Reliable and clean animal lover!

Pet care experience

In 2023, I was nomadic and a full-time house/pet sitter! With 15+ house sits last year, I gained a wide range of experiences including: senior pets, blind/deaf pets, separation anxiety, and administering oral medications. One of my favorite things is getting to know each pet and what they need/want most in caring for them. I love to share photos and updates with the owners throughout my visit! Also, I grew up in TN on 15 acres with an assortment of animals! Dogs, rabbits, birds, fish, and more. We also fostered animals. While I don't have any pets currently, growing up around animals developed my love and joy to care for them!

Christina took such good care of Penny! We got lots of great photos of them enjoying time together. Penny was not ready to see her go at the end of her stay. We will gladly have her back (Penny would be upset if we didn’t).

Christina was a perfect fit with my golden retriever! She sent daily updates twice a day and he looked so happy and comfortable with her. She kept the house clean and met all of our requests! We would definitely use her again!

Christina was everything our dog with separation anxiety needed. She took him on two walks and was attentive to his needs. She gave us periodic updates with pictures. I would definitely recommend her and would love to use her services again.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm currently not available to host pets in my home. However, I'd be happy to house sit and would take care of your home as if it were my own! Communication is very important, I'd follow any and all instructions, and leave your house as clean (or better) than when I arrived.

Information Christina S. would like to know about your pet

If you have any instructions, I'll take notes to make sure I follow them! Otherwise, I like to know about schedule, food, treats, toys, personality traits, or other good to know preferences of what they do or do not like!

A typical day

I love to listen to the needs of the individual animal(s). If they're wanting rubs and cuddles, then I'll give them some attention. If they're wanting play time, then I'll try out a variety of options to see what they like. Each animal is unique and one of my favorite aspects of being a sitter is to get to know and care for them in the ways they want!

I run my own online business doing operations consulting. With the ability to work from anywhere, I mostly stay "home" all day while working remotely and love staying in quiet and cozy homes with new furry friends that I can love on. I'm very organized and keep notes on each confirmed sit. I am attention to detail oriented and will follow any and all instructions. For fun, I am passionate about dance and music. I'm non-smoking, non-drinking, and very clean. I believe in proactive communication and making sure to care for your pet(s) and home with lots of love, care, and respect!
