# Happy Hounds Newquay - Dog Walker & Sitter

Happy Hounds Newquay is a professional dog walking and pet sitting service operating in Newquay and the surrounding area. Run by Tom, a DBS-checked and Canine First Aid certified dog care specialist, the business caters to dog owners seeking reliable daily exercise, daytime check-ins, or overnight care for their pets.

The service is particularly suited to owners who work full-time and need their dogs exercised during business hours, as well as those with puppies, elderly dogs, small breeds, or dogs with socialisation challenges. Tom's background growing up with multiple dogs, combined with his career change from catering, demonstrates genuine passion for animal welfare rather than opportunistic business entry.

What sets Happy Hounds apart is the personalised approach. Every client receives a free introductory meeting before services commence, allowing Tom to build rapport with both owner and dog. His methodology includes a careful five-walk on-lead introduction period, only progressing to off-lead walking once recall is established and owners have given permission. This demonstrates commitment to safety and individual dog needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

The business operates with appropriate credentials—DBS clearance, Canine First Aid certification, and Pet Business Insurance—providing peace of mind for clients. Pack walks are kept intentionally small at a maximum of six dogs, ensuring quality attention and exercise. Whether owners need a quick garden visit, an afternoon walk, or overnight pet sitting while travelling, Happy Hounds provides flexible, trustworthy care.
