Promoting Happy and Healthy tiny VIP'S, with the Highest Welfare Standards, Care and Advice, always at the Heart of what we do and love!

-OR Secondly, our Five Star Rated home from home Small Pet Boarding Service.
(this service normally gets booked up for the summer months so be sure to get in contact in advance). Boarding is strictly for small pets, not for cats or dogs I'm afraid. We also offer diet and care advise for free as part of the boarding service.
So what makes us different?
Well, most standard pet care companies lack the personal touch, the true training to fully understand the animal their caring for and don’t have the time to really stop and spend time with your pets. But we pride ourselves on giving time to your pet each day which includes plenty of play time and attention. The majority of commercial pet care tends to only focus on cats and dogs- but here, we focus our love on smaller critters.
Small Pets are often over looked and presented as easy to care for, low maintenance pets. They are in fact complicated creatures that require expert care and knowledge which can only be obtained from years of hands on work with them and formal training. It’s all too easy for someone to say they care for people’s pets but there is a lot more that goes into it then that claim. Can they tell if the pet is getting sick? Do they know what certain behaviours mean? Can they medicate your pet correctly? Have they actually owned a small pet? Do they know common conditions, symptoms and causes? Do they know what a healthy diet should be for your pet and are they able to help educate the owner if the diet or lifestyle could be better? It should be an answer of yes to all these questions. If it’s a no then in my book, they are just someone who loves animals, not a pet specialist. This is what sets us apart from other pet care services

