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.

Sarah was lovely and kept us updated with photos and videos whilst we were away. Dogs seemed settled and Sarah answered all messages promptly. Would recommend Sarah and would not hesitate to use her again xx

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 🐾😊

They both took time to make Murphy’s stay the best

The back room people do what is required but I feel the dog carer should get more than the administration

Wonderful!

Oscar had a wonderful holiday with Harold and Sue. He was a guest in their home, with no other dogs, and we know they gave him their full attention at all times. Apparently he was on his best behaviour so that was good to know! The location was very local to us, so that meant it was easy to get too, and Oscar was able to spend an afternoon there, before we left him for a longer period of time. Thank you and would recommend.

Monty loves staying with Steve. He is always a little bit depressed when he comes home, that is evidence in spades he is being cared for!.
The whole process is so simple as well.
