Pet care experience

I'll love your dog like my own

Hi! I'm an experienced animal lover who has been fostering both cats and dogs for the past 3 years and volunteering in the rescue community. Caring for animals is a huge part of my life, and I've completed many successful pet care bookings through Rover. I truly love being surrounded by animals of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. My boyfriend, Sam, is also an active volunteer in the rescue community and fosters alongside me. He's a huge dog and cat lover and truly is the best dog and cat dad. He also helps with my dog sitting, cat sitting, and dog walking bookings, so your pets receive even more love, attention, and care while they're with us. Every pet is unique, and I'm happy to meet them where they are. Whether your pet: - Needs extra cuddles because of separation anxiety. - Is dog-reactive and requires solo walks. - Has special needs. - Is recovering from surgery and needs extra care. - Just wants someone to play with, exercise, and keep them company. I'm comfortable caring for dogs that many people may not be. My own dog was dog-reactive, so I understand the patience, confidence, and consistency they need. I also have firsthand experience caring for a dog recovering from ACL surgery, giving medications, and monitoring post-operative recovery. I don't have breed or size restrictions and am happy to care for dogs and cats of all temperaments. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I currently work from home two days a week and am in the office three days a week. On office days, your pet may be alone for part of the day unless arrangements are made. Outside of work hours, they'll receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship. I proudly serve the Ottawa and Gatineau areas and would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members! Dog Walking I currently offer dog walking services in Gatineau and downtown Ottawa. If I'm unavailable due to my work schedule or another commitment, Sam may complete your dog's walk instead. He has 3 years of fostering and rescue experience alongside me and provides the same patient, compassionate care that I do. I will always let you know in advance if Sam will be the one walking your dog. Please Note If your dog requires pee pads or routine cleanups that are not related to a medical condition, please book using the puppy rate. Medical-related cleanups are always included as part of their care.

Tori did a wonderful job looking after our three cats. She was consistently on time and genuinely attentive, taking the extra moments to pet them and spend real quality time with each of them. She also cleaned up any messes they made, keeping everything neat and stress-free for us. She is definitely our go-to person for pet care, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and dedicated.

Fantastic person. Even took Micky to the Vet as a result of him having a loose tooth! I recommend her very much.

We have had Tori stay with our pet family a couple times now. It’s as if they are her family too! We have two labs and Tori sends us pictures of them at parks, swimming and playing at home. It’s made for stress free vacations for us and we don’t feel guilty because they are being spoiled!

Tori was my dog walker for a couple year with my doggo Ezra. She was great with him and spent extra time just being there for him. He loved when she came over and it took a little bit of the stress off me to know he got extra love and exercise from her.

Disaster is the only word I can use here. Tori was hired to house sit and care for our dog and cat. She did not respect start or finish times for our contract, argued with the neighbours, and after three days decided she was no longer staying in our home. We returned to find a completely neglected cat with a litter box so filthy she had used house plants for her toiletting. The dog was not much better, depressed and completely lethargic. Photo updates during our trip were of Waldo lying on the couch with Tori's feet wrapped in my tablecloth, looking wistfully out of the window wearing a walking harness, and one on leash walk on the first day. If you want someone to completely neglect your animals, leave your home dirty and in disarray, as well as turn the thermostat up 15 degrees, then Tori is the perfect choice. From my perspective the experience was a nightmare and I will be lodging a formal complaint with Rover.

Good to know behaviors that dog may have, example on walks, being left alone. If they have funny little things they do when they are happy.
