Our Story
About Us
From the streets of New York City to the trails of Denver — built by a dog walker, for dog lovers.
Our Story
Ruff Crowd DNVR was founded by someone who spent years walking dogs through the boroughs of New York City — learning every breed, every quirk, and every tail wag. When life brought a move to Denver, it was clear this city deserved the same level of dedicated, professional dog care.
Now settled in Denver with my wife Leah and our Whippet Jackie, I started Ruff Crowd DNVR to bring big-city professionalism to Colorado's most dog-loving city. Every walk is treated with the same care I'd give Jackie — because your dog deserves nothing less.
Denver is a city built for dogs. The trails, the parks, the open space — we're out there every day making the most of it. Whether it's a solo adventure or a small-pack outing, we treat every dog like family.

The Mascot
Meet Jackie
Jackie is our resident Whippet and the official mascot of Ruff Crowd DNVR. She's fast, elegant, and absolutely convinced every walk should be longer. She keeps us honest.
What We Stand For
Safety First
Every walker is insured, background-checked, and trained in pet first aid. Your dog's safety is never an afterthought.
Real Experience
Years of professional dog walking in one of the world's most demanding cities means we've seen it all — and handled it.
Denver Proud
We live here, walk here, and love this city. We know the best trails, the friendliest parks, and the hidden gems.
Small & Personal
We're not a big app or a faceless platform. We're your neighbors, and we care about your dog by name.
