Barko Polo

We are a unique dog walking / mobile day-care service based in Bexhill-on-Sea and our bespoke adventures are tailor-made for dogs who love to explore the great outdoors!

Our name pays homage to the famous Venetian explorer Marco Polo, who embarked on an epic journey across Asia during the height of the Mongol Empire.

From The Cuckoo Trail to Cuckmere Valley, our mission is to emulate Marco’s travels by taking small groups of dogs on big adventures to discover some of the best walks in Sussex.

With adventures ranging from one-hour local walks to full-day explorations, our service is perfect for dog owners such as busy working professionals, those who don’t drive, or those who are unable to walk long distances.

THE TRANSPORT

Our private Volkswagen shuttle has been professionally customised to the highest standards for dog travel and allows us to collect your dog directly from your home.

Its scarlet red paintwork matches the colour of Marco’s robes that he wore during his travels and its off-road tyres further enhance the feeling of adventure.

Inside the shuttle, we use a harness seatbelt system to safely secure your dog during transit, whilst air conditioning and blackout blinds help keep them cool and comfortable during warm weather.

Open viewing from the driver’s cockpit through to the holding area ensures we are able to keep a close eye on your dog at all times during transit and the shuttle is fully cleaned at the end of each day to maintain high infection control standards.
