DapperTails, formerly The Ruff Life, was founded in 2017 by husband-and-wife team Chris and Emily Elias to make professional pet grooming more convenient, comfortable, and stress-free. What began as one mobile grooming van has grown into a multi-state mobile grooming company serving clients across Long Island, Southeast Florida, and North Carolina. Backed by more than 15 years of grooming experience, DapperTails remains a family-run business focused on safe, reliable, and personalized care for pets and their owners.
