About

I provide dog walking mostly in hour slots, but am always happy to meet customer needs for shorter or longer walks where required.
I also undertake home visits for young pups and cat feeding.
I love taking the dogs to different places where it's safe to let them off lead and let them run and play.

I really wanted to write a review about Happy hounds and Most of all Nikki, i was having some bad feed back in regards to my dog being hard work and problems which they suggested that my dog may get bitten by other dogs as he jumps on them etc. Nothing aggressive or dangerous but obviously not a easy to manage dog. I was told intensive training was required,  but couldnt see how this would help a young puppy with other dogs ? As the training is more for human interaction.  I approached Nikki and she took him on with no problems at all . Since then he has been amazing under her guidance and she hasnt had any issue with his behaviour and she is so experienced and put me at ease and said ,  just let the dogs do what dogs do .
And now watching her videos and photos you can see he is a very sociable dog and watching her group of all different sizes playing and my dog so happy has , im gonna say it made my so proud,  as i feel like i had a naughty child that's found the right teacher thats totally changed his world and life.
I wanted to say how wonderfully beautiful she is inside and out and me and Reggie thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your loving care, professionalism and passion .

Its a im so glad we found you moment your a Legend.

We absolutely love Nikki and our dog Ollie does too. Nikki has been a massive help to us as we navigate our journey as new dog owners and we really value her advice. Ollie absolutely loves his Nikki walks and will always leap off the sofa when he hears her! More...

Reggie loves his group walks, probably the only time where his happy not playing fetch! Nikki is super accommodating around shift work and is happy for last minute add ons if she has space

I think my dogs are actually depressed when I take them out as they just have such fun with Nikki! On the times I’m at home when she comes to get them, they are beside themselves with excitement. Could not do without Nikki at Happyhounds. More...

My boys love going out with the Happy Hound Crew. Mine are big dogs but Nikki totally in charge. They have a great time playing and running. Always exhausted on return and I love seeing the videos and pictures of the crew out and about More...

Our little dog, Penny is a different dog since joining Nikki and her happy hounds for walks. Her confidence and social skills have developed so much and she absolutely loves going on her walks. She goes crazy when she hears or sees the van arrive, and we love watching the videos of her having a blast on social media.

Nikki is super friendly, confident and knowledgeable with the dogs and makes it super easy.

We’d be lost without her as penny absolutely loves going out with her and the happy hounds.

I can’t recommend her enough.

Ozzy loves his weekly walk! Nikki is amazing and takes care of all the dogs like they are her own. Ozzy sees her as his second mum - and really enjoys running around with the other dogs (who are usually a similar size to him!)

So happy that we found Happy Hounds Walks. Millie absolutely loves her group walks, she literally cries with excitement when Nikki arrives to collect her and comes back tired and ready to snooze for the rest of the day. Nikki is super reliable and has even accommodated us with last minute changes/additions to walks which we are very grateful for.
We also love that we get to see pics/videos of her on Instagram and look forward to her updates every day. We would 100% recommend Happy Hound Walks. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Would recommend happy hounds hands down so pleased we found them to calm our very over active puppy into a playful teenager. It has proven how important it is to socialise dogs of all ages and sizes and how they all get on with each other. More...

Dog Walking

Having to find a new dog walker at the start of the year we were a little anxious but from the moment we (and Toby 🐶 ) met Nikki we had nothing to worry about- she bonded with him straight away, read his cheeky personality, understood his love for chicken! We know Toby is treated as if he was her own. He comes back tired and happy after having fun (photos of happy faces and tongues galore are seen weekly) and he’s at the door ready, raring and excited when he sees the van pull ups 😀 More...

Dog Walking

Nikki is absolutely wonderful and our dog loves her and the adventures he goes on with her.

I was a bit nervous about letting our dog go out without us, but Nikki completely put my mind at rest and sends me pictures and feedback on how he gets on, whilst they are out.

He always comes back, having had a great time, ready for a good nap.

Nikki is responsible, reliable and we feel very fortunate that we found her. If you are looking for first class walks and fun for your furry friends, look no further!

Nicky saved my life as unfortunately my regular sitter let me down. I was delighted with the service I received from bark. com and my dog sitter Nicky. She took care of my cocker spaniel like she had known him for ever. He had a lovely time with her and now I am back misses her lovely walks. I can not recommend this service enough. So professional and friendly. More...

Nikki has been amazing with our labrador, Cheddar. He eagerly awaits her arrival and is always worn out once he returns. Nikki is extremely reliable and I would never hesitate to recommend Happy Hounds to other doggy owners. More...

Always get such a fantastic service. She treats my dogs like her own. They love their walks with Nikki

29 October 2019

We really love our walks with Nikki and Happy Hounds - we are always sad when they are over and can't wait for the next time. She's full of energy for long walks and play time and very patient with my little pug brother Ted who is a reluctant walker and my sister Dolly who is sometimes a bit naughty. She was very kind when I was having trouble with my hip recently. We love Nikki!! More...

Nikki has been walking my dogs for roughly 3 years. During this time she has provided an OUTSTANDING service.
She is caring, attentive with my dogs and has kept me well informed about any issues that she might have noticed or observed during her walk with them. She is extremely reliable and has rarely, if ever, had to cancel a walk due to unforeseeable circumstances.
Many times Nikki goes beyond her standard service and has helped to feed my dogs after walks or even kept them out for a second walk- free of charge. She cleans them well after a walk and also provides water for them during a walk which is incredibly considerate as not all dog walkers would appreciate either of these small gestures.
The extra service she provides of looking after your dogs in her home when you are away has also been outstanding. Nikki always insists on noting every detail of how you care for your dog before she takes them to stay and replicates this kind of care to the best of her ability. It is wonderful to go away and know your beloved animals are being well looked after.

I cannot recommend Happy Hounds enough and always tell anyone I meet with a dog to take their details. My dogs and I have just been so happy with the wonderful service and friendship we have developed with Nikki that I could not think of ever going anywhere else for my dog care needs.

Q&As

Easy.. the dogs and the walking. Come rain or shine.

Quite simply my own dog Deefa! Seeing how much fun ahe had when playing with pup friends.

I always look after the pups in the way I would want my dog looked after. That is my golden rule in so far as their safety, their fun factor and cleanliness on going home!
