About Douglas
Hi there! I’m a long-time sighthound enthusiast and former greyhound owner based in Howwood, Renfrewshire. I offer calm, caring dog boarding and day care, all with the specific quirks and comforts of greyhounds, whippets, lurchers, and other sighthounds in mind. Do get in touch if you have another breed though!
I know how special these dogs are – their quiet affection, love of routine, and need for soft spaces to rest those long limbs. My home is quiet, relaxed, and set up to make them feel safe and pampered, with a secure garden for zoomies. There's a nearby park for shorter walks and and countryside trails for longer ones. I work from home (I'm an IT professional), so there will never be a time when your dog is left alone.
Here's what your hound can expect:
🛏️ Sofas and cushioned beds galore
🧣 Blankets and toys (although you can bring their own bedding and toys if you wish)
🥣 Raised feeding bowls for comfort
🐾 Gentle short walks in nearby parks for chill types
🌿 Longer countryside strolls for the more energetic adventurers
Whether your hound is a retired racer, a shy lurcher, or a crazy whippet, I’ll adapt my care to suit their individual temperament and energy levels, and I'll send photos and videos for your peace of mind. Only one household of dogs is booked at a time. If you're looking for someone who really gets sighthounds, I’d love to hear from you!
