In early 2024, I left behind my corporate career with one goal in mind - to do something that truly brought me joy. After years of long workdays and quick goodbyes to my dog (and husband) each morning, I knew there had to be a better way for working pet parents to give their dogs the happiness and exercise they deserve, even when life gets busy.
That’s when the idea for RUFF RIDERS was born.
As a lifelong dog lover and dedicated volunteer at our Williamson County Animal Center (WCAC), I saw a real need for this service just in my own neighborhood. So many dogs were home alone all day, just waiting for their humans to come back. I wanted to create something that gave those pups a chance to thrive, as well as give their humans peace of mind. Ruff Riders takes them on a safe, supervised trip where they get the playtime and attention they crave. We then return them home happy and all tuckered out.
For me, Ruff Riders is a passion project. It’s a way to make dogs’ lives better and bring a little joy to the people who love them. And let’s be real, nothing beats a bus full of wagging tails and goofy grins.

ABOUT US
Our Purpose
Ruff Riders is dedicated to providing professional dog transport from your home to a designated play area. We aim to enrich the lives of dogs by offering safe transportation and supervised playtime, allowing them ample recreation while you work.
Safety
We ensure that every dog is safely secured during transport, providing a worry-free experience for owners. Our vehicles are specially designed for canine safety and support. And our staff is trained in dog behavior, proper handling techniques, and emergency protocols.
At Ruff Riders, we keep our playgroups small so we can give each pup the attention and supervision they deserve. Smaller groups mean safer play, allowing us to monitor play styles and provide personalized attention.
Fun
We facilitate supervised playtime at Williamson County Animal Center Dog Park, or another quiet nearby park, allowing your furry family members to socialize and burn off energy. Playtime and socialization isn't just fun - it's fundamental - and is essential for their health and happiness.
