Excellent in every way

We found Houndly on social media and we have decided to try. We were so pleased with the service, the connection the communication. We love the fact that is a family home with lots of space and children involved. Its so good for socialise! We love the fact that the dogs are out in the forest so they can run freely and be in their element. We love the fact that we get constantly updates and funny videos to watch. We love the fact that our dog is exhausted after we pick her, or refuse to come home because she had a good fun.
We love the fact that is cozy and the dog feels safe and confy, but not only we also feel relaxed too. We love the fact that she is with her pack and learn to listen and follow.
Andy and his little daughter are great looking after our puppy. We couldnt ask for more. Always there when we need it! Thank you from us and Ara and see you soon again!

Excellent!!!

Excellent!!!! We are so very very grateful to have found Andy and Houndly. Our Vizsla pup has just returned after a 9 day holiday with Andy. The daily updates were so lovely to see, and we had such peace of mind knowing our boy was with someone who is so passionate about the breed. Andy has shown so much care and attention towards our pup Laszlo and we are already planning to get him booked back in again. I must say, we also really appreciated the effort Andy went to prior to the stay. Taking the time to learn about Laszlo on the phone, an initial meet and walk, Viz wizz AND trial stay before the holiday. I think this speaks volumes and I have so hesitation in recommending him. Thank you!

Great home boarder for my vizslas!

My two Hungarian vizslas aged 1 and 13 have just returned from 9 days home boarding with Andy at Houndly. His daily updates and photos have been wonderful, and I loved seeing the amazing walks they went on. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing they are being cared for as if they were his own. He’s a vizsla owner himself so totally understands the breed.

Arlo and Lexi have had the best time socialising with other dogs, enjoying plenty of adventures as well as lots of downtime relaxing in the garden.

I would recommend Andy to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and truly exceptional home boarder.

Highly recommend Houndly for dog…

Highly recommend Houndly for dog walking. Andy took our Vizsla Dudley for daily walks whilst we were away for 10 days and Dudley absolutely loved it. He was picked up and dropped off in Andy’s van, taken to new places everyday with the other dogs under Andy’s care and was walked when appropriate for the weather (it was unfathomably hot so Andy picked up Dudley very early to ensure he still had a good walk without getting too hot). Andy takes great care with the dogs and loves what he does

Brilliant dog boarding experience

Rex stayed with Andy at Houndly while we were in Egypt and couldn’t have been in better hands. The daily updates gave us real peace of mind — Rex was swimming, exercising and being thoroughly spoiled, including by Andy’s daughter who has clearly earned her title of Chief Cuddle Officer. He came home happy, healthy and well-exercised. We couldn’t recommend Houndly more highly to anyone looking for a dog sitter who genuinely loves what they do

There is no one else in the world I’d…

There is no one else in the world I’d trust more with my Dexter then Andy and the family at Houndly.

Dexter has been with Houndly day care for a couple of months going minimum once a week. This weekend Dexter had his first overnight stay for 3 nights. He is 8 months old and has not had a night away from us since the minute we got him. We were anxious to leave him as expected but we knew he’d be in good hands. Dexter had the most amazing weekend, regular updates on what he did as getting up to, photos/videos and just being able to feel so at home which made us feel so at ease and we could relax and enjoy our get away.

It’s hard to find someone to trust with your fur darlings and I’m grateful we have found Andy at Houndly. His communication is great, always happy to help us whenever he can and all round a lovely guy.

I think Dexter is definitely missing Myla and the Houndly gang after having so much fun on his little holiday!

I couldn’t recommend Houndly enough if you want the best for your pooch 🐶

Thank you Houndly again for always taking the best care of our boy ☺️

Fantastic experience

What a fantastic experience from start to finish! We had such a lovely first meet-and-greet walk, followed by a trial sleepover that went brilliantly. It made all the difference going into our holiday feeling completely confident that our dog Jasper was in the best hands.

We were able to properly relax and enjoy our trip knowing he was being so well looked after. The regular updates on Facebook and Instagram were such a highlight — we loved seeing what he was getting up to each day — and his end-of-stay report absolutely made our day. I’m very proud to say he was on his best behaviour and a very good boy!

Honestly, I think Jasper might be a little Houndly homesick after all the fun, attention and amazing walks he had. Safe to say he had the best time.

Looks like we’ll have to plan another holiday soon… for all of us — especially Jasper back at Houndly! 💛

Great GSP dog day care

Andy has been brilliant since I first contacted him from meeting my GSP to do an intro walk, comms around drop offs/pick and flexibility with times, so important when your working, to being brilliant with my dog, taking her on so many great adventures with the other Houndly dogs, providing a welcoming home from home setting and sharing lots of photos! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him!

Professional through and through.

Andy is a professional and provides a brilliant service, whether it’s walks, long stays or day care.
Our vizsla was right at home!
His facility is beyond anything we expected, indoors and out.
Andy's passionate about his walking service and is very knowledgeable, picking a route depending on the dogs he has which makes for a very happy pack.

5* stay for active dogs

Our high energy 2 year old vizsla had a fabulous stay for 5 days at Houndly.
From the videos and pictures we received each day she had long off lead walks racing around with other active dogs, lots of cuddles and a generally 5* getaway! Such a better alternative to kennels and we’re so pleased to have Houndly based within half an hour of us so that she can be well looked after when we go away. Thank you!

Podenco stay

Houndly UK (Andy) was highly recommended to us by another trusted dog sitter. We have X2 rescued Podencos who can be quite a handful, so it was very important to us to find someone knowledgeable, capable and active to look after them over a long weekend.

Andy's set up was perfect. A warming house, big back garden and surrounded by countryside for long walks and adventures. It's so relieving going away knowing they are with someone who treats them as their own. It allowed us to enjoy our trip away

I would 100% recommend and will certainly be using again

Excellent service

Our golden retriever was very well looked after, kept active throughout his several night stay and we got regular updates on how he was doing. I would definitely recommend Andy and know our dog will be very pleased to stay again in the future !

Home from home care

Andy at Houndly really looked after our 4 year old Vizsla Ralph while we had an extended stay away. It’s was like home from home but even better as he got to play with Andy’s dog Myla who he loved. It was lovely to relax on our trip knowing our boy was getting the best treatment and care, and the regular Houndly updates really helped put our minds at rest. Can’t recommend highly enough
