Highlights
Pet care experience
Certified Animal Reiki practitioner
I have been a life-long animal lover. I met a newborn calf on a farm when I was about 8 years old & I was a vegan for almost 10 years. I have had many rescue animals of my own over the the past 15 years but I'm recently divorced so no pets of my own currently. Now I have a lot more flexibility & freedom in my schedule to do house pet sitting & dog walking. I have a level 2 certificate in Animal Reiki healing & will be getting basic first aid and CPR training for animals this summer.
Cat care experience
Christine Marie also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
In my past life before becoming an artist, I was an accountant for over a decade & my fingerprints have been registered with the financial securities broker systems. I have a very positive reputation professionally & personally in my community. My freelance business which is contingent on having great reference allows me the lifestyle to be a pet sitter.
Ratings and reviews
Christine is always so helpful and attentive to my two dogs and cat. She is very communicative and takes good care of my home as well while I’m away. She makes the stress of travel much easier knowing my pets are well tended to.
Christine stayed with our cats as the first sitter we haven’t known personally, and I had pre-warned her that one of our cats is pretty shy and anxious. He turned out to be even moreso than we anticipated and hid the whole weekend—she did a great job working out a way to feed him while distracting our other much more confident, VERY food motivated cat. Would definitely book with her again!
Christine is always great with Ozzie and Beaux! This is our second time booking her and we will be booking her again in the future
Christine watched my dog and my house for nearly a month while I was out of the country. It was the longest I had ever left my dog so I was definitely anxious. Christine provided plenty of updates of all the fun adventures they had while I was away and let me know that my dog was doing just fine. She watered our garden and took fantastic care of our house too! I returned home to a very happy dog and the house just the way we left it. So greatly appreciate Christine’s commitment to providing exceptional care!!!
Christine is great with Bug! :)
Christine is really great and attentive to my pets when I’m away! Very communicative.

Schedule
I have a very flexible schedule, am mostly free during the early afternoon & mid-day so I like to get plenty of peak sun time outdoors. I do part time work in finance & also work as a freelance digital artist which is fully remote so I can keep pets company during the work day or take them out as needed. I do not have pets of my own or children so I can usually fit last minute requests in for repeat customers.
