“Sociable Hounds is the best thing I ever did for my toy poodle. I know he is so well looked after and he has the BEST time. He loves his Sociable Hounds days!”

“Our precious boy Teddy has been going to Sociable Hounds a couple of times a week since he was 16 weeks old. He has just turned 4 and is still the bouncy, excited puppy when the van pulls up at the door. It’s amazing to see all the fun they have on their adventures. Sociable Hounds are so supportive, flexible and kind, and Teddy just absolutely loves going. We don’t know what we would do without them! We cannot recommend them enough. Thank you!”

“Sociable Hounds provide Nonny with a safe and stimulating day while we are out at work. They collect her, care for her and wash her. It is also reassuring to receive regular photographs of our dog having fun during the day. There is no better compliment to their service than the excitement Nonny shows when she sees Rachael approaching our front door!”

“I couldn’t recommend Sociable Hounds enough, our dog Otis has the best time and comes back such a happy (and tired!) boy. Claire and the team are always so accommodating and take great care of the dogs. All the pictures and videos shared of the daily outings are also a highlight! Thank you Sociable Hounds for making Otis’ day!”

“I absolutely love my walks with Sociable Hounds - I run to the door when they arrive and always come home feeling tired and happy after seeing all my pals (human and hound)! I couldn’t recommend them more!”

“We are so glad that we found Sociable Hounds for Winnie. Every Friday she happily runs out the door when she gets picked up for her afternoon walk and seems to have made lots of fur friends in the group too! The Sociable Hounds team are more than lovely, always very chatty and trustworthy. They always send updates of the walk with pictures of the pups which is always great to see. Winnie always comes back knackered and ready for a big long sleep (which is fantastic!). We will be with Sociable Hounds for as long as they’ll have Winnie!”

“Our cocker spaniel Ashe loves her time spent walking with Claire and the team. Ashe joined our family during lockdown and genuinely looks forward to meeting up with her friends each week. We’re always impressed with the variety of places the dogs visit, there’s never a chance they’ll get bored. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!”

“We feel super lucky to have found Sociable Hounds! Ruby loves her walks and sits waiting at the door in the morning when she knows she’s going out with her friends. She was timid and not very sociable with other dogs but Sociable Hounds have worked wonders with her - Ruby now loves meeting other dogs and confidently plays with them, which is so lovely to see. She really has become a Sociable Hound!! She comes home happy from her walks which is clear when she zooms through the door barking! Everyone at Sociable Hounds is so friendly, and it is clear to see how much they all love dogs. We wouldn’t trust anyone else to take our fur baby out! Thank you all so much for everything you do and for taking such good care of Ruby.”

“My dog Stella has been going exercising with Claire and her team for over two years now. She leaves the house pulling to get into the Sociable Hounds van and comes home tired and happy. The team are completely dependable and you can tell they love their job looking after all the pups. I know that Stella is safe and having fun when she is out with Sociable Hounds.”

“Cooper has been going with Sociable Hounds since he was just over 5 months old and he absolutely loves his time with the team! Every one of the team are so helpful and lovely and as a dog owner, there is nothing better than knowing your dog is going out with people who love them as much as you, and they are safe and having the best time! Cooper loves his days with Sociable Hounds and the adventures and exploring he does with his group. As soon as they arrive, he is so excited! Cooper has also done some boarding with the team, and he’s always so well looked after with regular updates! Claire is always so helpful, responsive and flexible and Cooper and I couldn’t recommend Sociable Hounds enough!”

“We couldn’t recommend Sociable Hounds more. Our dog Meg has been going now for nearly 4 years. She whimpers with delight when she realises it is her dog walker at the door. Sociable Hounds is so well led by Claire, she is very flexible and along with all the team have a genuine passion for what they do. The service is excellent, pick up and drop back, even give Meg her tea on the odd occasion we are not there. Meg is always exhausted also which demonstrates how much exercise, play and fun she has. Thank you Sociable Hounds.”

“Clare and her team are excellent; very professional and reliable and also flexible and accommodating. They have been walking Dougal twice weekly for nearly a year now, ever since he was four months old. Initially I was keen that he went out with other dogs to socialise and that has been hugely successful. Dougal is always waiting excitedly at his vantage point in the window watching for them. Olga always gets a great welcome and Dougal trots off very happily. His walks are very varied and he loves playing with the other dogs. I have total trust in Sociable Hounds - and they’re great value for money too.”

“Our dog Lola has been walking with Claire and the sociable hounds team since the beginning and we wouldn’t consider using anyone else. She waits excitedly by the door in the mornings for pickup and comes home happy and tired - the exposure she gets to dogs of all sizes as well as the training from the team on their walks has really proven invaluable, and we love the photo updates on the social media pages and the variety of locations they’re taken to! It’s safe to say she clearly has the time of her life on every walk.
We trust Claire and her team implicitly with the safety and care of Lola - thank you!!”

“Bonnie has been with Claire and her walkers for nearly a year. She can be quite nervous about going with others for walks but quickly became so comfortable going on her days with Sociable Hounds, she waits by the door to be picked up! I love seeing pictures of her days out and she comes home so happy and tired.
Claire and her team are brilliant and it gives me such peace of mind that Bonnie is well looked after.”
