Richard was excellent at communicating very quickly to arrange meeting. He was superb at asking what our dog needed and happy to walk him off lead once he’d settled in. He kept us updated throughout and was delightful to deal with.

Holidays4dogs made a perfect match for our boy

Maria and David are the perfect hosts. From the moment we met they put our minds at ease, that whilst we were away our boy would be taken care of and become part of their pack. We received regular updates and we could see he was living his best life whilst on holiday with them.
Highly recommend them, thanks holidays4dogs. We'll definitely be making a return visit.

I like everything about Holidays4Dogs

I like everything about Holidays4Dogs, from the initial contact to collecting our pooch at the end of our holiday. Booking is easy & thorough & I like that you meet your dog's prospective host beforehand. Erica has now cared for Dudley several times - we have had no problems & Dudley loves her. He is very elderly now & Erica looks after him carefully just as we would. The cost is reasonable and well worth it for peace of mind. I'm happy to recommend Holidays4Dogs.

Another good experience

This is the 4th time we have used H4D and it’s re-assuring to know that you are using a valid and trusted carer for your pooch. Easy to use and altho we used a different home this time it all went really well. Jody was great and our dog was happy too.

Robert and Mary were brilliant. Thank you!

Robert and Mary who looked after our dog couldn’t have been more lovely. They agreed to meet me in advance as I wanted to make sure they were a good match for us. They took such good care of our dog and I really felt that they looked after him as their own. They sent me pictures every other day and generally let me know what they had been up to. I didn’t feel worried as I knew he was in capable loving hands.
The company in general were very helpful and couldn’t have done more for us to get the paper work sorted, patiently reminding me to send through info and adding info in for me when I couldn’t get online.
Thank you so much, I’m sure we will be back. Anne

Reliable and reassuring dog care.

It was good to meet the carers beforehand and reassuring to know that my dogs would be well cared for. Communication was really good and the updates were lovely to receive. I was so happy with the care that Lucy and Steve gave our dogs and it was evident when we picked them up how happy they had been.
