Bobtails Boarding

My two rabbits Sweetie and Niffy have stayed at Bobtails many times over recent years. It feels like a home from home for them and they are relaxed and comfortable there. Dawn loves rabbits and Guinea pigs, I believe she and her husband have had many of their own. They have created an excellent, bespoke set-up including a safe and secure outdoor space in the garden where my rabbits like to explore and play. Dawn is very experienced and knowledgeable and I have asked for her rabbit-related advice on more than one occasion. Bobtails is very well run, professional, friendly and caring. I have no hesitation in recommending!

We have taken our guinea pigs to Dawn for years. The facilities are well maintained, very clean and its obvious Dawn really cares for the animals. We are always confident to leave our pets with Dawn and know they are in the best possible hands.

Dawn has looked after our 2 Mini Lop rabbits for 2 weeks August at Bobtails boarding and during last 3 years. The hutches provided are spacious and clean with daily access to a gravel play area on rotation separately from other furry guests. The rabbits get 2 portions of fresh greens and own nuggets, water per day, then cool fans in the sheds on hot days. The rabbits settle well in a double hutch . The range of hutches are frequently fully booked so plan months ahead. Dawn is friendly , dedicated and knowledgeable on rabbit routine habits and health. We get a photos sent on request via WhatsApp reassuring us they are safe. Thanks Dawn.

Dawn has looked after our 3 boys (guinea pigs) twice now. She is so caring and we know the boys are cared for so well meaning we are not worrying about them while we are away. We fully recommend Bobtails and will be using them for sure in the future😁

From Claire and Martin on 01/11/2023

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Dawn is very caring, kind, knowledgeable and organised. The place is absolutely spotless. I had no qualms about leaving my beloved 3 guinea pigs in her care. Book early, she's almost always fully booked, a great indicator in itself. Thank you Dawn.

We highly recommend Bobtails Boarding! Our 2 bunnies have been so well looked after there on a couple of occassions now and Dawn makes everything easy and clear.

Our pet rabbit (Lola), stayed at Bobtails for nine days. I collected her on the 17/07/22. The care provided by Dawn was excellent. The facilities were brilliant. I found Dawn very experienced and knowledgeable about rabbits, which was relief as rabbits are not the easiest of pets to care for. I would definitely recommend Bobtails.

My four Guinea pigs have just had their first week's holiday at Bobtails . From the moment we left them with Dawn I knew they were in very safe hands. Her knowledge, experience and care for her furry guest's is obvious when you first meet her and the set up she has is fantastic. Our piggies came home relaxed and happy. We are so impressed we booked them in with Dawn for another stay in 2 months time.

From Sally Rhodes on 01/07/2022

Have used them for the first time this year. Very good. They sent a photo of them exercising while we were away! Will use again.

From Paul Emerson on 25/09/2021

Bobtails Boarding in Belper offers an excellent pet boarding service. Our guinea pigs are always very happy here and are well looked after. Thank you Dawn. Highly recommend.

From Alison Groombridge on 02/09/2021

I always have full confidence leaving my beloved house rabbit with Dawn when I go away and have used Bobtails several times during the last few years.He is so well looked after and always is happy, well fed, clean and chilled when I collect him. There is a lot of outdoor exercise space, fans and heaters in the sheds on hand depending on the weather and Dawn shows how much she cares for the bunnies and guinea pigs she looks after. I have no hesitation in recommending Bobtails .

From Alison on 31/08/2021

I'm really please with the accommodation (both indoor and out) and care provided for my bunnies. I left them confident they were in a knowledgeable home and would be well looked after while we took our holiday.

From Lauren Harrison on 20/08/2019

Just picked up Hoppy from Dawn's after a two week stay and I can't praise Dawn enough. He had never been in bunny boarding before but Dawn looked after him very, very well. As soon as you meet Dawn she fills you with confidence, she just knows what she is doing and loves rabbits! Don't look anywhere else to board your bunny!

From Mrs Pass on 12/09/2018

I wouldn't want to leave my rabbit anywhere else when we go away. Dawn is friendly, reliable and definitely knows her animals. She provides a brilliant service and I would highly recommend her. I am so glad we found her.

From Jo Johnson on 05/09/2018

We have been very impressed with Bobtails Boarding. Our two GP's have been looked after by Dawn for a week whilst we went away. It was very reassuring to know they were in her care. We will be using Bobtails again and would recommend them to anyone - you couldn't get better. Thanks again Dawn

From Fiona on 25/07/2017

This is the first time our rabbits have holidays with Dawn but this won't be the last. Dawn has taken excellent care of our rabbits. She is very knowledgeable and has many years of experience. The accommodation is excellent, purpose built and the rabbits have good access to the gravelled run area. Thank you for taking such good care of our rabbits, it is great to have found such a wonderful lady offering a top class service.

From Woodland womble on 23/04/2017

I can not praise Bobtails highly enough. Dawn truly loves animals, which is very apparent in the way she cares for other peoples pets. I have boarded many rabbits and guinea pigs at Bobtails for more than 10 years and I can always leave them with confidence knowing that they will be looked after to the highest standard. If a pet is taken ill during their stay then Dawn will expertly assess the situation and take the appropriate action. Cleanliness is of prime importance with Dawn and your pet can be assured of five star accommodation. If anyone is contemplating boarding their pets during holidays etc. I would highly recommend Bobtails as you will be able to relax just knowing that your pets are in good hands.

From Denise Hewing on 05/01/2017

I have used Bobtails for nearly 10 years and cannot recommend them highly enough. Over the years we have had 6 rabbits who have holidayed with Dawn. The accommodation is always spotlessly clean and tidy, with large hutches and space to run around outside. My rabbits love the plentiful and varied fresh food provided daily, chopped into bite size pieces and always come home looking really well for their time there. I can go away and relax safe in the knowledge that if one of my rabbits is ill Dawn will recognise it and look after them accordingly, whether that is taking them to the vet, administering prescribed medicine or feeding them individually. Dawn's expert rabbit knowledge and genuine care and concern for the animals in her care makes Bobtails the only place I would take my rabbits.

From Claire Flux on 24/08/2013

We are so glad that we found Bobtails Boarding in Belper. Dawn offers a professional, experienced and friendly pet boarding service. Our guinea pigs Moomin and Edward were clearly happy and well taken care off, perhaps they wanted to stay! The cages and were spotlessly clean and roomy. Dawn at Bobtails cares for your small animals just like they are her own. Highly recommend.
