About Savanna

Hi there! My name is Savanna and I am a Qualified Veterinary Nurse.

I work at SASH (small animal specialist hospital) in Sydney.

At SASH I am a Surgery/Theatre nurse. I mainly work in pre and post op care providing five star care to lots of furry friends who have or are undergoing surgery, these animals can either be critical or in completely good health otherwise and our surgery department includes ophthalmology which I also nurse a lot of eye cases. I also help with exotic patients and have spent a lot of time with the department and have learnt how to nurse, handle and care for many exotic creatures.

I have been around a lot of rescue dogs in my workplace so it has given me experience with many different temperaments when handling different dogs.

Working in a specialist hospital I have had experience around oncology patients, neurology, ophthalmology patients, oncology radiation patients, rehab therapy, emergency and critical care, all surgery and exotic care.

I have grown up with so many different animals, from rabbits, ducks, hermit crabs to horses, fish, birds and of course cats and dogs.

Animals I have THE MOST experience with are, horses, dogs, cats, birds, rabbits/guinea pigs and chickens. I have done some handling with other exotic animals as well at my workplace including reptiles.

I am a dedicated perfectionist in making sure all animals I take care of are comfortable, calm and given nothing but love and affection. I believe an animal picks up on energy and chooses who they like which is why being around animals my whole life has helped me tremendously with my patients and other pets.

I offer most pet sitting services, although pet sitting at your own home needs to be requested upon accepting.

I hope to see you and your furry children very soon :)

Savanna kindly looked after our pup at short notice. From the first meeting it was obvious that she loves animals. Our puppy had a great time at her house. He was well cared for, Savanna kept us updated with pictures and news, and he loved playing with Savanna’s pets. It was very easy communicating with Savanna. We would definitely recommend and use her in the future.

Poppy had a wonderful overnight stay with Savanna and was very well cared for. Savanna sent us an update and photos so we knew she was happy and having lots of fun playing with her fur friend. Thanks Savanna! ☺️
