Safety, trust & environment

I have no animals at the moment, for I am adjusting and adapting to the necessities of owning an animal, through the training of Rover. I always make sure I know what the pet NEEDS for the whole sit, in detail. I'll take notes and I am extremely calculated, detailed, and organized.

Information kristina-marie c. would like to know about your pet

Let me know anything of hazard to the pet(what to NOT give or have around them) let me know their personality & one thing they LOVE to hear, do, or eat. I need to know times of feeding or medication, and HOW it will be consumed(if I need to blend, cut up,mix, seperate contents); status of being around other dogs; signals of being uncomfortable (too cold, hot, dehydrated, starved, bathroom breaks); injuries and pain spots to avoid and take caution with... if theirs mental or physical past trauma I want to know what triggers so I can completely Avoid that action or word(s)

A typical day

We may do some yoga stretches, go on a walk, watch animal shows if the owners knows the won't attack the screen:); eat, hydrate, cuddle, play with toys.

All dog energy is love & bliss

Pet care experience

I am a very disciplined, organized, and present in all things I do; I am also very observant. I think it's interesting how I have a birthmark on the inside of my right ankle that is a replica of a puppy paw print. My family always calls me the dog whisperer because any and every dog I've met in my life always is so sweet to me. I've never had a bad interaction with a puppy in my 26 years of living. I am a positive, high vibe, Galleleo type of girl who can complete any task with a side of joy. My motto is P.L.U.R.(peace love unity respect.)

She is the best dog sitter. I have no worries when I go out of town. Christie Marie keeps you posted on the day to day activities and takes not only great care of your pet but your home as well.

Daytona was wonderful. She took great care of our 2 chihuahuas and our apartment. She went beyond and took them on super long walks for extra exercise and she sent us tons of photos and videos each day. She is very friendly and communicative, she even tidied up the house before she left. We’d love to have her again!

Daytona was amazing with my senior fur babies! I booked her last minute for a week, and she was so kind, attentive, and communicative the entire time. She truly cared for them like they were her own, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
