The Best Small Animal Boarding Choice in Essex: A Non-Profit Oasis at Hopefield Animal Sanctuary

Finding the right place to board your small animals can feel overwhelming. As a pet owner, you want to ensure they receive exceptional care from individuals who genuinely care for animals. Hopefield Boarding for Small Animals in Essex is here to ease those concerns. Our non-profit facilities are part of Hopefield Animal Sanctuary and we are dedicated to animal welfare AND providing the best small animal care in Essex.

We are Part of Hopefield Animal Sanctuary

At Hopefield Boarding for Small Animals, our mission goes beyond merely accommodating small animals. As a non-profit, every penny earned from our boarding services helps fund the sanctuary's operations. It allows us to care for rescued animals and give them a home for life here in the Essex countryside.

We offer a range of comfortable accommodations specifically designed for small animals. We have large, well-ventilated enclosures that are cleaned daily, ensuring a safe and cosy environment. You can relax on your own holiday knowing that your pet will have a nurturing temporary home that feels just like a mini-sanctuary.

Professional Caregivers Who Understand Animals

Leaving your pet behind can be stressful for both you and your animal. To help manage this, our experienced caregivers are committed to making the boarding experience as smooth as possible. Each member of our team is well-trained in small animal care, having worked with various breeds and temperaments - there's nothing they are phased by!

Our caregivers don’t just feed and clean; they engage with your pets to ensure they receive love and attention. We create tailored care plans for every animal so that their time with us is as stress-free and happy as we can possibly make it.

A Safe and Comfortable Environment

Our facilities are equipped with modern amenities designed for a range of small animals' needs. We board rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, mice, hedgehogs, degus, rats, small snakes, bearded dragons, tortoises, tarantulas and more. If you don't see your pet type on the list, get in touch to see if we can help.

We also prioritise cleanliness, conducting regular inspections and maintenance of all enclosures. We also provide an assortment of toys and enrichment activities to keep your small animals mentally stimulated and happy during their stay, and you are also welcome to bring any home comforts to leave with your pet if required.
