I'm adding myself for the central FL area.
I actually do petsitting as a small business... dogs, cats, freshwater and marine aquariums, pigs, chickens and other poultry, horses, donkeys, and the occasional alpaca and parrot. House pets or farm animals/farm pets. All of the above.
I got into this by being that one lady that was always the one to take in a stray and find it a new home or get it into a proper rescue(including baby opossums and injured bats), and who was always willing to help out family and friends. Then a friend of the family told me that I should consider actually DOING it. Being a retired, empty nested, lady with a need for something to do and a husband who still works ALL the time, and missing my farm girl roots, I decided to jump in... and I love it!
Admittedly, on a normal basis I do charge a small daily fee for my services, but I always care for every animal as if it were my own. And for members of this online community I'd be willing to waive the fee in exchange of a possible return of the service or some such. Plus I'd really just like to make a few more 'farm oriented' friends along the way as most of my clients are in suburbs with just dogs/cats/fish/parrots.
*edit- I also think I would be too reluctant to ask any non-chicken person to deal with doling out fermented feed... LOL
