**Best Little HouseSitter in BC**

Pet care experience

**What makes a House-Sitter the Best?** I'm a digital nomad (I work from my computer) and am a highly experienced in-home sitter. I am home (with your pets) 98% of the time as I'm self employed (lutznutrition.ca) and would love to help you with homecare while you're away on business or pleasure. ***PLEASE READ MY FULL PROFILE BEFORE INQUIRING TO BOOK*** I take bookings for house or petting sitting that are longer than 2 weeks only! Osoyoos to Rock Creek to Kelowna. I am self employed as a Holistic Nutritionist & energy medicine in my practice. I leave happy calm sparkly energy in your SUPERBLY clean home. My ex-career as a motel & residential cleaner means you get to arrive to a *sparkling* clean home. This service is not extra, it is built into the price. The majority of my time there while you're away on your business or pleasure trip is in the home! I have many repeat clients for a reason! I am an animal whisperer! . I'm flexible and adaptable. Leave me a list and a key and I’ll take care of the rest! I've been caring for homes & its pets for 7+ years, you can rest easy. . . My Protocols: I treat your pets the way a dog trainer taught me to, and I won’t ‘bend rules’ while you’re away (ie. treats they aren't allowed) - I don’t ever enter the owners’ or childrens’ bedrooms - I clean upon both entering & leaving - I show up after you leave & leave before you arrive back home - I leave a note of any details from my time & send pet pics often to update you - . **Other Services** As a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, I can offer a balanced, healthy meal waiting for you upon your arrival home if you have a late flight or are tired of take out. This is an additional fee, just ask! House need smudged & energetically taken care of? Just ask! . **My Experience** I can sit both empty houses or houses with dogs, cats, hens, rabbits, iguanas, fish, rats, greyhounds, cattle dogs or terriers. I've been in small apartments to large farm houses on acres. I have cared for horses, snakes and even wildlife like feral cats, skunks, hummingbirds, deer and marmots :) . **Service Areas** Osoyoos, Oliver, Penticton, Kelowna. North Okanagan/Shuswap & Kootenays with travel costs covered. . **A Little About Me!** Born and raised in Osoyoos BC, I love being on the road which is how I fell into house sitting. A friend asked me to watch their house for 3 months one winter while they went away and the rest is history. I teach yoga, meditation, I run groups online and teach about wellness and food sovereignty. I facilitate womens healing circles. I love swimming, doing yoga and eating fruit. If you want to talk about booking me for house sitting in the Okanagan, let's chat.

Raina watched our dog and home for 5 nights. I was nothing but impressed with her the entire time. Great communication throughout, my dog was well cared for and the house was well looked after. Sadie even went looking for Raina the morning after she had left. :) 10/10

Raina was exceptional looking after our home and pets while we were away. I would definitively recommend her for pet or house sitting services. I have booked her for 2 more stays this summer. My dogs are going to love it!!

Raina does a great job with our dog Callie which leaves us with nothing to worry about except to enjoy our vacation. I would highly recommend Raina to take care of your pets and home.

Raina did a great job looking after our 2 busy dogs including our 8 month old puppy. The house was kept well and the dogs were happy when we returned home. I appreciated how much time she spent with the dogs. Thank you Raina!

Information Raina D. would like to know about your pet

I am a list person, and love when folks leave me a list of the house, pets routines and their quirks. However I'm a self starter so even with no list I have great common sense and can manage very well without bothering you while you're busy taking care of what you love to do! I like sending photo updates so you can feel confident that all is well back home.

A typical day

I let your pet relax in the environment they know best - your home. They'll get as close to their regular routine as you like.

I work from my laptop wherever I'm landed and I don't go out shopping/drinking/socializing (minimalist/sober/entrepreneur/homebody!) so there is lots of time in the day for your pets to get cared for.
