We are going on Christmas vacation for one week. How can we find a sitter that will come to our place to feed, give water and check on them?

Maryland-*Charles, St Marys or Calvert County.

This time of year is hard for finding sitters, most are already booked. I agree with FEM, call your vet and see if they have any recommendations.

I may know someone. What county are you in? The person probably won't go to Calvert, and doubt would go all the way to Point Lookout.
What livestock do you have?

It may not help you this year, but it would be good to get involved with a local club or organization of fellow goat owners. Here we have several organizations like the NC Dairy Goat Breeders Association
In the past we have gotten a farm sitter through the club when we go out of town.
I think there is one in MD or a regional one. I think I have seen it on FB. Maybe do a search on FB
