I have a very unique situation looking for someone to care for my two crested geckos and a corn snake for three days while I’m away on a quick work trip, and because I’ve never used this kind of service before, I’m a little nervous about finding the right person.
My main focus is their safety and making sure their habitats are stable while I’m gone.
* Check temperature and humidity levels for each tank.
* Mist the two gecko enclosures (twice during the visit).
* Refill water bowls for all three pets.
* Check food dishes (geckos only).
Hope this makes sense! Really appreciate you taking on this unusual request!
These pets require a bit more specialized experience than just cats and dogs, mostly around managing the humidity and temperature in their tanks, especially with the drastic temperature swings we see here in Toronto.
The work would involve visiting once a day for about 45 minutes on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of next week, located in a quiet midtown apartment near Yonge and Eglinton.
You’d need to mist the gecko enclosures twice during the visit to keep the humidity up (I’ll show you how), check their tiny food dishes (they eat specialized paste), and refill the snake’s water bowl; the snake is not on a feeding schedule those days, so you don’t need to worry about that part, thankfully.
Access is straightforward with a lockbox I’ve set up, and I will leave detailed, printed instructions right next to their enclosures, but you must be able to follow directions exactly because they are delicate creatures.
Easiest to reach through Citytasker platform if you have any questions or to confirm your visit times.
