Holidays4Dogs: dog home boarding with audited carers

Holidays4Dogs is a British company established in 2006 that operates a dog home boarding booking service in private homes. The company presents itself as the UK market leader in its segment and as the fastest-growing option in home boarding and online dog community. Its proposition stands apart from directories of unaudited carers and from individual boarders who accumulate several dogs: the company states that its carers provide individual one-to-one care, do not pack walk or accept simultaneous stays of dogs from different families, and do not leave animals alone during the day.

Coverage and service model

The service operates in England and parts of Wales and Scotland. The company does not directly handle stays but acts as an intermediary: the client enters their postcode on the website to check whether the area is covered and the company assigns a local carer. Before booking, the owner can meet the assigned carer. During the stay, the service includes sending regular updates to the owner.

Carers and selection process

Holidays4Dogs carers go through an approval and home check process. The company describes them as audited and approved, and presents them as capable of adapting to each dog's needs. The company also encourages new carers to join its network through a specific section of its website.

Customer profile and reviews

The website collects numerous testimonials from dog owners in various British locations, such as Nottingham, Stalybridge, Retford, Norwich, Stevenage, Oakham, Sunderland, Dunstable, Driffield, Newcastle upon Tyne, Wakefield, Mansfield, Surrey, Leeds, Cheltenham, County Durham, Rutland, Barnsley and others. The accounts mention stays of varying lengths, from a few days to two weeks, and highlight the dogs' adaptation, communication with the carer and the resolution of requests at short notice. The company also displays an excellent rating on Trustpilot and states it has recommendations from UK vets.

Registration and headquarters

Registration on the platform is free and the company indicates that an online discount is available. Holidays4Dogs' head office is located in York, England, postcode YO43 4HF.
