Hi Lauren,

We just wanted to say thank you for looking after Oscar for us while we were away, it was wonderful knowing he was having a great time on his holiday aswell, he has come home a very happy dog indeed. I have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone thinking of using your services you put the care of dogs first and foremost and it shows. Thanks again we will see you again I'm sure

Best regards


Barry


I have used houndsatourhome several times now and I don't think I could find anywhere better for my dog, Floyd. He has such a wonderful time with Lauren and the other dogs that stay with her and I know he is in such good hands that I can go away and leave him and have no worries at all. Plenty of love, plenty of play and plenty of company. Perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lauren - I'm quite sure that Floyd would sometimes rather stay with her than come home, he's had such a good time! Well worth the hour's travelling time to get there. 5 star service.

Thank you so much for taking such good care of Baloo whilst we enjoyed a family holiday. In times past we were wary about going away as we did not want to use a conventional kennel service as Baloo is very special to us. We were able to enjoy our holiday so much more as we knew that Baloo was having such a wonderful time with the other dogs and the wide open spaces. Having updates and photos of Baloo having such a wonderful time meant so much. I would quite honestly never send Baloo anywhere else, Lauren, you are quite clearly a dog person and your home was Baloo's home while we were away and I can't praise and recommend your service enough. I will be  sure to book Baloo with you again for our next holiday.

Thank you so much for looking after Murdoch and giving him a lovely time with his new four legged friends.

He has spent most of Wednesday and Thursday sleeping, so obviously worn out with all of his playing, but seems more his lively self this morning...........the quiet Murdoch is quite nice actually.lol Thank you also for the pictures, they were much appreciated.

We tend to holiday about 3 times a year, so as soon as we have any dates I will be in touch, and hopefully Murdoch will see you in the new year

Thank you for taking such good care of Marcus whilst we were on holiday.  As you know this was the very first time we had left Marcus and we were both a little worried about how he would get on with the other dogs, as he can be very boisterous at times.  But your relaxed and confident attitude helped to reassure us, in fact we were a little worried that he wouldn't want to come home!!  Your texts informing us that Marcus had settled in and that there were no problems with him mixing with the other dogs enabled us to relax and enjoy our holiday.  We can now look forward to more holidays, knowing that we have found a great place for Marcus to stay and be part of a family, so thank you again until next time!!

Thank you so much for letting Alfie come for a few hours to see if he would settle before leaving him during our summer holiday . It has always been a problem to leave Alfie as he does not like the noise at kennels and becomes stressed. He was so happy at yours playing with Faith and Tilly and enjoyed the walk over the fields in the sun. What a great alternative to kennels and he will see you soon.

Thank you for looking after Percy whilst we had a few days break. I saw your advert locally and decided to give you a call. We came for a visit with our two children which you did not mind and was so impressed by Tilly who was not fazed at all by Percy  as he can be difficult with other dogs. He didn’t want to leave when we came to pick him up and went running into the garden, he had a brilliant time and looked so well a proper doggy home from home.

Just wanted to say thank you for taking such good care of Dexter, he clearly had a brilliant time with your family including Tilly who was very patient with Dexter.

It certainly did take the anxiety out of our holiday knowing he was going to be with you and in such lovely surroundings, I certainly hope he can come an stay again with you very soon

Thank you so much for making Ghillie a part of your family whilst we were away. She has clearly had a fantastic time and settled immediately with Tilly and the other dogs who were staying. She has come home bright and full of energy rather than the droopy, skinny dog that we have picked up from conventional kennels in the past. The facilities and the access to open countryside that the dogs have is very impressive and your welcome and reassurances whilst we were away were much appreciated. I have already  booked Ghillie in with you for her next holiday!

Thank you so much for looking after Bruno while we were away. He has never been left with strangers before, but your regular text messages ensured we had nothing to worry about. He settled very quickly on his initial visit and loved playing with Tilly and the other dogs. The farm buildings and paddocks proved to be a real home from home and we couldn't have asked for better facilities. We will definitely be booking again.

just want to thank you so much for looking after Lily and Poppy so perfectly. They had such a fabulous time and have come home very happy indeed, although missing Tilly of course, having had he best holiday ever! our beautiful home, with fabulous fun filled surroundings, just makes a perfect alternative for anyone wanting to avoid using kennels. We are incredibly grateful that you happily took our girls into your home and looked after them as if they were your own. We can now   happily look to booking other holidays knowing we have a wonderful second home for the most important family members! Thanks again.

All settled and back to normal now after our two week break. We just want to thank you so very  much for looking after Millie and Socks whilst we were away.

In the past we have always left our dogs with either set of parents but time has marched on and  they feel that they can no longer give the dogs the exercise and energy required so we found  ourselves in unknown territory as kennels were not an option.

Having visited Foxholes Farm I had no doubt whatsoever that your fabulous understanding of dogs and outdoor lifestyle was exactly what we were looking for. Lots of walks,play and company.

As we knew that the dogs would be happy with you it meant that we could really enjoy our holiday without the worry or guilt that I would certainly have had should they have gone to conventional kennels.

You offer a brilliant service Lauren and I hope that you don't get too booked up as  Millie and Socks shall certainly be coming to stay with you again!

"We had booked a few days away in London and weren't happy at the thought of
leaving our Flossy in a typical Kennels for 4 days. Hounds at Our Home
offers a fantastic alternative where your dog can have a relaxing, enjoyable
holiday too. Our Flossy enjoyed the company of other dogs, and the freedom
of supervised walks around the farm. Lauren is really friendly and is
clearly a true animal lover - we even received status updates and photos of
Flossy while we were away which meant we could enjoy ourselves and not have
to worry about the wellbeing of our dog; I think she was having just as much
fun as us! For only a few pounds more than your standard boarding Kennel,
Hounds at Our Home is the clear choice if you love your dog!"
