Most sitters in this area handle dogs and cats only. I look after the barn animals too: feeding and watering, stall and coop cleaning, pasture checks, health monitoring, egg collection, and predator awareness, backed by hands-on work as a farm technician and a farm animal research assistant.
Hands-on work as a farm technician across both agriculture and aquaculture, and as a farm animal research assistant, so barn chores and livestock routines are familiar ground.
A BSc in Bioveterinary Science and an Animal Welfare certificate, plus time as a veterinary assistant. Medication is given exactly as your vet prescribes; we do not diagnose or treat.
The house pets, the barn animals, and the pond or tank, covered together. Book them on the same visit and take $10 off, since it's one trip either way.
Every new client starts with a free meet-and-greet at the property to go over your animals, routines, and any special care needs before the first booking.
Feeding and watering, stall and coop cleaning, pasture checks, health monitoring, egg collection, and predator awareness, priced for the extra time farm care takes. Few sitters in this area cover livestock at all.

How pricing works: the base visit covers your flock and small livestock (chickens, ducks, goats, sheep) at one flat daily rate, since a visit takes about the same time whether you have 6 hens or 10. Horses and cattle are charged per animal on top of that, because each one needs its own individual feeding, water check, and stall or pasture inspection.
