# Happy Hounds Uppingham
Happy Hounds Uppingham is Rutland's first licensed dog day care centre, operating from purpose-built premises in Oakham. The business serves dog owners across Uppingham and the wider Rutland area who require professional care and exercise for their pets whilst they work or have other commitments.
The centre provides two core services: supervised dog day care and group dog walks. Their day care operates with small group sizes capped at eight dogs, ensuring individual attention and high welfare standards. The facility features a fully insulated barn for shelter, secure outdoor areas and a fenced field where dogs engage in structured, behaviourist-designed activities throughout the day. Sessions incorporate play, food enrichment, training opportunities and scheduled rest periods, with dogs returned clean, tired and happy.
What distinguishes Happy Hounds is their commitment to transparency and convenience. All clients access real-time updates and photos via the Time to Pet app. Collection and drop-off within three miles is included in all service fees, removing logistical barriers for busy owners. The team is fully insured, council-licensed (numbers 121146 and 123185), DBS checked and holds dog first aid qualifications. All dogs must be vaccinated and screened before attending, prioritising health and safety.
The business demonstrates genuine dog-centric values, having developed their daily schedule with a dog behaviourist to balance stimulation with essential rest. This professional, personalised approach—combined with their licensed status and transparent operations—makes them a trusted choice for owners seeking quality day care in Rutland.
