An alternative to dog boarding kennels, Barking Mad provides a Home-from-Home holiday for your dog. Read more...

Our Service

Barking Mad has been delighting thousands of customers across the country by arranging home from home holidays for dogs since 2000. We love dogs of all shapes and sizes, including many rescues who may find a return visit to the kennels a little too traumatic.

Our one to one care means that we never have different families dogs staying together, and as our carefully selected hosts do not work, your dog (s) will receive all the undivided attention they need.

You can decide on the type of stay you’d like for your dog. We can either arrange care in a home where there are no resident dogs, or holidays with a very well socialised resident playmate which is ideal for breeds that enjoy the company of other dogs.

Whatever decision you make, be sure it’s Barking Mad!

Our Hosts

It takes a special kind or person to put the "home from home" in Home-From-Home petcare. Read more...

Our Hosts

Barking Mad hosts are very special people indeed. If you have experience of owning a dog and find yourself without one of your own, then you might like to join our family.

Alternatively, you may have dogs of your own that would thoroughly enjoy the companionship of a visiting house guest.

Either way, becoming a Barking Mad host will be sociable, rewarding and exceptionally good fun!
