Frequently Asked Questions

We board Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Rats, and Hedgehogs, and are happy to invite other small animals as guests too. If you don't see your type of pet on the booking form, just ask, we may be able to accommodate.

We will ensure your pet has a supply of hay and fresh vegetables each day. We ask you to bring a good supply of your pet's regular dry food, because a change can sometimes cause tummy upsets.

Our purpose built hutches are ideal for your pet. Standard hutches for rabbits are approximately 3' wide x 1' 8" x 1' 8". Standard hutches for guinea pigs are 2' 4" wide. Our cleverly designed hutches allow you to book a fabulous double sized hutch at almost 6' wide. Whichever sized hutch you choose, all rabbits and guinea pigs are exercised daily in our large, hard-topped out-door runs.

Caged animals such as rats are to be brought in their own cages where they will stay in our warm insulated building, or in our home. Rabbits and guinea pigs are housed in our specially built hutches.

You are welcome to amend your booking. If you need to update us or make a change, feel free to email and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

Occasionally travel can be disrupted. We will be happy to continue taking good care of your pets. Upon final collection you will pay for the extra days stayed.

We understand that sometimes plans change. Although the £5 reservation is not refundable, if you need to cancel we won't charge you for your pet's stay, we want you to come back when you can!

Although Pet-Hotel recommends that your pets are vaccinated, all animals are accommodated separately, so cross-infection is very unlikely.

Pet-Hotel takes the health of it's guests very seriously, and we will give your pet the very best of care. In the event of illness we will contact you asap to discuss your wishes. If we cannot make contact with you, we will take your pet to our local vet. Please be aware that small animals live short lives, and health deterioration is not always apparent, especially as a pet ages.

If your dates are available we will email a link to our secure payment page. Reservations cost £5 by credit/debit card. We will email you another link to pay for your pet's stay a few days before the arrival date.

In addition to the above information:

• By booking at Pet-Hotel you agree to our terms and conditions.

• Prices displayed are charged on a per day basis (e.g. Check-in Monday, check-out Friday = 5 days). A reservation cost of £5 is required to book. The cost of the stay is due prior to you dropping off your pet.

• Any pet not collected after the agreed collection date will be viewed as abandoned and re-homed after 7 days. The owner will be pursued for the full cost of the pet's stay while with us, and the associated costs of re-homing.

• Pet-Hotel does not accept any responsibility for pregnancies as animals not part of a bonded group are always housed separately.

• Owners must inform Pet-Hotel of any medical conditions, any ongoing treatments, and any dietary requirements of their pets.

• If it is necessary to seek medical advice/treatment for your pet, vet bills will be reimbursed by the owners via bank transfer upon collection of their pet.
