What a fabulous weekend campers and fun day-ers had in Essex at Camp Basset. There were games, catch the sausage, apple bobbing, races, very mini morning waddles, so much food, raffles, dress up, friendships made, chatter, bitey face, and a few little grumbles! It really was amazing, and we are so v...

Look at Pippa enjoying her holidays in the Cotswolds. 🙂
Thanks to another client who had a stroller no longer in use, a quick phone call and collection arranged shortly after.
This meant that her owners didn't have to worry about her keeping up on her little legs while they were sightseeing. She could also hop in when it was too hot. I think it's safe to say she is very happy with her new mode of transport!

Absolutely!

Our Story

R V Hounds came about when our rescue bassethound Boris was referred for hydrotherapy sessions following his diagnosis of hip dysplasia. At the time I was a voluntary dog-walker for the RSPCA but it quickly became apparent that I would need extra funding to help pay for Boris’ treatment as the insurance alone would not cover the cost.

So I decided to offer a dog-walking service to other pet owners, who like ourselves, often found it difficult to find someone to care for our dogs if we were on holiday or wanted to go out for the day.

I quickly established a small regular client base, most people work during the week and wanted their dog exercised while they were out, so I collect their dog from their home, take them for their walk and then return them after. Other clients just want cover for holidays and return each year. Some time after, I was able to purchase a van that I was able to equip with crates and a cooling fan.

Both Boris and our other bassethound Henrie have since passed away, but I love dog-walking and so will continue my business in both their memories as long as people want me to care for their pets. Hank is the latest bassethound member of our household and will sometimes accompany me.
