In-Home Pet Sitting

Benefits of In-Home Reptile & Exotic Pet Sitting

From precise reptile habitat management and avian dietary needs, to the gentle handling of small mammals, I help prevent stress and anxiety often caused by abrupt changes in their environment. Your home is your pet’s safe-haven; as an exotic veterinary assistant, I keep your pet’s world consistent while you’re away.

Pet Care: Your pet will receive dedicated love and attention, including species-specific feeding, fresh water, medication administration — oral, topical, or subcutaneous injections if needed — and enrichment.

Home Care: Visits include general home upkeep such as tidying pet areas, plant care, and mail/package retrieval. I can also alternate lights and blinds upon request to maintain a lived-in appearance.

Peace of Mind: You’ll receive updates including snapshots and details of their well-being and activities, so you can enjoy your time away without worry.
