Farm life is full of beauty and routine but it also comes with its fair share of unpredictability. As a trusted Carroll County farm sitter and Frederick County farm care provider, I’ve learned that emergencies don’t wait for a convenient time. Whether I’m tending to horses, chickens, goats, or barn pets during solo drop-in visits, I bring with me years of experience, a level-headed approach, and a deep commitment to animal safety.
Calm, Capable, and Ready for Anything
As an accomplished equestrian with a background in farm management, I’ve seen and handled just about everything. From escaped livestock and sudden weather shifts to emergency vet calls, I’m trained to respond quickly, calmly, and with confidence. My goal in any emergency is to stabilize the situation, protect the animals, and communicate clearly with the owner.
Medical Emergencies: First Response & Veterinary Support
I’ve spent years working closely with veterinarians, both in standard care and emergency situations. My hands-on experience includes managing injuries, spotting signs of illness early, and administering medications when needed.
Whether it’s a colicky horse, a limping goat, or a chicken showing signs of illness, I know how to assess the issue and act. I’ve administered injections, oral medications, wound treatments, and other supportive care for a variety of animals including horses, dogs, cats, poultry, and livestock.
Your animals’ health is my priority, and I always follow veterinary instructions and alert owners immediately when something’s not right.
Experienced in Equine Emergencies & Hauling
Experienced in Equine Emergencies & HaulingOne area where I bring specialized experience is in equine emergency care. I’ve handled everything from hoof abscesses and colic to unexpected injuries and I’ve even hauled horses for others in emergency situations to get them the urgent care they needed. My experience loading, transporting, and managing horses under pressure means your animals are in capable hands when every minute matters.
Escape Artists? No Problem
Escaped animals can quickly become a serious issue, especially when you’re not home. Whether it’s a loose horse, a goat who found a weak spot in the fence, or a curious chicken in the driveway, I’ve dealt with it all. I stay calm, move with purpose, and safely get animals back where they belong minimizing stress and preventing injury.
