Host comments

Photo of 2 dogs playing in the parkBeing a host is a wonderful way to enjoy the companionship of a dog. As you get older all dog lovers have to consider carefully if they can devote 10-15 years to a new dog of their own. Being a host enables you to have the best of both worlds – and you are able to give a dog a happy and comfortable holiday in a caring home.

Before Barking Mad, I was a typical housewife and mother with a very friendly Labrador of my own. Now I’m a host, my life and home have taken on a change for the better.

It’s nice to know we’re doing something worthwhile, and lovely to be part of a pet-loving organisation.
