In the twilight of our shared moments, there lies a soulful bond that transcends words.
My beautiful companion, whose love shines beyond measure, has begun to slow down, his tired eyes adoringly gazing up at me, trusting and accepting.
He rests close, a warm presence that feels like home, forever loved and always appreciated.
As my dear boy grows older, each day spent together is a cherished reminder of the joy and loyalty he has given.
Throughout this journey of life, it’s been a privilege to walk beside him, treasuring every wagging tail and soft sigh. His presence throughout everything has been a gift and his love and devotion an eternal blessing..

Our Story

R V Hounds came about when our rescue bassethound Boris was referred for hydrotherapy sessions following his diagnosis of hip dysplasia. At the time I was a voluntary dog-walker for the RSPCA but it quickly became apparent that I would need extra funding to help pay for Boris’ treatment as the insurance alone would not cover the cost.

So I decided to offer a dog-walking service to other pet owners, who like ourselves, often found it difficult to find someone to care for our dogs if we were on holiday or wanted to go out for the day.

I quickly established a small regular client base, most people work during the week and wanted their dog exercised while they were out, so I collect their dog from their home, take them for their walk and then return them after. Other clients just want cover for holidays and return each year. Some time after, I was able to purchase a van that I was able to equip with crates and a cooling fan.

Both Boris and our other bassethound Henrie have since passed away, but I love dog-walking and so will continue my business in both their memories as long as people want me to care for their pets. Hank is the latest bassethound member of our household and will sometimes accompany me.
