Attentive Trusted Pet/House Sitter

Pet care experience

Howl! Hi there I’m Savi! I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies! I am a WFH songwriter & full time sitter/caretaker. I dropped my rates by 50% to accommodate more families. Service industry standard gratuity is deeply appreciated. As a lifelong artist (formally Vegas/LA/NY) I am accustomed to working all major holidays & weekends so count on me for your special events, holidays, celebrations & vacations. My lap dog accompanies me on overnighter/extended stays. After we speak, we will do an in person meet and greet introduction of your household to myself and my pup to insure we are all the right fit. In the event that our pets may not align, I can make arrangements for my pup. You will see from my reviews that we are a great package deal! My repeat clients prefer my little one to join me, as he is very well behaved/trained, gentle and friendly and provides wonderful social interaction with other animals. My corgi pom is socialized with all sizes of dogs from giant to tiny and is excellent with cats. He knows they are in charge and stays out of their way business (see his profile for more) I enjoy helping families by visiting and staying with pets in their home environment while pet parents work and travel. I have always had animals of my own (only one pup atm) Ranging from FURRY TO FEATHERED -as well as snakes, lizards, fish and plants. *Every living thing needs individualized care and attention and I am an experienced & confident caretaker. (I have also worked as a nanny, caretaker and house manager for 20+ years, specializing in newborn infant care, including first time parent support & training. My experience includes but is not limited to individuals with special needs including autism and many other varying mental/emotional/physical abilities. Happy to discuss further.) I am experienced with potty/house training, leash training, sleep training, as well as providing special diets. I am capable of cooking and preparing specialized diets precisely per pet parents instruction, as well as helping with suggestions for pets that might struggle with enough calorie intake. I am experienced administrating medications (oral/injection) and assisting with pups that suffer from old age limitations. From ailments to allergies to injuries. Let me know what you and your furbabies need and I’ve got you covered! ;) :) I also LOVE plants and gardens and keeping a *clean home. If I’m housesitting you will always return as nice or better than you left it. (Always respecting personal privacy of course)

Jessica was amazing! I was a little nervous at first leaving my fur babies since this was my first time using Rover. But she sent pictures and updates while we were away. She brought her dog with her too to keep my two dogs company and to play. Thank you again Jessica! ?

I will start by saying- I am helicopter dog momma. I was so nervous about having our girl stay at a strangers house, and was so worried she was going to be sad the entire time we were away. Rayne is a covid pup through and through so has lots of social anxiety, and is very emotional about it! This was the first time we have used rover and we were also in a bind with travel and dog care! Savi was an absolute life saver with the short time frame we gave her. She accommodated a same day meet and greet with us and prepared us for what was to come with Raynes stay. She told me exactly what to pack (including suggestions on comfort items) and what to expect her first day. She sent videos all the time (also she is pretty funny so this was an added benefit to her video check ins) which made us so happy and at ease while we were away. She updated us honestly- day 1 Rayne was a little sad, but this is normal- to keep us in the loop! By day 3 Rayne was very comfortable, and I could tell very well taken care of and loved. It was a decision that will lead to us having someone to help us long term. Such a stress relief to know we have someone to help us care for Rayne but beyond that a place with someone who truly loves and cares for pets! Their dog, Excelsior is also an absolute charmer and was a supporting role in Raynes comfort. They got along great! ❤️ Recommend all around- so long as nobody is booking with her so much that we cant ;)
