I work in education, so I have school holidays off. I'm off at 3:30, check in with my regular at 4 and am done with her by 4:15 so I am free on weekdays after that. On weekends I am completely open.

I like to meet with you if I can the first time to see exactly how you'd like things done. I enjoy sending status photos and am always near my phone if there are any last minute details you need to get to me.
Information Victoria M. would like to know about your pet
If they have any special diets, behaviors with strangers, preferred way to enter the home. I'll be coming to you, so any areas of the home I and the pets are welcome.
A typical day
I like to sit with them at their level (on the floor) or hang out in the backyard to sky watch on good days. I really let them show me their personalities and dictate our interactions.

Pet care experience
Howdy, I'm Tori! I'm a calm and patient sitter who specializes in earning the trust of shy or anxious pets. The dog, who is now a daily regular of mine, that started my interest in providing services for more pets, started out terrified of me; she was so unsure, she wouldn't even come back inside the house for me from the backyard. I learned quickly not to push or rush her, just give her space, consistency, and a calm presence. Now she runs to greet me, wiggling and whacking everything with that happy tail like we are the bestest of friends (Anxiety meds did help but now she doesnt even need em). Most of my personal pet experience comes from having kitties, so I'm very comfortable with sensitive, independent, or slow to warm up personalities. I live in an apartment, so I am only available for drop in visits. I like to focus on keeping routines steady, creating a quiet environment, and communicating clearly with owners so you always know how your pet is doing. I love all animals, even scalies, and work hard to ensure each one feels safe, respected, and cared for.
Reviews
I’ve known Nikki for well over a decade, and she has always been amazing with animals. She’s the kind of person who doesn’t just love pets — she understands them. She pays attention to their needs, gives them tons of affection, and knows how to care for them responsibly. Nikki was the primary caretaker for her own pets for years, and she’s the one who always noticed when they weren’t feeling well, whether it was something minor or something that needed a vet visit. She kept her pets on a healthy feeding schedule and made sure they got both wet and dry food based on their needs. I’ve seen her pet sit for others, including a coworker’s two dogs and cat, and she followed every instruction perfectly — from dietary requirements to daily walks. She’s also cared for my family’s pets (we have four dogs and an exotic bird), and she handled everything beautifully. She was always quick to answer calls and texts, and she followed every rule for my bird with extra care and attention. I trust Nikki completely with any animal. She’s responsible, attentive, and genuinely loving. Anyone who books her can feel confident their pets will be well cared for and safe.
I can’t say enough great things about Tori as a dog walker and sitter. She’s incredibly caring, dependable, and genuinely loves animals. My dog always gets excited to see her, and I never worry when she’s in her hands. She sends updates, pays attention to every little detail, and truly goes above and beyond. If you want someone who treats your fur baby like family, she’s the one! 🐾💕
Tori has been working with me for almost 12 years. She is extremely reliable, honest and my fur babies love her. She is very diligent and responsible looking after my fur babies and house sitting.Her communication skills are wonderful. She gives each fur baby their individual attention. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats. When she enters our home we see the fur babies celebrating her arrival🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽 I would recommend her 100%
Tori is amazing and I would 100% trust her with our pets again and again. She watched our dog Hope, a nervous 33 lb Labradoodle, and did such a great job with her. She has also watched our parents dogs and cats, sometimes watching three dogs at the same time. Tori shows up on time, goes above and beyond with her care for the doggies and cats, and is very dependable. She sends update photos and she’s a photographer so you know they’re gonna be good photos. She’s everything you want in a dog sitter and more. Don’t hesitate! Book her!
