Welcome to Bark N Ride
Breeders and trainers…
Being good at what you do just got a whole lot better.
If you’re one of the best in your field, you’re invited to join the underground world of free travel, more money, happier customers, safer dogs, new friends, and meaningful community…made just -and only- for you.
Once you get inside & see the possibilities, you’ll know why this is the worst-kept secret in the profession right now…
What Is Bark N Ride?
Bark N Ride is a community platform designed to connect verified dog professionals to coordinate shared transportation of dogs. And actually get paid for it.
That’s it.
We screen heavily for puppy mills & backyard breeders. This community is for serious professionals only.
What Bark N Ride is NOT
A transport service or commercial carrier. In fact, it’s not any kind of product or service.
Just one very simple & valuable solution.
What Does it Cost?
Nothing. Bark N Ride is completely free! This platform was designed by breeders & trainers to quietly disrupt the $1 Billion pet transport industry & put that money back into the hands of the breeders, trainers and dog owners themselves.
Simply by coordinating what they are already doing with one another…
And provide a much better experience for the dogs and their owners.
Why A Need For Bark N Ride?
Let me introduce myself…
My name is Haley & I’ve been a pet professional (trainer) for 18 years.
I know from experience that one of the biggest headaches of the profession is transport.
Ideally, we always want new puppy owners to come and pick up their puppy on-site. That way, we know the puppy is traveling home with someone who cares deeply about them & we can take some time to answer any questions they have. In other words, we can connect. We strive for that as much as possible.
BUT… that isn’t always possible. Sometimes a puppy has to be delivered
Because, for pet professionals & new puppy owners, current pet transport options are riddled with problems.
The 4 Current Options
Airline Cargo Service
Yuck…for a lot of reasons. But faster than ground, usually. If you know, you know. And if you’ve ever had to ship or pick up a puppy from air cargo…you know.
Pet Nanny
Expensive & somewhat risky. The nanny will likely get the puppy where it needs to go, but doesn’t have any professional breeder or trainer expertise to support the puppy's behavior during transport or to share during handoff.
Ground Transport Service
Yikes! For a lot of reasons! Puppies get stuffed into a Tetris game of crates secured with straps & bungee cords & end up riding like that way farther than they need to while the driver picks up/drops off everyone else’s dogs on the way!
Take the Puppy Ourselves
Which is what we usually do.
Why?
Because we care.
So, we put life on hold for a day, or two to deliver the puppy.
When we can.
But maybe there's a better option. A much better option.
And it completely bypasses transport, cargo or nanny services and instead taps into the power of community.
Did you know?
Dog's heart rates have been recorded to reach 180 bpm while being loaded onto an aircraft cargo hold.

Did you know?
Ground pet transportation services report animal illnesses & deaths related to extended stress, long transport times, heat stress, dehydration & bloat.
Did you know?
Common issues with transport nanny services include last-minute cancellations, inexplicable delays, demands for extra fees, outright theft of funds, and failure to deliver pets safely or on time.
How It Works
Bark N Ride carefully screens & verifies established pet professionals to be a part of a ride-sharing community. Puppy mills & backyard breeders are NOT allowed.
Breeders & trainers post puppy delivery routes into a platform where they can be seen by the community & searched for by location.
They then have the opportunity to coordinate needed travel with one another.
And post star ratings & reviews about their experiences with one another in the community group.
Puppy arrives delivered by an actual pet professional at a low cost rather than a low-wage transporter who is hired by an agency that ends up keeping most of the money to run their business.
Reputable breeders & trainers add a little community, connection & coordination to what they’re already doing, make more money doing it, travel for free, and tap into solid resources to handle their transportation needs. Puppies have a much more enjoyable trip & owners are served at a whole new level…usually at a lower cost to them.
It’s a Win-Win-Win for everybody!
Now that’s taking care of people!
