About Us
Hi! We’re Stas and Valerie — a family from Ukraine, now building our dream business here in Washington together with our 2-year-old pup, Rin.
We created Bark & Ride Adventures because we wanted something better for dogs: safe, supervised outdoor play, real exercise, and a chance to socialize in small groups — not crowded daycares.
Because a tired pup is a happy pup. 🐾💛
