Happy Houndz was created for one simple reason:
dogs deserve better than “average care.”

We’re not a big franchise, an app, or a conveyor belt of dogs. We’re a small, local, independently run dog care service based in Dereham, Norfolk, built around real understanding of dogs as individuals, not numbers on a rota.

Dogs are part of the family. We genuinely believe that. And everything we do is shaped by that belief, thats why we become… ““Your dog’s extended family.”

How Happy Houndz Started

Happy Houndz grew from years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs, from energetic adventurers to gentle seniors who simply want comfort, routine, and company.

Over time, one thing became very clear:
Many dogs weren’t lacking exercise, they were lacking enrichment, understanding, and meaningful interaction.

That’s where Happy Houndz is different.

Our Approach

We focus on quality over quantity, and understanding over rushing.

Whether it’s walking, sitting, or home visits, we take time to:

• Get to know your dog, not just their name

• Understand what makes them confident, calm, or unsure

• Tailor care to suit their age, energy level, and personality

Some dogs love adventure.
Some dogs love routine.
Some dogs just love company.

All of them deserve care thats tailored to fit them.

Trust Matters

Inviting someone to care for your dog and your home, is a big deal. We don’t take that lightly.

We pride ourselves on being:

• Reliable – you can count on us to show up and follow your routine

• Honest – clear communication, no overpromising

• Calm and confident – dogs respond best to consistency and reassurance

• Respectful – of your home, your dog, and your trust

We treat every dog as if they were our own, and every home with care and respect.

More Than a Service

Happy Houndz isn’t about ticking boxes or squeezing in as many visits as possible.
It’s about creating good days for dogs, days that are balanced, calm, enriching, and positive.

Whether that looks like:

• An adventure-style walk

• A relaxed day of companionship at home

• Gentle care for an older or injured dog

• Or extra reassurance for a puppy

We’re here to support both dogs and their humans.

If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, takes the time to understand your dog, and treats them like family, you’re in the right place.
