Tori has taken care of our almost 2 year old German Shepard since she was 6 months old whenever we go away on trips or to visit family, sometimes for trips as long as a week. Tori has shown great care and professionalism when watching our dog, Koa. Koa is trained in French, German and English, using the balanced training method. She also is prong collar and crate trained. Tori has always been committed to learning and following our routines and guidelines for Koa and whenever we return from our trip, all of her training and habits are in place, which is something we have had issues with in the past with other sitters. Koa is also still not spayed yet, and Tori has watched her when she has been in diapers multiple times with ease. We stick to time frames between eating, drinking and play for Koa because of her breed, and Tori has always made sure to ensure she is following those timelines for her safety. Koa can range from super active and wanting to play with high drive, to lazy and ready for an afternoon of napping, and Tori always matches her needs based on how she is feeling that day, often sharing updates on her check ins. It is great to know when we are gone that we have somehow who cares for Koa as much as we do. In addition, she always leaves our home in great condition, often better than we left it!
