Why I Created Mutterly Hampshire – A Hub for Dog-Friendly Hampshire

Hi, I’m Claire, founder of Mutterly Hampshire—a one-stop directory for all things dog-related in Hampshire.

If you’ve ever found yourself endlessly searching online for the best dog walker, groomer, or dog-friendly spots, you’ll know how frustrating it can be.

I started this website because I’ve been there too—trying to find trusted, high-quality services for my own dog, Mango.

So, What Makes Mutterly Hampshire Different?

You might be thinking, “But aren’t there already dog directories online?” And you’d be right.

There are national websites like Dog Friendly UK, cottage rental sites with pet-friendly options, and Facebook groups.

But here’s where Mutterly Hampshire stands out:

✔️ It’s 100% Hampshire-focused – so you’ll find local hidden gems that might not be listed elsewhere.

✔️ It’s easy to navigate – no endless scrolling, just clear categories and trusted recommendations.

✔️ Every service listed is force-free – we only feature businesses that use kind, ethical, and modern dog training and handling methods.

A Bit About Me

Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with an eclectic mix of a corgi, a jack russell, a whippet lurcher and border collies.

As soon as I was able to, I got a dog of my own - a cocker spaniel called Bella. Mango is my fifth dog (another cocker) and I've also shared my life with lurchers.

I’ve worked as a dog walker, trained as a Tellington TTouch Practitioner, and now run a handmade dog bowl business.

So I know what it takes to find great dog-friendly businesses, and I want to make it easier for you.

Whether you’re searching for:

🐶 A trusted dog walker in Hampshire

✂️ The best local dog groomers

🐾 A great dog-friendly café or pub

🎾 Enrichment activities, training classes, and more...

You’ll find everything you need in one place—right here on Mutterly Hampshire.
