Hound Accommodation
We’ve been caring for greyhounds in our home for over five years, ever since our first hound, Paulie, came into our lives and showed us just how incredible these dogs truly are.
Our home is located on a peaceful rural property just minutes from East Maitland.
We have three secure, fully fenced runs where the hounds can stretch out, relax, and enjoy a few joyful zoomies.
Secure fencing and locked gates for added security, and the hounds are closely supervised during outside and inside time.
Only one hound is allowed in a run at a time to prevent overstimulation or overly enthusiastic group chases.
Inside, the hounds are family. They sleep with us and can choose from a variety of comfortable resting spots, five lounges or even human beds, with or without a human to snuggle beside.
All bedding, including mattress protectors, sheets and blankets, are washed multiple times a week.
The outdoor areas are thoroughly disinfected and cleaned daily.
Our home is fully air-conditioned for their comfort, and whether they feel like playing all day or simply lounging and snoozing in peace, the choice is entirely theirs.
We’re experienced in caring for all greyhounds!
Those with anxiety, nervous temperament, special medical needs, or simply those in their golden years who prefer to do their own thing.
Nothing surprises us, we’ve seen it all and lovingly adapted to each hound’s unique personality and requirements.
If you have any questions or specific needs you’d like to discuss, just send us an email, we’re always happy to help.

What Pawrents say:
We’ve been using Fatima at the hound hotel for the last three years. She always takes wonderful care of our greyhound Frida, who is always excited to see Fatima and the other hounds. It means we can travel for work out of town, or take a holiday without worrying - we trust Fatima completely.
Jeremy Capodicasa
Our grey girl loooves Fatima and The hound hotel. Fatima has looked after her for shorter stays as well as for weeks at the time when we were travelling and we were absolutely confident our grey would be in capable hands.
Fatima has years of experience and knowledge in looking after greyhounds, knows their behaviour and how to act when something is not quite right. The level of care and affection are unmatched in other places. We have recommended her to all our greyhound friends.

We have nothing but positive things to say about The Hound Hotel!
As the owner/mum of one shy and anxious hound and one stubborn and sometimes temperamental hound, it's not easy to find a dog sitter! Fatima at the Hound Hotel is just amazing, she gives the dogs personalised love and care depending on their personalities and truly cares about them.
We can finally go on holiday without worrying as she goes the extra mile to make them feel safe and happy. She has helped us so much with her knowledge of greyhounds and we are so lucky to have The Hound Hotel for our dogs. You will not find a more dedicated and caring dog sitter, all the weird and wonderful quirks of greyhounds are celebrated here.
