Dog groomer, walker & boarder in Kirkburton

If you live in Kirkburton, you’re about 4 miles west of Clayton West, where I groom, board and walk dogs.

A village and civil parish about 5 miles south-east of Huddersfield, named after its 1190 church. That puts Kirkburton within easy reach of my grooming, walking and home boarding. Hounds of Love is a small, personal service: Nanette grooms in her own garden studio, walks dogs in the countryside around Clayton West and looks after boarders at home. It’s all done by one person, so your dog is the one getting the attention.
