Has anyone got any dog sitter/boarding kennel recommendations or horror stories they wanna share?

I wanna go with my partner to their home country for a max of 2 weeks next early year, but we have a dog and no friends/family who would be able to take him or stay at our house with him.

I'm hesitant because he's a tiny bit screwed up due to a couple occasions where off-leash dogs attacked him, but sometimes he's really good with other dogs - it just depends. He absolutely loves people though.... Unfortunately I'll probably end up just not going for the trip but we'll see

Granite Hill out past Pakey. They've been excellent every time we've gone. And my kelpie is a bit... weird. Hallam pet resort were also very good.

I might give Granite Hill another look at. This is the one my grandma used exclusively for her pets, but those pets and granny herself are long gone so I wasn't sure how it is these days. I'll take a look at the Hallam one too. I don't mind pricing or anything, I just wanna come home to a happy and healthy dog 😬

both'll do that. Like I said my Kelpie is highly strung, and even he seems to have a good time. Edit: you can also call and check on them at any point.
