About our guest:

Hi! I'm Tori Levitt and it is my daily mission to help others. For 14+ years, I've combined farm- girl grit and a caring heart to build a business from scratch and successfully grow a viable company known as Doolittle's Doghouse

My on-the-job experiences with 1000's of dogs and my team of 40+ pet nannies, has been a journey of joy, albeit with some mistakes I want to help other pet sitters avoid. I subscribe to the adage that "life is like a camera: focus on the big picture; develop from the negative and if it doesn't work out, take another shot!
