Victoria Standish
Front Desk Associate
Victoria is a familiar face at TCC's front desk, and she is always ready to welcome pups into daycare with a smile. She has been working with dogs since she was a child, first starting out by dog-sitting for neighbors and soon graduating to working as a veterinary technician before coming to TCC. She originally was accepted into art school, but instead chose to work towards her associate degree in science. Victoria was inspired to work with dogs because of her family's rescue dog, Sadie who had multiple health issues requiring round the clock care. Devoted to ensuring the best life possible for her beloved dog, Victoria was the one who stepped up and did everything she could to make Sadie comfortable and happy for her 14 years of life. Now, Victoria enjoys working with her cockapoo puppy Daemon in her spare time as well as painting, drawing, reading and spending time with her significant other, Eric.
