Hound Bound NYC

Hound Bound NYC is a Brooklyn, NY pet care company offering in-home dog boarding and dog daycare, with pets staying in a caregiver's home rather than a kennel run. The same team handles dog walking, pet sitting, and house sitting, so a dog that does better on its own turf can stay there instead.

Services

• Cage-free in-home overnight boarding
• Daycare
• GPS-tracked walks with detailed visit reports
• Pet sitting and house sitting
• A service app for scheduling and messaging the caregiver

What makes it different

The cage-free, in-home setup is the main distinction here. Dogs stay in a caregiver's house, an arrangement that often suits small dogs, nervous dogs, and pets that have never spent a night in a run. Caregivers are background-checked and First Aid certified, and the business is insured and bonded.

The service app carries much of the day-to-day communication. Owners schedule visits, chat directly with their dog's caregiver, and get detailed reports back. Walks are GPS-tracked, so there is a record of where the dog actually went rather than a verbal summary.

Practical details

Rates published on the company's website run from $40 to $65 per day. Discounts are available when booking multiple visits. Booking happens online, and questions can go to 929.756.5022 or Houndboundnyc@gmail.com.

In-home care depends heavily on the fit between one household and one dog, so it is worth spending time on that first conversation. Owners who want a quiet, home-based alternative to a commercial facility in Brooklyn will find this model closer to what they are picturing than a run-and-suite operation.
