Finding a farm sitter near me - FAQs

While a farm sitter’s responsibilities will vary depending on the type of animals they’re looking after, they’ll always make sure their farmyard friends have access to food and water and are living in a clean, safe environment. They also keep an eye on each animal’s health and well-being and provide them with love and companionship.

On TrustedHousesitters, there are plenty of sitters who would love to come and take care of your farmyard family. Either wait for applicants to roll in or reach out to sitters directly, and chat to them about their experience with animals like yours.

The cost of hiring a farm sitter can be pretty high, depending on the level of care your animals require and how many you have. With TrustedHousesitters though, no money changes hands between the sitter and the pet parent. Instead, members pay a one-off annual membership fee, allowing them to enjoy a whole year of pet care with no hidden costs in exchange for offering the sitter a stay in their home.

Many of our sitters love caring for all sorts of farm animals, from playful goats and fluffy sheep to new piggy friends. Please note that we cannot accept any animals that could pose a threat to our sitters on the platform, as per our Terms & Conditions.

Getting a farm sitter means owners can take a much-needed break, but there are other benefits too:
