About BARNSITR
After hearing story after story that farmers were missing weddings, vacations, or family events - we realized something was missing. A trusted place where farmers can go to find farm sitters with experience, to cater to their farm animals and look after their place while they are gone.
That is why we built BARNSITR.
BARNSITR is an online marketplace connecting farm owners and homesteaders with trusted, verified sitters who provide reliable livestock care while owners are away. Built on trust, convenience and community. BARNSITR empowers farmers to take time off — whether for a wedding, family reunion, a business trip, or simply to take a vacation — with complete confidence that their animals are in good hands.
Our platform bridges a growing need in modern livestock care: helping small scale and hobby farmers find experienced, dependable help without the stress of traditional hiring. From weekend farm sitting to extended care, BARNSITR makes it easy to match with qualified caregivers who understand the responsibility of rural life.
Our Mission: To give farmers the freedom to step away — and peace of mind knowing their farm animals are cared for like their own.
