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.
Electric ramp
For the dogs who don't fancy a jump.
Classic FM, low volume
Calming. We're serious.

YOUR DAY, FROM THE BUS
Five updates between “see you soon” and “home safe”.
Night-before reminder
A text the evening before with the morning's pickup window and any weather notes.
Driver call on the way
We ring you when we're 10 minutes out so your dog has time to settle by the door.
Live ETA on the bus map
Once we're on the run, the Bark Bus shows live on your account page. Phase 2.
Mid-session photo drop
Photos and short clips from the field, sent to you while we're still on site.
End-of-day report
Two lines on how your dog actually did — sociability, energy, anything we'd flag.
