Piggy-Sitting Services

For pig-sitting inquiries please contact us at [email protected] to book your piggies' stay with us. Please include your full name, number of guinea pigs you need boarded and if they share a cage or need separate cages and dates you will be dropping off and picking up. ***We are unable to board any guinea pigs requiring medication or syringe feeding.***
If your request is accepted you will be given instructions on the drop off/pick up process.

PLEASE READ:
​Due to a high volume of inquiries and limited space available we are unable to accommodate last minute requests and replies to requests may not be sent until the Sunday after the request is received. We apologize for the inconvenience but we are staffed by a limited number of volunteers who are often unavailable during the week due to their regular jobs. We use our spare time during the week to tend to the guinea pigs in our care which does not leave time for correspondence.

Our pig-sitting capacity has downsized but we provide as much as we can on a first-booked-first-served basis.

Affordable and All-Inclusive

We know it can be hard to find a good pet-sitter when you go out of town. Guinea pigs aren't like our dog and cat friends, and people who have not had experience with them might not be able catch early signs of illness, injury, or stress. Let us take some of the worry out of your business trip, family vacation, holidays - you name it! Your pigs will be boarded at our director or adoption coordinator's home and stay under their personal care and supervision. They have years of experience with cavies, and you can know that your piggies are getting the best care available, at a price that is affordable to you! If you wish, photos of your guinea pigs can be texted or e-mailed to you for enhanced peace of mind.

Can I Bring My Own Things?
