Ruff Ramblers…
…was founded on the conviction that dogs deserve the best, and that means customizing care to meet each animal’s unique personality. While some dogs crave outdoor adventure and socialization, others will prefer the calm of one-on-one neighborhood walks. Still others— such as those with high anxiety, reactivity or other behavioral or physical challenges, as well as puppies not yet fully vaccinated— will benefit from the at-home attention of drop-in visits.

“Hello! My name is Lucy, and I've been working with animals my entire life. I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, you name it, and have worked professionally with domestic, wild, and farm animals since the age of 16, earning recognition for excellent animal husbandry skills along the way. I have a Petco Positive Dog Trainer certification and continue to study behavior analysis in my free time so as to better understand and communicate across species. Positive and fear-free training philosophies underlie my interactions with dogs of all sizes, ages, and dispositions in both group and individual contexts. At Ruff Ramblers, I bring a unique capability to understand your furry family member's individual needs and preferences. I look forward to getting to know you and your animal(s)!”
