Steve at Skidby is an absolutely wonderful dog carer
Steve at Skidby is an absolutely wonderful dog carer. He is incredibly caring and attentive, and it’s clear how much he genuinely loves the dogs he looks after.
Mabel absolutely loves going to stay with him, which gives me complete peace of mind whenever she’s there. She’s always so happy and relaxed when I pick her up.
The environment is very safe and secure, with plenty of space for her to run around and enjoy herself. I always know she’s in the best hands with Steve.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and reliable dog carer.

Another Perfect Stay
I have found Holidays4Dogs an excellent company to deal with, always helpful and professional.
Lily had another perfect stay with lovely carers, Lucy and Steve ... her second time with them. It is a real home away from home, and we can leave her knowing that she will be happy and well cared for. Thank you so much.

5 stars from me!
I would highly recommend Holiday4dogs. We have been using them for many years. The carers they have are all really good and the staff in the office are always polite and helpful. They are so good at short notice too and will go out of their way to help.
Kenzie, our golden retrieiver, has just had another couple of days with Dave and Linda. As always, everything was great. He loves going to them and we know he is safe and happy so that makes us happy too!

A professional and reliable company
For a good few years now we have used holidays4dogs, usually two or three times a year. Booking is really easy and confirmation is quickly received. We have had 3 different carers to date, who have all been good but by far the best is Janie Comber. Max loves going there and is really settled. We receive updates throughout his stay and he is really well looked after. I feel very confident using holidays4dogs, we can relax and enjoy our holiday.

I have used h4d twice now and on each occasion my and my dog’s experiences have been very positive. They offer excellent value for money, as in addition to a carefully vetted dog carer they provide a support service if anything goes wrong. None of the app-based platforms (eg Rover, Trusted Housesitters) offer this: they just facilitate contact between non-vetted sitters and owners, and there is no meaningful customer support if those relationships fail. Any calls I made to h4d were answered immediately and communications were always friendly and helpful, so if anything did go wrong I’m confident that they would be on hand. Overall I highly recommend h4d: they are the most professional and responsible dog care agency I have encountered.

Fantastic and loving care for our dog
Our dog has stayed with Mandy and Freddy several times now and has always been so well looked after, we couldn’t ask for more. We feel so reassured knowing that he is made to feel well and truly at home with them while we are away. The holidays4dogs booking process is straightforward and easy to follow. Alfie will definitely be returning!

Excellent care from real dog lovers
Both our dogs had a lovely time staying with Carol and Keith, they were really settled and you can see that they are genuinely cared for like one of the family. The updates each day helped me to relax about leaving them too. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.

Holidays4dogs is an excellent service
Holidays4dogs is an excellent service. My dog has stayed with this carer a few times and as soon as we arrived he ran up to their door tail wagging, he was so happy to be there.
He’s treated like their own dog and we received lots of photos and emails letting us know how he was which was very reassuring.
We will definitely use them again 😃🐾
