Meet the Founder

Our service started with my two dog’s Suzy and Oliver. We would spend our time in the park socializing, walking, and enjoying all the other dogs. After spending 18 months working for a dog-walking service on the upper west side. Luis’s love for dog-care led him to start Not The Rug in 2011. Keeping the company local to Williamsburg was always Luis’s intention. Not only had Luis been a resident of Williamsburg since 2006, he also wanted to provide a service that truly understood the neighborhood.

Luis’s roots are in music. Originally from Chicago, Luis moved to D.C in 2001, and NYC 2006 where he worked as Program Director/On Air personality at Sirius XM for eight years. Prior to entering broadcasting, Luis worked as talent buyer and event coordinator at Metro/Smart and organized large scale events.

Reviews & Testimonials

5/5
“Luis and team are truly the best of the best. It’s not easy to trust just anyone with our beloved fur baby, but Luis’s professionalism and kindness combined with the GPS tracking he provides puts even the most nervous pet parent (me!!!) at ease.”
- Jessica Y, Customer
5/5
“Luis is the guy you want your fur babies to be taken care of by. We have used him for over two years now and couldn’t even begin to tell you how grateful we are to have him! He has saved us so many times with our busy work schedules to return to our pups for a second walk. From their normal walk, we get text updates and pics everyday. He’s even helped us with the rehab of one of our dogs recovering from surgery and understanding that walks needed to be adjusted (and carry our guy outside) to help him heal. Seriously – hire Not The Rug. They won’t disappoint.”
