After an initial consultation Digby was matched to a couple perfect for him. The service by Barking Mad is both professional and truly accommodates your dogs needs. We can leave Digby knowing he's in good hands and with people who we know will take good care of him .Leaving us with peace of mind while away to enjoy our break More...

This was the first time we used an outside company to look after our dogs whilst we were away. Obviously with some trepidation we contacted Barking Mad and from then we need not have worried. Kerry was absolutely brilliant, she sorted everything for our boys and they went to stay with the host and her family. As a first time user the dogs had a trail stay to ensure compatibility between our dogs and the host. This is a very good idea as we were then happy that our dogs and their host were well matched. I cannot rate Barking Mad highly enough and we will definitely be asking Barking Mad to look after our boys again. To put our minds at ease whilst we were away we received numerous updates and photos telling us about the boys. More...

This was the second time I used the services of Barking Mad (Northumberland) and yet again I cannot praise them enough! My lovely Max was left in the capable hands of hosts Steph & Malcolm and it was clear, not only from the regular updates I received (photos as well as texts) that he was having a fab time with them. On his return he had cleverly mastered the art of writing and I received a lovely postcard updating me about his holidays!!!. The fact he settled straight back into his normal routine spoke volumes to me and I wouldn't hesitate to use a Barking Mad host in the future. Excellent service from start to finish. More...

I became a 'host' for Barking Mad, Derbyshire, in September 2022. Prospective hosts are carefully vetted to ensure they meet the high standards required. This includes a home visit to check that the holiday home is completely safe. I became a host having lost my own beloved companion in July 2022. Hosts are carefully matched with holiday dogs. I've hosted 2 beautiful dogs twice and looking forward to having one of them again next month. Being a dog lover, having a dog to love and care for again has truly helped with the healing process. I thoroughly recommend becoming a Barking Mad host. More...

Barbara did a detailed report of our dogs routines, likes and dislikes and then matched them to a host. I was impressed with the professionalism of Barbara and I felt my dogs would be in very safe hands. The communication was great, and I like that the dogs had a short time with their host before they went to stay. When we were away I had complete peace of mind. I can highly recommend Barbara and Caroline. More...

Barking Mad-Dog Home Boarding was recommended by a relative, but we still felt very apprehensive about leaving our dog with strangers, but felt that this a better option than using kennels. The Barking Mad representative put us at ease and we felt reassured that she was on hand if there were any issues whilst we were away. We felt confident that the family looking after our dog knew everything that they needed to know about her. We also felt confident that we were leaving our dog with a family who wanted to look after and enjoy time with her. When our dog was returned home she didn’t seem to have a care in the world and she was her normal self. Overall, we had a really positive experience and feel happy to recommend Barking Mad to other dog owners. More...

This is was the first time we had gone away on holiday without our dog and it was a big deal for us, however right from the start Steve (Barking Mad Chelmsford) was always at the end of the phone for any queries and did all he could to reassure us and ensure all went smoothly. The hosts were fantastic too, obviously taking great care of our girl as she came home happy and settled. Receiving a postcard when your dog returns home is a nice touch and lovely to read what they have been up to, as are the photos whilst you’re away. Our experience has been that Barking Mad do their upmost to reassure you and treat your dog with the care and attention you give them yourself. Whilst we missed our dog a lot, it was great to know she was in safe hands. We would recommend Barking Mad and would use them again. More...

Alun looked after our one year old labrador Hamish for 10 days while we enjoyed our first summer holiday in years. We had a great time but probably not as much as Hamish did. He was right at ease with Alun from the word go and he was in very safe hands. We got regular updates to put our minds at rest that everything was ok, which of course it was. We’d thoroughly recommend Alun and Barking Mad - your dogs will thank you for booking with them. More...

We have used Barking Mad numerous times to provide care for our lab whilst away - their care is second to none. Having always been cared for by family in the past we were apprehensive about using something more official, but we needn’t have worried given the service provided by Barking Mad. The early process of registering meant we were completely reassured that we were leaving Louis in good hands. Hosts are carefully thought out to suit the needs of your dog and over the course of our break we received daily updates of what Louis was getting up to with his host through photos and videos. It’s important to us that Louis is relaxed and happy in our absence and I’ve never questioned that being the case when Cath has organised a host for him, he definitely gets a holiday for himself! We’ve always returned to a very happy lad! Special mention to our most recent host Richard who was wonderful - it’s clear Louis had an amazing time with him, we already have him booked in to stay with him again on our next holiday and will continue to use Barking Mad in the future.
