Your Neighbor,
Your Pets Friend
Hi, I’m Chris Covell, owner of Flagstaff Stable Hands Animal Care.
My love of animals started when I was a small child. Over the years I’ve volunteered many hours with animal rescue groups, including fostering greyhounds and serving as an adoption counselor, helping match retired racers with the right families.
In high school I worked as a veterinary assistant, where I learned to read an animal’s behavior, give medications, spot early signs that something isn’t right, and stay calm when it matters. Since then I’ve built a professional career in business and earned a master’s degree in Data Science. That work made me organized, dependable and careful with details, and I bring the same standards to every home and barn I care for.
Why choose a professional?
Many owners have had a bad experience with a pet sitter: a missed visit, a gate left open, a forgotten medication, or no word about how things went. When you leave your animals, you need to know someone responsible is showing up, every visit, every time. I arrive when I say I will, follow your animals’ routines exactly, and keep you updated so you never have to wonder.
Every animal, big or small
I care for everything from horses, donkeys and chickens to cats, guinea pigs and fish. Every visit is tailored to your animals’ needs, including feeding, fresh water, medications, visits, litter, turnout or stall mucking, and plenty of attention, so they stay happy and on schedule while you’re away.

The Daily Stroll
The Daily Drop-In
Barn Visit
A refreshing 30 or 60 minute visit through the neighborhood to stretch their legs and get some fresh air.
Once- or twice-daily visits for cats, small pets and other animals: feeding, fresh water, medications, visits or litter, plus mail, plants and a home check, with an update after every visit.
Your horses and barn animals stay on their routine, at home, with someone who knows barn work. I’ll handle feeding and hay, fill and check water, give medications, manage turnout and clean stalls, all while keeping a close eye on each animal’s health and behavior. I’ll also check fences, gates and the barn so everything is secure. Once- or twice-daily visits are available, and you’ll get an update after every visit.
