Meet Savanna, The Savvy Sitter

Hello!

I am Savanna, Owner and Founder of The Savvy Sitter, Pet Sitting and Dog Walking, LLC. I have grown up with animals all my life and enjoy spending time with them. I have lived in the Winter Garden and Windermere Area for over 30 Years. Though I do not have any animals myself, I love taking care of them and giving them the cuddles, playtime, and treats they deserve. I am an active equestrian, big dogs and horses do not frighten me. When I am not taking care of your Fur Friends, you can find me reading, practicing archery, riding, and figuring out ways to provide additional and great services to our clients!

I have shared my home with cats, dogs, fish, and birds throughout my life. I recently welcomed “Moo,” a beautiful, but shy, tabby cat after my 20-year-old kitty, Tank, crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Having attentive, loving care for my pet when I am away is very important to me and delivering the same is my promise to you as I care for yours. I live in Windermere, and I am a National Parks Service Volunteer, serving at Canaveral National Seashore on the Wilson’s Plover shorebird monitoring team, and an avid birder and gardener.

Hi, I’m Natalie! As a dedicated pet sitter and dog walker with The Savvy Sitter, I love building relationships with the pets I care for and always strive to provide the best service possible. I share my home with my two cats, Athena and Sherlock, and my beloved dog, Josie. Being a proud mom of two, I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your furry family members. I enjoy dog walks not just for the companionship, but also as a great way to get extra exercise and strength training. I’m always eager to learn and grow in this field so I can continue giving pets the love and attention they deserve.
