Rabbit Boarding and Petsitting (and other small animals)

Our principal for boarding bunnies is we treat them as our own. We are more than happy to accommodate special instructions for your bunnies to minimize anxiety about the transition from your home to ours if at all feasible. We invite you to contact us directly to discuss your bunny’s situation and needs!

General care: Rabbits are housed indoors, in X-pens over a sheet and a blanket, and fed a mixture of organic greens twice daily.  The pens are set up as either a 2′ by 6′ rectangle or a 4′ by 4′ square.  The aim is to provide 4-5 different greens off the rabbit-approved list. We provide bowls of water, unless your bunny prefers a bottle. We give them high-quality orchard grass, although sometimes other hays are mixed in (oat or timothy hay). Litterboxes are filled with bunny-safe wood pellets.  If possible, we try to provide a tent or a box that the bunny can hang out under.

Medical and special needs (extra fees): We have extensive medical experience with rabbits, so if your bunny requires special care, we can usually handle this (would necessitate an extra fee, depending on the extent of care). This could include the preparation of a special diet, injections and sub-Q fluids, or special grooming and bathing requirements. Please contact us before making a reservation to discuss your bunny's medical needs. If your pet's needs are more than we can handle, we may need to transfer them to a vet so they can get the best care. This may result in additional expenses for veterinary care which you will need to cover. We will always try to reach you if there are any issues whatsoever with your bunny.

What to bring: We can provide all the supplies, although some people prefer to provide their own litterboxes, toys, hay, or even pellets. It’s helpful to have these items, especially for the first visit. This can ease a rabbit’s stress level and provide a better transition into our supplies.

Rate (for one rabbit): $30 per day.

Rate (for two rabbits, bonded and in same pen): $40 per day.

We adopted our first bunny, Ophelia, in 2002. And that was all it took for us to get hooked. Since then, we’ve fostered and boarded numerous bunnies for The Rabbit Haven. Many of these were special needs bunnies that required post-surgery care, medication (including injections), physical therapy, and so on. We’ve got several of our own bunnies and are continually amused by their antics and distinct personalities.
