Spring is nature’s way of reminding us to start fresh. The days stretch longer, the air feels lighter, and the trails call us back to ourselves. Stepping outside isn’t just a walk—it’s a reset. A moment to breathe, to reconnect, and to let the simple joy of being outdoors work its quiet magic.

For us, there’s nothing better than wandering through the trees, feeling the ground firm beneath our feet, and watching our dogs take in the world with fresh excitement (even if they’re slightly heartbroken about the lack of mud!).

Looking for the best woodland walks? DM us—we’d love to share our favorite spots. And keep an eye out… our Guide to the Best Local Walks is coming soon!

🐾 Every animal is different, and that’s what we love most. Some need space, some need extra cuddles, and some just need their dinner served exactly on time. 😆

At Hound & Hoof, we take the time to get to know them—fitting into their world. It’s all about keeping things familiar, comfortable, and stress-free. 💛

🐾Tailored care, happy pets, peace of mind. 🐾

At Hound & Hoof, we know every pet is different. That’s why we take the time to understand their needs—whether it’s group walks for social dogs, gentle solo strolls, or playtime to burn off energy.

🐶 Training? Mackó, the lively Springer Spaniel, is perfecting his sit and stay.
🐶 Playtime? Hoodoo, the Flat-Coated Retriever, loves his off-lead runs to let off steam.

With a background in Zoology, animal care and training experience, we work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from confident companions to those needing a little extra patience and care.

🐴 Equine care? Absolutely.
🐱 Cat sitting? Of course.

We’re fully insured, pet first aid trained, and NARPS accredited, but more than that—we just really care.

🐾What a week it’s been! 🐾

We’re so excited to share that Hound & Hoof has welcomed FOUR wonderful dogs to our walking family this week! 🎉 Seeing wagging tails and happy faces out on our walks has made every moment worth it.

Introducing two of our new furry friends..
A nearly 14-year old Samoyed who brings playfullness and joyful energy to our outings. He's known for his chatty nature and loves to say hi to everyone we meet.
And Mackó, a lively nine-month old golden spaniel puppy, he's bursting with energy and enthusiasm and is always ready to play! He's also super smart and eager to learn, and we're looking forward to weekly walks and puppy training sessions.

We’ve also been blown away by the enquiries coming in—thank you for trusting us with your pets and for all the kind words of support. 💛

If you’re looking for premium care for your pets—whether it’s dog walking, training, or bespoke services—please don’t hesitate to get in touch. 🐶🐱🐴
