Equine & Smallholding Sitting Services Nationwide UK

Professional Farm, Livestock & Specialist Horse Sitting Care

Finding a standard pet sitter who understands the complex demands of rural properties, heavy livestock, and stable management is incredibly challenging. At A3 House & Pet Sitting, we bridge that gap by providing a qualified, highly experienced live-in smallholding sitting service nationwide across the UK.

We ensure your land, outbuildings, machinery, and stock are kept safe, secure, and meticulously managed exactly to your routine while you are away on holiday or business.

🐴 Specialist Equine Sitting & Stable Management

Your horses represent a massive emotional and financial investment. With a BSc (Hons) in Equine Science and nearly two decades of hands-on equestrian experience, Amber provides elite-level care that goes far beyond basic feeding:

• Routine Maintenance: Precise management of turn-out, catching, rugging, mucking out, and grooming schedules.

• Health & Medical Care: Expert identification of subtle signs of colic, lameness, laminitis, or gastric ulcers. Confident administration of supplements, oral medications, and wound dressings.

• Forage & Feed Management: Strict adherence to nutritional profiles, weighed haynets, and specific hard feed mixes.

• All Setups Welcomed: Experienced with everything from single family ponies and retired veterans to active competition horses and busy livery setups.

🌾 Professional Smallholding & Hobby Farm Sitting

A smallholding is a lifestyle, a business, and a home rolled into one. Our hobby farm sitting services ensure that daily agricultural operations do not stop when you leave:

• Livestock Care: Daily counting, checking, and feeding of sheep, goats, pigs, alpacas, and cattle.

• Poultry & Waterfowl Management: Morning let-outs, secure evening lock-ups to protect against predators (like foxes), egg collecting, and coop hygiene.

• Property & Perimeter Security: Regular checks of fencing lines, electric fences, water troughs, locked gates, and outbuildings.

• Emergency Problem-Solving: Highly resourceful and practical, with the confidence to handle escaped stock, severe weather shifts, and direct communication with your farm vet.

🛡️ Trust, Security & Credentials for Peace of Mind

Operating a fully insured house sitting business with a completely clear DBS check, we treat your rural property with the utmost respect. We understand the unique security vulnerabilities of isolated farms and maintain a constant, vigilant presence to deter rural crime, fly-tipping, or trespassing.
