Small Pet Staycations
Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, and Hamsters
Do you worry about leaving your pets when you go away? Maybe you even avoid going away altogether because you haven’t found anyone who will know how what to do in an emergency.
Can’t find a boarder that can provide the minimum recommended space and allow your pets the space your provide with your own enclosure 24/7?
Do you like to let your rabbits, guinea pigs or hamsters enjoy supervised indoor or outdoor play but worry that a pet sitter may be inexperienced with this and it may just not be worth the hassle getting them out? So instead they end up in their enclosure for 2 weeks with the bare essentials which isn’t what you want…
Well, with plenty of experience with my own little critters, I know all about the various ways to make sure they’re having a great time safely, and not just leave them to get by with the basics.
Prey animals have very subtle signs of illness which are easily missed by neighbours dropping in and even pet sitters that simply don’t know enough about these particular small furries.
I have tonnes of experience with picking up early signs of illness, and equally know what ISN’T a cause for concern, so you never have to worry while you’re away! Whichever package you opt for, health comes first and you can be rest assured your critters will be in the best care with daily health checks.
Please note that there is LIMITED AVAILABILITY – bookings are subject to a meet and greet to check suitability.
When you enrol with Little Critter Care, your pet becomes part of my little critter family. This is why having a few select number of clients is important to me, so that I can prioritise availability for them, as they build trust with me which can take time and patience, particularly with prey animals. I am not travelling from house to house each day like many pet sitters, so should an emergency arise, they can be my top priority.

Testimonials

We are so impressed
“We’ve had the pleasure of having Lucy look after our hamster (Katie) while away on holiday a couple of times now and we are so impressed by how professional, caring and thorough she is. The daily updates are great and really help ease the mind when away. She’s also been a great fountain of knowledge with our hamster when I’ve had questions around care/health. Thank you Lucy!”

We would definitely recommend her
“Lucy has been trimming our rabbits nails regularly. One of our rabbits is very nervous but Lucy is very good and calm with them. She is reliable and really helpful, gives us suggestions and helps with our general questions about rabbits! We would definitely recommend her.”
-
A natural with animals - I highly recommend her
“Lucy has been looking after our pets for a few years now and it’s always been great! She is all the things you want when you entrust your precious critters to someone – diligent, responsible, sensitive and a natural with animals. I highly recommend her to anyone.”
-
Thoroughly recommend Lucy
“Lucy was fantastic keeping us informed about how the rabbits were doing and checked in regularly to let us know what was happening. I would thoroughly recommend her to look after your pets.”
-
Lucy is absolutely brilliant
Lucy is absolutely brilliant, so reliable and cares for pets as if they were her own! I knew we’d found somebody special when she came to meet our pet rats beforehand and was super thorough with their needs and any additional information we needed to provide, making really detailed notes. She provided daily photos and videos for us which was really lovely
Highly recommended to look after any much loved pets! Thank you Lucy -
I was able to fully relax during my weekend away
Little Critter Care is a wonderful organisation – giving complete service to the little pets left in their charge. My indoor cat was very happy to be visited and Lucy took time to feed, play and groom him – to say nothing of regular picture updates of his antics !
It meant I was able to fully relax during my weekend away which was very special and much appreciated.
Highly recommended if you are going away this summer ! -
Lucy really took the time and effort to get to know them and get them to trust her
We can’t recommend Lucy enough, from the first visit our cats were totally relaxed with her, came when called and spent time sitting on her lap, which is unusual as our cats can take a while to warm to people and have not come home for days on end in the past! Lucy really took the time and effort to get to know them and get them to trust her. We will definitely be using Lucy again.

Our nervous cat loved her
“Lucy did a fantastic job of looking after our cat while we were away. Our normally nervous cat loved her immediately and she gave us regular updates on how he was. We would definitely book her again.”
