We keep visits quiet, consistent and species-appropriate. That means temperature and humidity checks for reptiles, measured feeds, fresh water, tidy-ups and a short update after each visit—without shaking up their routine. Below is exactly what we cover and how it works in Saltaire & Shipley.

Fish & aquatic
Feed per measure, top-ups if requested, light/routine checks.
