Which animals do you specialize in caring for?
We specialize in caring for birds including parrots and chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other rodents. Our experience also extends to reptiles, both in home and in veterinary settings. While we have cared for snakes before, they are not our area of expertise.
What do you do with my house keys?
To get started with Pet Care with Wild Things, clients are asked to set up a lockbox to store the house keys during the Meet & Greet. Client keys will not be kept by Wild Things for liability reasons. Clients may provide their own or purchase one from us for a low price. Alternatively, clients may forego a lock box if keyless entry is available, only for pet services where the owner is not out of town. If an alternative entry method is not available, the owner is responsible for a locksmith for us to gain entry to care for your pets in the event of a power outage or failure of keyless entry.
What's the cancellation policy?
Exotic Pet Sitting Visit cancellations are non-refundable/creditable after the invoice due date. No refunds or credits will apply for late departure or early arrival home of the client. Holiday Service cancellations do not receive a refund or credit for the deposit. Cancellations made with less than 1 week notice will be charged in full.
