Nova’s Fetch & Stay: Loving Sitter!
Welcome to our loving dog boarding and daycare home, where your furry friend will be treated like family! My husband and I share a deep passion for dogs, and we have two dogs of our own, Harley and Nova, who love making new friends. What sets us apart from other sitters is my years of experience caring for dogs, starting at just 16 years old. I’ve taken care of dogs for friends, neighbors, and even my high school teachers, and to this day, I still drop in on my teacher’s dogs when I’m available. Both my husband and I love dogs deeply, showering them with love and attention. We have a spacious, fenced-in yard and a separate room for dogs who need a quiet space to decompress or just hang out—perfect for pups who prefer solitude and a safe environment outside of a crate. We welcome potty-trained dogs, but if your pup is still in training (especially puppies), we just ask for a truthful heads-up so we can accommodate their needs. We do not require crating unless requested by the owner or if a dog is destructive. Our goal is to create a stress-free, comfortable environment for all our guests. With a fenced yard providing plenty of space for play and exercise, your dog will have a fun and engaging stay. Since this is my full-time job, dogs are never left alone for more than four hours, unless otherwise instructed. Both my husband and I are Rover background-checked and approved, ensuring your pup is in safe and trusted hands. In addition to boarding, we offer daycare and drop-in visits, giving you flexible options to fit your schedule. Rest assured, your dog will receive plenty of attention, care, and cuddles while you’re away, making their time with us a tail-wagging delight!

Safety, trust & environment
At Nova’s Fetch and Stay Retreat, I treat every pet like family, offering care that’s as personalized as their needs. For boarding at my home, I provide a safe and loving space with a fenced-in yard for playtime and exercise. Your dog will never be left alone for more than 4 hours unless otherwise arranged, and they’ll get lots of attention, cuddles, and companionship. I also have a quiet room for dogs who need a little time to themselves to relax or recharge. For daycare, I make sure each dog gets the attention they need—whether it’s time to play, explore, or chill out in a calm space. The yard is always available for a fun romp, and I adjust the pace depending on your dog’s energy. For drop-in visits at your home, I’ll take great care of your pets by following your instructions—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just giving them some love and attention while you’re away. My goal is always to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable, whether they’re with me or in the comfort of your own home.
Ratings and reviews
Maria and John are outstanding and you won’t find better in this app. I’ve used them before and will continue to do so. They go above and beyond and their communication is excellent.
Maria was very attentive to MacKenzie's needs. She was wonderful to send pictures of MacKenzie during his doggy day care visit. She was very professional and responsive to my questions. I would give Maria 5 Stars for outstanding service!
Maria and John are the best! Iris loves going to their house and I know she is well cared for. Maria sends me lots of photo and video updates throughout the day and I appreciate getting to see what my pup is up to. I highly recommend them to everyone!
My Lux was very happy with Maria John and the fur babies. Thank you for taking great care of Lux :)
Maria and John asked great questions, and arranged a meet and greet beforehand. They sent lots of videos and pictures, and were very interested in Maisie having a positive experience!
Maria and John did a great job with Bones! They sent pictures every day and provided timely updates. We plan on using them again!

Schedule
This job fits seamlessly into my routine, allowing me to dedicate my full time and attention to caring for dogs—something I’m truly passionate about. I prioritize creating a caring, attentive, and safe environment where dogs staying for daycare or overnight boarding receive constant care, companionship, and plenty of love. In addition to boarding, I offer daycare and drop-in visits, which add flexibility to my schedule while maintaining the highest standards of care. If I have any scheduled drop-ins, clients staying at my home will be informed in advance, and I will never be gone for more than 1-2 hours at a time. This gives dogs a chance to rest and decompress after all the playtime and excitement. With that being said, punctuality is key to ensuring every dog gets the care and attention they deserve. If a client arrives 10 minutes late without notice, a $10 late fee will be charged. No-shows or excessively late arrivals (30+ minutes without communication) may result in cancellation with no refund. By maintaining a reliable, loving, and organized routine, I ensure that every dog in my care has a safe, enjoyable, and stress-free experience.
