Providing the highest standards of care whilst you're away

If you're planning time away and need someone to look after your hens or furry friends, then why not let them have a holiday of their own at Hens and Furry Friends.

You can have peace of mind your chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs and other furry friends are being well looked after in our friendly and secure housing.  

Just bring your pet in a pet carrier to us and we will provide everything else they need until you are ready to collect them.

About us

Based in Hertford, Hertfordshire, we provide a boarding service for your hens whilst you are away and need someone to look after your girls.  We are also now open for rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, gerbils, and hamsters to take their holidays with us too. 

We opened our hennels in 2020 after realising that a lot of local hen owners were struggling to find safe homes for their hens when they were away.  We hosted our first hen boarders (Barbara and Sally) when lockdown restrictions were initially eased and their owner, Jean, was hugely complimentary saying: 

"We wanted to get away and had previously left the girls to look after themselves for a day or so. With more foxes visible during the day in our garden we decided to take them to Neil to look after so that they were safe.  They had a lovely time and we shall certainly use the service again when we next need it”.

Our service has gone from strength to strength ever since, growing as a result of families discovering the joy of keeping hens during lockdown.  We have now expanded our accommodation to include eight dedicated houses and runs for your hens to board in whilst you are away – however long that may be.   

We've also expanded to provide holiday accommodation for rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, gerbils and hamsters (and a few other non-furry pets) due to demand.  

Our accommodation

All of the accommodation that we provide at Hens and Furry Friends is located in the orchard area of our garden.
