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!

JANAN
Hi there! My name is Janan Chu and I’m from Orlando, FL. I am a student at Florida State University where I am double majoring in Marketing and Public Health. When I am not in school, I am an avid equestrian, painter and enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I love working for The Savvy Sitter and am excited to continue to do so!
NORA
I have been a happily married mother of 3 grown children. Lifetime equestrian and animal lover. A recently retired tack shop owner in Winter Garden, I have always had animals in my life and can’t imagine a world without them. I love taking care of and spending time with all the fur babies no matter their age or size. Currently own 2 dogs, a cat, and a retired horse. I volunteer at local Equine Therapy organizations in my free time. I hope to meet some of you and your pets someday soon!
NATALIE
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.
MELISSA
Hi! My name is Melissa and I grew up in Winter Garden. I owned and showed horses most of my life. I have always loved being around animals and currently have 5 cats! I grew up always having cats and dogs and, of course, horses. I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, goats and other animals. I enjoy working around animals and can’t imagine doing anything else. I worked at Winter Garden Feed Store for 15 years, helping customers with their animal needs, including horses, dogs, cats, birds-you name it! I look forward to meeting your pets and providing a safe and happy visit!
AMANDA
Throughout my life I have owned and cared for many dogs, cats, hamsters, parakeets, and guinea pigs. Currently, my husband and I are the proud owners of BoBo, our rescue chihuahua mix. He along with my children keep my days full of adventure. I became a pet sitter because of my deep love for animals and I’m excited for the opportunity to meet and care for your fur babies as my own. I am responsible, dependable and passionate about animals and their care and truly believe they are a part of any family.
APRIL
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.
AIMEE
With 20+ years of experience providing loving care for a variety of exotic and animals, I'm your trusted pet sitter! I am certified through Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commision and the USDA for Class 1 and 2 exotic cats. I have volunteered at several zoological facilities with no contact, protected contact or full contact. I'm comfortable with dogs, cats, birds, and all size of mammals and reptiles of all ages. I'm reliable, passionate about animal well-being, and always keep pet owners updated with photos and videos. I can also administer medications, provide playtime, and make sure your pets are comfortable and happy while you're away. I started pet sitting when I was in high school, when our neighbors would go on vacation I would care for their cats, dogs and fish. I grew up around many cats, a bird and anoles. Currently, my animal family is composed of two lovely cats, a dart frog and I work with the white tiger shown in my profile image.
SHAWN
Hi, I'm Shawn! I'm a former Certified Veterinary Technician with over six years of clinical experience, including three years in an emergency clinic. I’m certified in Canine and Equine Massage Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Leash Training, and I’m currently continuing my education in animal behavior and behavioral therapy. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work with a wide variety of animals—from reptiles, snakes, turtles, and birds to wallabies, fish, and even sloths and octopuses! I’m passionate about animal care and love sharing what I’ve learned—so if you ever want to chat about animals, I’m all ears. I look forward to bringing my experience, compassion, and a whole lot of love for all creatures to your home!
CASSIDY
Hi! I’m Cassidy—dog mom, animal lover, and baking enthusiast who believes pets deserve all the love (and maybe a few extra treats). I have a background and education in management and hands-on volunteer experience from animal shelters and rescues, where I worked with all kinds of personalities and needs. I’ve spent time around everything from family pets to high-energy hunting and working dogs, so I’m comfortable adapting to different temperaments, routines, and energy levels. Whether your pet needs structure, play, patience, or extra TLC, I’m happy to meet them right where they are. When I’m not with animals, I’m usually baking something homemade or hanging out with my own pup. I treat every pet like family and can’t wait to meet yours! 🐾💛
JESS
Hi! I'm Jess. I have two cats, Frankie & Feeny, and a dog, Roody at home! Oh, and I can't forget about Jasper, he's our family cat who lives at my parents house! I'm a Floridian who loves the sun and hates the cold, just like iguanas. When I'm not hanging out with my pets (or yours) I'm snappin photos of families, gathering social media content, editing photos and videos, or hanging out at a theme park or restaurant with my husband.
