A Different Breed Of Dog Care
A thoughtfully curated approach to dog walking, daycare and home comforts. Because the very best care should feel just like home.
The Collective Philosophy
The Hound Collective was founded on a simple belief: our dogs deserve the same care, attention and consideration that we would expect for ourselves.
Having grown up surrounded by animals on a farm, caring for dogs has always been second nature. With over five years of experience in dog walking and boarding, alongside volunteering with Guide Dogs, we've developed an understanding of what makes every dog different.
From energetic young pups to those who prefer life at a slower pace, we believe exceptional care begins with getting to know the individual.
The Hound Collective brings together this experience with a more personal, considered approach to everyday dog care. A place where familiar faces, thoughtful routines and genuine companionship come as standard.
A Typical Day At The Hound Collective
We believe luxury isn't about extravagance. It's about the details. Knowing their favourite walking route, understanding their routines and making sure every dog feels comfortable, happy and completely at ease.
No two dogs are the same, and neither are their days with me. Whether we're heading out for a countryside walk, exploring local parks or enjoying some downtime at home, I make sure each day is tailored to their personality, energy levels and favourite activities. For the more adventurous, that might mean longer walks, games of fetch and plenty of opportunities to explore. For those who prefer a slower pace, it's all about gentle strolls, a little enrichment and plenty of affection.
Above all, I want every dog in my care to feel happy, comfortable and completely at home, with a balance of exercise, play and relaxation that suits them best.
A Familiar Face.
A Personal Touch.
Meet the Founder:
Hi, I'm India.
The face behind The Hound Collective and the person you'll find at the other end of the lead.
I've always believed that leaving your dog with someone should come with complete peace of mind. That's why I wanted to create something a little different, where building genuine relationships with both dogs and their owners comes first. Whether it's a regular walk or a stay, my aim is simple: for you to feel completely at ease, knowing your dog is in good company.
When your dog is with me, they're treated as one of my own. I understand how important consistency and familiarity are, so I make every effort to maintain the routines and little comforts they're used to, from feeding times and daily exercise to their favourite ways to unwind.
I also know that being away from your dog isn't always easy, which is why I make communication a priority. You can expect regular updates, photographs and the reassurance of knowing exactly how your four-legged companion is getting on.
For me, it's the little things that make all the difference, and I want every dog to feel just as loved, comfortable and cared for as they would at home.
