Exotic Pet Care

Birds, lizards, snakes, frogs, fish... and more!

Your exotic pets need an experienced pet sitter

I understand how hard it is to find a pet sitter for exotic animals. I’ve owned and cared for them for years, I have Care and First Aid certifications for several species, and I know from experience how complicated their care requirements can be. For example:

  • Many exotics need specific temperature ranges, lighting, humidity, etc.
  • Some birds are highly social and need companionship and enrichment activities, while other species (amphibians, fish, insects, etc.) are strictly hands-off.
  • Some reptiles eat fresh fruit and/or vegetables, while others require live food – insects, pinkies, pullets, etc.

Which means, you need a pet sitter who knows what they are doing, and won’t get grossed out or take shortcuts.

I will care for your exotic pets, including...

Birds (parakeets, finches, parrots, cockatoos, conures, etc.)
Snakes (pythons, boa constrictors, corn snakes, garter snakes, etc.)
Lizards (iguanas, bearded dragons, leopard geckos, etc.)
Turtles and Tortoises
Amphibians (frogs, axolotls, newts, etc.)
Freshwater Aquariums (fish, eels, crabs, shrimp, etc.)
Outdoor Pond Fish (koi, goldfish)
Arthropods (land hermit crabs, stick insects, tarantulas, etc.)
…and more!

"What exotic pet services do you offer?"

You can book Drop-in Visits and Overnight Care services for your exotic pets. We will talk about your needs at the Virtual Meet & Greet, but here are some common tasks pet parents request:

  • Feed fresh vegetables/fruit, and/or live insects, fish, rodents, pullets, etc. (including vitamin/calcium dusting)
  • Refill water
  • Monitor temperature and humidity
  • Administer medication
  • Spot-clean habitat
  • Monitor molts and sheds
  • Time out of enclosure (for some species)
  • Basic care for feeder animals (feed, refill water, clean/spot-clean enclosure)
  • Care-chart logging

Do you have A LOT of pets?

Some folks I know collect exotic critters like other people collect designer shoes. If you’ve got essentially a home-based zoo, don’t let my “per additional pet” pricing scare you. Let’s talk about how many pets you have and what their care requirements are in our Virtual Meet & Greet, and we’ll work something out.
