Title: Farm sitting or smallholding carers
Post by: mrs.moo on December 26, 2009, 10:45:23 pm

Hello, in common with most smallholders I find it very difficult to get away. Does anyone know of a reliable person(s) who would like to look after my smallholding for a week or so. It is based in Oxfordshire. There will be two cows to look after ( just food & water) and about 40 chickens in several enclosures. plus a couple of ponies, two terriers and a cat![color=black  :chook: :chook: :chook: :chook: :cow: :horse: :horse: :cow: :cat: :dog: :dog:

I found my dog sitter by googling the question. http://uk.yhs.search.yahoo.com/avg/search?fr=yhs-avgb&type=yahoo_avg_hs2-tb-web_uk&p=animal+sitter

How about this one?

I am sure there is someone on this site, and have seen them highly recommended on another.  Might be worth doing a search on here?

Would no-one you know do it for you? I know someone who used to farm/smallholding/goat sit, but she has sadly given it up now (not because she didn't make money, but because she met her husband and went to run his pet shop instead).

Hope you find someone.
