What type of carers are available for my birds?
It depends on your set up, quantity and what service you need. For example if you own 1 budgie, and their cage is very portable, you might have your budget stay at a Pet Sitter’s home.
If you own a large avery, or a chicken coop, and own multiple birds, chickens, or large birds, you might book a Sitter that offers Home Visits once daily or twice daily.
If you are away for longer than a few days, a House Sitter to come and stay in your home might be the best solution.
How will a Bird Sitter help care for my birds?
Sitters when visiting can change the cage paper daily, or add a cage cover of an evening. If you have chickens that are free to roam during the day, a Sitter can come past in the mornings to let them out of their coop, and give them fresh feed and water, and then visit in the late afternoons every day to usher your chickens back into their coop for the night.
We can feed them with fresh chopped greens and corn, sprouts, pellets / seed. Natural and Foraging toys. Special diets will be catered for. Fresh water changed twice daily, cuddling and patting, we can give them sun showers, or play their preferred music.
Why Choose PetCloud to Book Bird Sitters?
Strong focus on Animal Welfare: PetCloud provides all Bird Sitters with an animal care training course created in collaboration with the RSPCA. This course ensures Sitters are well-versed in Bird behaviour, dietary needs, and special requirements, ensuring your pet's health and happiness.
Make an impact with your booking PetCloud is part-owned by one of Australia’s oldest animal welfare rescue and advisory organisations, RSPCA Qld.
Police checked Sitters: 100% of Pet Sitters on PetCloud are police checked to ensure our commitment to quality.
Comfort of Home: Chickens, geese, and ducks usually stay in their own coop house and can be let out during the day to roam and safely locked up at night. 20 minute home Visits once or twice a day can be booked, or a House Sitter can stay in your home in a guest bedroom while you are away, this way supervision of your chickens throughout the day while they roam can occur. You will need to discuss the House Sitter's schedule and ask what is possible.
Insured bookings: We understand that every Bird is unique. Our sitters tailor their care to match your pet's personality and preferences. Whether your Bird loves playtime, lap cuddles, or simply observing the world from their cage, we've got it covered.
Regular Food and Water Visits: Birds have specific dietary needs that require careful attention. With PetCloud, our reliable sitters ensure that your Bird’s food and water bowls are filled to your requirements. You can rest easy knowing that your Bird's nutritional needs are being met consistently.
Daily photo updates: Our sitters provide daily updates, including photos and updates about your Bird or Chickens activities and well-being. You'll be able to see firsthand that your pet is in good hands, even when you're away.

Can birds be left alone for a week?
No. Lots of birds, including parrots, cockatoos and macaws, suffer distress when left alone with no human contact. Birds can also contract a bacterial infection in just a few hours if the water is very dirty from them soiling it. If you are heading away, book a Carer through PetCloud to come in twice a day to feed and change the water.
