There are businesses that look after small animals, but are not common.
Small animals tend to be looked after by friends or neighbours as they
need little attention. Dogs and Cats are different, which is why there
are so many businesses dedicated to looking after them whilst Mum and
Dad are away.

I doubt it, I do not know what arrangements farmers make, but imagine it
involves someone going to their farm, rather than moving cattle.

There is a word for this, livery. You will often see the word in
Westerns, although people these days do not travel by horse. I have seen
guest houses offering livery, when they are near places where people
travel to with horses, such as polo clubs. Its amazing how observant OSM
has made me. Livery is a word you often see with riding stables, where
you rent a place to keep your horse and the owner will either offer
optional livery, in that they can look after your horse if you want. Or
you can look after it there and no doubt an option to have it looked
after while you go on holiday.
