Hop-It Holidays (Staffordshire)

Second time using Hop it holiday's for our elderly bun. It came to the time in her life that she needed round the clock care instead of the sitter who was visiting twice daily. So pleased with the care, service and whole process.

From Jamie on 28/10/2024

Regularly board our pet rabbits with Tracey whenever we go away; nothing's too much trouble, including looking after one of our rabbits who's incontinent and blind. Prices seem very reasonable, rabbits very well looked after, great to be able to watch them on camera anytime we like while away.

From Leighton Jukes on 02/12/2023

Snowdrop is so well looked after cannot fault the service she gets whilst with Hop it holidays so knowledgeable will help with anything you may be worried about 10/10

From Sarah on 10/10/2023

Have boarded my rabbits here around 3 times now and the service is excellent each time! You get 24/7 access to cameras which means you can check on your animals anytime. The owner Tracey is very knowledge and friendly, and has given me some wonderful advice! Tracey also offers grooming services, and I regularly take my fiesty pair of bunnies for nail clippings also. I really do feel like when I board my rabbits here, THEY are having a holiday too - that's how good the housing is!

From Georgia Nix on 09/10/2023

4 Guinea pigs had 2 weeks with Tracey. She is very caring , knowledgeable and helped us at the last minute. Thank you !

From Victoria on 10/09/2023

Great place to board they took amazing care of our bunny who needed extra assistance and woke up throughout the night to give her medicine. The pens were clean and big and the camera was a lovely addition. Great place!

From Eren on 13/08/2023

Fantastic place! I've taken my hamster twice now. Never any issues and Bella is always well looked after! Cage is cleaned and the camera is available to see her! Can't fault this place it's brilliant!!

From Natalie hughes on 07/06/2023

Thrilled to have found this lovely little place. My Bruno settled in very well and I loved watching him on the camera in his cottage! Tracy groomed him amazingly and found that he may have an infection in his eyes. Took him to the vets and they said that if left much longer, the infection could have ruptured and he would've lost his sight. Can't thank Tracy enough for picking this up. He will definitely be back soon :-)

From Abi on 28/02/2023

Cannot recommend it enough, it was the first time my bunny Nala was in boarding and she settled in so well. They made sure to give her, her daily medicine and the 24hr camera gave me great piece of mind whilst I was away. Thanks for looking after Nala so well!

From Yasmin on 06/02/2023

Honestly, nothing could be better when I came across this insane holiday home for my buns. They had great facilities and they were always binkying around, having fun! Thanks so much Tracey, love you!

From ashleigh on 31/12/2022

Boarders Response:ashleigh, thank you so much for such a glowing review!

Wouldn't send my rabbit anywhere else. Tracey is very knowledgeable on rabbits and my bun is always well taken care of. I like that I can check in on him on the camera too.

From Michelle on 26/10/2022

4 Guinea pigs had 2 weeks with Tracey. She is very caring , knowledgeable and helped us at the last minute. Thank you !

From Victoria on 20/09/2022

Our 2 bunnies had a fabulous stay here. Would not hesitate to use again. Always helpful with advice also

From Laura Flemings on 07/09/2022

We have left Daisy here for few time and it has been a great experience. Daisy been comfortable and well looked after. I always can ask for advise and the owner is very knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks you

From Linda on 28/08/2022

Truffle was so well looked after during his stay & will 100% be holidaying there again. The owners know everything there is to know about bunnies & did so well keeping them cool during the heat wave. Thank you for taking care of our Truffle Bun ❤️

From Charlotte on 21/07/2022

Heidi and Bramble have just enjoyed 10 days at Hop-it holidays. They have been extremely well cared for, lovely large housing with runs and excellent care. Have been using Tracy for over 3 years now, very happy bunnies.

From Linda Bowyer on 13/06/2022

Wonderful service! Kept me fully updated on my bunnies and budgies, and I was able to watch them through the camera feed too if i wanted. Bunnies were very well taken care of, with a grooming and claw clipping, and I was also provided with some great advice from the owners on improved care at home!

