Exotic Pet Care & House Sitting Near Minoru Park (First-Timer)
Message From The Owner
- I'm a first-time poster here on this platform, and I need a very specific kind of pet sitter for my two large parrots (an African Grey and a Cockatoo) at my house near Minoru Park in Richmond for a full week in February.
- They are honestly a handful! This requires someone who has specific experience with exotic birds, as they need fresh chop every morning (you'll need to prepare the fruits/veggies I leave out), and they need to be let out of their cages for supervised play time for at least two hours each day.
- I am really excited about my trip, but also very nervous about leaving them, as they can be quite loud and demanding.
- The daily routine would be morning feeding/chop prep, cage cleaning, two hours of supervised playtime (which means you need to be in the room), and evening feeding/securing them back in their cages.
- I’ll provide all the detailed instructions, and honestly, the house sitting part is very easy—just bringing in the mail and making sure the house looks lived-in, but the birds are the main priority.
- We live on a quiet street, but parking is tough here, give yourself extra time – welcome to Richmond!
- Having your own car is a plus because the transit options here are a little spotty, especially when I need you to be here early in the morning.
- I'm open to discussing rates for this specialized work, but I'm expecting around $50-$60 per day because of the complexity of the bird care.
- This is a great opportunity for newcomers to Richmond with the right skills who are looking for a reliable, single-client gig.
- You must have legal status to work in Canada, and I can send more pictures available once we confirm details.
- Tell me a little about yourself in your message, focusing on any bird experience you have! Thanks so much!
