Meet Scarlett and the heart behind Happy Hounds
My journey with Happy Hounds
I'm Scarlett, 22 years old, and dogs are my absolute passion. I truly believe every dog deserves access to a fun, fulfilling, and enriching walk. My journey into dog walking began at just 10 years old when I started walking my neighbours dogs! Fast forward a few years I got a job at Rachel's Dog Club, where I gained expert knowledge and invaluable experience. Rachel supported me from the very start, empowering me to launch Scarlett's Happy Hounds!
I specialise in and have extensive experience walking and visiting dogs who may be nervous, reactive, injured, or simply prefer to be walked alone. I also care for clients with multiple dogs from the same household who enjoy walking as their own little pack. I offer a safe, no-judgement zone for clients and their dogs because I believe no dog could ever be "broken" – only misunderstood.
Specialised care for every unique paw
I understand that owning a dog who may struggle more than others can be difficult, and sometimes even the simplest walk can feel overwhelming. Whether your dog is nervous, reactive, easily overstimulated, or simply finds the outside world a little too much, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to understand them.
As a solo dog walker, I offer calm, one-to-one walks tailored completely around your dog’s individual needs. I specialise in supporting nervous and reactive dogs, taking the time to build trust at their own pace rather than expecting them to fit into a ‘one size fits all’ approach.
My promise: safety, happiness, and understanding
My aim is to make walks a positive experience for both you and your dog. I understand that every dog has different triggers, boundaries, and comfort levels, and I will always prioritise their well-being, safety, and happiness. There is no pressure, no judgement, and no expectation for your dog to be ‘perfect’ — just patience, understanding, and plenty of encouragement.
My goal for every dog I walk is simple: for them to feel safe, happy, and understood. I believe every dog deserves to enjoy their time outside in a way that works for them. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, needs, and boundaries, adapting every walk around what makes them feel comfortable and fulfilled.
