My name is Alejandra, but people call me Allie for short. 🙂 I was born and raised in Los Angeles, where I grew up riding horses and quickly became obsessed with my little farm life tucked away in the big city. I rode horses for 13 years, making lifelong friends and creating the best memories!!

After graduating high school, I went to college as a pre-veterinary student while working at a pet rehabilitation center. At the pet rehab center we specialized in aiding dogs with issues ranging from paralysis in their hind legs to mild arthritis management. Through this, I gained amazing hands-on experience working with many dogs each day, handling them with love, care, understanding, and patience. I then graduated from UC Davis with a Bachelor’s in Animal Science!

During the end of my college years, I decided to pursue an entirely different career in the fashion industry. Since then, I’ve continued to pursue this career while always making sure to have animals in my life. It might be safe to say I can’t live without them!

Since moving to New York, I’m so grateful to still be able to interact with pets. I can promise they will be spoiled with tons of love and attention! Needless to say, I’m so happy to be a part of the RuffCity Team and can’t wait to spend time with your pet!!!
