Would you pay me to pet sit your small animals if you were on vacation?
Posted on Nov 16, 2009 under how to choose a healthy hamster | 6 CommentsI’m 13.
I own 2 very healthy hamsters.
I have a dog that doesn’t even care about the hamsters, so he does not try to eat small animals.
I own a fish that is 1 1/2 years old, so I suppose he is healthy. (:
I have researched information on bunnies because I have tried to get my mom to let me own one.
I have a room with a lot of floor space for a small animal/rodent to run around.
I would charge around $5 a day and I know how to care for hamsters, bunnies and fish, but not so much birds, lizards, and turtles.
So my question is: if you had to pay someone to watch your small pet, would you choose me?

My pets are precious to me and I wouldn’t just hand them over to anyone. You would have to answer a few questions before I would even consider it.
-What if my pet has an emergency, would you be able to get them to a veterinarian..even if it was Sunday at 2 AM?
-What if my pet rat slipped out of his cage while you were at school, what would you do?
-What if my pet needed medication everyday, would you remember to give it to him? Would you make a medication sheet to make sure he got his meds.?
-What if I had you watch my 3 rabbits and 2 rats…then never returned to get my pets, what would you do?
-Do you have cages/food/bedding…or would I have to bring my own supplies?
-What if I let you watch my pet, and after I picked him from your house up he got really sick three days later?
…just things to consider

Maybe. If you lived close then you could watch them at my house and then I probably wouldn’t pay 5 dollars, but if you kept them at your house, then definitely. Good luck getting the job

Well, in my opinion you sound very responsible. I don’t know where you live but if you lived near NJ or something, i would definitely let you petsit my pets. I am out of options for my rabbit and hamster for my five day vacation this summer and my other 7 day vacation in july..
