🐾

  • Welcome to Wag & Roll Dog Bus, Essex's first dog adventure school bus where every adventure is tailored for your furry companions!

  • A unique service that provides a minimum of 3 hours enrichment and fun outings, crate free transport, and prioritises the well-being and enjoyment of your dogs, so you can relax while they're having fun!

  • With a custom-designed, climate-controlled dog bus, safety and a comfort is ensured when transporting your furry companions to secure dog fields, securely fenced wooded areas and specialised pup pools (just our group - nobody else).

  • As an owner of seven rescue dogs, extensive experience with dogs of many breeds and temperaments, and a strong animal advocate, I've learned a lot over the years! My passion for dogs drove me to design this bus for your dogs, giving them the opportunity to socialise, explore, and have fun in safe and supervised environments.

  • Rupert Bear, my friendly 'Turkadoodle', will usually accompany us on outings as our bus 'ambassapaw' and will make everyone feel welcome on board!

  • People are starting to see our bus around the local villages, with our pups' faces staring out of the window! Volunteers are also welcome to help out to our happy bus to please get in touch!

  • Launching on 4 July 2026 at Party in the Park, Hatfield Peverel. Register your interest now to get booked up and ready to ... Wag & Roll!

  • Wag & Roll firmly believes that dogs deserve the best experiences possible. A service designed for real life - perfect for busy professionals, or anyone who wants their dog to have a fulfilling outing while they work or manage life’s demands.

  • Our focus is on creating fun outings and wagging tails and value the importance of each dog's individual needs and personality.

  • Currently operating on weekday mornings, every trip lasts a minimum of three hours, ensuring plenty of time for activities, games, exercise, and discovery. (We will not be operating in very hot weather to keep all pups safe).

  • If we are unable to operate due to hot weather, we can offer a 30 or 45 min hot weather pet care service at your chosen times. Replacing daytime walks with welfare visits, garden breaks, enrichment sessions and cooling care to keep your dog safe.

  • Local weekly swimming trips to specialist pup pools are also offered for those water-loving pups (maximum of five dogs per session) with a one-acre agility field for those who are not so keen on swimming. Or you could get them a little life jacket link: www.floatpup.com to give them a little more confidence! Bookings at our specialist pools go quickly so best book well ahead!

  • Is your dog's birthday looming? Why not book us for an outing and invite their friends along (subject to temperaments of course)! They will all get a complimentary puppuccino, treats, a birthday hat and it will all be filmed!

  • All new relationships start at a secure dog field to get your dogs accustomed to us and vice-versa, and before they 'embark' at more adventurous locations. Each secure location is guaranteed lots of sniffs, hide 'n' seek and adventure! Rest assured, we will ensure they have plenty of fun wherever they go! Bring your toys!

  • Hot weather pet care service (during hot weather only when we cannot operate) at any time of the day/evening. £12 for 30mins or £15 for 45mins.

  • We can also offer transport to/from your groomers and vets if you are unable to take them yourself. Please ask.

  • We can also provide safe transport to/from events for up to 10 dogs if you are planning private doggy parties!

  • All customers are welcome to join our designated Wag & Roll WhatsApp group so we can provide updates for each daily outing. An app will be coming soon too, which will simplify the booking process further and provide additional information when we are out on the road.

We take great pride in what we do!

🐾It’s the perfect middle ground for dogs who:

  • Want more than a 1-hour walk, but a full day's doggy daycare is too long.

  • Have oodles of energy to burn or just want to sniff at leisure.

  • Need structured socialisation in smaller, supervised groups.

  • Don’t enjoy being indoors all day, and love exploring new places.

  • Need confidence-building in a safe, supportive setting.

  • Thrive with routine, gentle guidance and positive experiences.

🐶 Why We're Different

With an emphasis on longer outings and secure locations, the Wag & Roll Dog Bus brings its own personality and values:

  • Crate-free, climate-controlled luxury travel. Every dog travels safely and comfortably with their crate-free harnessed pod and/or harness (dependent on size). The bus has blinds to block out the sun and for when parked.

  • Small groups for big adventures. We keep numbers low so every dog gets the right attention and support. We also try to match temperaments and energy levels.

  • Safe and secure 10-acre woodland to explore!

