When You Need An Extra Pair Of Hands
ABOUT US

I established my company after I decided to leave my tech job in London to work locally, so that my partner James and I could get a dog.
We realised our dream in 2021 when we brought our gorgeous hound Louis home, and it was he who inspired the name Helpful Hounds.
​
With four mouths to feed now (including Charlie Brown the starving stray kitten I rescued from Cyprus) I turned to my bizarre love of housework and Helpful Hounds was born.
​
Since leaving The City I have worked as a self-employed housekeeper at some of the most prestigious estates in the Cotswolds, including Daylesford, Cornbury Park Estate, Blenheim Palace, Adlestrop House, and other such homes of distinction.
​
In January 2024 I decided that I wanted to expand my reach, from working solely in large private estates, to also working in smaller family homes where I can make a real difference. So... I created this website, took a deep breath and here I am... ready to meet my new clients!
James and I offer a one-stop solution for anyone wishing to have their home cleared and cleaned in preparation for the new owners, or tenants, to move in to.
​
We work independently of each other, so if you simply want a clean I can do that. If you only want a house clearance, then James is your man.
​
You will be pleased to know that Louis will not be turning up as he is actually not all that helpful!
