Owner of The Scruffy Puppy

Hi, I’m Christina, the owner of The Scruffy Puppy. 

I’m a lifelong animal lover and have spent many years caring for animals of all types and sizes—from horses and hamsters to cats and dogs of many different breeds. 

My experience includes working as a professional groomer and on horse farms, where I gained valuable hands-on experience caring for animals with different personalities and needs. 

I started The Scruffy Puppy to give local pet parents dependable, professional care delivered with genuine kindness and attention. I’m proud to work alongside a team of pet-loving caregivers who share that commitment. 

Together, we provide professional, loving pet care you can trust—so you can feel confident knowing your pets are safe, comfortable and receiving the attention they deserve.

This is my rescue pup, Gracie. What can I say?

“All animals are great,” I love them.

I love the experience with all the guys and girls I take care of through The Scruffy Puppy.

Dog Walker / Pet Sitter

Hi my name is Suzanne. I am an avid animal lover. I have been lucky to have had a dog in my family for most of my life and now i'm the proud momma of a rescue cat for the last 12 years. I love spending time with animals. I have been a dog walker/boarder for the past 7 years. Prior to that I ran an aftercare program in an elementary school becoming a second mom to many. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I will reinforce any specific commands you may use with your dog (stop and heeling at each corner...) A happy and safe pup is my objective.
