Denise Rubin, Mercedes & Star

Luxury listings, couture collars, and the fluffiest entourage in real estate.

Tell us about your dogs— name, breed, and what makes them special to you?

Here are Mercedes and Star in front of their own custom closet filled with Gucchewi, Chewy Vuitton, Hairmes, Pawda, and Chewnel. We match every single day! Mercedes (left) is a teacup Yorkie, and Star (right) is a Maltese. To me they’re not just dogs, they’re my fur babies. Whether they’re cuddled up or following me from room to room, they’re my little shadows with big hearts. They’re paws-itively perfect and make every day brighter and better.

How do you juggle your work or personal life with your dogs? 

As a very busy Realtor with over $2.7 billion in sales, my days are packed with appointments, but Mercedes and Star are 2 paw-some assistants. They come to the office with me every day and even join me for some showings. We’re pretty much inseparable. On the rare occasion I have to be somewhere without them, I take comfort in knowing they’ve got each other. I have two dog beds in every room, but they still choose to curl up together in one. They’re the ulti-mutt best friends.

Share some memorable moments involving your dogs that you’ll never forget.

Every day is a memory in the making, but I love when others see them for the adogable fashionistas they are! One unfurgettable time was during filming for my TV show; I was showing the building amenities, and the spa attendant literally took a bathrobe off a teddy bear because it was the perfect size for Mercedes! Another standout was the day I got my new Rolls Royce. The team went above and beyond by placing her in a mini matching Ghost just for Instagram pics. They woof to pose and you can see on their IGs @YorkieFashionista and @PoshStar.
