Pet care experience
Hey there, I'm Tori My true passion is rescuing pets that need forever homes, I've been an animal lover since I could remember (4 years old). I want to make a better life for every pet out there. So far in my early years of life I've cared for 3 dogs of my own, from having a super calm lab mix to having a hound mix with anxiety and high energy. In 2018 I adopted a 5 month old lab pit mix from a high kill shelter through East Coast Adoptions. Taking on a high maintenance dog was extremely rewarding. He taught me so much, including patience and how to become a good trainer. Since 2021, I've been very successful in meeting new clients and helping them with their care needs through Rover. Message me to find out more about my services!
Reviews
Tori is awesome! Whenever I have her petsit for my dog and cat, I am confident that they are well cared for. She is responsible and reliable, and she truly loves both of my pets. I really appreciate that she always updates me throughout her stay, letting me know what everyone is up to and how the "babies" are doing. It is so much nicer having Tori at my home with my pets, than it is to have them stuck at the kennel. I could not be happier with her. Highly recommend!!
Victoria is a lovely, gentle, kind hearted person who loves and cares for animals deeply. Your fur babies will be in great hands with her! You need someone who is compassionate and loving to care for your animals and Victoria is that person!
Victoria “Tori” has had a love of pets since she was a very little girl. Tori cared for her 2 childhood dogs for their 13 years of life. This included feeding, watering, grooming, bathing, walking and giving medication (both pills and insulin shots daily). Tori has a very caring connection with animals. She has been a pet/house sitter for her neighbors who would vacation for a week or more at a time, through her teenage years. She has cared for pets and children of various families the past 4 years with dedication, showing responsibility and love. She is dependable and seeks good communication with families for their needs. Tori is highly recommended!

I had a fenced in yard growing up at my parents house that allowed my pups the exercise needed daily as well as afternoon walks. I will no longer be able to provide boarding/ overnight care as an option at this point but happy to work with your needs to come up with a compromise!

A typical day
I enjoy playing fetch outside in the backyard with one of my previous families! The four golden retrievers enjoyed playtime just as much as I did, followed by a big cuddle huddle afterwards inside. Every pup is different, I'm happy to cater to their preferences in outside play activities.
