LANCASHIRE & GREATER MANCHESTER · DOOR-TO-DOOR DOG ADVENTURES

The best part of your dog's week.

We collect your dog from your door, take them somewhere beautiful — beach, forest, country park, fell — and bring them home tired and content. Small groups — six dogs to one walker. Qualified hands.

WHERE WE GO

One bus, twelve dogs, one proper adventure.

Fells, beaches, forests and secure fields all take their turn, and we pick which the night before, when we know what the weather is doing. Your dog is out at least 3 hours, and you get the photos afterwards.

THE BARK BUS

Most dog buses use crates. We don't.

Every dog gets their own pup pod — a harnessed seat with a window view, not a crate. Door-to-door collection, paw wash at the back, dash cams throughout. ETA on your phone; live tracking from the moment we set off.

  • Individual pup pods

    Never crates. Harnessed seats with a view.

  • Climate-controlled

    Cool in summer, warm in winter.

  • Classic FM, low volume

    Calming. We're serious.

SIMPLE PRICING

One adventure. A new place every day.

Beach, forest, fell, country park — we pick the day's destination and collect your dog from the door. The same price wherever the day takes us. Ride more often and the per-adventure price comes down.
