Work With Us

Love Your Flock caregivers provide attentive, knowledgeable care for backyard flocks when their owners are away. Our caregivers are calm, observant, reliable, and genuinely invested in the wellbeing of the birds entrusted to them.

 

What the work involves

​

Love Your Flock caregivers visit clients’ homes to ensure their flocks are healthy, safe, and comfortable while owners are away. Typical responsibilities include:

​

• Feeding and refreshing water for birds, collecting eggs

• Observing flock behavior and noting any signs of illness or injury

• Securing coops and runs to protect birds from predators

• Opening and closing coops as needed

• Providing occasional basic first aid (training provided)

• Sending updates to flock owners after visits

• Reporting concerns or unusual observations promptly 

​

Visits typically last 45–60 minutes, depending on the flock and property.

​

​

• Attentive and detail-oriented

• Calm and confident around animals

• Comfortable working outdoors in varying weather

• Reliable and able to follow care instructions carefully

• Interested in learning more about backyard flock health and behavior

 

Experience with chickens, farm animals, veterinary work, or animal care is helpful but not always required.