From Naomi on 04/05/2022

Fantastic service. Our hamster also comes back happy and healthy. Love the emailed photos and updates which the kids love. Great price and home from home for our hamster

From Nicola Bennett on 25/04/2022

Great service and good price too!! Rabbit was looked after well and will definitely use again in the future .

From Antoni on 24/04/2022

Tracy took great care of our two bunny brothers for a week over this New Year. They are unbonded so they had seperate accomodation outside and one was really spooked by the fireworks on hogmany and Tracy took him in for cuddles to calm him down. I will definitely be using HopItHolidays again :-)

From Carolyn Primrose on 04/01/2022

Absolutely amazing, rolo Loved it there, I got to watch her on the rabbit camera, the took really good care of her whilst I was away. Definitely recommend <3

From Lexi-skye on 05/12/2021

Tracey at Hop-It Holidays was so lovely and helpful. Our rabbits weren't bonded yet but were almost ready. So, whilst we were on holiday she made sure to give them a pen next to each other so they could see each other for the first time and she even swapped their litter trays throughout the stay so that they could get to know each other's scent. This was very helpful. The cameras were a great feature and it looks like the rabbits were happy with their stay. Tracey was also great for giving us advice and we will definitely be using her services again.

From Sophie Allen on 16/11/2021

Second stay for Bob and Max, (Bunnies) both really well cared for, groomed and nails clipped. Wouldn't trust them with anybody else. Brilliant service 🙂👍

From Steve on 20/09/2021

Dolly & Dylan just spent 4 days here-was great getting updates & photos of them during their stay& they have come back completely chilled. Tracey's love & knowledge of rabbits is obvious & I would not hesitate to take my 2 back

From Judith Farley on 11/09/2021

We have boarded our hamster twice with Hop-It Holidays and wouldn't hesitate to leave her again if we are away. She had excellent care and the owner gave us great advice for the ongoing care of our hamster. Thank you for giving us peace of mind she will be looked after!

From Jenny Chambers on 23/08/2021

Boarders Response:Thank you for your lovely review

Rex and Bonnie have recently come back from a 4 night stay , they loved their stay and I can't highly recommend hop it holidays enough , I love that you can view your bunnies on the cameras whilst away

From Laura Ingram on 15/08/2021

Boarders Response:Thank you for lovely review

We have been taking our bunny Arthur to Hop It for a number of years now and can't praise them highly enough. Tracy looks after the rabbits as though they were her own and gives them great care and attention, also keeping us updated with the occasional picture so we know he's also having a great time whilst we are! Also the option to check in with animals via the secure video cameras. Easy online payment and very reasonable rates. We'd not take him anywhere else.

From Rich Bevan on 15/08/2021

Brownlee the guinea pig had a great week at Hop It. Was very well looked after and enjoyed the company of other guinea pigs as he's been on his own since his brother passed away last year. There's web cams should you want to check on them whilst you're away. Thanks again Hop It Holidays.

From Ian on 15/08/2021

Boarders Response:Thank you for your lovely review

Our bunnies stayed together in a very luxurious and spacious outdoor cottage which is great because the layout is very similar to what they are used to. I absolutely trust our pets with Mrs Cook as she clearly is very experienced, extremely thorough and truly cares about each animal she looks after. They seemed very relaxed there from the footage we saw and enjoyed themselves. They were very chilled out when they got home and I hope we can live up to their spa-level experience!

From Rebecca on 08/08/2021

Boarders Response:Thank you for your lovely review

Dixie and I have just had another wonderful holiday at Hop-It Holidays. We were groomed and trimmed, fed fabulous food, lounged around our roomy cottage, exercised and explored when we wanted. Our rooms were serviced beautifully and our butler Lawrence was at our beck and call. Tracey at front of house, is extremely knowledgeable about small furry creatures (and big ones like me) and we know our owners never worry about us when we are here. We can't wait for our next holiday at Hop-It Holidays.

