What we believe in
We believe that dogs are part of the family and flourish in a home environment. They thrive on company, cuddles, mental stimulation and, of course, plenty of opportunities to nap in a comfy armchair… Whether you entrust your dog to us for a walk, a day or a week you can rest assured that at House of Dog your furry friend will be treated just like you treat them.
family first
Where we go, they go, whether it's a meeting or a BBQ. We've even been known to take our regulars on holiday.
be more dog
We believe we learn as much from our dogs as they do from us. They live in the moment. And so should we!
earth friendly
We champion sustainability, walk locally and travel on foot wherever possible. We use compostable poo bags & a wormery.
give back
A percentage of our profits goes to the Wild at Heart Foundation which finds forever homes for stray dogs from around the world.
About Us
House of Dog was born when company founder Steph lost her beloved Patterdale terrier Rhubarb. She missed doggy company so much that she started befriending other people’s dogs in the park. Soon she was being asked to look after them when their owners couldn’t. And sometimes even when they could. Her house has been full of four-legged friends ever since, and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
​
Steph lives with her family and canine companions right by the doggy heaven of Little Wormwood Scrubs. She has always had a special dog in her life…
