Small Animal Boarding in Ottawa, ON

Small Animal Care Services

Small animals may be tiny, but their care needs are anything but small. At Vet Tech Pet Services, we understand the unique routines, diets, and behavioural needs of pocket pets and exotics.


Led by a Registered Veterinary Technician and backed by over 15 years of hands-on experience, our small animal services provide thoughtful, species-appropriate care whether your pet stays with us for boarding or remains comfortable at home with scheduled visits.


From rabbits and guinea pigs to hamsters, rats (a personal fave!), and other small companions, we prioritize gentle handling, careful monitoring, and enrichment that supports both physical health and emotional well-being.

What's Included

Each boarding stay is customized to your pets routine and may include: 


• Feeding according to your pet’s established diet and schedule (including fresh vegetables, hay, pellets, or specialty diets as provided)

• Fresh water replenishment and dish/bottle maintenance

• Spot cleaning of enclosures and litter areas

• Bedding or substrate refresh as needed

• Gentle interaction and enrichment appropriate to your pet’s temperament and species

• Monitoring of appetite, droppings, urination, behaviour, and overall condition

• Medication administration (oral, topical, and select injectables when appropriate)

• Boarding updates with notes and photos 

• Prompt communication if any concerns arise


Small animals often hide illness, so attentive daily observation is an important part of our care model.


Our goal is to provide a calm, clean, and closely monitored environment while you’re away — with thoughtful communication and professional oversight.
