The Ruff Bus · launching this fall
Daycare without the commute. The Ruff Bus launches when 6 founding riders are aboard.
The route is not running yet. It starts once 6 families sign up. You can watch the seats fill up below.

Reserving a seat is free. If we launch, a $25 deposit holds your spot. If we do not, you get every penny back.
About the bus
Insured, road-tested, and already hauling dogs
This is a bus we own and insure, and it has been doing occasional pickups for our daycare families for over a year. What we are building now is a daily route. That takes a committed roster, so we are filling it the honest way: 6 founding families first, then the wheels roll every weekday.
How it works
Reserve with a $25 deposit
Refunded in full if we do not launch, applied to your first month if we do. Either way the $25 never disappears.
We design the route around you
Founding riders set the map. We build the Bentonville, Centerton, and Highlands (Bella Vista) corridor route around where your dogs actually live, capped at 45 minutes per ride.
Rides start on launch day
Hit 6 founding riders during the presale (August 3 to 31) and daily rides start September 8.
The founding rider deal
Founding riders pay $99/month for the first 6 months, then the regular $124.95/month. The pass covers the ride; it pairs with an active daycare subscription, which every rider needs to have.

Founding rider questions
What happens if you do not hit 6 riders?
Every deposit comes back in full, no questions, and we run the presale again in spring. You lose nothing by reserving early.
Which dogs can ride?
Dogs who are cleared for daycare with us: current vaccinations, temperament test passed. The bus is an extension of daycare, so the same standards apply.
How long is the ride?
45 minutes maximum. We design the route around where founding riders actually live, so most rides run well under that cap.
How do dogs ride?
Secured restraints for every dog, an insured vehicle, and a trained driver. Nobody rides loose.
