DENVER, Dec. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — DogeRide, Denver’s newest and most innovative ridesharing service, is proud to announce the official launch of its pet-friendly hailing app.

“We wanted to create a ridesharing service that embraces that spirit, providing a solution for dog lovers who want their furry companions to be part of their daily lives. DogeRide is more than a rideshare; it’s a celebration of Denver’s dog-friendly culture.”

Designed to bring convenience and joy to pet lovers, DogeRide allows drivers to ride with their dogs as companions while welcoming riders to travel with their furry friends. With Denver being one of the most dog-friendly cities in the country, this service is set to revolutionize how residents and their dogs move around town.

Riders no longer have to worry about leaving their four-legged friends behind or struggling to find a rideshare that accommodates their pets. The DogeRide app allows seamless booking and ensures all participating drivers are comfortable with canine passengers.

To ensure a safe and pleasant ride, dogs must weigh under 80 pounds and be on a leash or in a crate during the journey.

“Denver is a city that thrives on community and outdoor adventures, and dogs are a huge part of that lifestyle,” said Phil Warfield and Divine Tumenta, both Co-founders of DogeRide. “We wanted to create a ridesharing service that embraces that spirit, providing a solution for dog lovers who want their furry companions to be part of their daily lives. DogeRide is more than a rideshare; it’s a celebration of Denver’s dog-friendly culture.”

The app’s user-friendly interface allows riders to indicate when they’re bringing a dog along, ensuring that drivers are prepared for their canine co-pilots. Additionally, all DogeRide drivers are trained to prioritize safety and comfort for both human and canine passengers. From trips to the vet or park to daily commutes, DogeRide is committed to making every journey tail-waggingly fun and hassle-free.

DogeRide also offers unique features tailored to the needs of dog owners and pet-loving drivers. Drivers are encouraged to bring their dogs along for companionship while working, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for riders. This innovative approach not only enhances the drivers’ experience but also provides riders and their dogs with a sense of familiarity and connection.

“DogeRide is the ultimate ridesharing service for dog lovers because we’ve designed it with the needs of Denver’s vibrant pet-owning community in mind,” said Chad Harris, Co-founder of DogeRide. “Whether you’re heading to the dog park, running errands, or going on an adventure, DogeRide ensures your furry friend can come along for the ride. We’re thrilled to be part of Denver’s pet-friendly ecosystem.”

DogeRide’s mission is to create a safe, reliable, and dog-inclusive transportation option that reflects the unique lifestyle of Denver residents.
