Highlights
Pet care experience
Work-from-Home Sitter
Growing up on a farm taught me the value of caring for what matters—whether that’s animals, or your home. It also instilled a strong sense of responsibility, consistency, and compassion that continues to guide me today. For the past 10 years, I’ve cared for dogs and other beloved pets for friends and family. As a homeowner myself, I understand the trust involved in leaving both your pets and your home in someone else’s care. My goal is simple: to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining the routines they know and rely on. I work remotely as a logistics coordinator, which means I’m home throughout the day providing companionship, attention, and an added presence in your home. You’ll receive clear communication, regular updates, and the peace of mind that everything is being looked after responsibly while you’re away. I’m an adventurer at heart and enjoy hiking, biking, and exploring new places, so active pets are always welcome to join me on outdoor adventures. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and beautiful homes, and I approach every house sit with the same level of respect and attention I would expect for my own. I’m based in the Okanagan, enjoy traveling through house sitting, and generally prefer sits of four nights or longer.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care as my own. As a homeowner, I understand the importance of security and the trust required when inviting someone in. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keeping consistent with feeding, walks, and house rules so they feel safe and at ease. I maintain a calm, clean environment and prioritize safety on walks, during play, and throughout the home. Communication is key—I provide regular updates and check-ins so you always know your pets and your home are in good hands.
Ratings and reviews
Christina was so wonderful with both our dogs and we would highly recommend her. She spent 9 days with them and they were so happy and calm and very well loved. She took incredible care of our home and went above and beyond. The pictures she sent us showed how much fun she was having with the dogs and how happy they were in her care. She very capable, mature and responsible.
MOST WONDERFUL Experience. Christina looked after my 2 olde english bulldogges that can get sassy and have conflict. She followed my instructions EXACTLY and there was zero issues. She is extremely respectful, communicative and clean. Super amazing to have in home and made this the most enjoyable experience being away for 6 days. She loved and cuddled with my dogs like I do and they love her. 10 stars plus
This was our first time meeting Christina and having her stay overnight with Bean. Christina has a very calm energy and clearly loves animals. 10/10 good with communication, responsible, reliable, and "go with the flow" attitude. Will 100% book again.
Christina S. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
So unbelievably grateful for Christina! I reached out asking for care for my dog for a five night stay. It was his first time along with someone since his older dog brother has passed so I wasn’t sure how he would do. Christina said he was relaxed right away which made me happy before we had even caught our flight! Our trip was so much more enjoyable because Christina had sent pictures and videos with some updates. We didn’t have anything to worry about. We came back to a happy dog and a nice clean house. So appreciative of Christina and her diligence. Would highly recommend. 💛🐾
Christina was absolutely amazing with our dog, Benny! She cared for him overnight for multiple days and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time. Benny warmed up to her right away and we could tell he felt safe and content while in her care. Christina is incredibly caring and attentive, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was with her. We would highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and thoughtful sitter!

Schedule
Because I work from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily rhythm. I structure my days around both my work and the needs of the pets in my care—starting with morning pee breaks, feeding, and playtime before settling into my remote work. I work Monday-Friday 6 am-2 pm. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks to give pets attention, exercise, and companionship, ensuring they’re never left alone for long stretches. Afternoons and evenings are reserved for longer walks, outdoor adventures, or simply cozy downtime together. This balance allows me to provide consistent presence, comfort, and structure so your pets feel secure and cared for every single day.
