Victoria – Uptown

I’m Victoria and I’m originally from Akron, Ohio, and then I went to college in Ithaca, New York before making my way to NYC. A few of my close friends grew up in the city and after graduating, I moved here with my freshman year roommate. Outside of pet work, I am a photographer and artist so you can rest assured I’ll take some great pictures of your pet.

Before going to college I volunteered at an Animal Shelter, where I got to meet and walk all of the intakes. I loved getting to know each and every dog that came in. My family and I even adopted our family dog from that shelter. Many of the dogs I got to work with did have behavioral issues and even my own dog had trouble with reactivity. I find it easy to take the extra time to make dogs feel brave and encouraged.

I’ve always loved dogs more than anything. The joy that they naturally bring to a space is something I always cherish. My goal is to try to bring as much joy to their day as I’m sure they bring to yours. I am thrilled to be a part of the RuffCity Team and cannot wait to meet your furry friend!
