THE RAT PACK

Affectionately known as 'The Ratbags', my own girls enjoy regular free roam and a wide variety of enrichment both in and out of their large cages.

Please contact me to book your mischief in for boarding that is tailored to their needs, and read below for testimonials.

A double Critter Nation cage stands with all four doors open. It is filled with naturalistic ropes, nets, perches, ledges, tunnels, plus a large yellow wheel and a yellow basket, all for the rats to sleep and hide and play in.

A brown rat looks out of a round wooden hole and looks to the right of the frame with her left paw raised. Her right paw is supporting her weight on the ledge of the hole.

A black rat sticks her nose under some water in a white dish to find peas.

A grey rat with dumbo ears (ears at the side of her head) and a split left ear stands on her back legs on a ledge. Her frontpaws are on the edge of a grey dish which she is sniffing. There is a pink wicker heart decoration in the background.

A black rat and a brown rat carry between them a small tupperware pot with a white lid. They are stealing the pot which is full of treats and are manoeuvring it into their cage as quickly as they can.

A grey rat with a torn left ear perches on a ledge outside her cage, looking brightly into the camera.

10/10 would recommend Rachel if you're looking for someone to look after your rats whilst you're away.

My 4 boys stayed with her whilst I was on holiday and right from the start she made me feel so reassured that they'd be well looked after.

We had a cup of tea together whilst I set them up in their holiday cage and Rachel took notes about each of the boys and anything specific to look out for whilst they stayed with her.

I felt that no request was too much to ask and since she has rats herself she already knew about good rat care.

I loved seeing daily updates of them and was truly able to just relax and enjoy my holiday knowing that my boys were given the best care.

It's hard to find someone that really knows rat care to look after your rats whilst you're away; I couldn't be happier finding someone reliable that was able to keep their exact home routine going without ever making me feel like I was asking too much. Couldn't recommend Rachel enough for all your ratty needs!

A tortoise sits balanced on top of a terracotta tunnell with his front legs hanging down off the end. He looks relaxed and is just chilling, not far off the floor.

We had 5 rats we needed to be looked after while we went on holiday for 2 weeks. Rachel was prompt with her email replies and was available for the dates of our holiday.

Rachel was really thorough about what would be supplied, the online portal was really easy to fill in and before I knew it, it was time to drop off the ratbags.

I loved seeing the posts on the Facebook group about their adventures, how they were doing and I could clearly see they were having a great time and well looked after. 1 of our boys was really poorly and Rachel did a great job looking after him.

We were delayed returning home and there was no issues with Rachel keeping hold of them until we got back.

I highly recommend Rachel, the service was outstanding, very affordable and great that there was someone local to us that was comfortable with taking in rats. The boys loved her!
