Helping Hands Small Animal Boarding

Every animal we board is unique and amazing in their own way. Here are some cool facts about our furry, feathered, and scaly guests:

🐇 Rabbits have nearly 360-degree vision to spot danger anywhere.
🐹 Guinea pigs use over 11 sounds to communicate with us.
🐢 Some tortoises can live more than 100 years!
🦔 Hedgehogs can roam up to 2 miles in one night.
🐭 Rats are so smart, they recognize their own names.
🐓 Chickens remember over 100 different faces — yes, really!
🐾 Chinchillas have the densest fur of any land mammal.
🦎 Many reptiles can regenerate lost tails or limbs.
🦦 Ferrets sleep up to 18 hours but play hard when awake.

We love caring for every one of them — because each deserves special attention.

Did you know?
Owls have asymmetrical ears, which help them locate sounds perfectly—even in complete darkness.

That’s why we provide a calm, quiet environment for all our feathered guests to help them feel safe and comfortable while boarding with us.

Whether it’s an owl, tortoise, or guinea pig, every animal deserves specialised care tailored to their unique needs.

Every pet that stays with us becomes part of our family — from curious chinchillas to cheeky guinea pigs and everything in between.
We treat your little loved ones with the same care we’d give our own.

Me packing for a weekend away: 1 bag.
My rabbit packing for boarding:
✔ 3 tunnels
✔ 2 hay racks
✔ 4 water bottles
✔ Favourite blanket
✔ One sock (still not sure why)

We love seeing what pets arrive with — from entire snack cupboards to random comfort items. Whatever keeps them happy, we’re here for it.

What’s the weirdest or cutest thing your pet insists on bringing?

Heading away soon? Here are a few simple things that can make your small pet’s stay more comfortable:

• Bring a blanket or bedding that smells like home – familiar scents help them settle
• Pack a few of their favourite treats – great for bonding and comfort
• Avoid cleaning their hideout before boarding – their scent can reduce stress
• Include something safe to chew – it helps relieve stress and keeps them busy
• Tell us their quirks – little things like favourite spots or dislikes help us care for them like you would

Little details make a big difference in helping your pet feel calm and cared for.

Message us if you’ve got any questions before their stay!

All money made from our small animal boarding goes straight back into helping rescues.

Every penny supports the care of animals we’ve taken in, covering food, bedding, vet bills and more.

By booking your pet’s stay with us, you’re directly supporting a local rescue working to give small animals a better life.
