In our old website we had a guest book which had feedback from some of our customers. We thought it would be useful to display some of these comments while our new guest book is finding its feet. |

Gary Posted: Nov 09, 2014 - 15:06:26 What else can I honestly say except exceptional care and service. Our puppy is treated like he is one of the family and he comes home so happy and well cared for. With regular Facebook posts and photos from Claire we can see what he's been up to and that is so reassuring. Would I recommend hotdog hols - absolutely positively yes, I found by chance and I am so glad I did !!! Stephanie Posted: Nov 08, 2014 - 22:12:00 Kiko & Rani have had another great holiday with Claire. Rani is 16 years old and receives the best care you can possibly wish for.

Gordon Jones Posted: Jun 24, 2013 - 21:41:47 not been down recently but my little girl would never be left anywhere else, no matter how rarely i might i need a babysitter, there is only one for me and my baby and that is Clare x cath Posted: Jun 23, 2013 - 14:42:29 I wouldn't leave my dog anywhere else! Makes them feel at home that much they would rather stay! Sarah green Posted: Jun 21, 2013 - 21:12:23 We heard about Hot Dog Hols a while before we contacted them because we assumed, as with almost every other dog-care business, that the costs would be too high. However, in an emergency we checked into it and were pleasantly surprised to find Claire’s rates very affordable indeed. As it was an emergency, there was no chance for Claire and Benji to meet beforehand so we just had to hope all went well. Everything was even better than expected! As soon as she opened the door to her cosy, clean house, Benji said a quick hello and then went straight into her kitchen, lay down and started gnawing a bone! I have found Claire to be calm and capable, and efficient, and I feel she could handle anything thrown at her. She replies to all my messages the same day with full information, and has offered useful tips and advice. And what did Benji think? Well, he told me that the clue was in the name – Hot Dog Hols – this is not just a dog sitter, this is a doggy holiday home! Claire’s doggy guests go off on fun woodland walks together, and even daytrips to the beach! We even received a doggy photo album of his jaunts on Facebook. Even without this, we would know he has a great time as he comes home absolutely jiggered, and for a lively border collie cross, that is no mean feat! So, thank you Claire- you are wonderful. But, wait – one improvement needed! Someone needs to clone you!!! Ian & Jenny Posted: Jun 18, 2013 - 08:29:54 We left our staff cross for a few days as a trial run for September and I honestly wouldn't leave my dog with anyone else. Treated her like she was her own dog even though it took her 2 days to go to the toilet! Sarah green Posted: May 13, 2013 - 23:48:04 Thank you so much for having Alfie for us while we were on holiday! A trip to the beach a swim in the sea lovely long walks in the park a dip in the local stream and plenty of time with other dogs! Sound like he had a better time than us, loved the fact that we got daily updates with videos and photos of how much fun he was having, anybody looking for an alternative to awful kennels hot dog hols is defo worth it I know Alfie will never be going back to the kennels now its hot dog hols all the way! Kim Torkington Posted: May 13, 2013 - 20:52:05 Thank you so much for having Dora and Daisy at the weekend. We have never left them before but were completely happy leaving them with Claire and Steven. They were both spoilt rotten and we would certainly recommend. Thank you so much xx Nicola Mason-Nixon Posted: Apr 03, 2013 - 10:50:56 Hotdog Hols are simply 'top class' ! Betty and Ethel are regular customers there! They both love their 'home from home!' . Great to know you can go away and leave your babies 'happy as Larry' , safe and with absolute dog lovers ! Thank you all for everything x Michelle and Chris x Posted: Mar 26, 2013 - 07:18:26 Ruby and Lola just love to stay with Claire, Steven and Lucy and have their holidays at least four times a year :-)Hotdogholidays are brilliant and staying with Claire is like home from home, lots of love, care and attention. We would be absolutely lost with out you x Val Rutter Posted: Mar 18, 2013 - 16:10:26 Our dog max stayed here last year and will be staying in may this year lots of walks n friendly people comes home shattered :-) Michelle wood Posted: Jan 10, 2013 - 23:02:40 brill service warm and friendly my dog keeko loves coming on his visits and sulks for at least