From Big Marv and Dixie on 06/08/2021

Boarders Response:I'm so glad you and your lady friend Dixie enjoyed out stay. Thank you so much for your lovely review

Fantastic service. First time leaving our two bunnies and they had a lovely time. Would highly recommend. Great to be able to see them on the cameras too. Tracey is very experienced and kept us updated on how they were doing. Would definitely use again 😃

From Sue Hughes on 31/07/2021

Boarders Response:Thank you so much for your lovely review

George our Guinea pig has just had a lovely week at Hop-it holidays, Tracey looked after him very well - he is popcorning now back at home 😊

From Nicola Smith on 28/07/2021

My bunnies always stay at Hopitholidays, they love it there as they are always so content during their visit and get excellent care. Tracy is so knowledgeable about her charges I never worry when they stay as I know they are in such good care. Would highly recommend.

From Linda on 23/07/2021

Fantastic! We were so anxious about leaving Quigley with a boarder for the first time, but he seemed to absolutely love being at Hop-It Holidays. We really appreciated Tracey accommodating him in the kitchen pen so he could see people coming and going (he's used to this at home) and loved the fact we could log on and check up on what he was doing on the camera anytime. It really put our minds at ease. As he's free-roam at home, we also worried he might not like being in a pen, but he looked like he was having a great time! We needn't have worried. Tracey's very knowledgeable about rabbits, so we knew he was in safe hands from the start, and he was clearly being fed some good hay and greens while there because his poos have been lovely and healthy and very golden! We're so pleased and very confident to have Tracey look after Quigley for us on future trips. Thank you so much!

From Quigley on 06/07/2021

Boarders Response:Thank you so much for your lovely review, We love Quigley, he is a sweet little man

Hopper our rabbit was very well looked after. I had complete confidence in Tracey who is very knowledgable aswell as clearly loving our furries. Will Definitely use her again Thank you!

From Lisa on 03/07/2021

I would recommend Hop it holidays. My two guinea pigs were well cared for over the weekend & the cameras meant that we could check in on them and see how they were getting on.

From Rebecca on 29/06/2021

I can't recommend Hop it Holidays enough, I've been boarding my buns there for the last 6 years and have never had any worries that they were being cared for as well as they are at home. Everything is of the highest quality and spotless clean. Tracey is probably the most knowledgable person I know (even the vets) about rabbits and other small animals and know she will pick up on the slightest thing that some might miss, therefore giving the animals in her care the best possible chance if they should need medical attention

From Melanie Richards on 07/06/2021

Lovely place to send our Guinea Pig - we've used them a couple of time's and always felt secure that our pet was well looked after. Nice touch with the camera viewing so my daughter could see pet anytime!

From Nickie Smith on 22/07/2020

Brilliant boarding for my bunny. I have used Hop- it a couple of times and would not go any where else now for my bunny boarding. Owner is great, very knowledgable and I can trust my bunny is well looked after and cared for. Highly recommended

From Julie on 08/01/2020

My bunnies always stay at Hopitholidays, fantastic facilities, very knowledgable owner, and very happy bunnies! Would highly recommend.

From Linda Bowyer on 24/12/2019

Friendly and professional , love the 24/7 camera so you can watch your pet, will definitely use again :)

From Maxine thay on 10/11/2019

This is the 3rd time this year both my buns have stayed with Tracey. This time was different though, the eldest had to have his teeth burred a few weeks before our holiday and he still wasn't right in himself. When we dropped the buns off we explained everything that had happened and our concerns with Tracey which she took on board and did her best to reassure us - I left Tracey's knowing full well my buns were in the best possible hands should anything go wrong. On our return my eldest had once again received the loveliest of trims and Tracey mentioned a condition that she believed my eldest bun had after having spent 8 days with him, she offered such great advice and showed us what products we needed to help his diet and lifestyle. I booked my bun into the vets the following day and Tracey's prediction was correct unfortunately, but at least we know now and can start making changes. I really would not board my 2 buns anywhere else! I go to a rabbit ‘Savvy' vet but with my bun being at Tracey's and her knowing what she is looking for we probably got our diagnosis a lot sooner.

From Becky on 16/10/2019

A Spa for Rabbits!! Bobbin always gets the best care at Hop-It Holidays.

