Dogs Vacation

Just returned from our holiday and picked our boy (dog) up from his little holiday with Juile. He always has the best time, is so well cared for and comes home having had the best time. He has been staying with Julie for the last 6 years since a pup and gets so excited when he hears he's going to for a play date or holiday. We have never used anyone else, even having our boy go and stay when both our little ones were born. We trust he is in safe hands and know we can keep in touch to see how he is while away too.

Julie looks after our dog one day a week and for occasional overnights and holidays. Seeing Julie weekly means that our Labrador thinks it's her second home! Over the years our Lab has benefited socially, meeting other dogs, and we have benefited from Julie's extensive knowledge, advice and tips in all aspects of dog ownership. We thoroughly recommend the peace of mind that comes with knowing Julie not only cares for our dog's physical needs, but knowing our Lab gets all the love and attention she needs as well.

Julie is devoted to the welfare of dogs in her care. For the last 15 years she has looked after our dogs, each visit marked by their excitement to see her. We trust her completely and can’t imagine leaving our dog with any one else.

My dog wags her tail at Julie’s door just before going in, so I know she feels happy there when we are on a break. Julie is a warm and friendly lady and well organised. My dog is in very good hands which gives us the confidence to enjoy our time away.

Julie has been looking after my dog bailey when we go away on holiday for around 9 years and she is the only person I would trust to have him. He has an absolutely lovely time, she treats all the dogs like her own. It is like home from home. Bailey loves it and always has the best time.

Julie has been caring for my Cockapoo while I’ve been on holidays since he was a puppy( he’s now 9) I can’t fault how well he’s been looked after. He obviously enjoys his stay with Julie and whatever dogs she’s looking after at the time. He comes back fit and healthy. I highly recommend.

Julie has been regularly looking after our black lab since she was recommended to us about a year ago. Lily goes for just the day and for holidays. She has a wonderful time and we're fully satisfied that she is really well cared for in Julie's home from home!

We are lucky to have Julie nearby, our dogs are so well looked after when they stay with her. We particularly like the home from home environment she provides for them. Dogs Vacation is highly recommended by us.

I’m so glad we found Julie. She is wonderful with dogs; loves and cares for them as she does her own. I would recommend dogs vacation to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, reliable, loving, home from home to care for their dog.

I can’t recommend Julie enough. I thank my lucky stars that she was recommended to us by a friend. Our little, nervous lockdown rescue puppy was scared to be with anyone but us, but Julie patiently helped me settle her in over time and was so reassuring to us both! Our girl loves going on holiday/day care to Julie and doesn’t look back! We love receiving updates and photos of her having fun and know she is looked after in a warm and nurturing home-from-home environment.

Been with Julie for probably 12 years and two dogs. Would never use a kennel being looked after in someone’s home is far better, when we drop our dog off Julie opens the door and she has gone indoors no better recommendations that that. Julie always comes to the door with a smile, very professional nothing is too much trouble and she very committed that your pet is well looked after, you can leave your dog there knowing that it is in good hands.

How relieved we were to find the wonderful Julie several years ago when the lady who looked after our West Highland terrier Annie decided to give up. Annie goes excitedly to Julie several times each year for periods of two to three weeks as well as one or two day care. We often get little reassuring texts or pictures from Julie to let us know all is well and whilst we have 100% confidence in her its comforting to get them. Julie is always waiting for us when we arrive and is flexible about arrangements when we have arrived back early or late from a holiday. Annie loves Julie and her 'boys' and we recommend her with the highest confidence.

I was glad to find Julie nearly seven years ago and an extra dog later I wouldn’t consider using anyone else when I need to be away from my yorkie and shorkie. Total peace of mind and the return of happy dogs every time.

Our dog Murphy goes to julie for his holiday every time we go away and he always has a lovely time bounding in as soon as we arrive without a glance back! I highly recommend dog vacation and trust julie 100% with my dog.

We were lucky to find Julie over 10 years ago for our terrier Roxy and have benefitted from her professional, passionate and personal care ever since, both with her and another of her hosts when she was full. She now looks after Roxy and her daughter Coco and my mum’s saluki Tessy regularly and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her. She is good value for a proper home experience for the dogs, regular exercise, cuddles and medication administration when needed, so our minds are at rest when we are away, especially for Mum who’s Tessy is of a nervous nature. Julie is friendly, efficient and very knowledgable and the quality of her care is excellent.

We can relax when we're away on holiday knowing that our cocker spaniel girlie will be happy and cared for. She suffers terribly from separation anxiety but just loves Julie and we know that Julie understands all the dogs in her care. We are so pleased to have found her.

We have boarded our 2 small dogs with Julie for more years than I can remember. Always been a worry free experience and the dogs love going to stay. We are now down to just one of them but she is just as content to stay. Highly recommended in every way.

We have used Dogs Vacation a number of times now and our dog is always happy to see Julie. She offers a lovely home from home environment. It is obvious that she has lots of experience and a real passion for what she does. I would not hesitate to recommend the service she provides.

Excellent care for our two dogs in a welcoming family home. It is also a great experience for dogs lacking in confidence with other dogs, as the K9 social aspect is invaluable. Julie was fantastic in handling a sometimes bossy dog, and helped to set the dog on a happier course. Julie was also helpful in terms of general dog behavioural advice. A very professional service, well organised with regards to timings and routines, well worth the rates to feel that your beloved dogs are in a home environment rather than just kennels.

We usually take our dog Bailey away on holiday with us but when we are not able to it's a great comfort to know that he will be well cared for by Julie. He's rather spoilt at home and we very much feel nothing changes when he's with Julie. The service provided is professional and Julie is invariably cheerful and pleasant and very obviously a dedicated dog lover. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Dogs Vacation to any dog owner.
