Introduction
Not all animal lovers are equal. For example, Ophidiophobia, more commonly known as a fear of snakes, is a real and common condition. The friend, neighbor or family member who normally cares for your pets you are away may have it, and yes, even some professional pet sitter have it as well. This is not a problem you will encounter at Exotic Pet Pals. Cat and dog owners will be quick to tell you that their pets are truly members of their family. Well, exotic pet owners, like us, feel the same way about their pets. When you travel, you need to find a pet sitter who is capable of caring for all of your pets; someone who will give you the peace of mind to be away from those beloved family members. We may specialize in exotic pets, however we also love and care for cats and dogs as well. By using our many years of expertise, both personally and professionally, and by specializing in exotic pet care, we are providing a niche that is missing in the Greater Crofton area. Exotic Pet Pals offers pet sitting services to care for clients' pets and their home in their absence. We also offer wellness services for these pets such as nail trims, medication administration, and pet bird seed-to-pellet conversion. The owner of Exotic Pet Pals has close to 3 decades of experience working with animals, and has spent much of her life learning about a variety of animal species. She respects animals no matter how big or small, and will love your pets just like members of her own family. On top of that, she also is a NAPPS Certified professional pet sitter and will continue to earn CEU credits to keep and renew her certification, staying on top of all the current trends in the pet industry and in regards to pet health. *NOTE: The Reiki energy healing service listed is for pets!

After my previous dog sitter retired, I thought I'd never find another replacement like her. Luck would have it that I found that special team! Exotic Pet Pals has been everything you would want in a sitter and more. I feel their first commitment is to the animals under their care. Secondly is to the owners, you will receive pictures, comments with each visit. It's most reassuring to know your pets are in the best of care. My only hope is that EPP's don't retire anytime soon!!!

Details: Dog • 3 pets • Dispensing medication • Giving food and water • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Short visit (30 minutes) • Three times a day • My home, venue, etc.

Sharon did a great job taking care of my reptiles. She understands the care of exotic animals and removed a big source of stress being away. I would feel very comfortable going on vacation knowing that she is taking care of my animals.

Details: Reptile • 3 pets • Giving food and water • Short visit (30 minutes) • Once a day • My home, venue, etc.

I've used Exotic Pet Pals a couple times when we've gone away on vacation. They make it so stress-free to leave your fur babies in their great hands and knowing someone will be coming to see them daily. I get texts telling me they arrived, photos of my kitties, and photos of the clean food and water bowls. Knowing they are taken care of in their own home makes it exponentially easier to relax when we are gone. I could not recommend highly enough and will never trust my kitties with anyone else.

Details: Bird • 3 pets • Giving food and water • Changing litter or bedding • Short visit (30 minutes) • Once a day • My home, venue, etc.

I have had a great experience working with Sharon and Krista over the past year! They have been excellent in taking care of all my guinea pigs. They’re very communicative and caring. Would definitely recommend if you need some help with your fur babies!

If you're reading this, you're probably in the market for a pet sitter, and if you're anything like (the old) me, the thought of leaving your fur babies with a stranger has you thinking twice about leaving town at all. If that sounds familiar, stop everything and book Exotic Pet Pals immediately! You've hit the pet sitter lottery! We recently moved back to MD, and I'm so relieved to have found them because we go out of town fairly often (sometimes very last minute). Not only are they reliable and amazing with animals, they also have an awesome online portal that makes the whole pet sitter process quick, simple, and pain-free. Just log on, submit your request for services, pay the invoice upon confirmation, and you're all set to go! Then, while you're away, log in at your leisure to check in on your happy pets and see photos and details of each visit. No more wondering if the dog actually got walked, or if the cat ate dinner. Peace of mind at it's finest. Do your pets (and self) a favor and book Exotic Pet Pals...your furry friends are worth it!!!

Thank you! I was that pet owner who felt uneasy leaving my pet babies with a sitter who didn't give me peace of mind, and I strive to not make anyone feel the way I did. So glad I'm accomplishing that goal. Yours are so easy to love on too. :) ~Sharon, Exotic Pet Pals LLC
