“A true pet lover! My male adult cat is a bit stand of fish. She always treated him with kindness! Even when he ran off with her hair ties! Good natured , bubbly personality. Took care of Loki when I was gone. Feeding him and filling his water glass. YES, he’s one of those! Spoiled !”
Savannah J.
“Savannah has been an amazing sitter for my dog over the last two years. From their first meeting, Remy loved her and gets excited whenever she comes over to our house to stay with him. Savannah treats Remy like he was her own dog and enjoys sending me pictures of the two of them while I’m gone. I would recommend Savannah to anyone looking for someone whom you can trust with your fur family members. She is highly mature, responsible, and reliable.”
