Let me adore your furry friend!
Pet care experience
Review from friend: “Torina is terrific with animals, almost to a fault, putting the needs of your precious fur babies well beyond even her own. Growing up and caring for animals most of her life, Torina has a natural born connection to all living things and can be trusted with even your most picky and demanding pets. Punctual, wonderful communicator, and passionate for all living creatures, are just a few of the words I would use to describe Torina. I would recommend Torina to care for anyone of your beloved furry friends!”
Reviews
Tori is wonderful. Caring and conscientious in every way.
First and foremost Tori is the sweetest and most thoughtful sitter! My wife and I booked Tori to watch our two pups and one cat for our wedding weekend. One of our babies is particularly sensitive to upsets in his routine and struggles with anxiety and will often not eat if he’s feeling stressed or we’re not around. The very first night Tori sent me a photo of him eating and I nearly cried! The relief that he felt safe and comfortable was all I needed to stop worrying and fully enjoy our wedding. Tori was so respectful of us, our babies and our space. She provided routine updates and photos and even additional notes for our return and truly tried to simulate our everyday routine for the pups. 100% recommend Tori and look forward to having her come visit our pups again in the future!
Tori was an excellent sitter for my first big trip of the year out of the US. Of course my trip coincided with the biggest snowstorm of the winter so far, and I was too far away to be of any real help. Tori made sure my dogs were safe and comfortable, and went the extra step of ensuring my house survived the extreme weather. She was very communicative and kept me informed about the weather, house and dogs. We had one incident where one of my dogs got into some non-dog friendly snacks, but Tori was on it! She informed me, and contacted a local vet as a precaution. All was well in the end. I highly recommend Tori for your pet care needs!
Torina was lovely with our pups. It’s always reassuring to know that your furry friends are well taken care of while away. I highly recommend Torina for your pet care needs!
About Torina G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am a musician and do most of my work in the morning, but I am flexible and will do whatever I can to make a schedule that works for both of us. Communication is key, I know, and you can count on my very best. In clients’ homes, I am clean and conscientious—you won’t even know I was there! My goal is to leave a place just as good as how I found it, if not better. If I have questions, I am not afraid to ask them.
Information Torina G. would like to know about your pet
Please provide a brief description of your dog’s mannerisms, behaviors, what works well, what doesn’t work well, and any training topics you are currently working on.
A typical day
I will give your dog the mental and physical exercise needed for a full day, with a good combination of outdoor exercise and downtime. I like to explore the neighborhood and go on nearby trails as well as the dog park.

I have always lived with animals and understand their behaviors and how to communicate with them perhaps better than the average person; I trained a husky puppy with my boyfriend and also assisted my parents with training several kittens growing up.
