Pet care experience
I have always had a passion for animals and wildlife. As an experienced former veterinary technician with a degree in Animal Science from the University of Vermont, I stayed true to passion throughout my career. Twice a week I volunteer in the animal clinic at NEAS, the local animal shelter. During the spring, summer and fall I work on the beach as a Conservation Biologist. My love of animals and especially dogs started when I was very little, and continued through my adult life, until I finally got my own little love. Having a high energy German Shepherd means I am used to breeds of all sizes and exercise requirements. My dog and I live a very active lifestyle, with frequent runs, walks and trips to the woods and beach. Even though we live in an apartment, we still make time to stretch our legs! I hope I can help you do the same for your dog. I provide walking services, house visits and medication or fluid administration if needed as part of the pets daily regiment. I am able to walk your dog during the week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (anytime from 9-5) for 30min-1hr (whatever is best for your pet!). Cuddles, kisses and hugs are free of charge! I get just as much joy out of it as your dog does.
Reviews
Savannah is by far the best pet sitter I have ever met! She brings so much knowledge of animal health and needs, which combined with her love of animals of all shapes and sizes makes her a perfect fit! She is energetic, and definitely has a unique ability to connect with all types of animals! I never feel anxious leaving my pets with Savannah because I know they are in the best possible hands. She is my go to call for overnight visits, and daily walks. I'm not sure who enjoys the time together more, Savannah or my pets!
Savannah is the most rad dog sitter ever. If my dog can't have "mom" then he wants Savannah. I've never seen a 65 pound dog leap into the air the way mine does when he sees Savannah. She makes sure that he gets the right amount of play and energy out and the right amount of treats, love and cuddles. She knows how to deal with his many food allergies and his medications for arthritis thanks to her experience working in veterinary hospitals. She is the perfect mix of fun for a doggie and compassionate. She will treat your pup as if it were her own and they will think they are. Have a kitten friend? Savannah is great with them too. They think she is a giant cushion for them and definitely do not hide but come out to play for Savannah's visits. She's good with all animal needs and feeding regiments.
Savannah is amazing with all animals. I have never met a person who has such an inmate connection between them self and an animal. I don't think there is animal that she does not like and visa versa. Savannahs relationship with her own dog is like no other. Her dog would do anything for her and visa versa. I've seen her train a goat, talk to a cow in Spanish and sing to sooth a sick dog. Any animal that knows Savannah is a friend for life.

A typical day
Depending on the needs of your dog, I can provide various levels of canine entertainment. If you'd like your dog to do a little exploring, we can go for hikes in the Fells or Salem Woods. In the off season, I love to take dogs to the beach where they can play in the sand and the waterline. I am also happy to take trips to the local dog park. Runs are always on the table! My dog and I go running all the time and would love another companion to join us. During pet sitting, dogs will provided with at least an hour of exercise a day, in addition to their bathroom breaks.
