HOLIDAY DOGS is a new local service designed to help loving doggy owners (like myself!) to find appropriate home boarding for their best friends. Most people nowadays prefer to board their dog within a loving home environment, maintaining their pets routine and ensuring they are happy and content as they are with you. This is, after all the perfect alternative to kennelling! However it’s not always easy to find the perfect dog loving carer who can offer all of these things – well LOOK NO FURTHER! Due to the increasing demand of home boarding I decided to set up HOLIDAY DOGS, with the help of my chosen dog loving host families. I am now able to offer more and more owners peace of mind whilst they are away from home due to holidays, work etc. Each of my host families are genuine dog lovers and due to their working commitments being extrememly low, they are able to provide your dog with the ultimate care & comfort, giving you absolute peace of mind, flexibility and security. Each host family are fully insured and have been carefully selected by Holiday Dogs. Call Mary-Ann on 07712 270415 for more information, or visit www.holidaydogs.co.uk

1 hour walk         @ £10.00

Testimonials from our Happy Customers:

The wedding day passed by in a flash and we all had a brilliant day, this could not have happened without the excellent service offered by Mary-Ann and her team, it was very comforting to know that both Tilly and Molly were able to stay in their own home and received great care from Adrian - there we no problems on our return home the next day and I would have no hesitation in  using the service again.  Thank you so much for all your help at last minute and look forward to using the grooming service next!
Kindest wishes, Bev.

Mary-Ann walked my dog Barnie weekly and also arranged boarding accommodation for him on a number of occasions.  He is a lovely but feisty rescue dog and loves his walks but was angelicly behaved with Mary-Ann.  The home boarding couples he stayed with were also first class and I had absolutely no concerns at leaving Barnie with Mary-Ann or her dog boarders.  I have known Mary-Ann since soon after she started up her businesses and am amazed at what a success she has made of all aspects - dog grooming, dog boarding etc.  She's even found time to organise regular group dog walks to help dogs (and their owners) socialise and to raise money for charity.  She's clearly a natural with all types of dogs and pretty good with their human companions too!  J.Cody, Kesgrave.
