My Story


Hi there! I’m Brigitte and I started Barn & Beyond as know how challenging it can be to find reliable care for your animals when you're planning a getaway.
I’ve always had a deep love and respect for animals. Growing up, I was surrounded by pets and farm animals, and from a young age, I knew I wanted to pursue something that involved working with them. Over the years, I worked at several horse barns, gaining hands-on experience with caring for horses and other animals. Additionally, I managed a pet store for a handful of years, where I expanded my knowledge of animal care. This experience, combined with my passion, led me to earn my Agriculture Diploma in 2019.
Horses have always held a special place in my heart, and barrel racing continues to be a passion of mine. I still compete today, with my Quarter Horses Levi and Sonny. Whether I’m training, racing, or simply spending time with them, these horses are a huge part of my day-to-day routine. Alongside them, I care for a variety of animals, including chickens, ducks, and more, each of which brings its own charm to our farm.
I understand how difficult it can be to get away for a vacation while ensuring that your animals are well cared for.
That’s what inspired me to start my farm-sitting business. With my experience working in horse barns, managing a pet store, and earning an agriculture diploma, I know how important it is to maintain routines and give animals the care and attention they deserve. Whether it’s a short visit or an extended stay, I’m here to help take the stress out of leaving your animals behind.
I’m passionate about offering reliable and personal care for your animals, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Thank you for trusting me with your farm and animals. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry (or feathered) friends!
