Happy pets!
A house sitter provides loving, full-time, home-based pet-care while you're away.
I grew up in the country. Relatives had pigs/cows/chicken. I would probably be best suited for a hobby farm as opposed to a full fledged farm. I've tended; horses, chickens, and llamas.

As a house sitter, I've cared for; dogs, cats, chickens, llamas, horses, fish, rabbits, birds (budgies, parrrots ) ... and even milked a cow.
Raised in the country, I'm comfortable with animals and/or rural settings. I've also tossed a few bails of hay to the cows in my youth at my uncle's farm. I have my own vehicle.(SUV). Previous home owner, (for over a decade), and have been told I have a 'lot of tools for a chic' thus well aware of ins and outs of home maintenance. I have experience giving pets medication, be it eye drops or sneaking it into their food dish.
I work primarily from home and thus have some flexibility to my routine.
While I"m new to this website - I was a member years ago (on another website) and have house sat oodles of times. Some references are uploaded, in the photos section - my apologies for the split screen. I have also house sat for friends - be it a weekend get away and once for seven months, so I could over see some maintenance projects in their second home.
For animal sits - my record is six weeks with 21 huskies at the same time. That was fun and a unique sit, and even involved a bit of nursing when there was a few scrapes after a tangle.
Personally, I enjoy walks, swimming, yoga. I've done 10-day silent meditation sits and gone interior camping on my own, so not opposed to being someplace remote or on my own (so to speak). I don't; smoke, vape or drink.
University educated. Born here in Ontario.
I know dogs/pets come in different sizes, my default is to keep them off the furniture and to feed them out of their food dish, instead of encouraging them to beg for scraps.
