House And Hound
Do You Need A Dog Sitter? 

Is a dog sitter a good option for you and your hound/s? We offer a dog siting service tailored specifically to Greyhounds.

We are also happy to sit for any breed of dog as long as they are happy to spend time with Sunny and he is happy to stay with them.

Going away on holiday can be a bit of a nightmare if you spend your time worrying about your furry family members.

Some hounds are perfectly happy in boarding kennels, some even see it as a holiday of their own. Others are not so impressed.

I would never have put Yogi in kennels as he was such a nervous boy. 

Sunny on the other hand can’t wait for me to leave when I occasionally drop him off at ‘doggy day care’.

How Does Our Dog Sitter Service Work?

Home Comforts

Sunny is very much part of the team so we do prefer to have him meet your hound/s before we make any firm commitments.

If your hounds are happy to have Sunny for a visit we can take care of them in their own home. We will ensure they keep to their routines for walks and mealtimes and we’ll give them as much love as they want.

We’ll also water houseplants, and gardens, mow lawns and do any other bits and pieces that may need keeping on top of while you’re away.

No place like home

Having someone present in your home gives you extra peace of mind too.

We provide all of our own food, and Sunny’s, so you’ll only need to make sure there’s enough food to your hounds while you’re away. 

We’ll also make sure you have bread, milk and whatever other essentials you need in for your return.

We're fully insured and DBS checked and are happy to show you the documents on request.

Unfortunately to care for a hound in our home we would need a licence, which we don't have. However, we do know know people who do.

If you live in the DN21 area, or don't mind travelling, we highly recommend Lorraine at Sighthound Stopovers.

Walking

While we don’t offer a regular dog walking service we may be able to accommodate your Greyhound on occasion.

If you live local to the DN21 area and need help with the odd walk give us a shout and we’ll see if we can help. If we’re not available we can put you in touch with other Greyhound friendly dog walkers in the area.
