If you’re looking for reliable care for your much‑loved small pets, Little K Pet Care offers dedicated small pet boarding or drop in visits in Chelmsford and the surrounding areas. Whether your companions stay in their own familiar home or come to us for boarding, they enjoy calm, gentle care designed around their unique needs.
Your rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, small birds, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates or fish are looked after in a quiet, stress‑free environment. They keep their usual routines, favourite foods, and comforting smells, helping them feel settled and secure while you’re away.
We provide attentive, species‑appropriate care — from fresh hay and clean bedding to safe handling, enrichment, and plenty of calm company. You can relax knowing your pets aren’t exposed to noisy kennels or busy environments that can overwhelm smaller animals.
Every day is shaped around your pet’s normal rhythm. We pay close attention to how they’re behaving, what they enjoy, and what helps them feel safe, so they remain relaxed, content, and well cared for throughout their stay.
When you get in touch, we’ll arrange a meet and greet to talk through your small pets’ needs. We will take the time to understand their routines, preferences, and any special care they require. This helps us look after them exactly as you would.
Your home is treated with the same respect as your pets. You’ll return to a clean, tidy space, with everything just as you left it.
We are safety‑ and security‑conscious at all times. Doors and windows are kept locked and secure, and we remain mindful of the specific risks small pets can face, such as temperature changes, so you can travel with complete peace of mind.
We keep pricing clear, with options depending on how long you need.
£12 per night
Additional Pet £10 per night
Extended care night 50-100%.
See our Drop in Visits page for prices, and further details.
We’re fully insured, and we take responsibility seriously. This isn’t a sideline or a quick favour, it’s our work and we treat it that way.
We’re also experienced with different ages and needs, including senior pets and pets that need a bit more support. If your pet needs oral medication, or you want the reassurance of first aid behind the scenes, you’re in the right place.
If you’re thinking about small boarding in Chelmsford, or surrounding areas, please get in touch and tell us a bit about your pets. We’ll talk it through and let you know our availability.
