Going on a vacation or business trip? Not sure what to do with your uncommon pets while you're away? We can help!  We offer insured and bonded pet sitting by a Registered Veterinary Technician with 30 years experience.  We care for: 

• All types of birds, from parrots to backyard chickens
• Reptiles
• Amphibians
• Fish
• Pocket Pets like rabbits, guinea pigs, rats and ferrets
• Invertebrates (yes, even tarantulas!)
• Cats (even though we specialize in exotic pets, we love to care for cats as well!)

• Prepare diets and feed your pets
• Provide fresh water daily and clean bowls
• Clean cages
• Scoop and clean litterboxes
• Play with your pet
• Give your bird socialization and cage-free time (for those that are already accustomed to being out of the cage)
• Give medications to your pet as needed (we are experienced and skilled in administering oral and injectable medications and subcutaneous fluids; please see note regarding medical care at the bottom of this page)

We can provide the following services during visits at no extra charge:

• Bring your newspapers or mail in
• Water your plants
• Put your garbage out
• Rotate lights and curtains to give your home a 'lived-in' appearance

Prior to providing care for your pets, we will set up an initial In-Home Consultation to discuss your pets care and routine, diet, medications, behavior, pick up keys, etc. There is no charge for this meeting, and is required for first time clients only. Once you have established a relationship with Fur and Feather, you may contact us for service at any time.
