I am Heidi. I am 39. I am an animal lover and general caring person. I have two children, ages 14 and 16. My children love the fact that i look after animals. They will help out if i ask. They are also very understanding, so they do not interfere with animals without my permission. They understand the distress this can cause to an animal who is not suited to being handled. I love building a bond with the animals that stay. They really do, recognize their surroundings after their 2nd or 3rd stay in most cases. This makes for a more relaxing stay away from home for them.
I was boarding for a while and stopped because of personal circumstances. So if any of my old customers are reading this..... I did not keep any old contact details. So please do contact me if you want to use me, now I have started up again. I would have notified you, if I still had the contact details. It would be so lovely to see all of my old boarders, see how they are getting on and I’d hope to think, likewise they would love to visit me too 😊
I have a large garden. Also quite a large house. I like to accomodate for as much like for like that each pet has been useds to. If they are used to living outside, i can provide a hutch and run. This can be on a concrete stand or grass area. I can lay wire under grass runs if they are escape artist or diggers, so they can still enjoy their graze. Also if they are internal animals i can find a space inside. They can stay inside and have their own inside run to exercise in. Also they can go in a run during day if they are used to that also.
I have external hutches and internal hutches/ cages.
I am happy to use their own set ups also, if you would prefer to bring them along.
I like to send whats app or email updates whilst you are away. This helps keep your and other family members minds at ease whilst you are relaxing on holiday or busy with responsibility's.
Internal and external runs are available. I have lots of space to accommodate for grass area, hard standing and carpet/ hard floor inside. Me and my children do pay a lot of attention to each individual pet. We can discuss their likes and dislikes. I keep a report on each pet, so as they have and are treated in the manner they are used to.
All cages and hutches are disinfected before a new pet stays. There is fresh water provided every day. Dependent on the dietary requirements. I like to give each a treat bar, fresh fruit/ vegetables everyday. Hay on tap. I can supply dry food for all small animals, so there will always be that available. But from experience, changing their dry food does tend to upset their tummy's. If you would like to provide they're dry food this may be better for them, but i am also happy to provide this.
I will groom the animals whilst they stay here. I am also happy to clip nails.
Rabbit £10 per hutch per night
Guinea pig £8 per night
Hamsters £2 a night
Bird £5 a night
reptiles £5 a night
mice £2 a night and any other animal im happy to discuss
grooming and claws clipping are all inclusive of price.
We placed our two year old bunny, Pepsi, with Heidi and her family twice over the recent school summer holidays. Heidi is clearly very passionate about animals and formed a great bond with Pepsi from the get go. She was very attentive to Pepsi's welfare and needs and made good suggestions of how she could ensure his set up/routine could best be maintained during his stay. Pepsi was given a large amount of space and lots of play things to engaged and entertain him. Throughout the week we were treated to numerus videos and photo shots of him in action which was very reassuring for my young daughter. I couldn't recommend Heidi's Pet Hotel enough to pet owners considering boarding for their animals. I have to say that Pepsi returned home from his stay a very contented and better socialised rabbit. Thank you again Heidi!

This was our first experience boarding our animals, gary the rabbit and miss hamster, they stayed with Heidi for a week toward the end of August this year. Heidi allowed us to view the boarding area prior to dropping off the animals, she was also very accommodating to both of our animals, including providing a water bottle for our hamster as I'd left ours at home, and provided daily updates, videos and pictures. The accommodation was very clean and she provided Gary with a good sized indoor pen to live in alongside exercise time. Very good quality care was provided and we'll be using Heidi's pet hotel in the future for sure.

I was very nervous about leaving my guinea pigs whilst I went kn holiday but I was reassured as soon as I met Heidi and saw her Guinea pig set up. My guinea pigs were put into a huge two tier cage and had a lovely outdoor run to play in. Heidi very kindly sent me some videos whilst I was away of the guinea pigs which my children loved! Heidi is very knowledgeable and answered the questions that I had as I am a new guinea pig owner! I would highly recommend.

