Let me Introduce Myself ...

My name is Serita Russell, I am the owner of Pigs on Petal. If you have read my about me page you will know that I bred guinea pigs for 2 years, having up to 30 guinea pigs at a time, I loved doing this and still love guinea pigs (especially babies) but it was a lot of work and I wanted to focus my effort on other projects .... including .... Pigs On Petals Hotel.

So I am experienced in guinea pig care, especially after having so many!! I have 6 of my own pets, called Betsy, Agnes, Hatty, Genevieve, Montgomery & Benjamin. I adore ALL guinea pigs and you can be rest assured that your fur babies will be treated like one of my own ...

Whenever we go on holiday we book in with Serita at Pigs on Petals because we know our piggies will be very spoilt and we have peace of mind whilst we are away. Thank you for taking such good care of Luna and Ginny and they will be booking in for more stays in 2025 xx

Mum of Ginny & Luna