From Day on 10/08/2019

First time leaving my 2 young rabbits so very nervous & upsetting, Tracey instantly put me at ease and I knew I'd chose the right boarding facility. The cottage was spotlessly clean, very high standard design and plenty of space for my rabbits have more than a comfortable stay. Tracey's knowledge and approach of running her business instantly put me at ease, she really knows her stuff and how to care for animals. Whilst my rabbits were there they both had claws cut and 1 had a trim all included in the price of the stay! Fantastic value. I already have 2 more stays booked in for this year. If you want a boarding with a friend looking after your pet feel but knowing they are more than well looked after by someone with all the knowledge and love for animals this is definitely the place to board with.

From Becky on 23/06/2019

Thank you so much for looking after and caring for Edith she's come home happy and with a better diet that suits her will definitely be using you again thanks Emma

From Emma moseley on 17/05/2019

Tracey has been looking after my rabbits for the last 3 years. I wouldn't go anywhere else. They are really well looked after and are always trimmed and any knots in their fur removed. Nails are also cut and rumble and sooty love their little holiday. Would recommend anyone with small animals or pets to use Tracey, you won't find anywhere better.

From Carl on 23/04/2019

Tracy definitely knows her rabbits! We've boarded our rabbits with Tracy multiple times over the past several years and we won't go anywhere else. They are well looked after and are clearly happy there with lovely hay and lots of space to hop and play. We love that we can always check in on them on the cameras. Her home made treats also go down well with our buns who get very excited when their hear us get them out of the bags. Overall, I can highly recommend her services.

From Louisa on 21/04/2019

Brillient service and Tracy is very friendly and also gave some good advice for our bunny. Bramble looked very calm and relaxed on the wed cams. Thank you

From Paul on 20/04/2019

I cannot recommend Tracy enough! I have been using her for over a year now for our 2 bunnies and the service she provides is outstanding! She is unbelievably knowledgeable, she genuinely cares about our bunnies and she has been so flexible when i have needed her. My bunny got very sick last year and I took him to Tracy. She knew exactly what to do, she nursed him through the night and took him to the vets when he got extremely unwell. Luckily he pulled through but I don't think he would have survived without Tracy's help. Needless to say I would not trust anyone else with my bunnies!

From Jess johnson on 08/03/2019

We boarded our African Grey parrot with Tracey at Hop-It holidays. She fit us in very last minute when we were let down by another boarder. It was literally an hour as we got to the other boarder and was not happy to leave him there. He was kept in the kitchen which was clean and tidy with a rabbit room mate to watch. We didn't bring many toys with him, but upon return Tracey had bought him toys, bells and treats. We also found he had been having great fun around the kitchen and trying to steal her fruit from the fruit basket. He was let out everyday for hours and we were able to watch him on the camera singing and dancing. We would very happily board him here again.

From Marc Cooper on 26/02/2019

Boarders Response:He was a joy to look after and his noises and dancing were adorable. He even did the birdie song and would wolf whistle all day. A joy to look after even with all the mess and destroyed wooden toys everywhere.

We have used Tracey for a few years now and would not go anywhere else. Viola was under the weather and Tracey nursed her as if she were her own bunny. I can't thank Tracey enough. The accommodation is spotless and are really luxurious. Thank you Tracey!

From Denise on 26/02/2019

Boarders Response:Thank you so much. Its very sad to see Vivi so sick with E.C but i'm glad she is continuing to get better and we hope for a full recovery for her.

We were very reluctant to board our rabbit Fluffs anywhere after having a bad experience in the past boarding at another establishment that caused our other rabbit to be put down from neglect. We talked to Tracey and her passion for rabbit welfare and her extensive knowledge shone through. We were able to view the cottages and pens before we booked and spent at least an hour to chat about our past experience and our concerns. She reassured us that Fluffs would be very well taken care of. The cameras are such a good idea we logged in every day to see a clean pen and happy bunny. I think we saw more of her while on holiday in Spain than when we are home. She looked extremely content and we got to watch her be groomed outside via the garden camera, claws clipped and had time out in the garden in one of the cottage pens even though we didn't pay for a cottage space. We are extremely happy to bring Fluffs back time and time again. We bought some of Tracey's homemade bunny biscuits, forage bags and a hay brick too. Tracey really knows her stuff. Can't sing her praises more. We can now go on holiday whenever we want knowing that Fluffs will be looked after.

