Peace of mind

I felt very happy knowing that Bailey was well looked after by Alyson. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which put our minds at ease. From her updates, it was clear that Bailey was comfortable, happy, and displaying his usual (slightly crazy!) behaviour and that Alyson had got to know him, his likes and dislikes, very well. Would definitely recommend Alyson and Holidays4Dogs!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lovely dog carers-Highly recommend!

We were so happy with the care our dog received recently while we were away for a few days for our daughter’s Graduation. She was so well looked after by Mary and her husband. They welcomed her into their home, and cared for her as if she was their own dog.
She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well exercised! She had been treated like a member of their own family and they had even taken her out for a game of ball in the fields near their home, which is something she absolutely loves.
Right from the start, the communication from the Holidays4Dogs team was excellent and it was very reassuring that they went to so much trouble to gather as much information about our dog as possible to pass on to the carers prior to her stay with them.
Thanks to Holidays4Dogs we were able to enjoy what was a very memorable occasion, safe in the knowledge that our dog was being so well looked after by such lovely people.
Huge thanks for taking such great care of her — we’ll definitely be booking again!

Highly recommend Holidays 4 Dogs

Straight forward booking process and communication and I like that you meet the carer before the booking is finalised if you haven’t used the carer previously . It’s reassuring to meet in person beforehand. This stay was with carers we have used previously and I know that my dog is very happy to stay with them and looked after exceptionally well.

Fabulous service

I love that you can choose your own carer from the dates you check for availability. The information is clear about each carer ( ie where the dog would sleep, is there a garden etc), and there is a meet beforehand if your dog has not been before.
The team at holidays4dogs are all lovely and helpful and the website is so easy to use.
The carer we have used for our dog is exceptional. Very thorough in terms of gaining all the information needed to ensure our dog has a great holiday with them. I received many photos and updates which was lovely. I would not hesitate to recommend.

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.
