Experienced zookeeper and trainer!
Pet care experience
I have been a sitter for neighbors since I was 8 years old and have taken great care of dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, birds, and more. I took a 2 year course in Vet Science where I learned all about small animals, basic medical care, and grooming. For my degree in Biology, I focused in animal behavior and was trusted to take excellent care of many lab animals. I am currently a zookeeper that provides the daily care and training for animals ranging from 3000 pounds to a few ounces!
Reviews
Dori was great to work with! We threw her a challenge with a very picky chihuahua and us being on an international trip (and therefore unable to be in communication if needed for a portion of the trip) and she was reliable and flexible. We will definitely be reaching out again in the future.
Dori understood my procedures and followed them perfectly.
Thank you as always!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will follow any guidelines you have set for the care your pet needs in your home. I am comfortable with most forms of animal handling for pets of all sizes. As a zookeeper, my full-time job is to make sure the animals under my care are happy, healthy, and safe, whether that’s at the zoo or at your home.
Information Dori T. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know the basic personality of your pet and what they enjoy doing on a daily basis. It is also important to know if they are reactive to other animals and what things I should look out for on walks to ensure we have the safest and least stressful experience together.
A typical day
I love to provide all kinds of enrichment for pets, whether it’s from treats and toys or from exploring new places and smelling new smells!
