Having initially gone into the pet care business in 2000, Safe & Hound in its present form came about in 2003 after moving from Maidenhead to Lincolnshire and finding that there was a call for our services wherever you are and this now makes us the oldest established pet care business in the area. We are now looking to expand both locally and across the UK and find like-minded people and families to provide our professional caring services for all your pets.
Proprietors
Proprietors Sharon & Gareth have been running Safe & Hound for over 10 years. and between us we have over 50 years of experience of animal welfare and have owned a whole array of animals including Horses, dogs and cats. At the moment we have a horse called Oliver who is now 28 and a Patterdale Terrier called Nobby who is 5. He loves agility which he does every Saturday and of course walking with all the other dogs. We also have a large number of fish that take a lot of looking after. We started the business in 2000 and it has grown from strength to strength and we are looking forward to the next 10 years.
