Reptile/Dog/House Sitter Wanted

[chams1]

I am wanting to make it out to the Pasadena show in early November but in order to do that, I am in need of someone to house/reptile/dog sit for the weekend (i.e. Friday night through Sunday night). Just thought I would throw it out there and see if anyone in my area (greater Chicagoland) would be interested.

Here's what the person would be watching/feeding:

33 chameleons (may be less depending on how many are sold the prior weekend)
23 geckos (" ")
1 snake (feeding won't be necessary)
1 argus monitor
2 bearded dragons
2 dogs
1 dragon that lives in my daughter's closet (j/k)

PM me if anyone is interested.

Juli,


Try care.com

Yeah, I know. There is also sittercity.com which is good, but I thought I would try the forum first. I don't HAVE to go to Pasadena b/c there are a couple of local shows going on that weekend too, but I wanted to see if I could get out there for that show instead (found some great flights). You know, just so I could spend time with you guys....

It would be muuuuuuch nicer to spend the week in CA as apposed to IL. Im from Mi and jsut got back from a visit there and its just bitter and nasty in the midwest right now

 

[chams1]

Tell me about it (hence why I want to go to CA instead....). Chicago weather bites right about now.

Are you planning on moving them all or having the sitter come to the house to feed and hydrate them?
I would be able to do it if I was not at school, and would really like to get a chance to learn some stuff about that monitor, but I cannot.
Hope you can find someone competent tho.

As stated, this would be in-home. There's no way I am moving everyone to a different location!

62 pets!!! jeesus that's a lot, where do you keep all your reptiles?

I think I have more geckos than you now.

Too bad you aren't local to AZ. I'd help you out no problem.

Just ask Ryan (Jarosek). He would tell you the same thing..."anywhere there is room". (and he has more than me and lives in a place smaller than mine). While I consider them all pets and treat them as such, keep in mind, however, that some of these are baby offspring and are to be sold.

I'm up to around 30 reptiles? The babies kind of surprised me (wasn't expecting them all to hatch in ~2 months!)
