HOLIDAY BOARDING
We do ask that you book as far in advance as you can as we can get very busy, particularly at peak periods such as half-term, Christmas and the summer holidays. However, we don’t charge extra for these periods.
Our boarding prices are in the table below. If you have multiple guineas NOT sharing a cage, each separate cage/grouping will be counted as a separate booking e.g. two single pigs living separately = 2 cages, therefore 2 singles = 2x £x a night.
Boarding Options | 1 (Single) | 2 (Pair) | 3 (Trio) | 4 (Quad) |
Boarding (on-site)
Quoted per cage required | £7.20 | £12 | £16.20 | £19.20 |
Home Visits (1x daily) | £9 per day (only within 5 miles of Huntingdon) | |||

Membership to Tiny Paws is optional and not required, anyone is welcome to use our services and to seek advice. However there are considerable benefits to joining the Tiny Paws Family. An annual fee of £40 provides a full 12 months from the date of payment – and the fee stays the same no matter how many guinea pigs you have – or you can get the same benefits for £25 for 6 months. You are then entitled to discounts and access to content not otherwise available to the general public. Please visit our Membership page for full information, and contact us directly if you are in any doubt as to what’s included.
HOW TO PAY FOR GROOMING OR BOARDING
Unlike many others, we don’t require a deposit or upfront payment from our returning customers, and we don’t charge for most cancellations. We will continue to operate this way provided the system is not abused, and the following details are understood.
To pay for grooming or boarding, you will be emailed and texted a link to an invoice which is connected to our Square booking system (through which your appointment was scheduled) for the total amount due. Payment is by card, by clicking on the secure link within your email/text.
GROOMING: No deposit required and payment is on completion of services. Your payment invoice will be sent manually, we aim to ensure it is sent to you the same day and we request that you pay the full amount within 3 days. Invoices remaining unpaid after 10 days will begin to incur daily Late Payment fees at a cost of £10 per day, beginning from day 11 post service.
BOARDING: New clients may be asked to send a £10 deposit at the time of their first booking to deter time-wasters; this will not be required once you have used our services in person at least once. To pay the remaining amount, an email and text is sent out automatically on the day of drop-off/start date of cover. You will receive one automatic payment reminder on the date of collection, followed by one reminder 3 days after the date of collection if you have not yet paid, one reminder 7 days after collection, and one final reminder 10 days after collection. Payments made more than 10 days after the stated due date will be billed a Late Payment fee of an additional £10 per day from day 11 onwards.
Payment is preferred by card through the Square system. BACS (bank transfer) or Paypal are accepted, but you must message me as soon as you have paid, so I can update the Square payment system and my own records, and email you a receipt.
We do not accept cash and we don’t carry cash on the premises or on ourselves. We cannot give change if you insist on paying by cash.