  • Specialist dog pool outings - for our aqua-pups!

  • A focus on their wellbeing. Exercise, sniffing, enrichment, confidence‑building, and social skills are at the heart of every outing.

  • A service designed for real life. Perfect for busy professionals, or anyone who wants their dog to have a fulfilling outing while they work or manage life’s demands.

  • Regular updates. Photos, videos, and little stories from the day so you never miss a moment.

  • Loyalty points. Book 5 trips with us (excluding their first taster ride) and get a 6th trip half price!

🐶 Trial Trips

To keep every dog safe and happy, we offer a complimentary first ride (not including our pool/agility field excursions). This ensures our bus environment suits your dog and that they’re comfortable joining our groups (which may differ each day and week) for their adventure. We offer this as getting your dog to their adventure safely and joyfully is what we’re all about.

Please note that, due to space and safety restrictions, we are limited in the number of helpers who can travel on the bus with our pups. Unfortunately, this means we are unable to accommodate owners alongside their dog.

🌿 A Typical Wag & Roll Adventure Day

  • Your dog is collected in the morning (between 7.45am-8.15am during the summer months, and between 9.30-10am during the autumn-spring months) - either from designated paw-stops or from home - and whisked off for a few hours of fun. (We will not be operating in very hot weather).

  • They will be exploring secure fields and 10 acres fenced woodland areas, as well as trips to specialist dog splash pools each Tuesday (subject to change): who also offer a great agility field too for our non-swimmers or while one group are swimming. We are also looking into new sniffari trips! This gives your pups ample time for playing and socialising with friends, enjoying enrichment activities, and relaxing in nature.

  • After a little treat (if allowed!), a clean‑up, and a final bit of play, they’re dropped home happy, tired, and ready for a cosy nap.

🐾 Frequently Asked Questions

Will my dog travel in a crate?

Definitely not! Each dog will either have its own open pod with secure harness or will be securely harnessed at ground level - safety is of paramount importance on our bus.

How long will each trip last?

Each trip lasts a minimum of three hours (traffic dependent), including pick-ups, transport, play/swimming/treats on way home and drop-offs.

Do you collect and drop-off from homes?

Yes we do, but to minimise the time spent on our bus and more time for adventure, we offer designated enroute 'pup stops' as near to our you as possible. We have a number of 'pawstops' available - please refer to our registration/booking form.

Is your bus suitable for senior or less mobile dogs?

Absolutely - we have easy access steps through our powered side door and a powered tail lift at the rear of the bus to help our more senior/less mobile dogs.

What activities are included?

We try to cater for all energy levels. This includes supervised socialising (in securely fenced fields, some with agility courses, or woodland), swimming, games etc. Anything that's fun and enriching! They also get a little treat on the way home (if allowed!). Please flag any allergies prior to travel.

Will my dog be supervised at all times?

Yes, all dogs will be supervised at all times.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We have 'care and custody' and public liability insurance. Full details are outlined in our Terms & Conditions.

How much does it cost for my dog to join your bus?

We charge from £30 per dog (dependent on location). Swimming trips are an additional £15 (max 5 dogs per session) as we also hire the agility field alongside the pool area for our non-swimmers/rotation swimmers. We think this is great value for a unique service and with the activities we offer!

Can I volunteer? Yes! We are always happy to welcome volunteers on board our bus. You must love dogs though!

How do I pay?

We can only accept bank transfers in advance of each trip. You can also set up a regular subscription with us if easier.

Where can I follow you?

We will share regular updates on our local Facebook and Instagram forums and the Wag & Roll WhatsApp group. You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram: wagrolldogbus.co.uk or email us at bookings@wagrolldogbus.co.uk

Testimonials

Comments from some of our waitlisted clients!

I am really looking forward to Nicola getting her happy bus launched! My girl will love it I am sure and we are already on her waitlist in readiness!

What a faaabulous idea. Cannot wait to see it and book Jack in.

Oscar and Harry are going to love this - especially the pool outings. Well done Nicola - we needed something like this around our way.

I've been following Nicola's journey with this bus for weeks now. Cannot wait to see it up and running as it fills a gap between an hour's dog walk and doggy daycare around our villages. Essex's first doggy school bus here you come!
