Tori Mau
Resort Business Manager
Tori is a Cal Poly Alum with a background in geography, environmental science, and anthropology. Her love and true appreciation of dogs has been lifelong and began with her family pet and best friend, a yellow lab named Toby. Her passion and understanding for the human-canine bond has grown since becoming a part of the Thousand Hills family.
One of her favorite things while working is watching people and their dogs and cats reunite after the pets' stay. Tori is grateful to be a part of Son Care Foundation and to be able to represent Thousand Hills Pet Resort and our mission to provide caring, friendly, and fun care for each pet as if they were our own.
In her free time, Tori enjoys hiking in San Luis Obispo county, baking, and spending time with her boyfriend and their two dogs, Forest and Koda.
