Hello! I'm Lauren.
Love your farm but need a break? I provide worry-free escapes for farm families.
Mission
Farmers, ranchers, and pet owners are hard-working, selfless, and dedicated.
When you commit to a lifestyle that includes animals and stewardship of the land, you know that it means plenty of hard work, and no such thing as sick days.
You love your animals, and your land, but wouldn't it be nice to take a vacation once in awhile?
Founded in 2013, Flathead Farm Sitting has been on a mission to provide quality farm, ranch, and pet sitting to the Flathead Valley community.

"Lauren came to my farm and was very professional. She took notes on our feeding schedule and asked all the necessary questions to provide adequate care for my animals. I have horses, cows, pigs, chickens, dogs and cats. She milked my dairy cow along with feeding twice a day and growing my Barley Fodder. She was great about calling daily with reports on my animals’ welfare. Upon arriving back home I was thoroughly impressed with the service she provided. Everyone was happy, waterers filled, barn cleaned, and everything as I left it. I would recommend her to anyone looking for farm or ranch care. We have looked for a long time for someone to farm-sit, so we could get away, and have finally found the right person."

"Lauren is an absolute gem; it is such a relief to be worry-free while traveling. She is very professional & capably takes care of our full assortment of critters, including many rabbits, cows, and 4-H livestock. It was such a relief to find someone who knows cows, is knowledgeable about animal health, and is physically capable of handling farm chores. Plus, as a bonus, she sends daily updates and cute photos of the animals! I highly recommend Lauren's services!"

"My name is Chadlee Stephens and I am writing to recommend Lauren as a house and critter sitter. I have hired her to care for my five horses, two dogs and two cats while away for extended periods of time, and she has always come through for me both professionally and personally. I have full confidence that she will do a great job, and will go above and beyond, as she has for me in the past."
