Ruffio is being built by someone who’s been there — a creative developer turned dog walker, building the tool they wished existed when juggling dogs, bookings, and daily admin. It’s designed for solo walkers and sitters who love the job but not the paperwork. As Ruffio takes shape, it’s being packed with thoughtful features that other platforms missed — all to make life simpler behind the scenes.
After being made redundant from a seven-year role in a creative agency, Ryan launched Ruff Routes — his own dog walking business. It didn’t take long to realise just how much time scheduling walks, replying to messages, generating invoices, and tracking bookings could consume — time that could’ve been spent walking dogs (or simply switching off).
That’s where the idea for Ruffio began — in muddy fields, between pack walks and piles of paperwork. What started as one dog walker’s frustration is now becoming a simple, friendly platform designed to make life easier for solo pet care businesses.
