Aquarium Care

Fish owners who have to be away from their tanks for long periods of time require aquarium maintenance services. Dakota Handyman pet sitters can ensure your fish are living in ideal temperatures with clean water that is balanced to the right pH level. Trust our fish-sitters to provide the best living environment for your freshwater fish, saltwater fish, and any living plants in your tanks.

It is important to note the fish-sitting team at Dakota Handyman will only clean aquariums and smaller tanks if need be. Best fish care practices require fish to be under constant supervision after their tanks have been cleaned to ensure nothing goes wrong. If we are only there to feed your fish and check the water every day, we will not provide tank cleaning services.

According to PetMD, it is completely safe to allow your fish to remain in slightly dirty tanks rather than have the aquarium cleaned and something happens afterward when no one is home to catch it. That’s why our experienced fish sitters will only perform the following services if you will be away for an extended period of time:

  • Water change

  • Filter cleaning

  • Air pump cleaning

  • Glass cleaning

Call Dakota Handyman today to schedule long-term fish and tank care services for your fish.
