About Us
🐾Wag & Roll Dog Bus
Essex's first Crate-Free Dog Adventure Bus!
🐶 Not just a walk. A proper adventure. 🐾
3+ hours of supervised outdoor fun, woodland exploring, specialist pup pools, enrichment, play and socialisation — all aboard our unique crate-free, climate-controlled dog bus.
🎉 FIRST TASTER RIDE - *FREE during July & August
*15% of standard price from September 🎉
🚍 More than just a walk, less than full doggy daycare!
🐾Bridging the gap between a one-hour walk and full doggy daycare, Wag & Roll gives them the chance to explore, sniff, run, play, socialise and simply be a dog — while you get on with your day.
🐾Our adventures last at least 3 hours and take place at carefully selected, secure outdoor locations across Essex. We operate mainly in the mornings but have afternoon slots available on some weekdays.
🐾And when the adventure is over?
🐾A happy, tired dog comes home ready for a well-earned snooze! 😴🐶
🚌 A typical Wag & Roll adventure
1. 🏠 Pick-up
Your dog joins us at their designated pup-stop, your home or agreed collection point.
2. 🚍 Off we go
Our crate-free, climate-controlled bus takes them safely to their adventure location.
3. 🌳 Adventure Time
Sniffing, exploring, playing, enrichment and socialising in a secure outdoor environment.
4.🍦 Pup-cups!
Every dog gets a natural yoghurt pup-cup and a few treats on the way home (if allowed!)
5. 💤 Home for a nap
After several hours of fun, we bring your happy, tired pup home!
🌳 What makes Wag & Roll different?
🚍 Crate-free travel
Our specially converted bus has comfortable, secure open pods rather than traditional crates.
🐾 Small, carefully managed groups
We get to know every dog and consider their personality and temperament when creating groups.
🌲💦 Proper outdoor adventures - more than just walking
Secure fields, woodland exploring, specialist canine swimming pools, sniffing, enrichment and plenty of opportunities to have fun and giving your dog something different to look forward to.
❤️ Experienced & caring
Your dog is looked after by an experienced crew who genuinely love dogs and understand how important they are to you.
🔐 Safety first
Fully insured (Care, Custody & Control), DBS checked and Pet First Aid trained, with your dog's welfare always our priority.
🐶 Is your dog a Wag & Roll dog?
Wag & Roll could be perfect for dogs who:
🐾 Have energy to burn
🐾 Love exploring and sniffing
🐾 Enjoy carefully managed socialisation
🐾 Need more stimulation than a standard walk provides
🐾 Would benefit from confidence-building and enrichment
🐾 Are happier having a few hours of adventure rather than a whole day at daycare
🐾 Private charters for up to 12 dogs (+2 'pawrents') for events/doggy parties.
Whether your dog is young and energetic, needs a little more stimulation or simply loves an adventure, we'd love to meet them.
Happy dogs. Muddy paws. New friends. Big adventures.
That's what Wag & Roll is all about.
🐕 Your dog's welfare comes first
Leaving your dog with someone else is a big deal. We understand that. That's why we take their safety and wellbeing seriously.

❤️ The Person behind Wag & Roll
Hello! I'm Nicola and, as the owner of several rescue dogs over many years, I know how much our dogs mean to us. I wanted to create something different: a fun, safe and enriching experience where dogs could have proper adventures, make new friends and enjoy being dogs.
And so the Wag & Roll happy dog bus was born in July 2026.
What started as an idea has become Essex's (and currently the south's) first customised dog adventure school bus — and I can't wait to welcome more waggy passengers aboard!
Check out our videos below!
Wag & Roll Dog Bus
Essex's First Dog Adventure School Bus
🎥 Some recent trips.
🐾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 more of an active lifestyle than are currently getting.
Need confidence-building in a safe, supportive setting.
Thrive with routine, gentle guidance and positive experiences.
💛 Our Promise :
Every dog is treated like family.
Every adventure is safe, structured, and joyful.
Every day is a chance for your dog to thrive.
It’s not just a walk, it’s a premium outdoor experience designed for dogs.
All employees are DBS checked.
Custody & Care, dog walking, bespoke pet transport insurance and public liability insurance.
Industry-leading safety standards on a fully GPS-tracked bus.
Qualified pet first aider/medical equipment on board.
🐶 Complimentary Taster Rides (Jul/Aug)
To keep every dog safe and happy, we offer a complimentary first ride during July and August (then 15% off our standard price from September) (not including our pool/agility field excursions) with our experienced crew members. 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 cancellations within 24hrs of a free trial trip will be charged at £5 per dog to cover the costs of any booked locations if we are unable to proceed with our booking due to low numbers).
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.

Testimonials
Comments from some of our lovely clients!
Saw this bus at its launch at Party in the Park on 04 July. My girl will love it I am sure and we are already on her waitlist in readiness!
Jane
What a faaabulous idea. Jack now booked in.
Michael
Oscar and Harry are going to love this - especially the pool outings. Well done Nicola - we needed something like this around our way.
Emily
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!
Jen
Seen the bus around our village - am now booked in and we can't wait! One hour is not enough for my girl, so this will be perfect.
Poppy
Had an amazing morning on the Wag & Roll Happy dog Bus. 100% recommend to anyone who needs a helping hand with their dog. My dog is anxious in vehicles, settled down very quickly and loved it!
The bus takes dogs to woodlands and pools for swimming so a real adventure for them - esp the rides on the bus!
Carey-Anne
Newton LOVED his pool party last week! Nicola and her team sent regular videos throughout his trip which gave us peace of mind. Looking forward to booking the next one. Highly recommended this dog bus as it's so different!
