About Rent-A-Ruminant

Rent-A-Ruminant, LLC is owned by Tammy Dunakin, chief Goat Wrangler and is located on Vashon Island in the Seattle area. She started this business in 2004 with only ten goats and now the herd has grown to over one hundred happy goats and sheep. We bring goats to your location to eat a wide range of vegetation, such as blackberries, ivy, and other invasive species.

Many of the goats at Rent-A-Ruminant are rescue goats and they are part of our family. They receive the best of care and are never slaughtered. When they become unable to remain with the herd, they are retired to good loving homes.

Our customers include green construction companies, public utilities, universities, schools, park districts and private land owners.
