Accomodation and Facilities
Tina’s Small Pet Boarding has spacious hutches for guinea pigs and rabbits. The hutches are situated in a barn building. During the day, the solid barn doors will be open to allow daylight to enter the building. The solid barn doors will be closed and locked overnight. During the day and in dry, warm conditions, your pets will have access to individual runs upon request. Indoor and outdoor runs are available.
All of the hutches are cleaned and disinfected between each arrival/boarder. I will do daily spot cleaning of the hutches as well as a once a week deep-clean.
Your pet(s) will not mix or come into contact with any of the other animals staying at Tina’s small pet boarding. Your bonded pets will be kept together wherever possible.
Bedding in all hutches is provided and I use compostable or washable/reusable bedding only. All used bedding from our herbivores is composted. If you have a preference for your pet’s bedding, please let me know.
IMPORTANT: When boarding our smaller furry friends such as hamsters or gerbils, please bring their cage. This helps to limit the disruption caused to them.
ALL PETS: Please bring their regular dry food (if using) for the duration of their stay.
I am happy to provide regular photo and video updates to you, please ask!
Please note that I can only look after small pets. I cannot accommodate cats or dogs during home visits or boarding.
