About Hound & Venture
Hound & Venture is Portsmouth's premier dog walking service, founded by pet-loving Bobbi Dawkins, that's me in the pic. With years of experience, I provide dog walking, pet-sitting, and personalised care.
Motivated by a love for animals, I established Hound & Venture to ensure dogs lead happy, healthy lives, and their owners enjoy peace of mind.
My aim is to deliver a reliable and trustworthy pet service in the local community. I pride myself in providing a lifestyle that suits both you and your dog, putting your mind at ease whilst your pooch lives their best life.
Offering basic positive training and regular interactions with other dogs, your dog will grow to be confident, relaxed and balanced, resulting in a much happier dog.
