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 😃🐾

Great doggy care

Kruise is a large dog and at Anne and Mike’s he has plenty of space to move around and plenty of love and attention while we’re away.
I don’t worry about him at all and can see by his face on videos taken while we’re away that he’s happy. Great job, Thankyou!

An excellent stay

We felt very confident leaving our 2 dogs in the capable hands of Ray and Jean. The garden is very secure and the dogs had great fun playing outside. They were well cared for during their stay and we would be happy to have our dogs board with them again. Full marks to Ray and Jean

Everything was just right…

The booking process was straightforward and there were a few dog sitters available around our area. Julie and Ian were lovely - very friendly and our dog, Millie, really enjoyed her stay with them along with the plentiful walks.