From Joanne Nichol on 26/02/2019

Boarders Response:Thank you so much for the massive review. Fluffs was a lovely bunny to look after.

Hop-It holidays looked after my hamster for a few weeks. She was kept super clean and tidy. We where able to watch on the camera everyday while we where away, which was great and gave our little girl the reassurance that she was being cared for and we where able to watch her in the ball every night. Tracey very kindly cleaned and disinfected the exercise ball and disinfected the base of the cage without us even asking to get rid of the build up of mess we couldn't remove. We where delighted at the condition of the house the cleanliness of the rabbits in the kitchen and garden we saw too. Would definitely board again here and recommend Hop-It Holidays to everyone. For £3.50 a night its great value for the work Tracey puts in.

From Mrs Wilson on 25/02/2019

Boarders Response:Thank you so much for your lovely review. We appreciate the time you took to write such an extensive review. Ms Puddle was a lovely sweet hamster and so friendly.

Our rabbits Bobs and Dixie have stayed here numerous times. Tracey and Laurence are very knowledgable and couldn't to more for our rabbits. They are also on hand with advice should it ever be needed day or night. We wouldn't leave our rabbits anywhere else. I cannot recommend Hopitholidays highly enough.

From Lynn Little on 25/02/2019

We have used Tracey for a few years now and would not go anywhere else. Viola was under the weather and Tracey nursed her as if she were her own bunny. I can't thanks Tracey enough. The accommodation is spotless and are really luxurious. Thank you Tracey 🐰

From Denise on 25/02/2019

Boarded a rabbit and a hamster this time and once again my pets were looked after as if they were their own. Highly recommend!

From Pam on 24/02/2019

Our little rabbit is always well looked after here, Tracey is clearly a bunny-lover and she knows a great deal about rabbits and other small pets. She is very well organised, everything is clean and under control. She is always happy to explain things to us, show us around, etc. We know that we are leaving out bunny in safe hands. Happy to recommend Hop-It-Holidays!

From Gavin Livingstone on 24/02/2019

Boarders Response:Thank you so much for you lovely review. Lucky is a very handsome little boy, we love him very much.

The response was quick as our request for boarding for my daughter's hamster was at short notice, so thank you for that. Upon arrival I was taken aback by the smell of the house (small animal poo and wee) and the amount of hamster poo on the floor. But no turning back as we had no other options. I made it clear that the cage must be spot cleaned every day, poo removed and wee areas removed and replaced with fresh bedding. She nodded. Upon return 2 days later, my daughter was dismayed to find that no poo had been cleaned out and neither had the tank been spot cleaned for wee. She had merely given food and put Oreo in her wheel once daily. For somebody who claims a luxury boarding facility, this was absolutely disgusting. On top of this, she handed me back Oreo's ball with poo in it. I pointed that out to her and she said, 'oh' and just shook the poo out on the floor. Narsty! My daughter was so disgusted and upset that she had used her pocket money for such sub-standard care. I rang Hop it Holidays later and shared my concerns with her. She apologised for us being disappointed but said that she would only clean out cages once weekly. No wonder her house stank! She should have refunded my daughter 50% at least, but no offer was made. We came home and gave that cage a thorough clean. If you are a pet lover you must keep your pet in clean surroundings, or else you are not caring for your pet. Never again will we use Hop it Holidays, and neither should you!

From Dee on 24/02/2019

Boarders Response:We are very sorry in this instance that you found our service didn't meet your expectations. We have never had a complaint before about our cleanness or smell of our home in fact quite the opposite. I didn't notice the poo in the ball till I handed it to the owner and this was not dropped on the floor but in a litter tray in a pen that had been vacated not 5 mins before and was going to be cleaned out once the Hamster who was our last guest coming/ going that day was gone. Yes there was a small amount of hamster poop on the floor from another hamster. We sweep and clean the floor multiple times a day. Our usual practice is to clean hamsters once/twice a week, and we wouldn't usually clean a hamster only with us two days. We'll try to be clearer about our policies in future.

