She is warm and friendly and Hazel took to her immediately.She is very reassuring and we felt safe leaving Hazel with her for 3 days.I would be very happy to book her again.

Jack had another lovely time with Maureen and Mike.
I wouldn’t leave him with anyone else due to his age and health. They are such a loving and caring couple. Jack settles in straight away it’s his 2nd home. 🐶🙂

Happy Dolly so happy owner…

I’m sure Dolly had a lovely stay again with Chris and Maggie. She is always happy when we arrive and sees Chris and follows him about straight away. She seems very well cared for and they update me during her stay. She is booked in for four more stays this year so I think that proves I am very happy to have them look after her. Thanks again Chris and Maggie

A trusted haven

Sarah, our carer was brilliant as always. Our dog is a bit nervy and doesn't like being left, but Sarah knows her well and is aware that after about 15 minutes she calms down and accommodates for this. We get a photo later to prove it. We live in the same village and if we meet Sarah out on a walk our dog is always pleased to see her. Connie our dog has stayed here a few times and there are 2 more planned visits this year. We trust Sarah and feel secure in the knowledge, Connie will be well looked after.

Highly recommended

Maxy had a great time staying with Joyce, so much so that he didn't seem too bothered about coming home! He loved the space to play and explore in Joyce's garden. Joyce really did provide a home from home for Maxy.
As always, the organisation provided by Holidays4Dogs was excellent, with reminders about the paperwork we needed to complete.

First class service!

The booking system is easy and efficient, they keep detailed records of our dogs' needs and their carers are absolutely first rate. Our dogs love their holidays. Also - a huge plus - you can speak to someone if you have a query. That doesn't happen enough these days.
