Summertime holidays for pets
Summer's here, and perhaps the only cloud on the horizon is how best to care for your beloved pooch while you're away. But there is an alternative to kennels: the home-from-home dog holidays offered by pet care pioneers Barking Mad.

An alternative to dog boarding kennels, Barking Mad provides a home from home holiday for your dog. The concept created in May 2000 as a new kind of dog sitting service. Barking Mad has now expanded its pet sitting services throughout the UK and overseas. Based on owner-operated franchises around the country, we arrange for dogs to stay with loving host families who can match the sort of environment and routine the dogs are used to.

We select the ideal dog sitting host family from our portfolio of trusted dog sitters who meet our extremely high standards. Accommodation is arranged in a warm, friendly home environment similar to your own, with one-to-one dog care. Exercise and feeding routines are maintained just as your dog is used to, he can even take his own bed and toys!

To learn more about using our home-from-home dog sitting service as an alternative to kennels, to find out about becoming one of our host family dog sitters offering dog holidays - or even to discover how you could soon be running a Barking Mad pet sitting franchise yourself - please explore the pages of this website.
