Your bird chose you. We take that seriously.
Knowledgeable, routine-centered bird care for small finches to large parrots — and everyone in between.
The bond between a bird and their person is one of the most remarkable things in the pet world. Birds are intelligent, emotionally complex, acutely perceptive, and deeply attached to their routines and their people. They also happen to be one of the most underserved species in pet care — handed off to sitters who mean well but don't quite understand what they're working with.
At Sploot Pet Concierge, we do. We provide cage-side care for birds of all sizes and species, from small finches and budgies to cockatiels, conures, and large parrots, with an approach rooted in your bird's individual personality, your established routine, and a genuine respect for how sensitive and extraordinary these animals are.
We serve bird families across Fitchburg, Madison, Middleton, and Verona.
The Sploot Pet Approach to Bird Care
Species-specific knowledge, not guesswork
A finch and a macaw are not having the same experience, and their care reflects that. We take species-specific education seriously, with training through Pet Sitters International and the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters — organizations that set the standard for professional animal care. When we review your bird's care plan we're asking the right questions because we understand what the answers mean.
An environment that stays safe. Birds are among the most environmentally sensitive animals in the home. Changes in air quality, cleaning products, cooking fumes, and even candles can pose real risks — and we know that. Our caregivers are trained to maintain a safe environment throughout every visit. For households with multiple birds, we also understand the importance of preventing cross-contamination between cages and keeping shared spaces clean and uncompromised.
Your routine. Your bird's rules.
Birds thrive on consistency, and we don't come in and change things. Before care begins we learn your bird's routine in detail: their schedule, their preferences, what they love and what they don't, which toys hold their attention and which perches are their favorite. We follow that routine precisely, because for a bird, routine isn't comfort — it's safety.
Out-of-cage time is handled the way you've established it, with careful supervision throughout. Some birds want an enthusiastic play partner. Others want to investigate their toys independently while we keep them company. Some will claim our shoulder immediately and consider the matter settled. And there is almost always at least one who discovers their fresh water and decides a bath is absolutely necessary right now. We're ready for all of it.
Consistent caregiver pairing.
For animals as perceptive and relationship-oriented as birds, a familiar face isn't a nice extra — it's fundamental. We pair your bird with a dedicated caregiver team and keep that relationship consistent across visits. Over time that consistency is what allows even cautious or skeptical birds to genuinely relax into their care.
Fear Free care for animals who read everything.
Birds read body language with extraordinary precision. A tense caregiver, a rushed movement, an unfamiliar energy — they notice all of it. Our Fear Free Certified approach means calm, low-pressure interactions that let your bird set the pace. We don't force interaction. We show up consistently, let trust build naturally, and follow your bird's lead every step of the way.
Services for Your Bird
Pet Sitting
In-home visits that follow your bird's established routine — out-of-cage time, enrichment, feeding, cage maintenance, and attentive company from a caregiver who actually knows birds. Medication can be administered mixed with food or water as directed.
Pet Taxi
Calm, careful transport to avian vet appointments with a caregiver who understands how stressful travel can be for birds and handles the experience accordingly.
For Multi-Bird Households
Homes with multiple birds come with an additional layer of responsibility that we take seriously. Keeping feeding stations, cage cleaning, and shared spaces properly managed to prevent cross-contamination is part of every visit — not an afterthought. If your flock has a hierarchy, a routine, or specific dynamics we need to understand, we want to know all of it before we begin.
For Birds Who Need a Little Extra
Birds who are shy, territorial, or slow to warm up to new people do best with patience, consistency, and a caregiver who doesn't take it personally. We give them space, follow their cues, and let trust develop at their pace.
For birds managing health needs, medication administered with food or water is something we handle routinely. If your bird has specific medical requirements, we'll review the protocol carefully before your first trip so nothing is left to chance.
