Christina Ranaldi
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.
Susan
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.
Suzanne
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.

Christie
Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I truly love. I have always been the person who stops to say hello to every dog, gets excited to meet new pets, and enjoys spending time with animals of all ages and personalities. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and building a bond with them. Whether they enjoy long walks, playing fetch, chasing toys, cuddling on the couch, or just having someone nearby, I am happiest when I am spending time with animals and making them feel loved.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing a wagging tail, hearing a content purr, or earning the trust of a pet. I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, compassion, and plenty of love and attention. When caring for your pets, I promise to treat them as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind knowing your furry family members are not only receiving excellent care but are also being genuinely loved.

I’m also comfortable with medication administration and understand how important it is to provide each pet with patience, attention, and individualized care.
As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your animals in someone else’s care. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving their owners peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members! 🐾
