Small Animal Sitting Visits
$30 per Half-Hour / Visit
$40 per Hour / VisitYour pet sitter can visit with your little pet(s) anytime between 6:30am and 8:30pm.
Heading out of town? Leave your tiny companions with us. Our sitters visit your home one to four times a day to feed, refresh water, clean habitats, and give your hamsters, rabbits, and other small animals the gentle attention they need.
From busy hamsters and curious guinea pigs to sweet rabbits, playful ferrets, and soft chinchillas, small companion animals show off big personalities and specific care needs. Each pet follows its own routine—some stay active overnight, others enjoy calm cuddle time or relaxed exercise. We tailor our care to those needs, providing daily feeding, fresh bedding, exercise time, handling, and regular check-ins to keep habitats clean, little noses twitching, and your pets happy and comfortable while you’re away.
Included with Our Small Animal Sitting Service
- Feeding & Water: Provide measured food and fresh water daily, checking sipper bottles for clogs and cleaning bowls thoroughly.
- Habitat Maintenance: Spot clean soiled bedding and add fresh material; perform deeper bedding changes/cage cleaning as instructed by the owner.
- Enrichment & Exercise: Ensure the wheel is functional and appropriate size; offer chew toys (hardwood, cardboard) and opportunities for exploration (hamster balls, tubes).
- Hygiene: Set up and maintain a sand bath (chinchilla sand) for coat health.
- Attention: Offer quiet time, gentle handling if the hamster is tame, and enrichment like toys or supervised out-of-cage time.
