My routine is built around being present. I have the flexibility to stay in your home, ensuring your pet’s environment remains stable and stress-free while you are away. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy exercise routine for an active pup, managing a strict medication schedule for a senior, or simply providing a warm lap to curl up on during my work hours, I am able to prioritize your pet's needs at any time of day. You won't have to worry about long stretches of solitude; I’m there to provide the snacks, the walks, and the specialized care exactly when they need it. For boarding, your pet would stay with me in my home 🏡 my yard is unfenced but there is plenty of space to run, and I have leashes of various lengths for outside play time. I'm happy to take your pup on car rides to run errands or to go to a local park for a hike 🐾 I don't mind pets on furniture or in bed 🐈‍⬛

Safety, trust & environment

When I stay in your home, my priority is providing a seamless "replacement parent" experience so your pets never feel a significant gap in their routine. Because of my professional background, I take the security of your home very seriously. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing that: Continuous Presence: I am there throughout the day, which is a natural deterrent and keeps your home looking "lived-in." Professional Responsibility: I am exceptionally detail-oriented and respectful of your space, following all house rules and security protocols to the letter. Specialized Medical Care: I am fully comfortable staying overnight with seniors or pets with chronic conditions (like diabetes or sensory impairments) who require late-night or early-morning monitoring. Home Tidiness: I maintain a clean, quiet environment and ensure mail is collected, plants are watered, and everything is exactly as you left it. I also have experience in the water mitigation field, so should any issue arise with an appliance or anything in your home, I know how to respond quickly and mitigate further issues.

Information VICTORIA H. would like to know about your pet

To ensure your pet feels completely safe and comfortable, I believe that open communication is the key to a successful stay. I want to step into your shoes as seamlessly as possible, which is why it is so important to share any special needs, restrictions, or unique quirks ahead of time. Whether it’s a strict medication schedule for a chronic condition, a specific dietary restriction, or even just a fear of thunder or the vacuum, knowing these details allows me to provide the most empathetic and prepared care possible. No detail is too small—from how they like their ears scratched to how they react to seeing another dog on a walk. If your pet has sensory challenges like being blind or deaf, or if they have specific "house rules" they need to follow, please let me know. Having this information upfront ensures I can maintain their routine perfectly, keep them out of stressful situations, and give you total peace of mind while you're away.

A typical day

Every pet is an individual, so I tailor our "fun" to exactly what makes your best friend happiest! I’m always happy to pick up a specific toy or treat if that’s what the "pet parent" knows they’ll love. For my high-energy friends, we’ll head to the park for a "sniffari" and a brisk walk to burn off that extra steam. For my senior or more relaxed companions, "fun" might just mean a quiet afternoon of ear scratches and relaxing together at home. Whether it’s an adventurous outing or a cozy movie marathon on the couch, I follow your lead and your pet’s pace to ensure they are having the best time possible while you're away.

Your Pup's Fave Replacement Parent!

Pet care experience

I accept last minute requests :)🐾 My alternate/emergency backup sitter is Kelli B. (Also a sitter on Rover) Meet & greets are complimentary 🐩 Services: ~boarding (my home) ~house sitting (your home) ~drop-ins ~dog walking As a dedicated dog mom to a high-energy Border Collie/Labrador mix, I truly understand the level of commitment, patience, and exercise it takes to keep a pup happy and thriving. My home is a place of boundless energy and love, which has prepared me to step in as a seamless replacement parent for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Throughout my years of sitting, I’ve gained extensive experience with a diverse range of needs, from high-octane athletes to gentle senior souls. I am highly proficient in specialized care, including strict dietary management, insulin injections, oral pill administration, and the careful application of eye drops. I also have a deep heart for dogs with sensory challenges; having cared for both blind and deaf pups, I know how to use touch, vibration, and clear hand signals to ensure they feel safe and secure. My goal is always to provide the same empathetic, intuitive care you do, so your best friend feels cherished and understood every moment you’re away.

Tori is an amazing pet sitter! She cared for my two large, energetic dogs for 4 days in my home. She kept me informed with photos and notes so I could relax, knowing my dogs were happy and safe. Tori reached out to clarify instructions to ensure the dogs' safety. The dogs absolutely love her! She is The Best!!

Tori was absolutely amazing. I was nervous due to the fact that I have a dog.That is very high strung, but she is sweet.But she barks a lot and can be a little intimidated until you get to know her. Dory came in, did her magic and had no problem with my dog iris I also have a fourteen year old dog named zarrah that needs special care because she's old.And can't jump up on things and sometimes has trouble walking.And I knew she was in good hands with tori. The house was exactly.As I left it, you would have never known that I left and someone stayed here overnight. Tori sent pictures of the dogs through the night and in the morning and put my mind at ease

I can not say enough great thing about, Victoria! She was absolutely great with our pets. They were so relaxed when we returned home. She was unbelievable at the care she gave them between cuddle and giving medication. She provided daily updates with photos. On top of all that, the house was immaculate upon return. I absolutely would book her services again and can not highly recommend her enough!
