Tank Sitters in Calgary?
I am going out of town for a few weeks and my regular tank sitters will not be available. Anyone have any suggestions? I do have automatic fish feeders and auto top off, but that would only conver me for about a week.

There's a reasonable community of tanksitters sharing tanksitting duties here on the board .. what part of town are you in and what is the date range you'd need tanksitting for?
|
What exactly will you need done?
My experience is VERY limited. I couldn't handle a crashing tank, but I could manage water changes, testing, target feeding, etc. I live in Huntington Hills, and I'd be willing to help out if you're close. I have never done any tank sitting, though I do watch over a wide variety of reptiles and snakes for a couple in Beddington when they head out of town. Nothing has died on my watch so far. |
Not sure what I would do if my regular house sitter wasn't available. Chaems, geckos, turtles, pond fish, FW, SW, Cats, Dogs. I would need to do a full training seminar for someone new.
Where do you live? |

When/if the time comes, you should prepare a spreadsheet detailing all required tasks (with a places for me to mark off completion times and notes/observances), and we would need to go over it the previous weekend to ensure that I understood everything. Upon completion of my visit(s) I would leave the spreadsheet on the kitchen counter for you, so you could review it. The spreadsheet may seem unnecessary, but it is a very good tool to make sure everything is done when it needs to get done. :) There would be no charge, and while future reciprocation is absolutely not required, the consideration of future reciprocation would be nice. ;) |
I live in Canyon Meadows. I will need a tank sitter for July.
Seriak, I know what you mean. We also have a bearded dragon and a sugar glider, but luckily we have someone to look after them. If, anyone knows of a tank sitter down at my end of town that would be great. |
Normally I would help no problem but I am away most of July myself. Do you need someone for all of July or just a short period in July.

Anthony with Aquarium Medics is a reliable sitter, good person, and decently priced. Contact him. If you need his email, let me know.
