Safety, trust & environment

I'd be happy to care for your pets in the comfort of your own home, or welcome them into mine. Your pets safety and happiness is always of the utmost importance to me. I always make sure it’s an amazing vacation for them with lots of love and attention. I recently adopted a small young dog of my own, so if boarding with me, please let me know if your dog is not friendly with other dogs. If your dog needs solitude I am happy to stay at your home, and I am always respectful of your space. Whether you need me to care for your cats, dogs, or any other animals, I will treat them as if they were my own. I am very clean, and always leave homes the way I found them when I house sit. I have many references in regards to housesitting; I've sat for many families over the years and am incredibly trustworthy.

Information Savannah D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets have any special needs, quirks, a schedule, or specific things that make them comfortable, so I can make sure they are at their happiest and healthiest with me.

A typical day

I love to play and keep pets I care for entertained. I take dogs outside for walks often, and make sure they are stimulated with playing ball, tug of war, or whatever they prefer. I also am a very grounded person so I enjoy relaxing and spending quality time with them indoors too, if you have cats or a couch potato dog, I am adaptable! They will always receive lots of pets, affection, and praise. On top of that, I always send adorable photos of your pet to you when they are in my care! I know how it feels to be away and missing your pet, so I make sure to keep you updated.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Savannah, and I'm a young, active, animal lover. I've had many different pets throughout my life, you name it, I've probably had at least one! I adore ALL animals - I prefer them over people if I'm being honest haha. I have 15+ years of experience caring for all types of pets. I've cared for both young and old pets, as well as those with special medical needs that required specific feeding times, injections, pills etc. I do very well with pets that’s are picky with people, as I have a very gentle presence that makes them feel safe. I’ve never had a negative experience with anyone’s pet. Rover allows me to fill my time with more quality time with animals, as they bring so much joy into my life. I treat each one that I meet with the utmost love and care, as if they were part of my family. I’ve often been called an animal whisperer because of my natural connection with them. Looking forward to caring for your pets :)! (Please note, I do have a small dog of my own if you are boarding with me, if your dog needs to be alone I am happy to house sit at your home instead).

Savannah clearly loves animals and took good care of my pup who is anxious and has some daily medications. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures! It put my mind at ease knowing how well cared for my pup was. The house was very clean and neat as I had left it when I got back as well!
