Morgan

Looked after Morgan my dog. It was the first time he had been away from me and it worked beautifully. He was happy and settled well. I would definitely use these again.

Another fabulous stay

Shirley and Paul provide a true home from home stay for our dog. When we drop Daisy off, she is clearly happy to stay and on picking Daisy up you can see that she has had a good time.

Fantastic dog boarders - would recommend!

Our Springer Spaniel Stan loved his holiday with Erica. He’s been to stay a few times now, and has been very happy each time. He enters the house with no hesitation and very quickly makes himself at home. It gives me great peace of mind to know that he is being well looked after, and has all of the care and attention he needs while we are away.

Our little Ruby has been to stay with her carer Janet for several years now.She is always happy to stay, and when we pick her up she always says bye to Janet.
We always are happy to know Ruby is being well looked after, while we are away, thanks again.

This was the second time Minnie and Peanut stayed with Carrie and Paul, and just like previous visits, both pups were exceptionally well looked after. Nothing was too much trouble. Carrie kept me updated daily with photos and details of their day, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Carrie and Paul and will absolutely continue to request them for our pups’ care.

Excellent carers.

Our pet dog has been cared for by the same dog carers for several years. They are a devoted and loving couple. Their devotion and caring qualities are unquestionable.

Excellent Carers

Another very positive experience using Holidays for Dogs. Our first time using Dave and Linda and will definitely be using them again. They and their dog, Brodie were very welcoming and our dogs settled immediately. They followed our dogs routines and took them on some lovely walks. We were sent regular updates and photos and the dogs were very relaxed when we collected them.

Paula and Kevin go above and beyond to ensure our dog has the best time!

This was our 2nd time leaving our pup Rolo (who is a bit mischievous and by no means easy) but Paula and Kevin spoil him rotten. Lovely walks, lovely food, they send us video/image updates and just give him the best time! I am surprised he wants to ever come home.

Juno’s recent 3 night stay with Tony

Juno enjoyed her recent 3 night stay with Tony. She was well taken care of, taken on lots of walks and we had regular updates from Tony to let us know she was settled. We all agreed it’s not a good fit for future stays due to Juno’s energy levels, but we really appreciated Tony’s honesty around that. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him as a carer!

Excellent efficient service.

Holidays4dogs were very quick to sort us out with an excellent replacement carer for our dog when the carer we had originally booked with was taken ill.
Our dog Bertie had a wonderful time with Carrie and her dog Merry.
We can't recommend Holiday 4 Dogs highly enough .

Chris and Maggy are excellent carers

Chris and Maggy really make Eddie welcome and nothing is a problem. Eddie has a few strange quirks and they accommodate everything. I would highly recommend them especially if you have an older dog like we do.

Very happy dog! 🐾😃

Gracie stayed for a long weekend with ‘aunty’ Alyson for the 2nd time this year (had 2 weeks in May). She knew exactly where she was going and pulled us from the car straight to her door, and we’ve never seen her be so happy to see someone! We know that she has the best time with Alyson, and trust her as much as we would family to look after Gracie. So pleased we found Holidays4Dogs, definitely worth every penny x 🐾😊
