to our large and secure garden. Little dogs can play with

their toys, run round with their new friends and play

games like find the treats.

In the summer there are plenty of shady areas under

trees in the garden. There are cooling mats, cooling

vests (especially for Brachycephalic dog breeds) and

electric fans dotted around the home. We have plenty of

My Story

Hi, my name is Kim and I created Little Doggy Holidays through my love for dogs and wanting to provide a reliable home from home dog boarding service for pet owners who do not want to leave their family pet in boarding kennels.

Here they can experience the same luxuries that they have in their own home. From sleeping on the sofa or pet bed or even a human bed. They have the free run of our home and large enclosed garden to play in and will be cherished and loved as part of our family.

I tailor make their stay for all individual requirements.

My passion has always been focused on dogs, over the years I have had the pleasure of owning a Border Collie, a Labrador Retriever, two Jack Russell Terriers, a Springer Spaniel, and two Shih-Tzus. Currently we have our elderly Shih-Tzu and a Cavachon.

I have gained much experience working within a Veterinary Practice for more than 10 years. Having experienced many different breeds of dogs, I have gained knowledge in their behaviour and how to help them in stressful situations. I have also trained in dog behaviour and pet bereavement and understand not only how this affects pet owners but also the other pets in the household. I would love to invite your little dog into our home and provide them with a calm, loving environment where they will want to come back time and time again.

Little Doggy Holidays is committed to providing a safe and fun environment for your little dogs. Fully insured, with over 40 years experience in looking after dogs, I have an in-depth knowledge of brachycephalic breeds and the extra care they need during hot weather.

I have an accredited Pet First Aid Qualification, including CPR/choking and Dog Behaviour.
