(Feel free to relocate this thread if needed, admins.)
Depending on if my roommate visits her family for Thanksgiving or not, I may need to hire a pet-sitter for a few days. I'm going to fly down to California for the holiday and it doesn't make sense to bring Poppy and the boys for such a short time.
I don't trust the bird store in my area that does boarding to take good care of them just based on the way they treat the birds they have for sale. Ideally, I'd like to have someone come stay at our house to watch them for those few days.
We also might ask our vet if they do boarding. I would trust the vet with their care, and depending on the rates that may be a good option. Still, the relocation combined with our being gone would be very stressful, especially for Poppy, and it's a last resort.
So I wanted to bring it up here and ask if anyone knows of anyone who does bird-sitting in the Willamette Valley area of Oregon. Or if anyone has advice on what to look for in a good caretaker for them.
So yeah, if you have any advice or leads, feel free to respond. Thanks.
edit: It would also be possible for us to drop them off with someone in temporary cages. Overall, I'd prefer them be with someone in a home rather than at a clinic or store.
