We set up our business in 2014, after having trouble finding someone knowledgeable about the special care rabbits require to take care of our own bunnies while we were on holiday! We are Leinster’s Premier Home from Home boarding for small pets, who stay in our home with us, and play in our sitting room just like they do at home! We have 14 of our own rabbits that we show, plus 3 guinea pigs, 10 chickens and a dog, and after years of pet owning, plus more than 6 years now in business with hundreds of happy customers (check out our reviews!), we count ourselves as the Number 1 choice in Leinster for small pet boarding! We also offer guinea pig grooming, nail clipping, pet sitting locally, and Ireland’s only Rabbit Boarding Service, - a residential stay to help get your bunnies ‘loved up’ !
Why not register your pet(s) on our system today, ready to just hit ‘book now’ when you are ready to book your next holiday?!
ABOUT US -
We offer Specialised HOME FROM HOME Small Animal Boarding for your fur baby, close to the M50, and with easy access from all parts of Dublin, Meath and Kildare. We are very experienced pet owners, with a multitude of pets ourselves (14 rabbits, 10 chickens, 3 guinea pigs,and a dog!) and started our business back in 2014 when we had trouble finding someone to care for our fur babies while we were away. We figured if we were having this problem, other people must be too! We breed and show our bunnies, who are very much loved and spoiled members of our family, so we know what specialised care small furries need, and how quickly they can go downhill if you don’t know what signs of illness to watch for. This is a worry for all small animal owners while they are away on holiday, and we wanted to provide the same peace of mind to other pet parents that we ourselves want when we are away! Your pets are spoiled, and treated like one of the family while they are with us, with plenty of cuddles, outdoor and indoor exercise, and good food such as farm fresh hay, fruit and home grown organic vegetables and herbs! This is my full time job so they are checked on regularly during the day, as well as being in ear shot all the time, and cared as if they were one of our own. We have close contacts with small furry specialist vets, so your pets are in good hands if they were to take ill. We also provide texts and pictures while you are away to reassure you they are enjoying their stay! Our online customer portal allows you to add vet information, emergency contacts, and details of your pet’s feeding routine and medical history, so that we have all the information we need to take the best care possible of your pet and can start getting to know them before they even arrive! We are also Garda vetted, so you can rest easy while on your holidays knowing your fur babies are being spoiled by the best!
We cater for rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, mice, pygmy hedgehogs, birds, reptiles, chinchillas, etc
All pets are housed indoors, with the option of exercise indoors or outdoors.

Cages are provided for rabbits and guinea pigs, - for all other pets, we find they experience the least upheaval when coming in their own cages, they are happier in their own surroundings with their familiar belongings around them.
I’m sorry we don’t board dogs, cats or ferrets, but we can offer pet sitting in your own home in Dublin 15 and surrounds for all pets :)
Please note the day of drop off is chargeable, regardless of time dropped off, since we have reserved your pet’s space for them, and prepared their cage. Day of pick up is not charged if you collect in our morning opening hours, but it is if your pet is collected in the evening, since we care for them all day and hold the cage for them, making it unavailable for others.
