Hi.
Does any know of ( or used) good house and animal sitters in central Scotland? We don't have a lot of animals but I'd prefer someone who could spot a sick sheep at 20 paces.
Thank you.

Often best to find another smallholder locally you could trade smallholding sitting with if possible...

Are you on poultry in Aberdeenshire face book . There is someone on there that advertises looking after small holdings

Thank you. We are not far from Stirling.
There are a couple of posts about sitters on TAS but they are quite old so may not exist now.
Thank you.

If fit's summertime you were thinking of, we'd love a holiday in Scotland and would happily look after your beasties?

Hi,It's such a major thing to leave your holding and animals in the hands of someone else isn't it.
I've been known to do a bit of smallholding/farm sitting. We've got chickens, ducks and ponies and I also have years of lambing sheep and sheep experience and don't mind working with cattle either. We're based in Aberdeenshire in echt. If anyone is interested get in touch.

Rupert the bear,
Have had 13 replies, but I think you want someone to come to you and tend to your beasts but not necessary stay over, would that be right . There is Ellon pet and equine care, I think she has a face book page and she will go to your place
There is someone that does chicken boarding and Molly's zoo but you take your animals to her
Hope that's helpful, if any more replies will let you know
