hello, I’m Nanette

I’m Nanette, and I’m a dog-o-holic

Hounds of Love started in 2018, walking dogs and looking after the odd boarder while I worked as a teaching assistant. Now it’s my full-time job, and I absolutely love it.

These days I have a purpose-built grooming studio in my garden in Clayton West, so I can offer the full package: walks in the countryside, a wash and a pamper, or a stay at mine while you’re away. Whichever it is, your dog gets the same affection, care and treatment as my own dog would.

I’m City & Guilds qualified up to level 3 in dog grooming, and my home boarding and day care is 5-star rated with Kirklees.

If you see my little dog van out and about, give me a wave!

And yes, the name is a nod to the Kate Bush song. Hounds of Love is a corking song. (Not affiliated, just a fan of the track.)

me and my van!
