Beat the Summer Holiday Boredom with this Free Family Activity 

As children begin the countdown to the long school holidays, parents everywhere will undoubtedly be fearing the dreaded ‘I’m bored’ announcement from their offspring. With the worrying trend for increasing ‘screen time’, parents searching for healthier summer family activities may want to note the increasing trend of dog hosting as a family activity.  

For families where dog ownership isn’t an option this part-time, this alternative solution allows them to get out and about with a canine companion and explore the local area.

Exeter business Barking Mad is offering animal loving families with children aged five or above the opportunity to enjoy the company of a friendly dog during the holidays. Walks, play and all the fun associated with caring for a lovely pooch are included.

Lucy Wakefield of Barking Mad says,

“We are seeking volunteer dog cuddlers in the local area to care for dogs whose owners are away. This is a perfect activity for families who can dedicate a week or two to looking after one of the lovely dogs we have. Dogs cannot be left home-alone so it’s a great opportunity to get the kids out of the house on an adventure dog walk, and best of all it’s free!”

Every Summer, Barking Mad witnesses families whose holiday time is transformed by hosting dogs. Each arrives with their own food, bedding, toys and treats, with all insurance and administration taken care of. All you need to provide is your time, affection and a loving home environment.
