About Us
We are a guinea pig boarding, grooming and rescue, based in Southampton, Hampshire; and was set up in May 2023. I specialise in guinea pigs and have also cared for a range of other small pets before including rabbits and hamsters.
How It Started
I got my first guinea pigs for Christmas when I was 8 years old. I started Pampered Piggies in 2023 as I realised that people weren't getting their guinea pigs nails cut due to the prices charged by the vets. In the beginning I just provided services such as nail clipping, grooming and boarding - it then progressed to rescue work!
I am now 21 years old and have found loving homes for over 300 piggies, and have over 10 volunteers who I have personally vetted, helping me look after the ones who are waiting for new homes.
I also care for 18 pigs who either were too old to ethically re-home, or have health issues which would be unfair to put on new owners. They all live in a custom built enclosure in my garden.
I am a huge advocate for guinea pig welfare and do what ever I can to ensure people understand the care guinea pigs require. I use my Facebook and Instagram pages to help raise awareness of guinea pig welfare.

This Is Not A Business
We finance the care of our piggies through kind donations, boarding fees, Piggy services and fundraising. These are spent on food, hay and vet bills.
