PetCloud<\/a> guinea pig sitters<\/a> can look after your guinea pigs while you are away, either through daily home visits<\/a> in your home or by boarding them at the sitter’s place. Guinea pigs need fresh hay, water, vegetables and company every day, so they should not be left alone for a weekend, and guinea pig sitting is worth booking early for school holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
