Need someone to check on your chickens, goats, donkeys, dogs, or cats while you're away? We've been doing exactly this for a neighboring family for years.
Our kids have spent years caring for a neighbor's animals while the family is away — feeding, watering, collecting eggs, checking pens, and keeping everyone happy. This is not brand-new to us — it is something we already do carefully and consistently.
Every job starts with a free meet-and-greet so we can walk through your routine, learn your animals, and write down clear instructions before the first visit.
Need regular dog walks or summer vacation check-ins too? See our summer dog walking and pet check-in page.
Backyard animal care is different from a simple dog walk, so pricing depends on the job.
We'll give you a clear quote after we understand your animals, routine, number of visits, location, and dates. Simple check-ins may be quick, while larger routines with chickens, goats, donkeys, dogs, cats, gates, water troughs, or multiple daily visits take more time.
Backyard animals deserve honest care. Here's where we draw the line, because that's what keeps your animals safe and us doing this well.
We only take animal-care jobs with clear written instructions and a parent-approved meet-and-greet first. We don't handle medical care, injections, loose-livestock recovery, aggressive animals, or anything that isn't covered in your routine. If a job is more than a simple check-in, we'll be honest up front and either adjust the plan together or pass on it.
Send us a few details and we'll text or email you back the same day. Free meet-and-greet before we start. After we understand the routine, we'll send a simple quote before anything is booked.
Send us a quick note about your animals and your dates. We'll get back to you the same day to set up a free meet-and-greet.
