My story

G’day! I’m Lord Rupert, a Standard Poodle from Ireland (YES, Ireland).

Every pampered pooch deserves a journey that feels as safe and loving as home — that’s why I started Rupert’s Pet Rides.

A nervous traveller, turned chauffeur

My hooman flew me out here a year ago to start a new life down under, and it didn’t take long to spot the problem every pet owner faces: appointments get missed, groomers get forgotten in the rush of the week, and when something urgent happens, like an accident, an injury, or an animal that’s been hit by a car, there’s rarely anyone reliable to call. That’s why I started Rupert’s Pet Rides: on-demand rides for pets, booked in minutes, so pick-up and drop-off is never the thing standing between your best friend and where they need to be.

Whether it’s a routine vet visit, a grooming appointment you almost forgot, a daycare run on a hectic morning, or the panic of an animal that needs urgent transport right now, I’m the call to make. As a fellow nervous traveller myself, I meet every passenger with a gentle hand, a soft voice, and all the patience in the world.

With me, and my trusty assistant Jessie, your companion is never a missed appointment or a moment of panic away from help. They’re cared for, every mile of the way.
