Finding a horse sitter near me - FAQs

Depending on the level of care and attention your horse needs, pet parents can expect to pay anywhere between £/$15 and £/$100 per day for horse boarding stables or standard pet sitters. But that’s not how we do vacation horse care at TrustedHousesitters – for the price of an annual membership fee, pet parents enjoy a whole year of unlimited pet care, with no hidden costs!

With just a quick search on TrustedHousesitters, you’ll discover thousands of loving horse sitters who exchange dedicated pet care for a place to stay. Connect with real pet people with real experiences who’ll care for your long-legged family members as if they were their own.

Our equine sitters will go above and beyond to make sure your horse has all the loving care and attention they need. That means making sure they’re fed and watered, mucking out the stables, replacing their bedding, and keeping them fit and healthy. You can also let your pet sitter know if it’s okay to ride your horse.   

Horse boarding (otherwise known as equine boarding) typically involves leaving the horse at a facility where they take on the majority of your pet’s care. The cost to board a horse can be very expensive, whereas with TrustedHousesitters, you only need to pay a single membership fee to enjoy a whole year of pet care. Once you’ve chosen your plan, connect with thousands of pet-loving sitters who’ll provide your horse with around-the-clock care and attention.

We're called TrustedHousesitters for a reason! We've been connecting animal lovers with happy home owners (and their pets) for more than ten years now.  All sitters in our network go through a verification process, and this is highlighted on their profile. This includes phone/email verification, as well as external references and thorough ID checks through our partners, Evident ID. That being said, it's still important to follow your gut - that's why we recommend conducting video interviews and getting to know potential sitters before agreeing to anything.
