We are based in Chislehurst, Kent and have been dog owners and carers for over 30 years. We are fully insured and qualified in dog first aid.
We take the dogs on wonderful long walks across the beautiful county of Kent. Our walks will be in Country Parks with woods to explore and brooks and ponds to swim in and cool down.
We do not walk other dogs during the day that are not boarding with us, so please be assured that your dog will not be left alone.
A day stay consists of two walks of at least 1 hour, a comfy place to rest during the day and lots of love and attention. If you require any basic training for your dog we are happy to discuss this with you. Your dog will be given a VizslaHouse tag to wear during their stay with us, we also supply your dog with a coat during wet weather months.
A sleepover includes the same benefits of a day stay as well as feeding at your preferred times with your chosen food. You can supply your own food or we can offer a raw feeding package. They can sleep downstairs in a cave bed or a Tuffies™, on the sofas in the living room or a designated bed upstairs!
Nina is our baby. She is beautiful and we all love her. Her nickname is El Niño because she is a like tropical storm with thunder and lightning followed by periods of calm and extended tranquility.
We toyed with the idea of nicknaming her Kermit as she loves to sit halfway up the stairs.
Her favourite TV programme is Peppa Pig but more recently she is showing an interest in Channel 4 News and BBC Question Time.
Henry loves to hunt and chase in the woods with his Vizsla mates when he stays at Vizslahouse. His favourite thing is to show his empty food bowl anticipating afters or maybe even a pigs ear.
He loves watching TV and his favourite programme is The SuperVet. He is a bit of a softie though and hides behind the sofa during the surgery bit.
Nala's two most favourite things are food and tennis balls. She adores long country walks and chilling in the sun in the garden (when she can find some). She is also particularly fond of pigeons but the less said about that, the better.
Her favourite programme is Loose Women. She really loves it when Sally Lindsay is on but she really doesn't like Coleen Nolan.
Eddie is a baby and we get the feeling he may not be called "Little Eddie" for long. He can't be big Eddie as we already have one so we have a dilemma. Watch this space.
Little Eddie loves nothing more than watching the Chase. He prefers the Celebrity version but hides behind the sofa when "The Governess" is doing the chasing!
Darcy is the supermodel of the Vizslaworld with legs that go up to her ears. She's a social butterfly with 6 zillion followers on Instagram and with an IQ of 210 she's not just a pretty face!
She's no fan of daytime TV, but as a style queen, loves clubbing, festivals and fashion.
She is the only member of VH crew to have her own rider which includes fillet steak, sparkling water, fresh clean, white towels and Ed Sheeran music in Dave the Defender on the way back from the woods.
As a working Vizsla, what Oscar lacks in tail he makes up for in heart. He is a big favourite at Vizslahouse. He's recently transitioned to a full raw diet and is now delivering "competition level dog-logs" on a regular basis.
He doesn't watch tv but he has clearly spent too much time with @MrVizslahouse and is now a massive Radiohead fan. His favourite album is somewhat controversially, the 2003 masterpiece "Hail to the Thief"
Nobody messes with Pepper "take you down to Chinatown" Potts. Currently, second in command to ultimate superbitch Ayva, she totally takes no prisoners.
She strikes hard... strikes fast... no mercy.
After a hard day guarding her favourite chair she likes to watch MMA on Sky Sports, Bruce Lee movies, reruns of Nigel Benn fights, and knows every scene in The Karate Kid off by heart.
Wax on, Wax off!
Pepper can jump 3 feet in the air 20 times in a row from a standing start and particularly enjoys sunbathing in the middle of the lawn.
Her favourite TV program is Gardeners World where she got her nickname "Monty".
because she loves a spot of "gardening"
Unfortunately her favourite episode was the one that featured "digging, tunnelling & live heading"
Fifa was named after the Playstation game by her human brothers Micah & Noah. She likes to play with the big boys and what she lacks in size, she makes up for in personality.
She loves watching Gary Lineker on the Sunday morning rerun of Match of the day. The Saturday night one is way past her bedtime so she's started following Gary on Twitter to keep up with all the gossip.
