To our trans and non-binary friends, we see you, we love you. We are a safe space for you ❤️

A little bit different to our normal posts, but pet parents come in many forms, and I thought this was a great way we can support the trans and non-binary pet parents in our lives.

We know it's Trans Day of Visibility but cis folk - we're looking at you with this one! Visibility without safety isn't enough. This is why it's so important for cis allies to actively create space, push for change and uplift trans voices.

How many did you cross off?

Happy Sunday! ☀

Dino and I are cuddled up with cats on the bed and couch respectively after a busy weekend!

We looked after the goodest boi, Montie, this week, and his family gifted us an early Easter present 🍫😋 (thanks so much!)

Speaking of Easter, YES we are still taking bookings for home visits and small pet boarding 🗓 Send an email or DM to get your booking started!

🧼🛁 Thursday Grooming 🛁🧼

I finally got an opportunity to groom some of our resident piggies today!

🖤 Gertie is one of our senior ladies at 7 years of age, and regularly gets her long coat trimmed. Today she had a hygiene clip to prevent urine scalding, and a bath to freshen up!

🤎 Choccy is also one of our seniors, and his long coat had developed some minor matts. He's now sporting a short back and sides, with a cute little braided rat's tail.

🤍 Lilith is just a grubby girl, so she had a bath.

🖤 Mikki also has long and mostly unmanageable hair, so she got a lil pixie cut that will hopefully keep things tidy for her.

🧡 Theodore is another old man, and his coat was feeling a bit dirty, so he had a bath followed by a cuddle while I doom-scrolled.

🧼 If your piggies need a nail trim, bath or full shave, I'm ya girl! I have availability most Mondays and Thursdays, and some weekends, and lots of availability over the Easter break. Send me a message to book! 📧

Dino and I are very fortunate to have not experienced significant loss or destruction from the current weather situation (other than our flights being cancelled for a weekend trip to Melbourne), but we know others in our community have not been so lucky.

We hope that our friends and followers continue to remain as safe and as dry as possible. ☔

Did you know we also look after birds?

Stormy the cockatiel stayed with us for a few nights while her owners were on holidays. 💛

As well as boarding for small birds and other small pets, we also offer once-daily or twice-daily home visits, perfect for pets who prefer the comfort of their own home!

Boarding starts from $5 per night, and home visits start from $25 per day. Send us a message to have a chat about what would work best for you and your pets!

Is it too late to be making 2024 wrap-up posts? 🙈

We had our biggest holiday period ever in December, with a record amount of animals looked after. We boarded two birds and eleven guinea pigs, and did home visits for three dogs, ten cats, seven guinea pigs and eighteen chickens! Thank you to everyone who trusted their pets' care with us in 2024, we appreciate your support!

Just a reminder, our home visits include:
🐾 feeding your pet/s
🐾 playtime and/or pats, depending on your pet/s preference
🐾cleaning up - washing food bowls, scooping litter, poo patrol etc
🐾 medicating, as required - can even give insulin injections!
🐾 watering plants, collecting mail and taking bins in/out

We also offer boarding in our air-conditioned boarding room for small pets, and we can even cater for pets with additional needs (e.g. medications or assist feeds) as Lana is a Registered Veterinary Nurse.

We hope 2025 is filled with lots of holidays, puppy cuddles, and kitty purrs.

Dino and Lana 💛💜

Happy Holidays from Mati, Vito and Buzz! 💜🧡

🧼 Mati and Vito are brothers with A LOT of hair, so to help them beat the summer heat, they had a full haircut (a BUZZ cut, if you will 😅), nail trim and bath. Their style is giving King of the Jungle 👑 🦁

🏝 Buzz is a handsome young lad who boarded with us for a few days while his family was on a short getaway. He was a quiet boy, but started to come out his shell a little bit towards the end if the stay - I think he finally realised I was the Giver of Yummy Snacks! 🍫

Boarding and grooming for guinea pigs is available year-round by appointment, starting from $5. Send a DM or email enquiries and bookings 📧 🗓

Stay safe this holiday season, and give your pets a cuddle from Dino and I 🧡💜
