Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong, diverse animal lover
Experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I grew up with two pitbulls from puppyhood to old age, and I currently have a 10 year old chihuahua mix. I worked full time in animal care for 3 years. I'm currently an in-home healthcare provider for children with special needs, so I am very familiar with the power of kindness, patience, and play for animals and people alike.
Cat care experience

Safety, trust & environment
I am someone who likes having structure to follow and will respect procedures and expectations. Personally, my dog is crate trained and he will make sure that I tuck him in at the correct time every night, and I make sure he doesn't go places where he isn't allowed.
Ratings and reviews
I have known Tory for over a decade, and they are exceptionally skilled and compassionate with animals. Tory grew up caring for a wide range of pets, including reptiles, dogs, cats, small animals, insects, and fish, which gave them a strong foundation in responsible animal care from an early age. In addition to their personal experience, Tory worked at PetSmart, where they developed hands-on skills in daily pet care, habitat maintenance, and support for a wide range of species and temperaments. They are especially patient and intuitive with shy, anxious, or reactive animals, and I’ve seen even the most nervous pets warm up to them quickly. Tory approaches every animal with kindness, respect, and attentiveness. If you choose Tory to care for your pet, you can trust that your animal will be treated with genuine love, thoughtful care, and careful attention to their individual needs.
Tory isn’t Just a good dog person, but an animal person all around. My dog, It’s It, who Tori knew for 1 minute instantly fell in love with them. Every time they are over it’s always love for It’s It.

Schedule
I typically start my workday around 2 pm, yet I have trouble sleeping in and will be out walking my dog around 7 am. My free time in the mornings allows for walks, training, and snuggles to be part of my daily routine.

- It’s always important to know any medical or behavioral needs. I will pay attention to body language to let the pet set the pace for how fast or slow, how close to get, and still use training experience to manage behaviors.
