Care or boarding for water dragons (lizard reptile pet-sitting)

$200

Bridgewater SA, Australia

24th Nov 2024

I'm going away for about a month. I need someone to drop in 2-3 times every week to feed my water dragons and check/clean their water filter. The enclosure is kept outdoors. Alternatively you can take the whole enclosure to your place, but safety and transport would have to be figured out. The animals are young and small. They don't bite, but are fast and may try to escape. I'm flexible with details. Previous reptile keeping experience necessary. The picture in the listing is off the web, not one of my animals.

Earlwood NSW, Australia

I need to get a regular person to come to my place once a month (ish) to clean some enclosures + the decorations in them. It can get a bit hands on, takes about 5-6 hours without taking to many breaks haha I’ll have whatever you’ll need to clean it already here & Can’t be cleaning after 9pm Basically all there is to it is.. - - wipe all the deco, ornaments, bowls ect - brush/wash grass mats outside & wipe tanks out + glass doors - soak the rocks from turtle tanks in bath for a couple hours That’s about everything tbh, I can write out any instructions if need be & I’m happy to I put it all back in the enclosures if for example times running short or something, but would be appreciated if it was possible to have it put back/set up or to have some help There’s Pics of everything.. + to be clear, most the time you wouldn’t be cleaning everything, just the ones needing a clean which could be 3 tanks or at max 20 but it’ll never be all of them! I’ll get the animals out prior aswell Due date: Flexible - Due date: Before Thursday, 7 December 2023

Need reptile enclosures/tanks cleaned

$150

Earlwood NSW, Australia

13th Oct 2023

have a fair few reptile or amphibian enclosures/tanks that house my critters.. TO BE CLEAR!! it’s completely safe, no risks involved & I’ll be sure of it. **very good eye to detail ** *** not afraid of reptiles **** Hoping to find someone capable of a full on clean once a month. I’m located in earlwood 2206. It’s a fair bit of work but once ya get going it’s not to bad & can be very interesting, chilled n never ending things to learn about these critters aswell.. anyone is capable to do this job, just have to not be afraid to get their hands dirty or the animals! takes a bit of time to do it all, like about 6-9 hours. I’d partially be helping clean aswell, basically I will whenever I can but not a lot of spare time for me rn. I can sort gloves & figure out any cleaning supplies you’ll need to be able to clean. what needs to be done: summary such as the substrate/rocks, tanks, glass doors, food bowls, decorations and occasionally the aquarium filters, to brush down grass mats.. ect & there’s a little more to it that I’m sure I’m forgetting, but yeah that’s about it.. I’ll hopefully be able to type out some instructions to be more on the safe side & for it to be easier for you to cope hahah but it’s really not as complicated as it seems! I’m only asking for help as I’ve been getting busy lately & don’t want to neglect these beautiful animals ! Let me know what you think? Thankyou saxen

Top Reptile Boarding related questions

You can find reptile boarding facilities right here on Airtasker! In just a few minutes, you can post the details of your gecko or snake boarding needs, sift through several offers, and find a Tasker who fits the bill. Plus, these boarding specialists will be from nearby, so it’ll be easy to drop off and pick up your pet.

First, make sure your pet has adequate supplies. While most reptiles don’t need to eat daily, lizards like bearded dragons may require fresh greens every day. Next, find out if there will be any other reptiles boarding with the Tasker and if they are disease-free. Your pet may need a vet exam before boarding, just to be sure. Finally, orient your Tasker on your pet’s care instructions.

Ask your Tasker about their experience with reptile care, particularly with your kind of pet (gecko, snake, etc.) Inquire if your pet will be the only one boarded during your schedule, or if there will be others around. If your pet won’t be the only one, it’s best to take your reptile for a vet exam and ask your Tasker about their policies for preventing disease.

This would depend on available Taskers near you, the kind of animal that you have, and if you’re okay working with someone with little or no species-specific experience caring for your pet. When looking for a temporary caretaker for any animal, it’s best to ensure that your pet and the sitter will be safe and comfortable. 

What does a reptile boarding service include?

Airtasker’s reptile boarding service is all about having someone watch over your reptile while you’re away from home. This means bringing your pet, their enclosure, and supplies, to a Tasker’s home. This arrangement can give you more peace of mind versus leaving your pet with a well-meaning but busy relative or relying on a house sitter to check in on your pet once a day. 

Though the details may vary depending on your pet’s own needs and the Tasker you hire, here’s what you can expect when you request a reptile boarding service on Airtasker:

Feeding your reptile

Reptiles usually don’t need to be fed very often - some eat once a month, while some may need a daily serving of greens and insects. Make sure to brief your Tasker on your pet’s routine and diet, and to provide your supply of pet feed. To be on the safe side, let your Tasker know where they can buy the food in case the supply runs out during your pet’s stay. 

Your Tasker also makes sure that your pet gets enough water. Reptiles need to stay hydrated and will use the water either for drinking or for bathing. Some pets may need soaking or misting, particularly if they prefer to “eat” water rather than drink it out of a dish, or if they’re about to shed their skin. If your reptile needs misting or soaking, tell your Tasker how to do this. 

If your pet is on medication, make sure your Tasker knows how to give this to your reptile. In case of emergencies, it’s good to give your reptile boarding specialist the contact information of your vet and to let your vet know that your snake, gecko, or lizard is boarding with someone. 

Light maintenance

Lights are an important part of being a reptile owner. Make sure your Tasker is familiar with how the lights in your pet’s enclosure work, and that you bring over some spare UV light bulbs in case any of them burn out while you’re away. Maintaining your pet reptile’s light sources keeps them healthy since UV light helps them absorb calcium.

Tank cleaning

Reptile waste contains bacteria that can cause disease in humans. That’s why part of a Tasker’s job is to maintain a clean tank by removing waste, wiping down surfaces, and disinfecting the enclosure. Tell your Tasker how often this needs to be done and if you can bring the necessary cleaning supplies.
