# Hounds and Homes

Hounds and Homes is a professional dog walking service based in Bicester, run by a trustworthy and passionate dog walker who genuinely loves spending time with canines. The business serves dog owners across Bicester and surrounding villages including Stratton Audley, Deddington, Tingewick, and more, who need reliable exercise and care for their pets during busy periods.

The service operates on a simple premise: collection from your home, a local walk tailored to your dog's needs, and return of a clean, happy and exercised companion. What sets this business apart is the personalised approach. Every engagement begins with an initial consultation, allowing the walker to understand each dog's individual requirements—whether they're elderly, boisterous puppies, comfortable off-lead or requiring lead-only walks. This bespoke service ensures genuine peace of mind for owners.

The business demonstrates genuine care through practical details. Dogs are returned in easy-to-clean areas on wet days, fresh water is provided post-walk, and treats reward good behaviour during outings. The walker goes beyond standard dog walking by offering flexible scheduling (daily, weekly, monthly or occasional) and duration options suited to puppies and senior dogs who might not manage full-hour walks.

Beyond the core service, Hounds and Homes provides substantial added value through an engaging blog covering dog nutrition, training, behaviour, enrichment activities and local recommendations. This positions the walker not just as a service provider, but as a knowledgeable resource for dog owners seeking to improve their pets' wellbeing.
