Meet Christiana
Founder
Hi, I’m Christiana Hines, founder and owne of r Hampstead Hounds I am both a home and pet owner, plus I had a demanding job in the media, so I know exactly how it feels to have a full-on schedule!
When you are at work, away for the weekend or jetting off overseas, the last thing you want is to be worrying about the security of your home or the wellbeing of your pets. We totally understand and our whole ethos is to give you complete peace of mind – you can be confident your prized possessions and your beloved pets are safe and cared for.
I also appreciate that every client, property, household and pet is different. We therefore offer a truly bespoke and personalised house sitting or dog walking service that is tailored to the individual needs of you and your pets.
Originally I covered all the house sitting and dog walking myself but as the business has grown I’ve hand-picked a small team of responsible, caring and reliable people with ample experience to look after your home and care for your animals.
The business is fully insured and all members of the team are CRB/DBS checked.

One-to-one Walks
Just the two of us
We recognise that every dog is different, with its own unique physical characteristics, personality traits and behaviours.

We’ve also found that some dogs really do need exercising on their own and require the full-time attention of a single walker. This allows us to closely observe them over time, then take a well informed and considered approach to helping them make changes.

Our team are patient, experienced, caring and focused, providing regular feedback on progress and discussing next steps.

We offer one-to-one walks for dogs that are:

Aggressive, nervous, anxious or who present behavioural challenges
Shy and need to work on their confidence
Need their recall improving
Overweight and need gradual help to get back in shape
Very energetic and need a lot of exercise, focus and discipline
Need to be on lead or work towards being off lead
Exceptionally strong and require the full focus of one walker
Recovering from an operation or serious illness and need a walk that perfectly matches their individual needs
Older and wants to take things gently then enjoy some time at home for a cuddle, food and human company

Adventure Walks
Exciting adventures with best friends
Over the years we’ve discovered that many of the dogs we look after love to head out with a playmate or two. So on our Adventure Walks your dog will usually be accompanied by a couple of chums they really get along with.

This is great for them because dogs love the company of other hounds. Just look at these pictures and you’ll see how much they are enjoying themselves! It also means you can be confident your pooch is making friends, is well socialised and comfortable around others. Plus your dog-walking budget goes a bit further too.

We pick up and drop off on foot. Adventure walks can be set for 1, 1.5 or a 2-hour duration. They suit owners who can be slightly flexible on pick up schedules – you can choose morning or afternoon but the exact time may vary from day to day.
