Small Pet Boarding in Barrhaven: Where Your Gremlins Come to Thrive

Small Pet Boarding in Barrhaven: Where Your Gremlins Come to Thrive. The blog.


By Hoomane Pet Care

With fur, fangs & fight-the-system energy.

-hoomane.


Welcome to Hoomane Pet Care, the cozy, slightly gothic, extremely rodent-enamoured corner of Barrhaven where your small pets vacation like royalty while you travel, work, escape, or simply need a break from the tiny furry dictators you love.


You won’t find polished marble floors here.

You will find a dedicated small pet room, an excessive amount of hay, professionals with no chill whatsoever about rodents, & enough enrichment toys to make your guinea pig believe they’ve joined a Renaissance guild.


We are not someone’s cousin who “likes animals.”

We are certified, insured, first-aid trained & irredeemably obsessed with small pets, exotics & all forms of furry, scaly, squeaky chaos.


If your pet has gremlin energy — perfect.

So do we.



What We Offer (a.k.a. The Spoiled Child Package)


If your pet stays with us, here’s what they get — besides unconditional admiration & the occasional dramatic monologue about their cuteness:


🌙 Private Small Pet Room


Yes. A whole room.

Because your rabbit deserves space.

And your guinea pig is important.


🥕 Fresh Veggies, Hay, Bedding Refreshes


Served daily like a tiny medieval feast.

There will be lettuce. There will be dramatic wheeks.


🎭 Enrichment Wonderland


Cardboard castles, tunnels, foraging trays, cozy dens, “No Humans In My Office” signs, and any custom chaos your pet enjoys.

We don’t judge their hobbies.


📸 Photo Updates


So you can scream, “LOOK HOW CUTE MY CHILD IS” at everyone you know.


💊 Medication & Special Needs Care


Eye drops? Respiratory meds? Pain control?

Syringe feeding?

We’ve got the skills — & the patience.


🎶 Calming Music or Aggressively Confident Rap


Depends on your pet’s vibe.

We let them choose their aesthetic.


👥 Two Humans, Zero Chill


60% rodent enthusiasm.

40% everything else.



Who We Care For


• Rabbits

• Guinea pigs

• Rats (we love them. deeply.)

• Hamsters (divine & unhinged)

• Mice, gerbils, chinchillas, degus

• Reptiles, scalies, feathered chaos

• “Uhh the pet store employee wasn’t sure?” — we respect that journey.


No judgment. Just snacks.




This Is For You If…


• You’re traveling & want actual peace of mind

• Your rabbit only trusts people who smell like hay (hello, that’s us)

• Your guinea pig screams for lettuce & must continue this hobby

• Your friends said “I can watch them” & your soul whispered “no”

• You love your pet too much to gamble on a stranger who thinks guinea pigs are “basically hamsters” (they are not)