We have been boarding our beloved house bunny, Dave with Heidi for the last three years. Our rabbit is always accommodated with sensitivity and thoughtfulness to his needs, and it is also so obvious that he receives a lot of love and attention in her care. We eagerly look forward to updates of Dave's antics whilst on holiday and would recommend her pet hotel unequivocally.
From Andrea & Rose on
I would highly recommend Heidi - she took great care of our guinea pigs whilst we were away. We loved receiving the videos from her so that we could see what they were up to - they enjoyed their holiday as much as we did!
From Paula on
Heidi is an amazing host. Recently my tortoise stayed with her for a month. I was most impressed by her communication, professionalism and caring persona. She sent me regular pictures and videos of him, explored with me all his habits and took all possible steps to make his stay comfortable. She has excellent facilities at her house. I am very impressed with her service and I know who I shall go to during my future holidays. Highly recommended .
From Sujoy on
Our hamsters Honey and Tinsey loves staying at Heidi's pet hotel and they were both so well looked after. Heidi made sure they had daily interaction and fed them a varied and interesting diet. Before the stay she asked us about their routine and favourite food to make sure they would feel like home when they came to stay. During our holiday abroad, Heidi sent us photos and videos of our hamsters - much to my children's delight! I would definitely recommend Heidi's Pet Hotel to anyone with small animals and I cannot imagine them being better looked after anywhere else!
From Maria on
Heidi has been absolutely amazing with our bunny Charlie. She is always so accommodating and sets his house up just like he has it at home, to make him feel more comfortable. Heidi also sends us pictures and updates of our bunny while we're away, so we can keep up with what he's been doing. Heidi is so patient and so kind, Charlie absolutely loves going there. I would definitely recommend Heidi's Pet Hotel to anyone looking for a hotel for their pet. The picture with this comment is Charlie enjoying his time at Heidi's Pet Hotel :).
From Sarah on
This was the first time I have used Heidi, after not being able to book into two other pet holiday homes that we have used. Heidi did not disappoint fabulous service, invited for a visit before hand to see the layout and discuss any needs that were needed. Drop off was easy and everything was ready for our two Guinea pigs, Heidi even sent my daughter some videos while we were on holiday so she could see they were happy. They had a groom and nails clipped for when we came home. Fab Holiday from home would highly recommend. Thank you Heidi
From Sam Embury on
Heidi is absolutely great and took great care of the rats, we loved the videos from her! She also responded very quickly to our initial enquiries. We will definitely use her again and I don't hesitate to recommend her.
From Amy on
Heidi is a great host and takes amazing care of our 2 rabbits when we go away. They are happy and relaxed and I certainly wouldn't have any issue with recommending Heidi to anyone. She provides regular What's ap videos when we are away which is very reassuring. Definitely a 5 * host.
From kate michael on
Heidi was great at accommodating my guinea pigs in the summer. They were well cared for and the video/photo updates were greatly received. A positive outcome for myself and the guinea pogs knowing that they were safe, healthy and happy. I would definately recommend Heidi and will be using her service again in the future.
From Jenny on
I would certainly recommend Heidi's Pet Hotel to anyone. Heidi looked after our adorable hamster Cookie for over 5 weeks in her lovely home , while we were abroad. In the time we were away, we received texts and videos on a consistent basis. What a great idea to be able to watch live footage of your pet ..it was very reassuring and comforting. Heidi herself is lovely, kind and gentle and her children are on board with helping too when needed. Cookie was very well cared for ! Thank you Heidi, we will be contacting you again.
From Mrs L Gregory on
Heidi came to the rescue when I needed someone to take care of our 12 week old bunny while we were on holiday. He had been injured and needed daily antibiotics and lots of TLC. Heidi and her family were amazing letting our bunny bounce around happily in his indoor run and provided cuddles, toys and regular pictures/ videos. I'd highly recommend Heidi.
