My name is Tristan, and I live in the Inwood area of New York City! I’ve been here for about 2 and half years, and I lived in Seattle, Washington before that. I grew up in Idaho for the most part, but I have bounced around to a few different states since then! I’ve spent my whole life enjoying the outdoors and I try to enjoy it as much as one can living here in the big city 🙂 What keeps me here is my love for the towering sprawl and all its art and music. I am a practicing illustrator and currently spend much of my free time this way.

For my whole life, I have been in the company of dogs. Growing up I always had a dog and when I moved out on my own, most of my friends and roommates kept them as well. I feel a natural kinship for each pup I come across, and genuinely feel that my life is enriched by dogs. I take advantage of every opportunity a friend or neighbor offers me to care for their special friend. I have a slew of experience walking, dog sitting, and simply just playing with dogs that helps me to understand their nature very well.

As a dog parent, I understand that you want the MOST trustworthy and dependable dog walker available. I know I can be that dog walker for you! Apart from gaining a proper walker and caretaker, your dog will be gaining a real and true friend. It is a tremendous privilege to be a part of the RuffCity team, and I genuinely look forward to spending time with your pup!
