Excellent first experience of using…
Excellent first experience of using Holidays4dogs. The central office were responsive and answered all of my questions before I booked. It was really reassuring to be able to meet with the suggested care before booking a stay to make sure we were the right fit for each other.
Jacqui was amazing and Ed had a very happy and settled first stay. She was keen to know all about our usual routines and made sure that this information made sure he was as comfortable as possible. The location of the property, surrounded by fields is perfect for dog walks and Jacqui made sure that Ed had plenty of exercise and enrichment. We have already booked a second stay!

Peace of Mind
Our 11 year old Labradoddle had never spend a night in kennels - always staying with family when we went away. Holidays4Dogs made him part of a family whilst we were away - Steve and Lucy could not have been any nicer sending occasional photos of what he was up to, we were reassured throughout the whole process.

Brilliant experience
Brilliant experience! So much better than kennels, and good to use a reputable firm rather than rely on pet sharing websites, in my view

Caroline and Paul took great care of our boys again. Great at handling a boisterous fun loving 5 year old as well as carefully managing the needs of our 15 year old on medication. We can completely relax on holiday knowing what safe hands they’re in!

H4D is mostly easy to book. I use the same Sitter if they are available which happens 99 out 100! My Dog loves the Sitter and settles in atraight away. She needs certain medications which the Sitter is happy to administer. She is thoroughly spoilt and never wants to come home.
The only negative is the cost of booking the Sitter. The longer the Sit the more expensive the booking fee is instead of one general fee. Considering you have to pay the Sitter too it does mount up.

Thanks so much for leaving a review. So happy that Mabel enjoys her holidays!
Our daily rate is split into two parts, one - the booking fee, which is paid after a successful visit or on booking if it's a repeat stay with a carer you have met before, to get your dogs holiday confirmed. The second part of the fee is then paid to your carer when you drop your dog off for their holiday. Hope this explains a little why the booking fee is more if the holiday is longer, as it is part of the daily rate.
We are more than happy to answer any other questions or queries you may have and we are in the office on 0800 2300 266 🐾

Excellent host
Philip was welcoming and fully understanding of Flossy's needs, and it wasn't his fault that she wouldn't settle. She enjoyed her walks with him but it proved very difficult to get her back into his house afterwards.

Another amazing stay
Another amazing stay. I was delayed at the airport due to storm Claudia and could not pick up on the designated day. The sitters didn’t hesitate to say my dog could stay the night with them . It was a great experience and everyone went the extra mile for us.
