Farm Sitting
Farm sitting includes 1-2 visits per day to provide general care and farm work for your pets and farm animals. This includes indoor pets like cats and hamsters, and farm animals such as cows, chickens, goats, horses, etc. Due to the range of animals and labor, this service is based on the amount of time it would typically take me to do the work.
​
I'm not calling myself a slow worker by any means, but keep in mind it will probably take me a bit longer to learn your farm's routine and do all the farm chores than it would typically take you since you probably do it every day!
Don't hesitate to contact me about your farm's needs if you don't see something listed! Animal care services during farm visits may include (as applicable):
-
Food preparation, feeding, and watering
-
Throwing hay/filling hay bags

Turning out/bringing in, blanketing services, hoof picking for horses
-
Cleaning litter boxes, mucking stalls, picking pens, refreshing shavings/bedding
-
Changing bandages

Giving and/or applying medication
