Who We Are
About & History
Celebrating 17years of dog care in 2026, Holidays for Dogs has been providing a trusted, personalised boarding and daycare service for dogs whose owners are away on holiday, business trips, or need short-term support due to life events like moving house or renovations.
Unlike traditional kennels, we focus on one-to-one care in a warm family environment. We welcome returning dogs year after year, a testament to the love and attention we give to every guest.
Even though we have been in business for 17 years Shirley, our founder, has had dogs in her life for over thirty years and genuinely cares for your loved dog.