Really wonderful service. Tracey and Lawrence go all out to keep our furbabies happy and healthy. I am always secure in the knowledge that they are knowledgeable and love rabbits too.

From Fatima-Zahra Mamoojee on 04/01/2019

Boarders Response:Ty so much Fatima. Leo, Loki and Lana are all lovely bunnies

My two rabbits have stayed with Tracey at bop it holidays lots of times now and to be honest I wouldn’t leave them anywhere but here. It’s great to be able to go away rest assured my babies are looked after to the highest standard. I am able to log into the cameras to see my babies when I’m missing them which is awesome! Its also great to know that ALL rabbits going in and out of hop it holidays are FULLY vaccinated meaning my rabbits are as safe as possible from disease. Tracey has also helped me with pebbles when she has been unwell with stasis and gas. If I could rate hop it holidays higher than 5 stars then I would :)

From Shan ashfield on 13/08/2018

Billy and bobby stayed at hop it holidays for 15 days whilst I was on holiday . I was able to look at them everyday on a live Web cam -brilliant ! They seemed to love it . I Will Definitely Be Taking Them There Again Next Holiday

From Jayne granfield on 02/07/2016

Bobbin was well cared for at Hop-It Holidays. Tracey understood his needs perfectly and Bobbin enjoyed lots of playthings. Thanks also for the invaluable Free advice!! It is comforting to know we have found somewhere caring for our pet whilst we are away.

From june on 07/06/2014

Great boarding facility for our house rabbits - kept safe and warm indoors with someone who understands and loves rabbits. We were able to watch them on holiday via a webcam too :-)

From Stuart on 12/03/2014

Hop-It Holidays really know their rabbits - Stomper took over the kitchen for a week because he didn't like his hutch and I received invaluable nutrition and care advice to get him into peak condition. He is a different rabbit - happy, healthy and looking forward to the speed dating I have lined up for him. Thanks so much!

From Jeanette on 12/11/2013

Absolutely brilliant rabbit boarding home. Tracy is so enthusiastic about bunnies you and you know that they are being well cared for and loved as she provides you with regular updates. I would not hesitate to leave my rabbits in her care again, and I don't think they can wait to go back!

From Hayley Whitehouse on 02/09/2013

Daisy had a lovely time at Hop-it holidays. Was well looked after. Would recommend hop-it holidays. Very knowledgeable and Really cares for bunnies. Thanks Tracey, will be booking Daisy in again.

From Karen Johnson on 18/08/2013

Our rabbit Bernie enjoyed his stay at hop it holidays. Very rabbit friendly and knowledgeable about rabbits hutches were all very clean and really nice to be able to see photos of bernie enjoying himself out of the hutch,while we were away. Have booked again in september.

From Debbie Wilson on 03/08/2013

Our bunnies had a great jolly holiday at Hop it and we would recommend it to all. Thankyou Tracey for looking after our boys so well.

From Maria on 02/08/2013

barry our rabbit has just returned from a weeks holiday at hop-it holidays. He enjoyed his stay so much he would not come out of his carrier when we got home even to see his best friend Bella the dog.It was a very rabbit friendly envoiroment and the owner was very knowledgable on rabbits. I would definitely use again when we next go away

From nick soen on 18/06/2013

So pleased we decided to board our rabbit barry at hop-it holidays! There were a few businesses we looked at using, but he would've been in a hutch all day with access to a small run at an extra cost and i believe rabbits should be out running free not cooped up, so thank god we found these! He was treated like one of the family, ran freely round the house and garden and enjoyed his cuddles. I was updated regularly with photos and status' on facebook and they also do a live stream so you can log on and see what your bunny is upto. In fact he had such a good time he didn't want to come back! Thank you so much for looking after him so well. I would definitely recommend and will definitely use again :)
