About our Small Pet Boarding

We board: Guinea Pigs

**Now taking bookings for 2025**

Hi I'm Alice and I run the guinea pig hotel. I have owned guinea pigs since I was 5 years old and my goodness have I learned and grown as a guinea pig owner. I currently have four girls that live in a large outdoor enclosure.

Animals (mainly guinea pigs) are my life! I have a first class honours degree in Animal Welfare and a level 3 diploma in Animal Management. A focus of many assignments at college and university were related to guinea pigs, so you have my absolute promise your furry friends will be well cared for.

I am fully insured.

Accommodation:

To maximise space and wellbeing for all boarders only three setups are available. We have...
1. Suite- 290x60cm or 200cm option
2. Penthouse- 200x60cm
3. Hideaway- 170x90 cm

Each setup is lined with newspaper and hay. This bedding combination allows for natural foraging behaviours to be exhibited.

The setups are 'naturalistic' in design and feature handmade wooden hideaways.

The hotel also has heating, lighting and meshed door. It is situated in a secluded and shaded area of the garden.

Health & Hygiene:

Each cage will be spot cleaned daily and fully disinfected with veterinary grade spray between boarders.

If you pet is on oral medication, I am more than happy (and experienced) to administer whilst at the hotel.

Small Pet Boarding Prices

Prices are dependent on the setup chosen. Prices start from £10 per day for two sharing. Any additional guinea pig is £2.50 per day.

Veggies, forage and grass are included in the price.

Card payment is preferred with payment made in advance.
2-week notice for cancellations.
