Services & Rates
House of Guineas provides specialized in-home care for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, ferrets, hamsters, reptiles and birds across San Francisco and the Peninsula. Our veterinary-informed team brings backgrounds from wildlife rehabilitation to exotic veterinary hospital work, and is trained specifically in exotic species.
In-Home Pet Sitting
Visits in the comfort of your pet’s home for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, ferrets, hamsters, reptiles and birds.
From $85/visit. Twice-daily care from $140/day.
From precise reptile habitat management and avian dietary needs, to the gentle handling of small mammals, we help prevent the stress and anxiety often caused by abrupt changes in their environment. Your home is your pet’s safe-haven; our veterinary-informed team keeps your pet’s world consistent while you’re away.
Every visit includes species-specific feeding, fresh water, medication administration if needed, enrichment, and photo updates. Light home care (tidying, plants, mail) is included on request.
And if your pet ever needs a vet while you’re away — a scheduled checkup or a true emergency — we handle it, from spotting the early signs to safe transport and clear communication. See how vet visits and emergency care work →
