Paolo – Romanian Mixed Breed

“We found Tarni after our rescue dog Paolo was overwhelmed on pack walks and needed to change to a solo walk. Tarni was quick to accommodate and built up trust and bond with Paolo almost instantly! As a nervous, reactive dog we didn’t think it would happen so quickly but Tarni must have the magic touch! Tarni is trustworthy and reliable and we would recommend.” – Rachel & Chris

Cindy – Cavachon

“Tarni is a very pleasant responsible, trustworthy young lady who obviously has a great love of dogs. Cindy, my little Cavachon, whom she walks 3 times a week loves her, getting so excited when she arrives, trotting off with her with no backward glance, returning an hour later fully contented, having had a very enjoyable walk, to have a good sleep. I have no hesitation in recommending her whatsoever. I sincerely thank you for making Cindy a very contented little dog, we are both most grateful.” – Pam

Harley – Labrador

“We are absolutely thrilled with Tarni. From the start we felt our labrador would be safe with her and that she always had Harley as a priority. We couldn’t recommend her more highly” – Zoe & Chris

Reggie – Labradoodle

“Huge shoutout to Helping Hounds! Tarni and Ben have been absolutely amazing with my dog Reggie. He’s been having twice-weekly walks with them for the past 5 months, I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention they give him. He always comes back happy, well-exercised, he clearly loves his time with them.

Recently, they also looked after Reggie for 7 nights while I was away, they honestly went above and beyond. I got regular updates and photos which really put my mind at ease — it was so lovely to see him relaxed, happy, and clearly being well looked after.

Reggie absolutely adores them and it’s such a comfort knowing he’s in such safe and caring hands. Tarni and Ben are kind, trustworthy, reliable and clearly passionate about what they do. I can’t recommend Helping Hounds enough. Thank you both for everything you do for Reggie!” – Matt & Lucy

Freddie – Goldendoodle

“We have been using Tarni for a few months now and would definitely recommend her to other dog owners! You can tell from the updates she provides that Freddie loves his walks with Tarni – especially when he is on group walks and is able to socialise with other dogs. Tarni is very professional and walks are always easy to book – a quick WhatsApp to confirm availability – which is great for us as we’re always juggling dog care with a busy work schedule!” – Sophie & Kyle

Molly – Labrador

“Molly absolutely loves her walks with Helping Hounds, she had been nervous with previous dog walkers but Tarni took her time with her starting with solo walks and we have now progressed to group walks.

Communication is great, and the photos and videos are a great way to see how happy Molly is with her new furry friends – 100% recommend to anyone looking for a dog walking service” – Hayley

Seba & Ixi – Savannahs

“Tarni from Helping Hounds is incredible! I’ve used her services a couple of times now to help with cat feeding whilst I’ve been away, and l’ve received 5 star care every time.

Tarni is so passionate about animals and it really shows through her services. It’s clear my cats Seba and Ixi absolutely adored her from the first visit, and she even stayed extra time with them so they had all the attention and affection they would usually get.

Helping Hounds is a 100% reliable, trustworthy and truly pet-passionate business. I also love the fact that they donate a portion of their profits to animal rescues!! I am so grateful to have discovered Tarni, and will only her services when I go away!” – Jodi

Arlo & Aria – Domestics

“Tarni is amazing at what she does. Your pets are her top priority and caring for them just as you would.

She gave me updates/photos on how they were whilst I was away. 100% recommend Helping Hounds” – Jemma

Ruby, Mitzi & Nimbus – Labradoodles and Labrador

“Our 3 dogs thoroughly enjoyed their time with Tarni whilst we enjoyed our holiday. Tarni looked after the house and the dogs and provided us with daily updates and photos.

Tarni is extremely reliable, trustworthy and you can see that she has a genuine connection with animals in her care. We have no hesitation in recommending Helping Hounds to anyone seeking a professional and caring dog sitter. Thank you Tarni for giving us complete piece of mind whilst we were away.” – Tracy & Paul

Cooper – Labrador

“Great service! Cooper absolutely loves his walks! Thank you so much” – Peter & Lou

Ziggy – Sprocker Spaniel

“Ziggy loves his time with Etana and we’ve loved having the help when our schedules clash and we need someone to check in on the pup! We also love the pictures we get sent of his time on his walks. It helps with the dog-mum guilt! Highly recommend. Five stars” – Ellie & Deena

Nelly – Springer Spaniel

“Our dog Nelly loves going out for walks with Tarni and her doggy friends. Very flexible and clearly loves the dogs. Would highly recommend and very glad we found her” – Sarah

Eden – Cockapoo

“We’ve been using Helping Hounds since May 2024 and can highly recommend Etana. My puppy loves her and looks forward to her weekly walk. She’s also house sat for our puppy when we’ve been away and it was great to receive regular photos and updates and know she was in safe hands.” – Katharine & Brad

Simba & Daisy – French bulldogs

“Friendly and professional. Flexible and very responsive. My best dog walker I had, dogs are happy and looked after and I get updates from each walk! Can’t recommend enough.” – Iwona

Ted – Schnoodle (Miniature Schnauzer x Toy Poodle)

“We have been using Helping Hounds since November 2024. Ted loves going out with Etana and his doggy friends. He is always so excited to go for a walk! They are so flexible which is great.” – Emily

Lima – French bulldog

“We are so happy we found Tarni and her company. Our doggy was not confident at all at the beginning and Tarni very patiently and caringly worked her way through to her, and now she can’t wait to see her coming through the door! I would recommend her 100%! On top of that, she’s super flexible!” – Marina & Sam

Fendi – Maltipoo

“Tarni and Ben looked after Fendi so well when we were on holiday recently that she was angry with me for at least 48 hours after I got home – clearly disappointed that her magical time of snuggles, attention and meeting new dog friends on group walks was over and that boring mum was home!! Booking process was simple and well managed with meet and walk etc beforehand and I would not have known anyone had been in the house as it was left so neat and tidy. Thanks Helping Hounds!” Miranda

Poppy – Domestic Longhair

“Sam spent two weeks in our home looking after our little cat. We had lots of pictures and videos, the house was like a new pin when we arrived back, and Poppy was clearly really happy and content. We are so grateful and would love to have Helping Hounds sit again. Thank you so much.” – Anna
