When most people think of pet sitting, they picture dogs and cats.

But for many families, the household includes far more unique companions — parrots with big personalities, delicate reptiles with precise habitat needs, aquariums full of vibrant fish, or small mammals that require specialized diets and handling.

At VIPet Sitter Service, we understand that pet care isn’t one-size-fits-all. Exotic and specialty pets require knowledge, attentiveness, and respect for the details that keep them healthy.  And details matter.

Reptile Care: Precision Is Everything

Reptiles depend entirely on their environment. Temperature gradients, humidity levels, UVB lighting, misting schedules, and feeding routines are not optional — they are critical to survival.

Our team follows documented care instructions carefully, including:

• Monitoring enclosure temperatures
• Checking heat lamps and UVB bulbs
• Maintaining proper humidity levels
• Feeding live, frozen, or specialized diets as directed
• Observing for signs of stress or shedding issues

Whether it’s a bearded dragon, gecko, snake, or tortoise, consistency is essential — and that’s exactly what we provide.

Birds: Intelligent, Social, Sensitive

Birds are incredibly perceptive. Parrots and other avian companions thrive on interaction and routine.

Professional bird care includes:

• Fresh food and water changes (often multiple times daily)
• Cage cleaning and liner replacement
• Safe handling (if the bird is accustomed to it)
• Environmental awareness (drafts, temperature, household hazards)
• Behavioral observation

A bored or stressed bird can develop behavioral issues quickly. That’s why attentive, knowledgeable visits are so important.

Aquarium & Fish Care: Stability Over Guesswork

Aquariums require careful balance. Overfeeding, missed top-offs, or improper lighting schedules can disrupt water quality and impact fish health.

Our caretakers can assist with:

• Scheduled feedings
• Light cycle management
• Water level monitoring
• Equipment checks (filters, pumps, heaters)
• Visual health observation

We follow your established maintenance plan precisely — never experimenting or adjusting systems unless specifically directed.

Small Mammals & Specialty Pets

Rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters, sugar gliders, rats and other small animals each have their own dietary and habitat needs.

Professional care includes:

• Fresh greens and measured feeding portions
• Clean bedding and litter changes
• Safe enclosure checks
• Gentle, appropriate interaction

These animals may be small — but their care is anything but simple.

Backyard Chickens: Daily Care & Egg Gathering

Backyard chickens may seem low-maintenance, but proper care requires consistency and attentiveness. When families travel, flocks still depend on daily tending for their health and safety.

At VIPet Sitter Service, chicken care includes:

• Fresh food and clean water refills
• Secure coop and enclosure checks
• Egg gathering and proper storage
• Monitoring for signs of illness or injury
• Ensuring protection from predators
• Opening and closing coop doors as instructed

Chickens thrive on routine. Missed feedings, unsecured coops, or neglected egg collection can quickly create problems — from spoiled eggs to predator risk.

We understand that your flock is more than livestock. For many families, they are beloved backyard pets with names, personalities, and specific routines. Our structured visits ensure their environment remains clean, secure, and consistent while you’re away. Because expert pet care doesn’t stop at the back door — it extends to the coop as well!

Why Professional Experience Matters

Exotic pets often cannot be cared for casually by a neighbor or friend unfamiliar with their needs. Improper handling, missed environmental adjustments, or feeding errors can have serious consequences.

At VIPet Sitter Service, we believe:

• Written care plans create consistency
• Detailed consultations prevent misunderstandings
• Structured visits protect animal health
• Professional oversight ensures accountability

When you travel, your pets’ specialized routines continue exactly as you designed them.

Respecting the Unique

Exotic pets are often deeply bonded to their owners. They may not show affection in traditional ways, but they depend on precise care and stable environments.  We treat every species with respect — whether it barks, chirps, slithers, swims, or hops.

Because expert care means understanding that not all pets fit the traditional mold.

Your pets deserve knowledgeable, attentive care — no matter their species.

At VIPet Sitter Service, we proudly extend our professional standards beyond cats and dogs to reptiles, birds, fish, and specialty animals. With detailed consultations, documented care plans, and structured visits, we ensure your entire household is cared for safely and responsibly.

Because exceptional pet sitting isn’t limited by species — it’s defined by expertise.
