Meet the Founder

Our story began with Suzy and Oliver, our own furry family members. We loved spending time in the park, socializing and walking with other dogs. After working for a dog-walking service on the Upper West Side, Luis was inspired to start his own company dedicated to providing the best care possible. In 2011, Not The Rug was born.

As a long-time Williamsburg resident, Luis is committed to keeping our service local and tailored to the needs of the neighborhood. With roots in music and event coordination, Luis brings a unique perspective to dog care.

At Not The Rug, we believe in providing personalized attention to every dog we work with, just like we do for our own pets. Our passion for dogs and dedication to the Williamsburg community is at the heart of everything we do.

Services & Rates

At our core, we believe that the relationship between a pet and their caregiver is one of the most precious bonds. That’s why we always start by getting to know you and your furry friend during our free in-house consultation. It’s in these initial moments that the foundation for a strong, trusting relationship is built.

Our commitment to personalization extends to every aspect of our services. We understand that each dog is unique and has their own individual needs, so we make sure to tailor our visits accordingly. We believe in quality over quantity, which is why we never pack-walk and limit our walks to a maximum of three dogs per walk. This allows us to give your dog the attention and care they deserve.

We also believe that transparency is key when it comes to pricing. Our pay structure is simple and straightforward, and we provide 45 minutes of service. We have found that this amount of time is optimal for ensuring that your pet gets the exercise and attention they need to stay healthy and happy.

Ultimately, our goal is to provide a service that honors the unique bond between you and your pet. We know that your dog is more than just a pet – they’re a beloved member of your family. That’s why we take our responsibility to care for them so seriously, and why we are committed to providing a service that is tailored to their individual needs.

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.”

 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.”

 5/5

“Luis and his amazing team are the best! Our two dogs adore him and Reana, our primary walker. You can trust Luis to take care of your dog as if it was his own. He is also flexible and accommodating with schedule changes. Your dogs will be in great hands!”
