Pets are more than just animals– they are part of your family- loved and cared for just like any other member. We respect that at Ashford Small Animal Boarding and want you to feel happy and relaxed knowing that your much-loved pets are cared for just like they are at home, leaving you to enjoy your holiday. We aim to give you complete peace of mind whilst you are apart.

Whether a rabbit or guinea pig, our dedication and skilled knowledgeable team will provide the best care, patience, and love for your pet whilst they are staying with us.
A home from Home.

Your pet will be housed in their own large wooden hutch in an air-conditioned shed-they will not mix with the other pets. There are only ten hutches in the boarding shed- eight very large – and 2 smaller  ones that we would only use for single bunnies & Guinea pigs.

Every hutch has fly screening over the wire doors, there are pull out plastic trays that can be thoroughly cleaned between guests. Each hutch has a large resting shelf, hayrack and internal water bottle holder.

Access to an outside runs is by request, we have a large garden with various sized runs. However we do prefer your pets to remain in their large hutches as we feel they are fully protected here from predators, and disease. We can not disinfect grass areas completly inbetween guests and we do have wild rabbits that visit the garden. 

Rabbits have always been a part of my life. My  first rabbit  was a black cross breed bunny called "poffy"- he lived to the grand old age of 12.

Once I moved into my own house, the bunny bug hit and I've had quite a few over the years, breeding them for show. Our surplus babies that have not quite made the show world have always been homed as family pets and many of these have come back to me to stay as guests, whilst their families have been on holiday. In 2023 we decide to open our boarding facility to other small pet owners as there seemed to be a lack of local knowledgable small animal boarders.  With my 40 years of looking after rabbits to a very high standard- you can feel  happy knowing your pets are in safe hands.
