Three clear options, no padded packages. Whether you need someone for an Oakville afternoon or a steady routine while you're gone for weeks, here's exactly what each one covers.
Daily Bird Sitting is for the days an empty house just won't do, the long shift downtown, the back-to-back errands, the stretch when nobody's home to talk back. Your bird gets real company and a few hours of structure instead of staring at the same four walls until you return.
Each visit covers fresh food and water made up the way you make it, supervised time out of the cage, and the kind of easy interaction your bird actually responds to. You get a quick rundown afterward, so you know how the afternoon really went rather than just assuming it was fine.
Overnight Boarding is the answer for the nights you simply can't be home. Your bird settles into a dedicated, temperature-steady room with sensible light cycles and clean bedding, and we follow an evening wind-down that helps them ease into sleep instead of fretting in an unfamiliar place.
Come morning, it's a gentle wake-up with fresh food and water and the same unhurried attention they'd get in their own home. Special diets, medication timings, the odd particular habit, tell us and we'll honour it exactly. Nothing about being away should feel jarring to your bird.
Heading off for a couple of weeks, or wintering somewhere warmer? Extended Stay Boarding covers trips of seven days or longer at a better daily rate. Your bird gets everything our overnight care includes, plus the one thing that matters most over a long absence: a routine that stays the same day after day.
Photos land in your inbox so you can watch your bird carry on as usual, and we stay reachable the whole time you're gone. Over a longer stay we keep a close eye on appetite, energy, and behaviour, the trends that quietly tell you whether a bird is genuinely thriving or just coping.
Meals made up each day to your bird's own plan, the pellets they're used to, the chop they actually eat, and whatever supplements you send along, prepped the way you'd do it yourself.
Out-of-cage time with foraging puzzles, the right toys for your bird's size and smarts, and unhurried interaction, because a bored bird and a content one behave very differently.
Bird-proofed rooms held at a steady temperature through Oakville's harsh winters and sticky summers, with proper airflow, sensible lighting, and only bird-safe cleaners anywhere near your companion.
Plain notes on what your bird ate, how active they were, and anything in their behaviour worth mentioning, handed over at pickup or sent along day by day so nothing goes unsaid.
Real photos through the stay, not stock reassurance, so whether you're at a cottage up north or a conference overseas, you can actually see your bird looking settled.
A direct line to the person actually caring for your bird, not a front desk. Question, worry, or special request, message us any time during the stay and you'll hear back from someone who knows your bird.
Different birds, different needs. We've written dedicated guides on how we board the species we're asked about most in Oakville, covering temperament, diet, enrichment, and the little things that keep each one settled while you're away.
Reinforced housing and experienced hands for macaws, cockatoos, African greys, and Amazons — the big parrots most sitters turn away. Read our large parrot boarding guide.
Flock-aware company, draft-free warmth, and a balanced diet for busy, social budgerigars and parakeets. Read our budgie boarding guide.
Calm routines, night-fright prevention, and gentle company for affectionate, sensitive tiels. Read our cockatiel boarding guide.
Cognitive enrichment, steady consistency, and plucking-conscious care for the cleverest of the parrots. Read our African Grey boarding guide.
Daily interaction, screech-tolerant calm, and sturdy enrichment for loud, playful, social conures. Read our conure boarding guide.
Bonded pairs kept together, steady warmth, and territory-aware handling for small, feisty lovebirds. Read our lovebird boarding guide.
Room to stretch, sturdy perches, and beak-proof enrichment for large, intelligent, long-lived macaws. Read our macaw boarding guide.
Getting ready to book? These guides cover the two questions Oakville bird owners ask us most — how to plan boarding around travel, and what a stay actually costs.
Planning bird care around a trip, the holidays, or March break — why to book ahead for peak periods, plus easy drop-off and pickup. Read our vacation boarding guide.
What drives the cost of a stay, what's included as standard, and how to get a clear custom quote built around your bird. Read our boarding cost guide.
A finch and a macaw ask very different things of a sitter. We've spent years with both ends of that spectrum and most of what sits between, so the species below are old friends, not guesswork.
