A lot of people are allergic to the bedding materials used for small animals, so that is something she will need to consider while pet sitting. Maybe looking for animals that can do without the wood shavings, or use an alternative (I know when I used to work at a pet store you could get this fluffy paper stuff instead). She should look at spiny mice, they are very social (in my experience, more social than hamsters). I used to have a hedghog, and I never used any shaving type bedding, he was ok with a towel and I put a small area rug with the rubberized backing on the floor of his cage.
