The Hounds of Fun is a fully licensed pet care provider established in 2014, serving Southampton pet owners who need reliable support managing their animals' daily care. The business specialises in comprehensive dog and cat services, including dog walking, day care, home boarding, and comfort stops for cats whilst owners are away.
What sets The Hounds of Fun apart is the hands-on expertise and genuine animal passion of Jackie, the owner. With a lifetime of experience working with diverse animals—from dogs and cats to gerbils, rabbits, sheep, cows and ponies—Jackie brings professional knowledge to every service. Her commitment extends beyond commercial operations; she actively volunteers in dog rescue as an assessor, home checker and foster carer, demonstrating a deep dedication to animal welfare. All her own pets are rescued animals, reflecting her philosophy of providing loving, safe homes.

The tagline "the small company with the BIG welcome" captures their approachable yet capable service model, designed to ease pressures on today's busy pet owners.
