I love the things you do - horse sitting, horse training, cow sitting… do you offer snake sitting services too? I’d want you for my neighbor.
Snakes are pretty easy, you mostly need just to make sure that their habitat temperatures are good for their species, and make sure they have drinking/soaking water. Much of the time they don't even need to be fed.
I have taken care of dogs (just finished a stint of dogsitting, actually), cats, sheep, goats, cows, alpacas, llamas, chickens, pigs, most 'pocket' pets, and of course, horses.
It's easy to find dog and cat sitters, but the 'farm' animals are not something everyone wants to do. The big animals can be intimidating, so you need someone who has confidence with handling them, and you really want someone who has familiarity with the various species so that they can determine if an animal needs medical attention or not.
I only take on clients who are within six miles of me, and I stay just busy enough to enjoy what I do.
