We’ve been in the pet sitting and dog walking business almost twenty years now. We’ve seen and heard it all! One of the questions we consistently hear is “What kind of pets have you cared for?”.
I think the question might be easier if they asked what kind of pets we HAVEN’T cared for?
In almost 20 years of service we’ve pet sat for the usual; dogs and cats. We’ve also cared for a lot of the “unusual” pets; including:
- Guinea Pigs
- Tarantulas (NEVER AGAIN!!!)
- Snakes
- Chickens
- Horses
- Pigs
- Koi Ponds
- Chinchillas
- Sugar Gliders
- Hermit Crabs
- Bearded Dragons
- Geckos
- Ferrets
- Gerbils and Hamsters
- Turtles
- Rabbits
- Birds (Parrots, Parakeets, Cockatoos, Love Birds)
- Ducks and Geese
- Goats
- Fish Tanks (both salt water and fresh water)
- Mice and Rats
As you can see, we just never know what we might encounter on an average pet sitting day.
One thing is for sure, this job is never boring!
