HOUSING
Ensures the crate, cage, or tank in which small animals live is intact, safe and that all its components are functioning as intended, especially for a fish tank.

FEEDING & WATER
Ensures water bottles and feeders are not empty, clogged or malfunctioning so that food and water are always available.

ROUTINE
Helps reduce a change in an animal's environment, which alleviates exposure to excessive or prolonged stress that can lead to lowered resistance to illness.

SOCIALIZATION  & BEHAVIOUR
Reassures pets that they have not been abandoned, which helps them from developing behavior problems that could become destructive and anti-social.

HYGIENE & PHYSICAL HEALTH
On a daily or per visit basis, we clean crates, cages, and elimination accidents. We can brush and groom. We can also clean your fish tank when you specify.

MEDICAL CARE
We can administer medical treatment and know what to do during a medical emergency. We have strong bonds with local Veterinarians if an illness or injury is sustained that could put any small animal's health or life at risk.
