About Us

We specialise in small animal boarding with a personal touch, providing a safe, peaceful retreat for your furry companions while you’re away.

Meet Your Host

Hi, I’m Saskia Saunders, the face behind The Squeak Shack!

Animals have always been a big part of my life — from growing up with dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs to working hands-on in pet care.

Hi, I'm Saskia Saunders, the face behind The Squeak Shack!

Over the years, I’ve worked in a dog grooming salon, where I earned my Animal Care Level 2 qualification (specialising in dog grooming), and later at a veterinary practice as a vet nurse assistant, helping with consults, and surgical aftercare.

I’ve also completed my Level 3 Animal Welfare officer qualification and I’m DBS checked, so you can feel confident your small pets are in safe, experienced, and loving hands.

Running The Squeak Shack from home allows me to offer truly personalised care, ensuring every guest feels relaxed and right at home.

Comfort, Care, and Personal Touch

Every detail at The Squeak Shack has been thoughtfully designed for your pet’s comfort — from soft bedding and fresh food to daily care and enrichment.

We offer guinea pig boarding, hamster boarding, rabbit boarding, and mouse boarding with a hands-on, personal approach.

We’re not a large facility — just passionate small pet lovers offering a trusted, home-based service. Our small pets boarding prices start from just £7 per night, making quality care both accessible and affordable.

Feel at Ease While You’re Away

Whether it’s for a weekend or a longer stay, we treat every pet like family. We understand how much your little companions mean to you, and we’re here to ensure they feel calm, happy, and well cared for throughout their stay.
