MIDTOWN Private Care

Pet care experience

Hello pet parents, I am addicted to spending my days with cats and dogs. I call my animal folks part of my midtown petgo club. Fell in love with animals since I was 6 when my parents started helping their friends babysit their pets while they were travelling. Note that - For any of my returning clients and Grogu’s friends, I am happy to offer a friendlier rate to house and play with your fur baby. #communityreallymatters #animallover #dogmum _________________ My friends and family call me a natural dog mom. Always hoped to have my own animal farm one day when I’m an old lady in a house on the farm. :) I love fall and winters and I love to walk mindfully with my animal friends in the nature and on the snow. My dog lives with my family full time at their home. When I am providing care to my Rover babies, if they prefer to have a play date, I am happy to invite Grogu; if they prefer Grogu not be present, I definitely will leave him at my family home. Currently, I reside in midtown (Yonge and Eglinton). The location is close to Alexander Muir Park, Cedarville park, Windston Churchill dog park, Sherwood Park (off leash) and Eglinton park(on leash or off leash can play with other dogs). I have a car for pick up and drop offs l. as well as for commutes to my housesitting locations. I genuinely love spending time with animals. They made my day shine. If your furry pet have anxiety, I will stay with them during the whole stay to calm them down and make them feel at ease. Recently, I graduated with my iMBA degree. Caring for cats and dogs in the community is my passion. I’m hoping to learn more about pet behaviour and psychology so that I could offer the best caring and reliable pet home services for the community. Giving is loving and it really does makes me feel fulfilled spending time with animals especially those in need their own peaceful safe space, more accommodations and loving care. History: I grew up with a Cockerpoo in Bayside, Queens, New York; had another cream Cockerpoo during my college years. Now, my third dog Grogu is a mini cockapoo. He is almost 2 and fully trained and vaxed. During the pandemic and end of a super busy Business School routine, I started helping out my neighbours to walk and sit their dogs midtown. My friends, coworkers and return Rover clients trust me with their cats and dogs. I get help from my family to walk big sized dogs. They also live in the area, just above the Eglinton subway station. We can meet you right at the Starbucks, Pi Co. patio and fountain, in front of the Eglinton station south exit for easy pick up and drop off, or I offer the personal concierge service as an add-on or complimentary service. Personal history Re academics and professional: Work from home ATM; Ex-bay street corporate finance, post MBA. I am looking for social and community impact to fulfill my soulful spirit and purpose in this life. Over the pandemic, I completed a super challenging bschool program that truly exhausted me. And, I decided to work from home. My mobile schedule is self determined on weekly basis. I put my animal friends in priority. Dog walking is part of my daily exercise routine as I enjoy the woods the same way any dogs do. My availabilities are updated weekly and they are accurate. I can board dogs at nights whenever if u give me sufficient notice. It does get booked fast over the fall and winter holiday season. Though, I do prefer housesitting if your dog prefers private care and sleep at home for max comfort and low anxiety. Free to book from this app. Just DM, provide me with an intro and talk about your schedule requirement I will be happy to accommodate and make adjustment to the bookings if you are new or need help troubleshooting. I have a fenced balcony at the condo location. A inside is laminate floor, comfortable carpets to put in the play area and dog toys for the tough chewers or puppies. We are surrounded by parks and grass lands in the midtown area. Lots of dogs to meet and socialize with should you prefer. I talk to your pets and socialize with them at the parks doesn’t matter what park your dog like, provincial parks, or city dog parks, I am happy to drive there and have a discovery walk together. Concierge and private care to your one to three pets if they need special care, ie medication intake, shy, anxiety, etc. I am fully empathetic to puppies and senior dogs who needs more time and attention. And I have the patience and time to do so this fall and winter term.

Christina house sat for us while taking care of Morty. She was very responsive and gave us very frequent updates. He had an upset stomach on day 1 and she nursed him back to perfect health! Our house was tidy and clean when we arrived - thanks Christina for the great experience!

Christina is a patient, caring, and thoughtful sitter. She is reliable and will genuinely follow up with you to make sure she has all the details for taking care of your dog. She also communicates regularly with us about our dog, taking frequent pictures and showing us the cute moments he was having. Even when we were away from home, we felt assured that our dog is in good hands. I have strong confidence in Christina and am very happy with her service.

This is my second time leaving Mylo and Yenta with Christina. Christina kept me updated all day with pictures and updates. I felt at ease knowing Mylo and Yenta were in good, loving, and caring hands. I will definitely be booking with Christina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good home away from home for your fur babies.

I walk them once every 1-3 hours, depending on your pup’s needs. I photo and video your pet through out the day and share with pet parents in the chat. They can sleep inside bedroom on the floor and they can play on my balcony. I have a large dog bed and I have a green grass dog loo if they want to potty on the balcony. got lots of dog toys for them too. They are cleaned once a week in my laundry to make sure they are always sanitized. Consider my home a happy air b and b stay for your furry. Mama dog Christina will take care of them and provide them the fun and loving of a vacation stay.

A typical day

I take dogs to Sherwood park, Eglinton park, Alexander Muir, Cedavale park etc. There is fun offleash area for them to run hike and even swim. I also have the Chuck It toys to play fetch with them. I am five mins walk away from Sherwood park. And ten mins walk away from Eglinton park. That is great place for training and just off leash sessions if your dog prefers to run around in a safe place. Have a car to transport them from your home. So rain and shine, I will make sure your fur baby get the daily exercise with me! I love to have an exercise partner in crime all season long! =D for real!!! Note that I am allergic to the summer woods and trees. I love winters cuz I won’t have allergy attacks outdoor with your fur baby :). I love playing with them in the snow!! My favourite time of the year is winter! Get your snow love dogs ready for me. I will run with them!!!

WORK from HOME: Rover is my passion and community services. Based midtown, sometimes uptown to visit family and friends. Other than my work when I’m on call, I am generally with your furry 24/7. Exceptions apply, when sitters run to get food and groceries or attend doctors appointments for health and safety purposes. Things happen sometimes. So please stay with me on rover updates. I will provide timely updates via the chatbox throughout the day and night. The app can also track where I am and track all the walks the pup take with detailed tracing on a map.
