Critter Boarding

We offer boarding to small animals such as hamsters, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, mice, and rats, to name a few. We do not provide boarding for cats, dogs, or rabbits unless they have been adopted out by our rescue. Boarding is booked on a first come, first served basis and it is always recommended to book with as much advance notice as possible! Boarding is not the same as our emergency placement program.
What Do We Provide?
  • ​Appropriately sized enclosure for species
  • Appropriate staple diet and access to water
  • Fresh food on a weekly schedule *not daily*
  • Clean litter boxes
  • ​Social out of cage time, as tolerated
  • Medication distribution as needed
  • Grooming as requested
What should I bring for their stay?
  • ​Staple diet (if different from what we feed)
  • Water source (such as their bottle)
  • Any fresh food you wish we feed or would like to donate to the rescue animals
  • A hidey or something with their scent on it to provide them with some comfort/familiarity
  • ​Any medications they take
