As the summer starts to wind down thoughts are already turning to the coming months.

I will be on holiday from 2nd to 20th October but open as usual at half term.

Then as we approach December the diary is already filling up! So if you are looking at a winter get away please get in touch 🙂

Do you have space in your life for two piggies?
Penny and Pedro are a bonded male and female pair currently in foster with me and are waiting for their forever home. They're young, energetic and fun! A little shy but confidence is growing every day.
You can see their profile here but I can also answer any questions you have 🙂

How it started a year ago vs how it's going! (I definitely can't sit in the cages anymore!)
2025 had been an amazing year for The Little Pet Company. August has been busier than I could have imagined, but it's been such an honour looking after all these fabulous little piggies 💚💚💚

🐾 “But It’s Just a Rabbit…” — Why That Thinking Is Costing Them Their Lives 💔

Every week, more names are added to our waiting list. More rabbits. More innocent lives in danger.
And the truth is hard to say out loud:

😢 Some of them will never make it to rescue.

Instead, they’ll be dumped in parks, fields, or roadsides like trash—alone, terrified, and exposed to foxes, cats, dogs, traffic, or worse.
This isn’t dramatic. It’s reality. And we see it happen again and again.

➡️ 80% of the rabbits currently in our care were found abandoned and never claimed.
Why? Because somewhere along the line, society decided that rabbits are “starter pets.” Less valuable. Less deserving. Disposable.

But they’re not.
They’re intelligent, emotional, social animals who bond deeply and feel fear just like cats and dogs.

🐰 This is Unicorn. She was one of the lucky ones—dumped and left behind, but found in time. Now she’s safe. But hundreds more are still out there, waiting for a miracle.

💥 You can be that miracle.
We’re overwhelmed, and we need your help to keep saving lives.

👉 Every pound helps. Every share helps. Every act of kindness helps us show the world that small animals matter too.

Let’s rewrite the narrative. Let’s make sure the next rabbit dumped doesn’t become just another statistic.

2012 to 2020

Wagtails-MK (as it was originally known) started in January 2012 when I decided to leave the world of employed work and start my own dog walking and pet sitting business.

It was a real adventure and within 6 months was going very well. It had become my full time job! I spent my days walking dogs of all shapes and sizes, feeding cats and looking after a wide variety of pets from rabbits and guinea pigs to degus and chickens.

In late 2018 I decided to move away from Milton Keynes so put Wagtails-MK on hiatus until I was settled in my new home, however, it took 18 months to get to that point!

But now I am here and I am ready to open the doors of my home at The Little Pet Company. I can’t wait to welcome all the small pets :-)