Saffra looked after our 4 cats (one of whom requires twice daily medication) for a week. She provided regular updates, photos and videos and we were confident they were well looked after. Highly recommended, thank you!
From Lex on
Happy with the service. Had nice updates with pictures whilst we were away. Our Guinea pig came back looking very relaxed.
From Alice on
We had Saffra looking after our two baby boys for 10 days and I could not have asked for a better person to take care of them while we were away. It was a very last minute booking but she accommodated us so well and the service was 10/10. She is responsive, hygienic, provides lots of space, sends pictures and videos of the piggies daily and gives them plenty of cuddles. I could tell they felt so at home with her and I will definitely be sending them to Nibbles and Custard again. Also she has a Vetinary background so your babies will be in good hands! Thank you so much for putting our minds at rest while they were with you. You're great at what you do ☺ï¸âï¸
From Jaanvi on
The service we received was excellent. My 2 guinea pigs were looked after for 10 days and they were very well cared for. The accommodation provided was very clean and they had everything they needed and more. We received daily updates and videos showing how they were doing which were lovely to see and watch. We will happily board them here again next time and would highly recommend.
From Ellie on
Cannot recommend highly enough! Extremely experienced, more than 5 star pet services. Not only is it reassuring to know your pets are in safe hands with regular updates and VIP treatment. Saffra also goes above and beyond sharing helpful hints and tips to make sure your little fur babies are in tip top health. Our two piggies hope to spend all of their holidays here!
From Chloe on
Our piggies, Elsa and Anna, had a lovely stay at Nibbles & Custard pet services. They were looked after very well, and we felt happy to leave them with Saffra. It was lovely to receive photos of them during their stay, and Saffra was great with communication, and replying to emails. Overall, we were very happy with their care and they will definitely be holidaying with Saffra again.
From Lorraine on
Brilliant cat sitter! Came to our home to look after our cats for a few days. One of our cats was recovering from surgery and she was so well taken care of and medication given with no problem. Thanks so much!
From Deepa on
Saffra looked after our 2 guinea pigs for a week whilst on holiday. Her communication was clear and prompt, and whilst away sent us regular updates on how they were doing, including daily photos (which we requested). Very happy with the service and will definitely be using again.
From Dave on
Very happy with the service provided. From first contact, we felt very at ease knowing our cat would be very well looked after. We really appreciated the daily photo updates! We will definitely use again, and highly recommend to others!
From Katie on
Nibbles & Custard Pet Service took fantastic care of our trio of ratties whilst we went away for a week. They were let out for free roam twice a day and we had daily picture updates which was a lovely little touch! The cage was kept clean and fresh throughout and our ratties were treated with fresh veggies throughout the week. I don't think they wanted to come home! Will 110% use them again in the futureðŸ˜
From Sophie on
Saffra did a brilliant job of looking after our two bunnies while we were away for the weekend. I felt 100% relaxed leaving them in the care of someone who has so much experience with rabbits and is super knowledgeable about them. She went out of her way to make sure they had a super clean living space and all of their favourite things, and I really appreciated the updates and photos of them each day. I don't think they even realised we were gone! Thanks so much Saffra, we will definitely be in touch next time we need someone to look after our precious bunnies!! I highly recommend to anyone with rabbits - you won't find anyone better to look after them!
From Georgia on
My ferrets were extremely well cared for and I had no concerns leaving them with Saffra
From Dave on
Saffra took great care of our senior piggy while we were away for a week. Saffra took care of her medication and even sent us daily photos (which let us relax more, knowing she was okay!). We will definitely be asking Saffra to look after her again in the future.
From Ciara Bullock-Hillary on
Saffra did an excellent Job of looking after my bunny Bramble. This is the first time I have used Nibbles & Custard and definitely won't be the last. Definitely five stars Thank you for caring for my bunny so well and for passing on your knowledge on rabbit care Jenny
From Jenny Juggins on
Absolutely perfect in every way! We were apprehensive about leaving our two cats for the first time other than kennels but wanted a service provider who could offer them the same care at home, causing no distress. I was recommended Nibbles and Custard and the service was perfect throughout. From the first home visit to discuss our pets needs, cleaning, routines, feeding, to the actual time we were away all was smooth and we felt confident the cats were being well looked after. We even got picture updates, the house was kept clean and tidy (when our monkeys made a mess) and they didn't seem to be phased with our return which was a plus. Very happy pets and very happy owners. We will 100% be using them for all our family holidays
From Victoria Smith on
My two guinea pigs were looked after brilliantly by Nibbles & Custard Pet Services. One of my piggies has additional needs, and Saffra was able to make sure that all the supplements and monitoring he needed was in hand and I didn't have to worry about him. It was so reassuring to get little updates. The boys give her service 5 stars and so do I!
From Rachel on
Saffy looked after my cat Hope and my bunny Fefi whilst we were away on holiday. Saffy administered important medication to my cat twice daily and was confident doing so. Both bunny and cat were very well looked after and I felt content that they were receiving the best care in our absence. It is hard to find a rabbit savvy person like Saffy, who understands correct rabbit welfare and husbandry, so I had no doubt that Fefi was in good hands if anything abnormal was to arise. We received daily updates and photos which were very much appreciated. I would highly recommend Saffy for all your pet care needs if you are planning to go away and will definitely be using this service again in the future. Thank you so much 😊
From Amber Vale on
Nibbles and Custard Pet Services took very good care of our guinea pigs while we were on holiday. Saffra is clearly organised and very knowledgeable and gave excellent care. We loved getting the daily photos she sent. Will definitely be using the service again.
From Helen on
Thank you Saffra for giving our piggies amazing care while we were away. Having only recently rescued them I was nervous about someone looking after them. Saffra completely put us at ease and she was very caring and knowledgeable and sent us regular updates which we really appreciated. I would 100% recommend her.
From Beverley on
This was the first time (but definitely not the last!) that Saffra cared for our two piggles. She was so pleasant and helpful, flexible to our pets' needs and really understands and loves animals! She went above and beyond in terms of exceptional service. Thank you!
From Sarah on
Would definitely recommend Nibbles and Custard pet services. Our two guinea pigs were really happy and well looked-after, with great communication beforehand about their needs and routines, and frequent updates whilst we were away which were really reassuring. Saffra definitely went the extra mile in terms of caring for the piggies.
From Kay on
Incredibly helpful and friendly, sent me pictures every other day so I new my guinea pigs were well and I could always see that they were being kept extremely clean and very happy! Couldn't be more satisfied!
From Coco on
I met Saffra a couple of times and both I was satisfied with the help she gave me. She came to meet my cat Tokyo before her very first attendance and they immediately bonded really well! She was happy to follow the instructions I gave her and spend some time with him. I also have gerbils, and Saffra was never bothered to look after them. I appreciated the daily updates every time she was coming to look after my furry friends. Her prices are convenient compared to the market in Cambridgeshire and she is definitely a good recommendation!
From Luca Bellomo on
First time using nibbles custard very impressed with the personal service supplied for our rabbit George will most definately use again and would highly recommended
From Gary on
I am so pleased to have found Saffra! She visits our dogs regularly when we are at work, making a fuss of them, having a play and letting them out in the garden. They took to Saffra straight away and we were impressed with her caring approach and knowledgeability. She is also very reliable, which means a lot to us. Saffra looked after our guinea pigs while we were on holiday and again, we were very happy with the conscientious, professional service we received. We really felt the piggies were being giving lots of attention and getting TLC from Saffra - we will definitely be asking her to look after them for us in the future. Highly recommended.
From Annie Neild on
I have used this service for the past two summers. My two rats are always cared for in a highly professional manner. I would highly recommend and never hesitate to use Nibbles and Custard for any pet care I needed.
From Maria MacIntosh on
I would definitely recommend Nibbles and Custard Pet Services, Saffra provided excellent care of my tortoise,Mr T, whilst I was away for 2 weeks she's knowledgeable, professional and personable and really cares for the animals she looks after. I will certainly be using Saffra to look after Mr t every time I'm away in the future. Thank you Saffra.
From Paul Hooper on
A lovely professional service, from making an enquiry to a home visit a quick response. Notes were made about my fussy animals (1 cat, 2 chickens) All the right questions were asked. My pets were beautifully looked after. I have already booked again. Thank you for a lovely 5âââââ service.
From Sara Abraham on
Saffra was amazingly kind and agreed last minute to visit our ragdoll cat for a few days as she unexpectedly needed antibiotics twice a day. Saffra was brilliant, wasn't phased by the medication, which made me feel confident to go away, and sent me pictures and updates to let me know our ragdoll was doing great. Highly recommended.

Our rabbits have just returned happy and healthy from Custard and Nibbles. She was very knowledgeable about rabbits which put my mind at rest. I will definitely use it again.

From Mark Gibson on
Saffra looked after our two house cats, visiting every day while we were away.

I've used Nibbles and Custard for my cats and fish twice and I have super happy with their service. My cats and fish have been well taken care of and my plants were also watered daily! My mind was at ease that my pets and the house were in good and capable hands and it seems like my cats also like the sitter as they come out to her. Thanks very much for your help!
