Looking for a trusted reptile sitter in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Weston, or Palm Beach?
Finding someone who understands exotic animals can be challenging. Reptiles require much more than occasional feeding. Their well-being depends on appropriate temperatures, humidity, UVB lighting, nutrition, hydration, and a stable environment.
At Pet & Exotic Pet Sitting, we specialize in caring for reptiles and exotic pets.
Located in Weston, Florida, our licensed and insured pet sitting business offers professional boarding and drop-in visits for reptile owners throughout Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties.
From bearded dragons and chameleons to geckos, skinks, iguanas, snakes, turtles, and tortoises, we understand that every species has unique requirements.
Our Reptile Care Rates
Reptile Boarding: $25 per day.
Drop-In Pet Sitting: $30 per 30-minute visit.
Pet Transportation: Available throughout South Florida.
Our goal is simple: to provide attentive, personalized care while giving pet owners peace of mind during their travels.
Why Choose Pet & Exotic Pet Sitting for Reptile Boarding?
Specialized Knowledge of Reptile Care
Reptiles have very different requirements from traditional pets.
A bearded dragon needs appropriate basking temperatures and UVB exposure, while a tropical chameleon requires carefully managed humidity, hydration, and ventilation.
Geckos, snakes, skinks, iguanas, and tortoises also have distinct dietary and environmental needs.
Understanding these differences is essential.
At Pet & Exotic Pet Sitting, reptile care is an important part of our services, rather than simply an additional option alongside dog and cat sitting.
Personalized Care for Every Species
We understand that even animals of the same species can have different routines.
Age, diet, temperament, enclosure setup, and established husbandry practices all influence their daily care.
Before boarding, we discuss each pet's specific needs with its owner.
Our goal is to maintain familiar routines and minimize unnecessary changes.
A Home-Based Boarding Environment
Unlike traditional boarding facilities, Pet & Exotic Pet Sitting operates from a home in Weston, Florida.
We focus on individualized attention and care adapted to each pet.
Boarding arrangements are discussed in advance to ensure that the animal's housing and environmental requirements can be accommodated.
Licensed and Insured Pet Sitting
Pet & Exotic Pet Sitting is a licensed and insured pet care business.
We hold a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Class III wildlife license.
Acceptance of regulated exotic species depends on applicable licensing requirements and individual circumstances.
Communication With Pet Owners
We understand how important it is to know that your pet is doing well while you're away.
Communication, photographs, and updates are an important part of our approach to pet sitting.
Owners can discuss their preferred communication arrangements before booking.
Bearded Dragon Boarding in Miami and South Florida
Professional Bearded Dragon Pet Sitting – $25 per Day
Are you looking for bearded dragon boarding in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Weston, Pembroke Pines, or Palm Beach?
Pet & Exotic Pet Sitting offers bearded dragon boarding at our home in Weston, Florida.
Bearded dragons are among the most popular pet reptiles, but they require specific environmental conditions and appropriate nutrition.
Temperature and Basking
Bearded dragons rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature.
A suitable enclosure must provide a temperature gradient, allowing the animal to move between warmer and cooler areas.
Basking temperatures must be appropriate for the animal's age and individual needs.
UVB Lighting
Appropriate UVB exposure plays an important role in calcium metabolism and bone health.
UVB equipment, placement, and lighting schedules should be suitable for the enclosure and species.
Nutrition
Bearded dragon diets may include:
Appropriate feeder insects.
Leafy greens.
Suitable vegetables.
Calcium and vitamin supplements when required.
Dietary requirements vary according to age and health.
Daily Observation
Changes in appetite, activity, behavior, and stool can indicate that an animal needs closer attention.
Maintaining familiar routines and minimizing unnecessary stress are important aspects of boarding.
Bearded Dragon Boarding: $25 per day.
We welcome inquiries from owners throughout Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Weston, Pembroke Pines, Davie, Southwest Ranches, Boca Raton, and surrounding areas.
