“Fantastic experience! Mel was very friendly and easy to communicate with and my dog had a great time. I felt very confident and comfortable with them caring for her. I would recommend it every time!”

“House of Hounds is the best! My golden retrievers,Lenny and Loki, absolutely love it there. The open concept daycare is safe, fun and full of love. The owner truly cares for every dog like family, and even overnight stays are kennel-free and cozy. I have total peace of mind knowing my babies are well cared for.”

“Joey is an extremely fearful rescue dog, and our previous kennel experiences were not positive: she was always anxious and unhappy when we picked her up. That changed when we found House of Hounds Retreat.
Mel is patient and clearly understands nervous dogs. The daily pictures showed us that Joey felt safe and at home. We started with doggie day care and later trusted Mel with dog boarding for 10 days. Even though there are kennels closer to home, we gladly drive out of our way to Aylesford because the care is worth it.”

“I can’t say enough great things about House of Hounds! From the moment I walked through the door, I knew Enzo was in the best hands possible. They take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs, and they always provide personalized updates and adorable photos. It gives me total peace of mind knowing my furry best friend is safe, loved, and having a great time.”

“House of Hounds is THE place to take your furry loved one! Whether it is a day visit or for longer stays, this is the best care you will find. Stewie gets so excited when we arrive in the driveway, it makes us feel at ease knowing he is happy and well-cared for when he stays with Mel & Melissa.”

“House of hounds did a great job watching my dog for a week. She is very shy around strangers and within a day was snuggled up to Melissa’s family. I was sent constant photos and had no reservations about leaving Scarlett there.”