two weeks when he comes back home thanks claire you do a fab job wouldnt trust any where else with keeko xxxx katie holmes Posted: Jan 09, 2013 - 21:40:25 My 2 dogs, tilly and sam had a wonderful time in September, and i had peace of mind they were well looked after thank you, Carla walker Posted: Jan 09, 2013 - 21:00:06 Bernie and Blue are always well looked after, and love spending time with the crew at Hot Dog Hols, I never worry when they are looked after by the team. They often have sleep overs and they are taken into their homes like one of their own, love that we have Hot Dog Hols to support us. Thanks Team Hot Dog Hols xxx Nicky Wilkinson Posted: Jan 09, 2013 - 20:38:19 I would highly recommend hot dog hols walk and wash service. It's hard work havin a baby and a bouncy dog. It was a great day, Foose got picked up early and dropped off after tea. He enjoyed his walk and even better his major haircut! Many thanks and we will be using the service again xx michelle marriott Posted: Mar 23, 2012 - 21:10:53 I found Claire by chance on facebook and after a few emails back and forth, she completely put me at ease. My two dogs are my furbabies and have been going to the same dog sitter for almost 7 years, so after moving 300 miles away to the North East, finding a new one was hard. The dogs have already been to Claire for a weekend and are going again in April for a week, then maybe again later in the year. I recommend Hot Dog Hols for the home from home environment, the excellent walks, the competitive prices and mainly just because Claire and her lovely family genuinely love dogs. Thats enough for me! Cheryl Posted: Mar 23, 2012 - 20:17:39 I recommend Hot Dog Holidays to everyone! I need to go abroad several times a year for at least a week and Sky stays with Claire everytime. I won't book a flight without having a confirmation from Claire that she can have my girl on the dates that I'll be away :) Sky loves to stay with her and we even get to see photos and updates from what our girl has been up to. I found out about Hot Dog holidays by chance and I'm very glad that I found it. Claire isn't the closest pet sitter to us, but we don't mind the longer drive to get her service. Thanks Claire and see you soon! :) Alexandra Mendes Posted: Mar 22, 2012 - 17:26:44 Was recommended hot dog holidays by a friend. I asked Claire an she was happy to look after my two British giant rabbits. Because they are my babies it's was hard finding somewhere that treated them well. Claire treated them with love and care as I would an the pictures showed how relaxed an happy they were. They have come back relaxed an happy an so well looked after! Claire also collected the boys and dropped them off to suite me. I could finish packing an unpacking with out the worry of getting to kennel before closing! I'm now looking forward to booking another holiday knowing my pets are cared for in a home from home environment. Thanks again Claire so glad we found you! Natasha Cuthbert Posted: Oct 06, 2011 - 12:08:18 Reccomend Hotdoghols to all. I was given Claires number by a friend who trains and shows Collies, so is another "doggie" person. I was a bit worried because Millie could be a bit snappy with other dogs and didnt want her causing problems for Claire and her other guests. After a chat, I met Claire and went for a walk with Claire and her dog Blue( a Crufts winner). I was reassured by Claire's manner with Millie and she said she was happy to take her. While we were away Claire kept us updated with messages and pictures on Facebook (she is also sending me a disc with Millies holiday pictures on). This was very reasuring for us and meant we didnt have to worry about how she was getting on while we were on our holiday. She really seemed to be enjoying herself with the other dogs, which was my biggest worry. Claire takes all your dogs details and follows their normal routines while you are away. Claire provides a brilliant service for your family pet, much better than a kennels, and at very reasonable rates.(cheaper than kennels and a lot less than the franchise operations like petpals!) Very happy with the care of Millie and will definitely use Hotdoghols again. Thanks to Claire and Steven. Stephen Alewood Posted: Sep 20, 2011 - 15:15:37 I'm Saffy's mam and highly recommend this service.saffy and I have separation issues [yes, i'm as bad as her}but she is quite happy to stay with Claire and was relaxed and happy when I came back for her .. best thing is NO CAGES OR LONG LONELY PERIODS. I'll never go anywhere else x Cath Rainbow Posted: Sep 12, 2011 - 17:08:5 |
