Who are we

Outward Hounds is a unique, independent dog walking and daycare business serving Exeter and the surrounding areas. We provide one-of-a-kind adventure walks in the beautiful Devon countryside for our dogs as well as home daycare where our pups receive all of the love and attention that they deserve.

The role
We are looking for a reliable individual to help us with walking the dogs in a small pack environment and occasionally caring for the daycare dogs in the afternoons. The right candidate will have to be able to work effectively on their own, following our direction but also be able to work as a part of our small and dedicated team.
