Pet care experience
I have cats!! Your dog must be cat friendly!!!! Your animal MUST be up to date on all vaccinations, must be spayed/neutered, and must be on a flea prevention program. No exceptions as this endangers my animals. I've had dogs all my life and have been doing dog training for 5 years. I absolutely love puppies and dogs of all kinds! I want to give all of my love and snuggles and help take care of your dog. It’s been a while since I’ve had a dog and I just want to be around more dogs more often and spend my time taking care of them. I'm experienced with small, medium, and big dogs. I worked at a doggy daycare for two years and have been training dogs professionally for 10 years. I live close to several dog parks and have extensive experience with all breeds of dogs. I am able to administer oral medication, provide nonstop attention and doting affection, and help enforce boundaries you’ve created for your pup. I very much believe in a positive reinforcement approach towards dog training and am more than happy to help you with your goals for your pup. I don’t believe in stigmas towards “aggressive” dog breeds but do require that your dog is not reactive on a leash or aggressive towards other animals and people. Due to an unfortunate experience I do NOT offer drop off service ESPECIALLY at the airport! I also cannot accommodate unneutered or unspayed dogs due to dogs going into heat and make dogs doing nasty things to my belongings. I raised a puppy from the ages of 5 weeks to 7 months and was his primary caretaker, I trained him to walk off leash by the age of 3 months and have total recall. I can't wait to take your dog for lots of walks and snuggle them! I’ve been caring for animals since I was in elementary school, including exotic species and rehabilitating wildlife (including foxes, red tailed hawks, and many other birds). I’ve been dog sitting for 10+ years and have ample experience with all kinds of animals. I started working at a doggy daycare in 2015 and worked in another one until 2020. I also have lots of experience with reptiles, small mammals, cats, and fish! I can care for your bearded dragon or sphynx cat!
Reviews
Tori is great with animals and very personable. I received pictures every day !
Mack came home happy as a clam! Tori was very flexible as I booked last minute. She took good care of Mack and he got to play with her pup and cat. She took him on walks and to the dog park and sent me photo updates. Def will reach out to her next time I'm in Portland.
My pup had a phenomenal stay with Tori! She was a great communicator and I received plenty of pics while I was away. My dog had a huge smile on her face after her weekend stay. She was also very accommodating as I reached out to her last minute when my other sitter stopped responding to me. I absolutely recommend Tori and will ask of her again the next time I'm looking for a sitter!
She sent plenty of pictures but I don't think my dog had a very good stay. When I arrived I saw that my dog's muzzle had been used and I wasn't notified about it. He came home with black spots under his mouth and wasn't acting like a a very happy camper. I am afraid that she muzzled my dog because her apartment wasn't very clean and probably put stuff in his mouth that he wasn't supposed to. That being said he responds very well to treats, but not to the muzzle especially if it was left on for a long period of time. I'm not happy with how my dog is acting now that he is back. I'm also not very happy with Rover.

I can adhere to any training you’ve already got down and work on new training to address any behavioral issues you’ve noticed. There’s enough room to crate your pup at night if needed and more than enough exercise (we live up a few flights of stairs).

Information Tori M. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if your dog is good with other people, dogs, and cats. Your pet MUST be on a flea prevention program and up to date on their vaccinations. My cat is allergic to fleas and gets sores if bit. I do not accept animals that have fleas. If there is ANY history of aggression or reactivity, I need to know. If there’s been any bite history, attacks towards your dog, anything that’s traumatic in their lifetime, please let me know! If there’s any history of high prey drive, I won’t be able to care for your pup. Must be able to coexist peacefully and kindly towards cats. Additionally, I need to be informed if your dog is particularly talkative or barky I LOVE pit bulls and other breeds normally classified as mean or high maintenance
A typical day
Lots of walks and playing all the time. I live near a giant dog park that I really want to take your pup to! I love playing in the park and would love to throw a ball and play some fetch. Working on fun training exercises!

Availability
I work full time but I work with a client who allows dogs in their home. There’s an outdoor area that’s got a dog gate to keep your pup safe when they come with me to work. On the weekends, my schedule is completely open. I’d love to take your pup on hikes, to the dog park, or on adventures!
