About: I treat every dog like they’re my own-with love, patience, and plenty of playtime! What sets me apart is the personal attention I give to each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether your dog is an energetic pup who needs structured play and training reinforcement, or a sweet senior who enjoys slow strolls and extra cuddle time, I adjust my care to fit their pace and comfort. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I’m confident handling everything from puppy potty breaks to administering medications for older dogs. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and fun environment so your pet feels happy and secure while you’re away. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my everyday life!

Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, it never feels like “work” it’s just a happy part of my day. I’m committed to giving your pet my full attention and care. When I care for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I stick closely to your pet’s routine such as their feeding times, walk schedules, potty breaks, and playtime so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I always make sure to follow your instructions carefully, from how they like their meals to their favorite toy or walking route. I keep the environment tidy, give lots of love and attention, and send regular updates with photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. I will treat your home with respect and your pet like family. :)
“Savannah looked after my two 4 month old kittens for 10 days. I was pretty stressed about leaving them because they haven't been alone since we adopted them. Savannah made all my worries disappear. She came every day to check on them and made sure they had everything they needed. I got great updates from Savannah every day. This was my first time using Rover and I would 100% use Savannah again.”
“Aimee was so great with my girl and treated her like her own! She left our house in perfect condition, watered dry plants before I even had to ask and left the sweetest thank you card and refilled our fridge with drinks which was not necessary at all!! I would definitely have Aimee watch her again. Thank you!!”

Katie C.
“Vermont’s loss is San Diego’s gain! Katie was a regular pet sitter for us when she lived in Vermont and we were so sorry to lose her. Our dog Mabel is very shy around most people, but not Katie. From day one, Katie established a great relationship with Mabel, giving us peace of mind that she was in great hands when we left for both short and long trips. Katie also took great care of our home. You could hardly tell she’d been here when we returned. If you’re looking for a responsible, knowledgeable and caring person to care for your pet, Katie’s your person.”
