A trusted haven

Sarah, our carer was brilliant as always. Our dog is a bit nervy and doesn't like being left, but Sarah knows her well and is aware that after about 15 minutes she calms down and accommodates for this. We get a photo later to prove it. We live in the same village and if we meet Sarah out on a walk our dog is always pleased to see her. Connie our dog has stayed here a few times and there are 2 more planned visits this year. We trust Sarah and feel secure in the knowledge, Connie will be well looked after.

Highly recommended

Maxy had a great time staying with Joyce, so much so that he didn't seem too bothered about coming home! He loved the space to play and explore in Joyce's garden. Joyce really did provide a home from home for Maxy.
As always, the organisation provided by Holidays4Dogs was excellent, with reminders about the paperwork we needed to complete.

First class service!

The booking system is easy and efficient, they keep detailed records of our dogs' needs and their carers are absolutely first rate. Our dogs love their holidays. Also - a huge plus - you can speak to someone if you have a query. That doesn't happen enough these days.

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!
