# Hounds & Hunters
Hounds & Hunters is a professional dog care service based in Cheltenham, run by Emma and Russell, who relocated from 25 years in corporate events and hospitality to pursue their passion for dogs. Operating since 2019, they provide a distinctive home-based approach to dog walking, day care and boarding in the local area.
The business caters to dog owners seeking reliable, personalised care that treats their pets as family members rather than clients. They work with dogs of all ages and temperaments, from puppies requiring frequent check-ins to elderly dogs needing gentle support. Their philosophy centres on understanding each dog's individual character, maximising their wellbeing through engagement and exercise, whilst creating a safe, comfortable environment.
What sets Hounds & Hunters apart is their small-scale, bespoke approach. Pack walks are deliberately limited to four dogs maximum, allowing proper individual attention and careful temperament-based grouping. Their day care facility, "The Dog House," operates from their family home rather than a traditional kennel, featuring a purpose-built heated dog cabin, multiple outdoor areas including woodland and agility sections, and integrated living spaces. This creates a genuine home-from-home experience where dogs interact naturally with family life.
Their three-tier service model accommodates different needs: scheduled wild pack walks for socialised dogs, flexible home visits for puppies and vulnerable dogs, and comprehensive day care with optional walks and enrichment activities. The combination of professional experience, genuine dog-first philosophy, and intimate, secure facilities makes them a distinctive choice for Cheltenham dog owners prioritising quality care.
