About our Small Pet Boarding

We board: RabbitsGuinea PigsHamsters, Mice etc.

After caring for small animals and cat sitting on behalf of family & friends during their holidays, I decided to open up my services to neighbours in Cottam and the surrounding areas. I treat every pet that comes to The Dandelion Pet B&B like my own and you can be reassured your small pets will be fully cared for you whilst you are away. All animals will receive individually tailored care as I only board a very small number of animals at a time to ensure they have a relaxed home from home experience. Any other queries, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Over the years I’ve had many pets including, Syrian hamsters, dwarf Russian hamsters, dwarf Roborovski hamsters, rabbits, guinea-pigs, cats, dogs & fish. I am conscious to ensure my pets have long, healthy, safe and happy lives.

Accommodation:

Dandelion Pet B&B provide home from home family accommodation for rabbits, guinea-pigs, hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, degus, mice, tortoises and geckos. Dandelion Pet B&B is ideal for anxious pet parents who require a more personalised experience.

Rabbits & guinea-pigs are kept in the garden unless agreed separately. Garden stays are not available during the winter. Outdoor hutches can be fitted with cooling fans, motion sensor lights and temperature sensors. All other animals are kept inside the home in a secure room with natural light and no loud noises.

There are no licensing requirements for the boarding of rabbits and small animals, therefore it is your responsibility to establish for yourself that a boarding facility is suitable for your pet prior to booking. Please ask at booking how Dandelion Pet B&B can happily help you assess if this facility is suitable for you & your pet.

Exercise:

I have an enclosed garden with real grass to the rear of my home which is covered by CCTV 24/7. Outdoor hutches have their own built-in runs. Run is closed over night. No free-roaming in garden.

Indoor animals can be offered exercise and enrichment outside their cage but this needs to be discussed and agreed at booking.

Health & Hygiene:

All guests will have a quick wellness check at least twice a day. Food intake and poo will also be monitored. I clean dirty bottoms and can cut out fur mats as needed.

Dandelion Pet B&B only accommodates healthy animals, unless the condition is long term, managed and non-contagious. It your pet requires any extra care or is on medication please discuss with me when booking your stay.

Dandelion Pet B&B strongly recommends that rabbits are vaccinated however Dandelion Pet B&B will take those that have not on certain terms and conditions.

Dandelion Pet B&B cages / hutches / runs / pens will be deep cleaned between guests. Grass rotation for hutch runs & pens to ensure hygiene and a fresh nutritious patch of grass.

Other Services

Dandelion Pet B&B offers a guinea-pig pamper service as an optional extra for boarding guests. This service includes a weight check, nail trimming, fur dematting/trimming, feet cleaning, massage, shampoo & rinse, a warm towel dry and a post-pamper photo. All whilst listening to music uniquely crafted for guinea-pig relaxation. In addition, calming & natural aromatherapy is used to keep your pet as stress free as possible. Please ask for further details. £8 per animal.

Local garden visiting services are available in Cottam, Ingol & Tanterton for outdoor rabbits, guinea-pigs, chickens, ducks and ferrets that would benefit from staying in their own environments. Pet visiting for up to twice daily visits to your garden to provide food & water, bedding top-ups, let out/in of runs, photo updates and quick wellness checks. Please note, garden visiting is a different level of service than boarding and I charge per visit (not per animal / hutch / cage) based on distance. Spot cleans of hutch/cages (change litter trays/bedding/food etc) would be done as standard daily. Hutch/cage full clean outs are also done as needed. Price upon application. In most cases, boarding works out cheaper than garden visiting.

Sophie provides first class boarding for small animals. The best I have ever used. Daily updates with photos and videos. The guinea pigs had a 5 star holiday with her. Highly recommended.
