Re: Sitter --- Stories from the barnside

I am considering starting a business and am interested to find out if
there
is a need. I have looked at the web and in several publications and see
very little advertisements for sitters for livestock. When responding,
please keep in mind that this is a plan in progress and not completely
thought out yet. The concept is visit the animals at their home and
feed/water as well as other services dependent on the owners needs while
they are away. So the question is are there enough people that do this
type
of work and are there enough owners that will use this type of service?



Thank you in advance for your feedback.

My big advice is to get bonded at the very least so if anything happens
during your assignment you have some coverage!

I did once at a barn a few minutes from my house. The why and how is a long
story but I wished I had some form of protection should anything have
happened to the animals. Lucky for me things went smoothly.

horses/ponies
Princess Pony who didn't get much loving those two weeks
Blonde Ambition who wasn't even in the picture
