We felt extremely comfortable and relaxed about boarding our two Guinea pigs with Lisa! The process to organise dates was easy, drop and pick were smooth and most importantly the care taken of our little ones was amazing! We also got photo updates! Very happy with the experience! Thank you! I wouldn’t leave my two girls with anyone else.

I recently had the pleasure of boarding my Guinea pigs—Squeeky and Fluffy at Lisa’s House. And I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the friendly and attentive staff who clearly have a genuine love for animals. The facilities were clean, well-maintained, and my Guinea pigs was provided with a comfortable and secure environment. Throughout the stay, Lisa always kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me peace of mind and made me feel connected to my furry friends. The attention to detail, personalized care, and the genuine affection they showed towards my Guinea pigs. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a safe and caring place to board their Guinea pigs.

How we started

We bought our first guinea pigs, Brownie and Snowflake, as pets for our children 10 years ago. I was instantly smitten by their sweet, quirky nature and surprised at how two small creatures could bring so much joy into our lives.

I started visiting local shows and learning more about the different breeds. I fell in love with the tortoise and whites and sourced my own stock from NSW and WA, I then began breeding guinea pigs. From there, my children and I made our way onto the show circuit, exhibiting at cavy clubs across Sydney. We learnt about grooming techniques and what judges look for in a show animal and we met some wonderful people along the way. A highlight was winning Best in Show under an international Judge who came all the way from England.

 

As an animal lover, pet owner and breeder, I have tried to learn as much as possible about guinea pigs so that I can keep my small herd happy, healthy and comfortable. I have come to understand their little quirks – their likes and dislikes – and can tell by their behaviour whether they’re content, afraid or nervous. I can spot when they are off colour and I know how to look after them if they become unwell, including when to seek veterinary treatment. I am passionate about their care and equally passionate about sharing what I have learnt with others.

Social Responsibility

We believe all guinea pigs deserve excellent care so that they can enjoy their lives with us. We provide animals in our care with clean cages and bedding, a safe and comfortable environment, as well as fresh vegetables, vitamin-enriched food and clean, fresh water. We know guinea pigs thrive when they feel safe and secure. We ensure all our animals are handled calmly and with love and care

Mission Statement

Working together to ensure all guinea pigs enjoy their best life.
