Highlights
Pet care experience
A pampered experience for your pet!
I began caring for animals when I was 14, working as a kennel assistant at a veterinary clinic all through high school. I walked, fed, and cleaned up after dogs of all sizes, and I regularly assisted with basic veterinary care. Now at 32, my love for animals is just as strong... and I hold 17 years of experience as a trusted pet sitter and caregiver for friends, family, and clients. Your pet's comfort and safety are my top priorities. I work to build a trusting relationship with every animal and their people, and I treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own. Here’s what I offer during overnight, in-home stays: 🐶 Daily photo and video updates to keep you connected while you're away 🛁 Pampering sessions with gentle brushing, cuddle time, and enrichment-based play 🍓 Fun, personalized activities (with permission!), including fruit tastings, doggy ice cream, treat puzzles, and sensory enrichment 💊 Medication administration and dietary support, backed by 4 years of hands-on vet clinic experience 🏠 Light home care like plant watering, mail collection, and tidying up, so you come home to a peaceful space Whether you’re gone for one night or ten, your pets will get one-on-one attention, enrichment, and loving care — not just basic tasks. My services are priced to reflect the high level of presence and commitment I bring to each stay. If you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and totally obsessed with making your pet feel safe and loved, I’d be honored to be your sitter.

Ratings and reviews
Sav was incredible! Our usually shy cat bonded with her immediately and she followed all of our instructions perfectly. We’ll absolutely be using her again in the future.
Sav was great! We definitely felt our cats and bearded dragon were in great hands with her! She took extra time with them and made sure to give them lots of affection. We also got tons of adorable update photos everyday. We definitely recommend and will be booking her again!
We had to make last minute plans for a housesitter while we went out of town, and Sav really came through for us! She came to our house to meet the pups, and our occasionally shy Berner took to her quickly. She reassured us they wouldn’t go longer than 4 hours without potty breaks while she was at work, and planned special treats throughout the week. We received regular updates throughout the week to reassure us further. I would absolutely recommend Sav to care for your pets and home.
Sav is such a considerate and caring sitter and treated my pets really well. Communicative and friendly and made us feel at ease!
Sav was absolutely outstanding in taking care of our dog, Piva. For context, Piva is a 65 lb dog that is seven years old and is typically not great with other dogs. Sav quickly became Piva's best friend over the December holidays. Sav provided photos of the daily journeys that the two took throughout the city and she even got Piva a little Christmas present. She stayed in the house and was the conscientious house guest. Thanks Sav!
I’ve known Sav for about a year and they are an incredible human being who is very caring, hardworking, and responsible. They love animals and are very patient. My dog needs to warm up to people as she is a little hesitant at first. Sav took the time to make her feel comfortable and safe. Sav will go above and beyond for you and your fur babies and I wouldn’t want to trust them with anyone else.

Schedule
I work during the week from 7 am to 3:30 pm, so I wake up at 5:30 am to care for pets before taking off for my work day. I'm also available on my late morning lunch breaks to run home and care for/let out pets for potty breaks. My work days end in the afternoon which is helpful for pet care. I do have hobbies such as going to the gym and playing with my band. These practices/visits/any appointments range from 1-2 hours, and come AFTER pet care! I am also off work Sundays and Mondays, so more time for pets!

- Feeding schedules, medication regimen, allergies, favorite walk routes are all important pieces of information to know about your pet. However, I also love to learn about their unique preferences and quirks! Does Max love belly rubs, but hate his paws touched? Check. Does Bella only sleep if tucked in with her blue elephant toy? No problem!
