Trusted Exotic Pet Sitting Near You

Hi there, I’m Florence, a vet student currently studying for my second degree and bringing years of experience to my bespoke pet sitting service, Perfect Companion Pet Sitting.

After working with agencies across London, I decided to create a service focused on flexibility, trust, and individual client needs. I care for all; dogs, cats, small furries, exotics, and even large animals. Whether you’re away for a day or a week, your pets will be safe, comfortable, and well looked after.

Happy to travel across London and work around your schedule. Please get in touch so we can discuss your pet’s needs!

We care for a wide variety of exotic pets. Here’s just some of the many animals we look after:

  • Reptiles including lizards, snakes, tortoises and other similar creatures.
  • Amphibians
  • Small furries such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and ferrets.
  • Birds
  • Invertebrates 

We have extensive experience caring for many different types of animals. If you can’t see your pet on the list above, please send us an enquiry and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

"What to say about the wonderful Florence?! She is definitely my cat Sid's favourite person. He adores her and I never have to worry about him when I am away. She will always be our go to person. Thank you so much Florence!"

"Florence was amazing with our three cats for 3 days and two nights. The cats were extremely happy and relaxed with her. We couldn't have wished for a better person to look after our precious fur babies and take care of the house while we were away."

"Florence was reliable, great communication and amazing with my 3 cats, even managing to win over the very grumpy one. I felt really comfortable that they were in good hands. I highly recommend using her!"

    Exotic Pet Sitting Frequently Asked Questions

    Exotic pet sitting involves caring for pets that are less common than dogs and cats, such as reptiles, birds, amphibians, small mammals, or even invertebrates. It includes specialised care tailored to each species’ unique needs,  like habitat maintenance, diet management, and safe handling, to keep your pet healthy and comfortable while you’re away.

    We have experience with many species such as rabbits, ferrets, tortoises, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and spiders. Please get in touch so we can organise the right care for you.

    Before you leave, it’s helpful to fill out the exotics care checklist, prepare all necessary supplies, and make sure your pet’s enclosure is safe and secure. A meet-and-greet with the sitter can also help your pet get used to a new caregiver.

    No problem. We understand that some exotic pets can be defensive or shy. Please let us know if your pet needs a special approach.

    If your pet requires emergency veterinary attention, every effort will be made to take them to your registered veterinary practice. If this is not possible (due to the time of day or distance), we have the right to take your pet to the nearest veterinary clinic.

    As far in advance as possible, especially for busy periods such as school and Christmas holidays.
