Reptiles

Ball pythons, bearded dragons, geckos, lizards, turtles — we understand humidity, temperature gradients, and dietary needs specific to each species.

Birds

Parrots, cockatiels, budgies, African greys — social creatures that need interaction, enrichment, and consistent routines to stay healthy.

Fish & Aquariums

Freshwater tanks, reef systems, koi ponds — water quality management, feeding schedules, and equipment checks handled right.

Small Mammals

Rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets — gentle handling, proper habitat enrichment, and attention to the social needs of highly social species.

Simple. Straightforward. No runaround.

Tell us what pet you have, when you need coverage, and what care they require. A quick message is all it takes.

We do a free initial consultation to understand your pet's routine, habitat setup, and any special needs — so nothing is guesswork.

We show up

On every scheduled visit, we follow your instructions precisely. You'll receive a photo update after each visit so you know your pet is happy.

"The hardest part of leaving town shouldn't be finding someone you trust with your dragon."

Most pet sitters put reptiles and birds in the same category as dogs and cats. They aren't. A bearded dragon needs heat lamp checks, specific feeding schedules, and humidity monitoring. A parrot needs social interaction and enrichment or they get destructive. A ball python might not eat for a week — and that's fine — but you need someone who knows that.

ScaledSitter exists because if you have a pet that isn't a dog or a cat, finding qualified care has always been an afterthought. We make it the focus.

Your scaled, feathered, and shelled companions deserve a sitter who actually gets it.
