Pip's House

Hi, I’m Carol and I’ve loved and cared for animals since I was around 9 years of age.  I have shared my life with Guinea Pigs, Rabbits, Hamsters, Mice, Birds, Hens as well as Cats and Dogs.  I currently have 4 guinea pigs and a dog – all from rescue. 

Almost 10 years ago, I left my job in an office, to work with animals.  After trying to find somewhere locally for my own piggies to stay whilst we went on holiday and struggling to find somewhere that I thought would care for my piggies as I would, a real ‘home from home’, I decided to set up 2 spare rooms in our house for luxury boarding – Pip’s House.

I also can pop into your home to feed, let out in the garden and play with your pets, whilst you are out at work or on your holiday. 

I obtained my City and Guilds Level 2 in dog grooming, which I did for some years, although now I just groom my own dog and guinea pigs.  This is how I am confident in offering a mini groom for your piggies, if you’d like for them to have, whilst they are staying on their holidays.

I am a member of RWAF (Rabbit Welfare and Fund) and currently studying for the Rabbit Studies Diploma Level 3

I am DBS checked and I am more than happy to provide references on request.
