OUR STORY - OUR PASSION

Discover what inspired us to create a loving and secure environment for your furry family members, right here in Launceston.

Our journey to Howell Hound Haven

After many years of dealing with health challenges that prevented me from a traditional job, I found my calling through MadPaws. The response was immediate, with bookings flooding in daily. This overwhelming demand, combined with a lifelong love for dogs, inspired me to launch Howell Hound Haven.

Having cared for dogs my entire life, my goal is to provide a truly relaxed, home-like environment for every dog. Our haven boasts a huge backyard for play, ample couch space for snuggles, and even room on the bed for all our furry guests.

What makes us unique in Launceston

At Howell Hound Haven, we pride ourselves on offering a dog sitting service that truly stands out, right here in Launceston. We believe in giving dogs the freedom to simply be themselves. 

We’re also here to help you with the basics of puppy training. Whether it’s toilet training or learning to use the doggie door, our simple and effective techniques will set you up for success. Get your puppy on the right track with minimal fuss and lots of love!

We have carefully chosen experienced dog sitters of varying ages and availability to be on our team, ensuring we can cater to the individual needs and personalities of each dog, and their owners, providing truly personalised care.

Love, snuggles, and happy hounds

The most important thing we want dog owners to know is that their fur babies will receive an abundance of love and snuggles in a calm, clean environment. From joyful romps in our large backyard, playing tug with Titus, to snuggling up on the couch for some Netflix and chill time – every moment is designed for their happiness.

All dogs undergo an assessment during the meet and greet to determine the best staff member fit for their individual needs, ensuring they feel right at home with us.

"Best sitter we've ever had! Our 7yo Dalmation absolutely loved Marteena. We will absolutely book her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone else" K.J. - MadPaws
