Board your Small Animals at Austin Guinea Pig Rescue
Another big source of income for AGPR is the funds we raise from boarding. Current rates are $20 per animal per day but, if you have up to three animals that need boarding in the same cage, the second and third animals board for $5/day each! We know how competitive these rates are, so we always welcome tips, which of course go towards the running of the rescue. Please inquire for fees for boarding four or more animals at a time.
For a small fee ($15 for the first animal, $10 per animal for additional guinea pigs), we can also give your pet a mani-pedi - make sure you ask about this service!
You will be asked to provide 50% of the cost of boarding when booking as a non-refundable deposit, and the remaining 50% when dropping off your pet. All payments should be made online through Petstablished/Wagtopia (link below).
If your pet needs to be taken to the vet, additional charges will be incurred. An extra fee will also apply if your pet requires medication during their stay. We are trained and able to give injections, eye and ear drops, topical and oral medications. Specialized medical boarding homes may be able to provide additional specialty and supportive care. You must provide the medications and any extra supplies at the time you drop off the animal with instructions and arrangements for refills, if necessary.
The caretakers at AGPR keep on hand Oxbow Cavy Cuisine guinea pig pellets, and Oxbow/Pet Select timothy hay, and a variety of veggies. We also provide cuddles and compliments.
To book your boarding, please make sure you complete a BOARDING REQUEST FORM to let us know how we can contact you, and to tell us about your animal’s needs and typical behavior. Please also fill out the Emergency Veterinary Care Directive attached to the contract and bring both completed forms at the time you drop off your pet.

Here is a checklist for everything you'll have to bring when you drop off your pet:
- completed boarding contract form (including the emergency veterinary care directive)
- boarding fees
- dry pellets (if your pet eats something other than Oxbow Adult Rabbit or Oxbow Cavy Cuisine)
- hay (but only if it is not timothy hay)
- special toys
- medication (if needed)
- any specific vegetables or other treats you may wish to provide
