  :wave:Hello folks. I have followed various posts on sitting services for smallholders and owners with domestic farm livestock. I wanted members to know that if those services offered by Pippa's Smallholding Sitting Service are not available because Pippa or her fellow sitters are fully booked or are not able to help for another reason e.g. illness, member can contact myself at Assist Animal Care Services. I cover Shropshire, all the neighbouring counties and the Wales / England border, especially the Offas Dyke area, Powys, Denbighshire, Flintshire down to Monmouthshire.  The daughter of a farm vet, I have provided sitting and relief staffing /care of smallholdings and domestic premises for many years on a part time basis. On 1st November, having got some new qualifications I decided to go full time by adding a complementary Ofsted registered child care service (in the family home).   Thus smallholders or other families with domestic livestock as pets AND children could engage one person (me!) to look after both f they needed a mobile animal carer and nanny, knowing I was competent, qualified and insured for animal care and child care, for a single fee.  I also offer house sitting for owners who need the property, grounds, gardens, vegetable plots etc looking after in their absence who may have neither animals or children.   Yvette Greasley.  Email: info@assistyg.co.uk.  Website: www.assistyg.co.uk

Just catching up on this site.

I've spoken to Yvette and she has a lot of confidence, and seems quite knowledgable with domestic animals.

I'm just adding in though that whilst she does smallholding sitting service, Her business isnt through me/attached to me.
As I tend to advertise under the same thread title, but we sit different areas with some over lap (which I think is great )

p.s. At present I've stopped my business, may be looking to diversify/only sit within a 20mile radius of my postcode, due son starting nursery.
