📣 Hey Friends- important info!

I recently went back to work full-time, working from home. I’m very excited about this new chapter, but it will mean some changes on the pet sitting side!

I was holding off on making this announcement because I’m still unsure how everything will pan out… but with a recent influx in requests, here we are. Here’s what I know FOR NOW:

• I will not be taking new clients for the time being
• Availability is extremely limited this summer and possibly longer.
• I’m not ready to close this chapter quite yet, so if you’re a current client, please reach out! I’ll either get you on the schedule or send you a referral.

I have loved this little side gig of mine for the past few years and I’m forever grateful for all of your support! 🤍

As 2023 is coming to a close, I’m reflecting on what a great year it’s been and also how absent I’ve been on social media… woops 🤪

This year I haven’t been actively recruiting new clients, but I’m still here and do have some room for another regular or two! Send me a message if you have any questions about pricing or availability. I can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store 🖤

25 horses (ranging from minis to Belgians)
4 goats
2 mini donkeys
8 cats
1 dog
Countless ducks, chickens, and other birds

•Taking care of a neighbors dogs, rabbits, ducks and chickens.

AND

Forever grateful for you guys trusting me with all your animals! 💛 Now please excuse me while I sleep for a week straight! 🫣😅

Chicken update 🐓

About 10 weeks ago we got chicks at Rural King (I wanted 10, my husband wanted 20. We settled on 12).

They’re all thriving and living it up in their new coop, exploring our little patch of ground.

2 of our “hens” are crowing 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I recently went on a girls trip to Florida. When I came home, my lovely family surprised me with 4 more baby chicks because “we don’t have any of THESE kind” 🤦🏻‍♀️ 😂

They’re by far the easiest animals we have and my kids are obsessed with them…I can’t complain too much if the flock keeps growing. Here’s to hoping no one else turns out to be a rooster 🤞🏼🤪

05/06/2023

It’s always a great weekend to chickensit 😅🐓

It’s been pretty quiet around here lately, but busy season is fast approaching! These sweet draft babies are helping me ease back into the H&H grind this weekend 🐴🖤

03/21/2023

🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Oh Rizzy.

03/13/2023

Hope y’all are adjusting better than I am today! 😅 it’s all worth it for the later sunsets 🌅👏🏼

Another beautiful weekend taking care of some OG Horse and Hounders 🐾 🤍

02/27/2023

This winter has been so mild and I’m LOVING all the sun and warmer temps 🌤 around this time last year we had negative windchills and 4 foot snow drifts at our place. The horses didn’t want to leave the barn for days because of the cold and wind, but it was pretty entertaining to watch them come outside for the first time after the storm!

02/23/2023

Take the vacation! 🏝✈️😎

If anything goes wrong while you’re gone, we know a thing or two 😉 we can handle whatever your farm throws at us!!

We love our senior horses!

This is Thunder and he’s 34 years young 🤩

He’s living the pampered retired life because his humans take the BEST care of him. If you have a senior horse (or any animal for that matter) we’ll care for them like they’re our own ❤️ Soaked feed, mixing up meds and supplements, separating them from the herd and giving them extra time to eat - you name it, we’ll accommodate it.

🐓 Story time 🐓

Years ago I went to a friends house where there was a “surprise” for my birthday...

She handed me a crate and inside it was 1 lone chicken named Penelope (pronounced Peenylope 🤣). She came to live in my unfinished horse barn and a few weeks later I got her a couple more chicken friends. I quickly realized I had NO IDEA what I was doing and I re-homed the birds to my chicken savvy cousin.

Fast forward to now- we’re researching feed options and designing a nice little coop for our future flock...We’re finally joining the chicken club and this time we’re gonna be prepared! 😅

If you have chickens, what’s your best piece of advice for newbies? 🤔

Up and at em before sunrise this morning. Who’s excited for 50 degrees and sunny today!? 🙋🏻‍♀️👏🏼☀️

01/09/2023

Wrapped up a crazy busy couple of weeks with a trip to meet the Budweiser Clydesdales and Dalmatians. So much fun 😍 highly recommend it if you find yourself in the St. Louis area!

Happy new year! This year has been a whirlwind in the best way possible. I started Horse and Hound 9 short months ago and the support I’ve received has been incredible. I can honestly say I love what I do - so much that I find myself missing my clients animals when I haven’t seen them in a while 🤫😅

I appreciate each and every one of you and look forward to a great 2023! 🤩

This summer has been one for the books and it’s not over yet!

This page has been quiet, but I have been B.U.S.Y. And for that I’m really thankful. It doesn’t feel like work when I have the best clients and I get to hang out with the sweetest animals 🖤

Starting to book into October so make sure to inquire about your dates before it’s too late!!

07/05/2022

We hope everyone had a great 4th of July! 🇺🇸

Over the weekend, I got to hang out with all these sweet pups, barn kitties (not pictured) and some pretty cool birds 😻🐾🐓🦃