Otto is a German Short Haired Pointer, otherwise known as the thinking mans Vizsla. His bark can be heard on the moon and he can pull an 18 wheeler truck full of concrete (with square wheels) up a hill without breaking a sweat.
Otto likes to relax in his favourite armchair wearing his smoking jacket, cravat and monocle listening to Italian opera while keeping an eye on the latest performance of his hedge funds on his iPad Pro.
Dexter is half English and half Australian.
Known affectionately as Reg Prescott (you may need to Google that one) because he normally has a bandage on something.
He can sit for hours on end staring at a bird in a tree.
He loves watching repeats of Top Gear on Dave. His favourite presenter is James May as he likes his extravagant shirts and particularly likes a pearlescent white Range Rover Sport SVR.
(Well he is from Chislehurst)
Heidi has the most amazing eyes that can see right through to the back of your brain. She brings a bit of calm to the Vizslahouse. She loves nothing more than a bit of rough and tumble in the garden with the lads but her favourite place is chilling on the bed, with the sun making her coat glow through the bedroom window.
She loves This Morning but only when Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoghbooby are on. (She really doesn't like Eammon Holmes)
This one is a complete lunatic!
We knew trouble was brewing when Ruby joined Vizslahouse at 3 months old with pins in her fractured leg following a brief interest in parkour. She is barred from any kind of stimulant. Coffee and skittles are a complete no no!
Rumour has it, Ruby found parkour a bit dull and has entered next years Isle of Man TT race. Her favourite hobby is BASE jumping but she found the parachute was an unnecessary burdon and now prefers to jump "au naturel".
Vince is flipping gorgeous. He is laid back and handsome. He is also very caring and loves to be snuggled under his pink Princess blankie (hence the ``Princess Vincenzo nickname).
He sits on the sofa like a human and his favourite programme is Homes under the hammer. He loves it when they say ``per calendar month``.
Rocco is loud with a capital L and he loves nothing more than tearing across a field with a posse of Vizslas. We call him Roger because he ``actually comes back`` when you call him Roger.
His favourite TV programme used to be The Jeremy Kyle Show and he was mortified when it got taken off the air. He now watches Motorway Cops.
Frank is an even stranger looking Vizsla than Ted. He is a master of getting under the radar. You can be sitting in a room alone and before you know it he's there, on the arm of your chair, fast asleep. How the hell does he do that?
He loves Wheeler Dealers on Discovery HD and as a reformed alcoholic he now spends any spare time his garage. He is currently in the final stages of a complete engine rebuild on his Mk 1 Ford Escort Mexico.
You may think Ted is a strange looking Vizsla but that's because he is a very rare North Alaskan Vizsla. He has a strange obsession with horses and likes to wander off mid-walk, find a horse and just sit and stare, pulling a strange smiley face.
He's a bit of a cool dude and loves snuggling on the sofa watching repeats of Later with Jools Holland but gets a bit agitated when when Jools insists on playing boogie woogie piano with everyone.
There is nothing Penelope likes more than dressing up as Pat Butcher and having a good old roll around in some fresh poo.
The look of pure joy on her face when she is “in the act” is worth the stinky car journey home.
Ted & Frank are her bruvvas from anuvva muvva and they come as a triple threat.
After Penelope's third daily shower she loves to get her animal print PJ's on and snuggle up with Ted & Frank to an episode of Love Island. She's even started nicking her Mum's mascara.
Nala stayed at Vizslahouse while my husband and I enjoyed a couple of long weekends away. When Nala returned, all I can say, is she looks like she's come back from the dog equivalent of a hen weekend in Ibiza. A very contented little girl. I love watching the updates on the vizsla_house Instagram account which put my mind at rest and allowed us to enjoy our break.

Julie has offered me a flexible solution to my work commitments. Fifa always comes home happy and exhausted and with a cheeky smile on her face.

Vince was one of Vizslahouse's first clients, he absolutely loves Julie and the family. He pined for Rudi & Ayva when he got home and clearly developed a bit of a man crush on Bentley the Schnauzer. I would highly recommend Vizslahouse, (but not too much just in case there is no space for us next time). Julie offers a bespoke service for the individual crazy Vizsla needs.
