Horse Sitting/Carer

Private Onsite Horse Sitting while you’re away or when you may need some extra help around the barn due to lots going on in life, injury, illness, etc. My goal is to alleviate any stress or concern for you and your horse(s) in your absence. And for those looking for some extra help around the barn, I’m happy to help with what needs to be done.

What I Do For Your Horse(s)

First and foremost, I take care of their needs: feeding, stable cleaning, fresh water (with bucket cleaning) and turnout. Feedings will be completed per your specifications. I will complete a horse sitting care form listing all the individual needs of your horse(s) so that I can make sure that they are fed properly, and on their normal schedule. I will also ensure that your horse(s) has/have sufficient water through out the day and always complete a quick health and wellness check.

Horse Sitting Services

SERVICE FEES: Service fees are based upon type of visit and tasks performed. If you have need for only partial service or other tasks needing done, please inquire, and we can negotiate a rate that works for us both. The same applies if you have multiple animals you would like for me to care for. I know care can add up, so I am willing to work with animal owners to find a doable rate.

TRAVEL FEE: A travel fee is charged based on location (travel fee will be based on how many visits per day are needed). A quote will be provided once the destination is known.
