About Us

Who are Vizsla Vacations?

Hi, we’re Kirsty and Dean, living near Castle Combe in rural Wiltshire with our two resident gingers.

We’re passionate about the Vizsla breed and understand their unique traits—the high-energy moments and the quiet ones (usually when they’re napping!). We know how hard it can be to find someone you trust with your beautiful Vizsla (we’ve been there and have definitely been picky ourselves).

With our experience caring for two Vizslas, you can rest assured that your dog will be well taken care of and treated like part of our family, getting all the exercise, mental stimulation, and love they deserve.

We’re all about walks, outdoor adventures, and those cosy sofa moments with our Vizslas.

Meet Yarra and Noosa

Hi there, we’re the resident Vizslas here at Vizsla Vacations, and we’re living our best Vizsla lives every single day!

We absolutely love going on walks, playing (sometimes a bit too energetically and noisily!), enjoying all the tasty food we can get our paws on, and then snuggling up on the sofa for some well-deserved rest. And of course, we can’t forget about our amazing humans who spoil us with love and make our tails wag like crazy.

Life is pretty great around here, and we’re excited to share it with your dog!

Yarra

Resident Vizslas at Vizsla Vacations, home from home dog boarding in Wiltshire.

Hi, I’m Yarra! I was the first Vizsla, born in October 2016, and let’s just say, I’ve always been full of energy and five steps ahead of everyone. I love to play and I’m always up for saying hello—I’m pretty sure EVERYONE loves me (I mean, who wouldn’t?!). After all, you never know when humans might have treats, and if I sit nicely, I might just get one! My humans loved me so much, they couldn’t resist getting me a sister to share the fun with. Life’s never boring around here!

Noosa

Hi, I’m Noosa! I was born in January 2018, and I’m the softer, more gentle one around here. Everyone loves my soft coat and my puppy-like face (I’ve still got it, right?). I’m all about getting Yarra to chase me and play, but when it’s time to relax, I’m a big fan of cuddles—on my terms, of course! Nothing beats curling up with my big sister for a little rest. Life’s a good mix of fun and snuggles!

Anyone who knows us, knows we’re always up for action - whether it’s running through fields, fetching a ball, or chasing after a butterfly just because it’s fun! Our family means everything to us, and their love makes every day brighter. We love being close to them, whether we’re snuggling on the couch or going for long walks together. With our shiny coats and sharp instincts, we’re not just pets - we’re the best partners in all sorts of fun activities. Exploring, playing, and showing our loyalty are what we live for.

We’re known for being playful and affectionate, making us a joy to have around.
