A lot of what I do is what I loved doing as a kid: gaining the trust of other animals. Still my favorite place to be, and now I get to do it all with a little help from my little family. :)
Farm-Sitting
If you have any type of farm, you well know that it can be very hard to get away, and finding the right caretaker can be stressful--especially if you have a sudden need to leave town. We can relate! Personally, our little farm means the world to me, and things need to be done the right way and at the right time. Call me woo-woo, but a little routine every day seems to keep the doctor away...
With a whole little family helping behind the scenes at Moon Ruby, I've recently been able to enjoy doing some farm-sitting for folks in southern Oregon and northern California, both daily visits and overnights. Having many years of experience with many types of animals, I offer a different level of care and dependability than most. I've spent days and nights with beautiful and highly valuable animals; with animals in the throes of the breeding frenzy; with calm, cool and collected animals living in the woods with cougars and bears and their good old livestock guardian dog companions.
