Welcome to Dogs Holiday Home 🐶

At Dogs Holiday Home, your dog becomes part of the family. Based in Woodbridge, Suffolk, and with over 14 years’ involvement in dog care and rescue, we provide a calm, loving environment where dogs can relax and feel completely at home while you’re away.

There are no kennels here – just a comfortable home with cosy spots for napping, plenty of playtime, and countryside walks through the beautiful Suffolk lanes. Every guest is cared for as if they were our own, with individual attention, a steady routine, and all the love they deserve. Every dog enjoys the same comforts they’d have at home – and a few extra treats along the way.

FAQs

What do I need to bring when my dog stays?

Please bring your dog’s regular food, lead, bed or blanket, and any favourite toys or treats. Keeping familiar items helps them settle quickly. If your dog takes medication, please include clear instructions.

Do you take all breeds and sizes of dog?

Yes – most friendly, well-socialised dogs are welcome, from small terriers to larger breeds. I may arrange a short “meet and greet” first to make sure everyone gets along and your dog feels comfortable here.

How many dogs do you care for at one time?

I keep numbers very low to ensure every guest gets plenty of individual attention and calm surroundings – usually just one household at a time.

Where will my dog sleep?

Your dog will sleep inside my home in a comfortable, safe space – no kennels or cages. If they’re used to sleeping in a crate, you can bring it along.

Will my dog be left alone during the day?

Very rarely, and never for long. Most of the day I’m home with the dogs, giving them company, playtime, and walks. If I do need to pop out briefly, they’ll be left in a secure, comfy space.

What are the vaccination and health requirements?

All dogs must be fully vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date with flea and worm treatments. Please bring proof of vaccinations at the meet and greet. I can’t accept dogs that are unwell, in season, or aggressive.

Do you offer updates?

Yes! I know it can be hard being apart, so I send regular photo or video updates so you can see how your dog is enjoying their holiday.

Do you walk the dogs every day?

Yes – every guest enjoys daily countryside walks in and around Woodbridge. Walk lengths and frequency are tailored to your dog’s age, fitness, and routine.

Do you offer day care as well as overnight boarding?

Yes, I offer both day care and overnight stays (subject to availability). Day care is ideal if you’re at work or out for the day and want your dog to have company.

What if my dog has special needs or takes medication?

That’s no problem at all. I’m experienced with administering oral medication and following set routines. Just provide clear written instructions and any supplies needed.

How do I book or arrange a meet and greet?

Simply fill in the enquiry form on the website or contact me directly. I’ll then arrange a short visit for you and your dog to come and see the environment before confirming any booking.

What happens in an emergency?

Your dog’s welfare is always my top priority. I have your vet’s details on file, and I’m registered with a local veterinary practice for emergencies. You’ll be contacted immediately if any issues arise.

Do you charge deposits or cancellation fees?

Yes – a small non-refundable deposit (10%) secures your booking, with the remaining balance due on collection. Cancellations made within 2 days of the booking may incur a fee. Full details are in the booking terms.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. I’m fully licensed by the local council (License No: 23/00022/AW18LI) and insured through Cliverton Insurance (CLIV007619PM). My certificate is displayed in my home and can be shown upon request.
