About Houndly
Passionate about dogs. Committed to care.
Based in Chiddingfold and the Surrey Hills, we provide professional, home-from-home care for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities.
Born from a love of dogs and the countryside.
At Houndly, dogs aren’t just part of what we do — they’re part of who we are.
Founded in beautiful Chiddingfold, Surrey, Houndly was created from a simple belief: that every dog deserves exceptional care, love, and attention when their owners can’t be there.
We know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your best friend — because we’ve been there too with our own dogs. We are Hungarian Vizsla specialists, having been part of our family for 13 years. We now have 1 female Vizsla aged 4, Myla, after losing our beloved Molly aged 12.
After more than 20 years in the corporate world (and a lifetime surrounded by dogs), I decided it was time to turn passion into purpose. With professional care, full licensing, and a deep understanding of canine welfare, Houndly was born — a local service built on reliability, warmth, and genuine love for dogs.
From early-morning walks to cosy overnight stays, Houndly gives every dog the same care and comfort we give our own dogs and that they’d get at home — giving you complete peace of mind.
Our Values
🐾 Care
Every dog is an individual, and we adapt every walk and routine to suit their personality.
🕰️ Reliability
We’re punctual, consistent, and transparent — the same familiar faces your dog learns to love.
🌳 Adventure
Surrey’s landscapes are our playground. From woodlands to meadows, we make every walk a mini-adventure.
❤️ Trust
Fully licensed, insured, and DBS checked — we treat your home and dog as if they were our own.
Meet Andy
I’ve spent years living and walking in the Surrey Hills with my own dogs and understand how much peace of mind matters when someone else takes the lead — literally.
Houndly was born out of that same care and responsibility I’d expect for my own pets.
Professional, Licensed, and Local.
We’re fully insured, DBS checked, and licensed by Waverley Borough Council for home boarding and day care. Our priority is always the welfare, safety, and happiness of every dog in our care.
