Exotic & Small Pet Sitting in Raleigh
Not every pet barks. We match your bunny, bird, ferret, flock or bearded dragon with a sitter who has hands-on experience with that species.
Rabbits & guinea pigs
Fresh hay, greens and water, pellet portions, litter tidying and floor time. We watch appetite and droppings closely — changes matter fast in small herbivores.
Birds
Parakeets, cockatiels and parrots: food and water changes, cage cleaning, covering and uncovering on your schedule, and social time for chatty birds.
Ferrets
Feeding, litter, safe out-of-cage play in a ferret-proofed room and a quick health check.
Reptiles
Feeding (including live insects), misting, heat and UVB lighting checks and temperature notes, exactly as you instruct.
Backyard chickens & ducks
Feed, fresh water, egg collection, coop checks and lock-up within our 7 AM–9 PM hours.
Something else?
Tell us about your pet on the sign-up form and we will let you know if we have a sitter with the right experience.
Why species experience matters
Rabbits, birds and reptiles hide illness well. A sitter who knows what "normal" looks like can spot a skipped meal, a cold basking spot or a fluffed-up bird early, and tell you right away in the visit report. That's why we schedule sitters by experience, not just availability.
Celebrate with us: International Rabbit Day.
