Quick Start Guide for Farm Owners
Get set up and find your first farm caretaker in four steps.
Complete Your Farmer Compliance Profile
Before you can browse caretakers, message anyone, or create a booking, you need to complete the Farmer Compliance Profile. This is a one-time step where you review and acknowledge the platform's legal attestations, specifically that you understand caretakers are independent service providers, not employees, and that you are the property owner or authorized representative. It takes about five minutes and is required by Virginia law compliance guidelines.
Set Up Your Farm Listing
Add your farm name, the types of animals you keep, property details, and any special care requirements. Then add animal care instructions (feeding, medications, vet contacts) for each species. Caretakers see these when they accept a booking. The more detail you provide, the easier it is for caretakers to decide if they're a good match.
Search and Browse Farm Caretakers
Use the search page to browse caretakers in your Virginia county. You can filter by animal type, experience, and availability. Click any caretaker's profile to read their bio, see their listed rates, view any verification badges, and check their availability calendar. When you find someone you'd like to work with, you can send them a booking request directly.
Confirm, Pay After Service, and Review
Once a caretaker accepts your booking request, confirm it on the platform (including a brief legal re-attestation). Payment is not collected at confirmation. After the caretaker completes the work and submits an invoice, you review and approve it, then pay securely through Stripe. When the booking is finished, both parties are prompted to leave a double-blind review. Neither party sees the other's review until both have been submitted.
