Availability
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.

About Christina S.
Communication
Skills
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.
Information Christina S. would like to know about your pet
It’s important to me to respect the training, routines, and boundaries you’ve worked so hard to build with your dog. Please let me know any rules or systems you have in place, and I’ll be sure to follow them closely. I don’t encourage begging, and I always honour your preferences when it comes to things like people food, treats, or household boundaries. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable and cared for while keeping consistency with the structure they know and thrive in.
A typical day
A typical day with me is all about balance—keeping your dog engaged, happy, and cared for. Depending on their age, energy level, and favourite activities, we’ll mix in fun and enrichment throughout the day. I love playing sniff games with treats, which give dogs a chance to use their noses and stay mentally stimulated for quite a while. While I work from home, your dog will never feel alone—they often curl up beside me, enjoying snuggles and company. I take breaks to let them outside for pee breaks, and then we finish the day with a proper walk around 2 p.m., so they get exercise, fresh air, and a chance to explore. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or downtime, I make sure your pet feels engaged, relaxed, and loved.

Pet care experience
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.
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.
