A West Overton teenager's love for animals has inspired her to potential business success.
Tamzin Shipway turned 13 this week, and has set up a boarding hotel for small pets.
She has already had hundreds of responses to her Facebook site offering boarding, cuddles and nibbles for little critters left at home while their humans go on holiday.
"I want to help look after pets when people go on holiday," said the St John's pupil.
"I like being there for them. They can come and stay here.
"There is a form on the Facebook site that people fill in with instructions.
"We also have spare hatches and runs here at home, so I can look after them here and make sure they get some exercise too."
Tamzin's mum Lisa said she has been thrilled with the interest so far: "Tamzin just loves animals," she said. "She wants to do something with animals when she is older, but she isn't quite sure what yet.
"Interestingly, we have also had a request from someone who has ferrets. Apparently ferrets need looking after too, so the lady has offered to train Tamzin in how to look after them properly. So she is looking forward to that."
After launching her idea on social media just a few weeks ago, Tamzin is taking bookings for her mini pet hotel and already has a rabbit, a tortoise and a guinea pig to look after.
She also offers boarding and visiting for rats, mice, gerbils, hamsters as well as lizards, snakes and tortoises.
Tammy's Small Pet Hotel charges £2 a day for the pet boarding, bed and breakfast - and cuddles are on the house.
Tamzin's little sister Saffron is also helping out. The seven year old Kennet Valley pupil gets busy preparing fresh fruit and veg for the breakfast menu.
She has had plenty of practice so far with her own pets - a dog, cats, a tortoise, a bearded dragon and a gekko.
