Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff and carers for their exceptional care, often treating pets like their own and providing regular updates with photos and videos, which brings great peace of mind. People frequently highlight the excellent service, noting the ease and thoroughness of the booking process, including the opportunity to meet carers beforehand. Many consumers appreciate the responsiveness and professionalism of the customer service team, making the overall experience smooth and reassuring. However, some customers also noted issues with communication, mentioning that the company is rarely at the end of the phone and that callbacks need improvement. A few other people also felt that the booking fee structure could be improved, suggesting a single general fee instead of one that increases with the length of the stay.

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. 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!

We recently used Holidays 4 Dogs for the first time for Rosie, our 13 month old toy poodle.
Thank you Paula and your husband for looking after Rosie so well. We both really felt very happy leaving her with you and she very obviously enjoyed her time with you.
The photos and videos Paula sent made all the difference while we were away, we could see how happy she was.
We have two more bookings this year and will most definitely be booking again for future holidays
