Hound Accommodation
We have been caring for greyhounds in our home for many years, ever since our first hound, Paulie, came into our lives and showed us just how special these dogs truly are.
That experience sparked a lifelong commitment to providing greyhounds with the care, understanding, and the environment they deserve.
​
Our home is located on a peaceful rural property just minutes from East Maitland, offering a quiet and relaxed setting away from the noise and stress of traditional boarding facilities.
​
We have three secure, fully fenced outdoor runs where the hounds can stretch out, relax and enjoy zoomies.
For safety and wellbeing, the property is fully fenced with locked gates, and all outdoor and indoor time is closely supervised. To prevent overstimulation or enthusiastic group chasing, only one greyhound is permitted in a run at any time.
Inside our home, greyhounds are treated as family. They sleep with us and can choose from a variety of comfortable beds, including multiple lounges or human beds, with or without a human companion to snuggle beside.
​
Hygiene and comfort are a priority. All bedding, including mattress protectors, sheets, and blankets are washed several times each week, outdoor areas are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected daily.
Our home is fully air-conditioned to ensure year-round comfort. Whether a greyhound prefers an active day with playtime or a quiet day spent lounging and snoozing, they are free to follow their own relaxed routine.
We are experienced in caring for greyhounds of all ages, temperaments, and needs.
​
This includes greyhounds who experience anxiety or nervousness, those with medical or mobility requirements, and seniors who prefer a quieter, more independent routine.
We understand that every hound is unique, and we take the time to adapt our care to suit each individual personality and comfort level.
Very little surprises us.
With years of hands-on experience, we approach every situation with patience, understanding, and compassion.
If you have any questions or specific requirements you would like to discuss, please feel free to contact us by email. We are always happy to help and ensure your greyhound’s stay is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

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.
