Small Paws Boarding was created in 2013, we wanted luxury, specialist boarding for our own pets whilst we went away and we really struggled to find someone who loved animals like we do.

So we created a luxury small animal boarding hotel catering for all types of small domesticated pets. So you can go on your holidays knowing your animals are on their holibobs too. We supply updates and photos whilst you’re away.

We provide luxury rooms and accommodation. Our largest rabbit room is 8 x 10 with an outdoor run too, this is the largest holiday boarding for rabbits in Nottinghamshire and possibly in the uk. The rooms heated/air con and totally set up for your pets specification and likes. Our smallest rooms are 3x8 for guineas and rabbits. All above minimum requirements in the uk.

We also cater for other animals too with vivariums for hedgehogs and tortoises etc and large enclosures for birds.

Emma is a fully qualified animal behaviourist and vet assistant qualified and has worked in the animal training and care sector for over 30 years. Building knowledge and understanding of especially exotic animals. We are qualified to admin medications and injections under vet instructions too. We also have 14/7 access to our vets, who are amazing and visit onsite when required.

Small Paws is dedicated to animal care and making sure that luxury isn’t just for humans.
