Always Greyhounds House and Hound Sitting

Always Greyhounds House and Hound Sitting Experienced and loving care for your greyhound/s in your own home whilst you are away. Fully insured. Hello

I'm Karen Woods and I run Always Greyhounds.

I have lived with and loved dogs all my life and greyhounds for the last 26 years. I lost my last two greyhounds in August 2016 and currently do not have any of my own, which leaves me free to devote my time to visiting greyhounds. I board greyhounds (and sometimes their friends by arrangement) in my detached bungalow in Hertfordshire, about 30 miles from London. There are no stairs for your greyh

ound to negotiate in my bungalow and all floors are carpeted for your greyhound's comfort and safety. All rooms have extra tall pet gates for the security of your greyhound. There are no children or other animals in my home and it is a non-smoking household. The garden is large and securely fenced. Just across the road is a beautiful nature reserve for walks. Always Greyhounds is peaceful and quiet and aims to provide a relaxing and loving environment for your greyhound. You may leave your greyhound with me secure in the knowledge that they are being cared for by someone who is knowledgeable and experienced with the breed and their special needs. Greyhounds are allowed on sofas and beds and may sleep in one of the bedrooms if they wish. Owners are asked to provide sufficient food and treats for their greyhound's stay. Owners may also bring beds and toys, although there are plenty of both available here. Please feel free to message me for further information or to arrange a visit to view my home or discuss your greyhound's particular needs. I look forward to welcoming your greyhound to Always Greyhounds.

A few pictures from my walk with Arlo this afternoon - he knows all of the local walks a lot better than I do though I always have Google maps on my phone to refer to in case he decides to take me on a 10 mile walk! 😄

A few pictures from my morning walk with Arlo. On a new sit it can take a little time to get to know the area and all of the walking routes but today we were very fortunate to meet a lovely man who lives nearby who kindly showed us a slightly different route. It all helps! 🙂

Good morning from Arlo! 🙂

It’s raining here this morning, so we are staying in the dry until it stops!

Good morning from this handsome fellow Arlo! 🙂

I am sitting him for the next week in the Buckinghamshire area and he is doing very well so far.

A nice morning walk for me and Frosty today and on the way home we found a huge bee not looking too well on the pavement. Thankfully I had my bee rescue solution in my bag and after a few drops of this the bee seemed a lot better, so I put him on a nearby buddleia. I cannot recommend these bee rescue solutions enough and there are quite a few companies online who sell these kits now.

After a day of non-stop rain yesterday, it was nice to get out for a sunny and breezy walk this morning 🙂

A lovely walk with Frosty this morning – a few pictures 🙂

A few pictures from my morning walk with young Frosty who likes to choose his own route where possible - thank goodness for Google Maps on my phone! 🙂

A few photos of Frosty today in his back garden 😍

I will be looking after this beautiful galgo again all this week at his house in Hertfordshire. Frosty was found as a stray in Spain very thin and with mange but look at him now living the good life! 😍

This is my last day with this beauty and I have really enjoyed looking after her 💗

MERRY CHRISTMAS from Frosty, the lovely galgo I am looking after at his home in Hertfordshire for Christmas week! Hope you all get some nice presents too! 😍⛄️🎁

Piper enjoying his puppuchino - lots of noisy slurping going on! I had to hold the cup between my knees in order to take the movie! 🙂

Spent the day in the Thetford area yesterday and took my lovely boarder Ruby with me (with her owners permission of course). We enjoyed some lovely walks in the forest; Ruby seemed to find all of the new sights and sounds and especially smells very interesting! I really noticed and loved the clean pure air in the forest. 🌲🍁🌲🍁🌲🍁🌲

My boarder gentle Joe doing his little happy dance before we go out for our walk this morning – he gets very excited to go out for his walks! This was just a tiny bit of it - he was doing zoomies round the kitchen at one point! :)

My boarders Bambi and Claude 💕

My boarders Bambi and Claude 💕 Bambi quite often tries to get Claude to play with her in the garden and this afternoon she was successful for a little while - I think because Claude was feeling a bit frisky after his bath! 🙂

My boarders Hetty and Albus in the garden - such a sweet pair <3

Hetty and Albus mooching in the garden

Hetty and Albus mooching around the garden after their evening meals. Then back inside for treats before settling down for a nice long sleep. These two are so lovely together - very sweet! <3

Solomon and Jasper at the dog park

My very handsome and also talented foster greyhound Solomon showing off his recall at the dog park this morning. :) Although he has a fairly good recall now, he can never be allowed off lead except in an enclosed area.

Solomon (our foster) enjoying himself at the dog park this morning! :)

I am taking a break from the home boarding for the next two weeks and have taken my beautiful foster boy Solomon to the Norfolk Coast for a little break. He’s absolutely fascinated by the sea and just stands and stares at it! Took him for his first walk on the beach this morning and he was an absolute star going down and then up a very long and steep set of steps. I was so proud of him!
