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

Testimonials from some of our happy Holiday Dogs Customers!


The wedding 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 were 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 looking forward to using the grooming service next!  Kindest wishes, Bev, Kesgrave.


Mary-Ann and Holiday Dogs provide a service that is second to none.  Our dog is always happy when in his doggy boarding and this is of utmost importance to us when we're away.  Knowing that our dog is in a safe and happy environment where Mary-Ann has used all of her expertise and knowledge to ensure that each holiday home consists of animal lovers is remarkable.  A Roue, Ipswich.


Holiday Dogs offers a professional, personal and friendly service to dog owners and their pets. Whilst Holiday Dogs is a business, it is family run and provides the reassurance and confidence that a pet is in the best place when care is needed away from home.  I would recommend Holiday Dogs to any dog owner who like me needs to find that personable and flexible person to look after your pet as if it was their own.  S.Aveston, Woodbridge.  


Mary-Ann from Walkies/Holiday Dogs 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 who loves his walks and was angelicly behaved with Mary-Ann.  The home boarding couples he stayed with were also first class and I had absolutely no concerns about leaving Barnie with Mary-Ann's host carers.  I have known Mary-Ann since soon after she started up her two 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 group 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. 


Hi, I just wanted to take the opportunity to say "thank you" for your service and as I said to Sue and Adrian when we collected Suzi that I just wish Ipswich was closer to Thetford!  We've been very pleased with everything and Suzi really enjoyed her holidays too!  Barbara and Suzi, Thetford.  


Holiday Dogs is a friendly and helpful service.  As soon as I saw Jojo's hosts for the week I knew he would be in safe hands!  Jojo had a super time and had lots of fun, love and care when I was away.  I will definitely be using this excellent service again.  Thanks everyone at Holiday Dogs.  Gemma, Ipswich.


Tyla has been to stay with with two Holiday Dog's host carers on separate occasions, both times have been superb!  It is obvious to me that they are all dedicated dog lovers who have the dog's interest at heart at all times.  Tyla is a very hairy German Shepherd but thankfully this has not put them off!  Y.Chittock, Kesgrave.  


This is a great service and so glad that I found it. It's worth the 1 hour 30 minute drive to Adrian and Sue's, next time I go away I would like them to look after Izzy again!


We would just like to say how pleased we have been with Holiday Dogs and your whole service.  The host carer was lovely and took great care of our boys.  Even after the initial visit we felt at ease, knowing that they would be in such good hands.  Mark and Clare, Ipswich
