So impressed and happy with the service provided by holidays4dogs, our girls Sascha and Rosie stayed with the lovely couple Sally and Jeff, this couple cared and loved our girls as if they were their own, kept us informed throughout our holiday by text message as to how the girls were doing (this really put us at ease), would most definitely recommend this company and in particular this lovely couple, we will certainly be in touch in the future x.

Gatsby stayed with Jackie of a week. He had a lovely week with her and her family with days out to the beach and lots of cuddles and walkies. Will definitely use Holidays 4 Dogs in the future whether it be for Gatsby or one of our other dogs. The booking process was thorough and I felt very confident in using them. Liouse made sure that the home Gatsby went to was the right one for him.

We left our 2 year old dog for just over a week, his first experience of being cared for out of his own home. He received fantastic care. The career went above and beyond expectation. He came home happy, and with a clean bed! Would definately recommend and use again. Gl.

First class service. 2 dogs one of which is a puppy not always easy to place, Sitter was very experienced and helpful. Will definitely use again.

Absolutely delighted with the care, love and attention that my dog received whilst staying with Mike and Jean Bishop. My dog is an older rescue dog and I admit I was nervous about leaving him but Jean completely reassured me and sent me texts whilst we were away. When we collected him I could tell he was happy and would happily have stayed longer. We will definitely be using them again.

Freddy stayed with Lynda and John Terry in Glossop and was spoilt rotten on his holiday, going on daily, lengthy walks exploring new places. Freddy was loved and cared for as if he was their own. I received regular updates and photos, which was lovely for us to see him happy. Freddy will be returning soon and we know that he will immediately settle with Lynda and John, we couldn't have asked for better 'temporary parents'.

Have used holidays for dogs on a couple of occasions now and my dog has always received the best care, which means I can go away with peace of mind! Fantastic service and will use again when required!

With two young puppies, we feared we'd have to cancel our holiday because most companies seemed reluctant to take dogs under six months. Holidays4Dogs were unfazed however and so helpful in quickly finding a wonderful family who were the right balance of laid back and sensible. We had our holiday, and the puppies - four months old - were well looked after, and we received lovely photos of them enjoying their own holidays. We have always used home carers for our past dogs and it matters a lot to us that we like the family and can imagine our dogs in their company. We will definitely go back to Holidays4Dogs and, based on our first experience, we thoroughly recommend them.

We were very pleased that our little Bijon Frieze, 'Mitzi' was placed with a nice gentleman Jeremy who lived only half a mile away. She immediately settled down in her temporary home and according to Jeremy was a delight. Very pleased with the service with Alison Harper at the helm, will be happy to use the service in the future. Thankyou.

Kate was a very welcoming carer that I think found our elderly jack Russell a little demanding. In spite of this she stuck with her and had obviously tried very hard with her. It would have helped if she, Miss T, was an only dog but she survived and our peace of mind was assured. I would certainly recommend this service which is ideal for the spoiled pooch.

Pat and Alan and their 2 dogs made my dog very welcome over Christmas and the New Year. They have a great home, perfect for dogs with a lovely garden, conservatory where the dogs can chill on the sofas, and a large utility room where they dry off after walks and sleep. We did two short stays prior to my holiday and now when my dog recognizes where she is, she gets so excited. Pat and Alan really treat my dog as part of their family. I am so glad I found them.

From the moment I met Jackie Haste I knew my boys would be in safe hands. I was able to enjoy my holiday knowing that Ralph and Bazil would be well looked after. Jackie even posted me some pictures so I could see how happy they were. They were with Jackie for 12 nights. I can't recommend Jackie and Holidays4dogs enough.

We have been so delighted with the whole Holidays 4 Dogs experience from enquiring to booking to the care provided for our precious Tess and the regular updates from her carers during her stay. Tess was so well looked after and came home happy and relaxed. We had no hesitation in booking a longer stay for her with the same carer - she can't wait! It was our lucky day when we discovered Holidays 4 Dogs. Friends we have recommended has also been delighted.

Sandra, our dog sitter was brilliant and really cared for our dog.

Poppy had never stayed away from home before with strangers. From the moment I subscribed to the service and provided the details of my dog's desires to the moment she visited her holiday home, the service was exceptional. She stayed for four days between Christmas and New Year and totally enjoyed herself. She was well looked after, had plenty of walks, enjoyed the company of the owners dog Vixen and much fuss from the family. I cannot fault the whole process and will always use this option in the future.

I recently joined up with holidays 4 dogs as my older dog (10 years old) has never stayed in a kennels and I also have a six month old dachshund so I was keen for them both to be looked after in someone's home. I am delighted to say that Jed and Charlie enjoyed a two day break at Rita and Robert's home and I know they had a lovely time, a large garden to run around in, a lovely home to explore and the bonus of two other dogs (their own) to play with. Happy dogs, happy me ? .

We used Holidays 4 Dogs for our 2 dogs when we went away for a week in January. I would not hesitate to recommend the service and in particular Robert and Rita who I could not fault. They were perfect carers for our two dogs and I particularly appreciated their updates while we were away, allowing us to relax knowing the dogs were happy. I look forward to using them again in the future.

From start to finish dealing with Holidays 4 Dogs was really good. Louise was really helpful and friendly on the phone and understood how soppy I am about my dogs. I was found the perfect match for a carer in Stephanie, who along with her family welcomed my two into their home, and cared for them exceptionally. They even kept me up to date with photos whilst I was away. I couldn't recommend them more.

Was very happy with both my dogs being looked after at Lesley's home. She looked after them both very well. I will definitely use this site again. I wouldn't put my dogs in kennels again after Ledley looking after them. Thanks again.
Brian Sutton

I will never use kennels again, my first experience with holidays4dogs has been very good. Our dog Sophie is with us all day, every day on the farm but thanks to Lesley who looked after her for a week she was not so lonely when we went away. I would highly recommend the service, or did I get lucky with a lady who has a love for dogs.
