Meet the Owner: Kelly Hutcheson of Ruffin It

Meet Kelly Hutcheson, owner of Ruffin It, Fayetteville’s go-to pet care destination since 2022.

A Love for Pets and Community

Kelly isn’t just a business owner — she’s also a speech pathologist, a role that reflects her dedication to helping others. Her love for animals and her desire to serve the community led her to open Ruffin It, a space where pets are pampered, cared for, and treated like family.

When asked what she loves most about owning her business, Kelly says it’s the opportunity to provide a much-needed service to the community while getting to love on all the animals that come through the door.

Why Main Street Fayetteville

Growing up in Fayetteville, Kelly learned early on the importance of supporting local businesses. Her family owned a business here, and those experiences shaped her belief in community connection. Joining Main Street Fayetteville allows her to continue that legacy — supporting other small business owners while helping to keep downtown thriving.
