Peanut
“Heather and her amazing team have given us the time, space and expert knowledge to make our puppy parenting journey more straightforward. Peanut is always so excited when they pick her up for socialization walks and comes back worn out and very happy. We’ve noticed how much better her recall is since she has been walked by Heather’s Hounds.
Kaye gave us a really helpful hour of family training, which has given us the confidence to press ahead with helping Peanut learn the basics.
She has also spent three happy nights of boarding with Emma while we had a trip away (and couldn’t take her along).
Heather is amazingly flexible and goes the extra mile to look after Peanut, and us too. We’re so pleased to have found Heather’s Hounds and can’t recommend them highly enough.”

Rex
“My Dog Rex has been with Heather’s Hounds since January 23. It was a big decision to have Rex walked by people he didn’t know. Our pooches are precious and so I was slightly anxious. From the point of initial contact, communication was excellent. Rex had a trial walk on a long line to see if he fitted in with the other doggies and that he was good for the handler who was Kaye initially. The admin forms were detailed as expected ensuring that good care will be taken. Rex immediately settled in and absolutely loves going on his walks. All the handlers are amazing and caring. I also receive videos and photos of Rex whilst he is out on his walk to reassure me. I love it that there are no more than 6 dogs with each handler. I would thoroughly recommend Heather’s Hounds to anyone.”

Rin
“Heather and her team started walking my mum’s dog for her when my mum was diagnosed with cancer and became too ill to walk him. It was a difficult decision to entrust mum’s most precious and loyal companion to others but I quickly knew that he was in the safest of hands. Mum very sadly passed away a few months later and her dog came into our care. We continued with the services of Heather’s Hounds as we both work full time. He knows all of the team very well and will often climb on to the walker when they arrive at the door with a look of love in his eyes. Heather and her team are so friendly and extremely flexible. We often have to leave doggy with family for the day at short notice and Heather will always accommodate last minute requests for him to be collected from a different address. Heather and the team always go the extra mile for the dogs including hot water bottles in the vans in the winter, treats on the walks and an abundance of cuddles! We are very grateful to have such a caring, friendly team to help out with he who has now become so precious to us.”

Chewy
“I cannot recommend Heather’s Hounds enough, due to job changes we need some extra help to look after our little fluffball during the week. I was so worried about finding the right person to help out. Heather and her team have been just great, they are so professional, friendly and the love and comfort they have brought me that Chewy is in safe hands has been wonderful. Chewy loves his walks with his new gang and is always excited to head out. Chewy in himself has become more confident around other dogs, which has been lovely to see. Just a huge thank you to the team from me and Chewy”

“As first time dog owners to a re-homed 9 month old Havanese puppy, Heather has been an absolute star.
She has helped us with all aspects of dog training - always reassuring us and never making us feel like we were asking a silly question.
She takes him on a weekly walk which he absolutely loves and Heather regularly provides photos and videos so we can see just how much fun he has with his new friends.
When we recently had to isolate and were unable to take our puppy out, Heather was amazing and stepped in at short notice and walked him every single day. Nothing is ever too much trouble.
Would definitely recommend Heather's Hounds.”

Loki
“Heather isn’t just a dog walker... she lives and breathes dogs and our pup adores her (and all at Heathers Hounds). She is patient, enthusiatic and picks up on all the different characters of her doggie clientele, making sure they all feel special whilst helping them develop their social and obedience skills. From puppy walks, to socialisation walks to longer ‘tire my crazy dog’ out walks... Heather has it covered... and you even get the most amazing photos of your furry babies showing all the fun they’re having when out and about”

Honey
“Heather has walked Honey for three months now. I have to say Honey just can’t wait for her, or one of her team, to come and pick her up. She gets so excited to see them which shows me she thoroughly enjoys the walks. Heather is always on time and communicates if there is any change.
She even celebrated Honeys birthday with dog hats and cake. It was so sweet.
She is also an amazing photographer and regularly takes and sends me pictures of Honey playing and interacting with the other dogs.
She is highly recommended by me (and Honey)”

Zola
“My Labrador, Zola, gets ego excited simply at the mention of Heather’s name. He loves his walks with her and despite only being walked once a week at the moment, I have noticed that he is even better behaved on his walks with us since staring his walks with Heather”
- David O’Hanlon
Pixie
“Pixie our 8 month old cockapoo has been going on a walk with Heather since she was about 14 weeks and she absolutely loves Heather. She patiently waits on the door every Monday and Thursday and is absolutely thrilled to see Heather and of course does not want to come back in when it’s home time. They have so much fun running around with other furry friends and their favourite Heather. You can see how loved and safe your dog feels with Heather. Would highly recommend.”

Milo
“I cannot begin to describe how amazing Heather is and how much my Milo loves what she does for him. It's the highlight of his week! Thanks Heather, you're a star”

Poppy
“Heather is the most knowledgeable person I know when it comes to dogs. She understands their needs and feeds off their behaviour. Not only is she incredible with our furry pals but she is a trustworthy, reliable and honest individual who I completely trust with our dog, Poppy”
- Megan Day-Haynes
Lola
“Heather is a true natural when it comes to dogs. My Westie Lola absolutely loves her and I feel totally comfortable leaving her in Heather's care knowing that she'll not only be safe but have the best time. It's great to have someone to walk your dog that you completely trust and you know loves your dog (almost) as much as you do. I'd recommend Heather to anyone looking for a dog walker as she is so much more than that - a true dog lover!”
