Pet care experience
Hound hotel offering a warm welcome
I would be delighted to welcome your dog to stay in my quiet, safe home. My partner Seb and I have had Birdie, our rescue greyhound, for 2 years. Before adopting Birdie, I grew up with a dog and I've volunteered with dog-walking charities over the years and walked dogs and done catsitting for friends and relatives. When Birdie joined the household, I had to help her adjust to her new surroundings and life as a family pet. With time and patience, she's settled in wonderfully. Birdie loves the company of other hounds and I'm hoping to welcome some new visitors into our pack. Meet-and-greets / trial visits welcome. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions!

Ratings and reviews
Very responsive and attentive. Took time to learn about my dog and kept me updated with photos throughout the day. Last minute booking and very accommodating! Very much appreciated!
Verity was a wonderful carer for our own dog which we acquired when she was about 12.. She walked her willingly and took responsibility for her care and meals. When we were losing our dear dog aftet 14 years, Verity travelled home especially to be with her in her last days. Verity has always loved all animals and dogs and was a dog walker while at Uni and latet for the Cinammon Trust. About 18 months aho she and her partner acquired a retired greyhound. No dog has been better cared for! Verity is a responsible and caring person and I highly recommend her services as a dog carer.

Schedule
I work from home so there is usually always someone around during the work day. (I am out on Tuesdays so not currently taking Tues bookings). I tend to walk first thing, before the working day, and again after work. There are playing fields, open countryside and neighbourhood footpaths in the local area, and I can tailor walks to your dog's preferences and needs. Enclosed back garden for toilet opportunities through the day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have an enclosed back garden (6-foot fences). Caring for an ex-racing greyhound, I'm well versed in ensuring that the home environment is safe, secure and peaceful. Meet-and-greets / trial visits welcome, and if you have any specific questions/requirements please don't hesitate to get in touch.

A typical day
Safe, on-lead walkies in the local area, allowing pauses for taking in all the interesting smells and sights along the way. Attentive care throughout the day, providing cuddles, play, enrichment activities and plenty of peaceful quiet time for undisturbed snoozing.
