We have everything your pet needs
Exercise
Our centre is set in two acres of woodland, which our doggies just love to explore!
Each day at Hounds is structured so the doggies get a balance of free roaming time, mental and physical stimulation, as well as time for cuddles and naps too. Our dogs are kept in smaller groups to make sure they have our attention and are happy with friends.
Love
We treat every dog as if they were our own, which includes getting smothered with kisses and cuddles! Love and attention makes a dog happy, and at Hounds, every dog's happiness is our priority. We understand that each dog has its own needs. If that means they would prefer to go and play, or they would rather just relax and be smothered in kisses and cuddles, that's fine by us!
Knowledge
Our team has a structured training schedule to constantly improve our knowledge when it comes to our doggies. We have accredited canine behaviourists who visit the centre to keep us up to date. This means we can read behaviour better, preventing issues and maintaining happy and friendly doggies.
Don't just take our word for it!

Nicola and Kennedy
My dog Kennedy has been going to Hounds Doggy Daycare since he was just 5 months old and I genuinely wouldn’t take him anywhere else. The team are fantastic! They are friendly, professional and clearly passionate about what they do - they love the dogs like they are their own. Kennedy absolutely loves it there! I love the fact it’s in a natural setting as well.
The doggy school bus service is a total game changer! It’s so convenient and it makes our routine so much easier.
I cannot recommend Hounds and the team enough. It gives me total peace of mind knowing my dog is safe, happy and well cared for.
Ellie and Arlo
Words honestly can’t do justice to how wonderful Hounds is. Our puppy has been attending for around five months now, and every visit is pure excitement—he sprints straight to the gates, tail wagging, ready to go! We bring him once a week, and without fail we receive photos, videos, and thoughtful updates about his day, along with notices about upcoming events.
Since joining, his confidence has grown tremendously, and the team at Hounds have been fantastic in offering advice and training tips whenever we’ve needed support. The setting itself is amazing, with a secure forest space where the dogs can play, explore, and socialise with a variety of other pups.
We couldn’t recommend Hounds highly enough—if you’re considering doggy daycare, this is truly the perfect place for your dog to be happy, safe, and well cared for.
Kassidy and Wednesday
We absolutely love this daycare!
The staff are so friendly and caring, and they treat my dog like family. From the moment my dog wakes up on a daycare day (she always knows) she can’t wait to get inside with the staff, which says it all.
They go above and beyond with little touches—like adorable birthday treats—that make it extra special. She has such fun while she's there and I get regular video and photo updates during the day. Highly recommend!
Susan and Ruby
My 6 month old Puppy Ruby has been going to Hounds for daycare and socialisation sessions for a couple of months now.
I was very concerned about getting the right care for my young puppy. The set up at Hounds is fantastic and very unique. Dogs can be separated into 3 zones and they have plenty of stimulation with the environment at the daycare facility.
Being outside in a forest environment is every pups ideal set up and Ruby really enjoys her time here. She’s about to join the gang for doggy swimming sessions which is a fabulous introduction to her first swimming experience.
I would highly recommend Hounds Day Care and look forward to Ruby becoming part of the gang!
Aran and Harley
Harley has been coming here for about 6 months now and this was the best decision ever. Not only is there space outdoors for them to explore but its a mini adventure being in the forest.
The grounds are totally secure so there is nothing to worry about and whenever Harley is there i get regular videos and pictures of the Mischief he gets up to.
I've already recommended Hounds Daycare to a few friends and they have started sending their dogs here too.
Mark and Max
Our dog has been coming here since he was 4 months old and can honestly say that Hounds has been a fantastic way for him to develop his social skills.
The woodland space provides the best place for a dog to be a dog so they can enjoy their natural surroundings.
The staff are incredible and cant do enough for you and are always available to talk to for any advice. Wouldnt take my dog anywhere else
