I offer home boarding for small pets (sorry, currently not cats, possibly if you have a short term emergency) either indoors in my family home, or outdoors in my garden.
Small-Pet Boarding
We do have our own very placid cat and we are able to fully close off and secure the rooms when we have small animal guests staying indoors. The outdoor runs are safely secured to the hutches and fully covered for safety.
You can either call me on 01473 831839 or fill out my Enquiry Form and we can discuss your requirements and whether I am able to accommodate your pets. It would be helpful to know the type of set up your small pet is used to and I will do my best to match with similar arrangements at our home or try to create the best solution possible.
For Outdoor Rabbits and Guinea Pigs I have one standard 5ft two-storey hutch and one pagoda square hutch with secure housing on both the top and bottom storey.
Both Outdoor hutches are suitable for rabbits or guinea pigs and both can either have a ramp to the upstairs or the ramp can be removed for two separate living areas for those rabbits or guinea pigs that cannot live together. I can place any of the outdoor hutches either onto grass or patio slabs, or a combination of both (see photos).
There is an 8ft secure and covered run attached to each of the hutches allowing for plenty of exercise and fresh air and easy access back inside for shelter in wet or sunny/hot weather. The runs can also be joined together to give double the space! (see two of the photos) I will always ensure that your outdoor pets are securely inside their hutch each night with no access to any outdoor space if this is your preference. The hutches are covered at night and protected from strong sun, wind and rain/snow when necessary with thermal covers used in the winter.
For Tortoises we can section off a separate area of the garden so they are free to roam safely. Inside a secure run, which is easily accessible, we can place their housing. The run is covered for rain and shade and is closed up for the night. We can bring them indoors in cooler weather.
Indoor Small Pets such as Hamsters, Gerbils, Mice, Rats etc. in a cage or similar are welcome.
We have space for Indoor Rabbits, Guinea Pigs and Tortoises if they are in a cage, small ‘hutch’, or tortoise box (please provide tortoise box and accessories if possible or let us know how we can make up acceptable holiday accommodation). Please note space in our dining room is limited and not all rabbits can be let out if they are chewers etc!!
We can create an Indoor Small Run either open or covered, single or double height, with C&C square panels as in these photos. Our Stand-Alone Garden Run, or any of our runs if they are available, can be used for outdoor time in good weather.
Indoors our own cat will always be in different and completely separate parts of the house when we have other animals come to stay so there is no need for any interaction between our cat and your pets therefore avoiding any unnecessary stress. We offer our downstairs dining room which overlooks the garden and this is right next to our family lounge which looks out to the front of the Close. Both rooms interlink with bi-fold doors so can provide space for social interaction and/or play with myself and family or your pet/s can have their own space in their own room with peace and quiet if needed. Our home-from-home dining room is modern, comfortable and secure, heated and fully ventilated if and when required.
I ask you to provide your pet’s food, bedding and toys etc., and as well as regular cleaning out, I will maintain their feeding and any grooming routines according to your instructions. I am used to administering medications such as painkillers, ear or eye drops and using syringes and giving injections/tablets etc. I am fully insured to take your pet/s to the vets if necessary.
