Read the film description

Three illustrated dogs pop up beside “Field trips for dogs.” A yellow bus rolls through a neighborhood and a photo reveals the real Fetch Bus. “We pick them up.” The bus window opens onto a photo of the pack exploring a creek: “90 minutes off leash. At a private park. Run. Splash. Make friends.” Maxi and a dog look out of the real bus window. “Home clean and fulfilled.” The illustrated bus parks beneath the logo: “All paws on board. Reserve a spot. fetchbus.com.” Upbeat instrumental music and gentle swoosh and splash sounds accompany the film; there is no spoken narration.

How it works

What happens on ride day.

Your dog has a regular ride day and gets to know the same group of dogs. We go out in rain, snow and sunshine.

FAQ

Questions about ride day?

Read the answers below or send us your own question.

Read the full FAQ
What does a day look like?

We pick your dog up at home, take the pack to a private park for 90 minutes off leash, rinse them off, and bring them back. We post photos from the field trip on Instagram that night.

Do I need to be home for pickup?

No. If you leave us a key, lockbox or door code, we can pick your dog up from inside and bring them back inside when the trip is over.

What if it rains?

Trips run in rain, snow and sunshine. If you'd rather keep your dog home because of the weather, that trip is added to the next month.

Is my dog a fit?

Every rider needs current vaccines and should get along with other dogs. Dogs must be spayed or neutered once they are 10 months old. We'll talk about your dog before the first trip.

What if we miss a day?

If your dog misses a field trip, it is added to the next month. We'll arrange the make-up day with you.

How do payments work?

Weekly plans ($60 per field trip, or $50 at twice a week) are paid one month up front, online or in person.

How do new dogs settle in?

We start with a call about your dog's routine and how they are around other dogs. For the first few trips, we keep them on leash while they get comfortable with the group.

What does my dog get out of it?

They get 90 minutes to run, sniff and explore off leash, plus regular time with a group of dogs they can get to know.
