Pet care experience

Lifelong lover of all creatures :)

Hi, I’m Nova! I have had pets quite literally since I was born. Birds, rodents, dogs, cats, even frogs, you name it! I’ve always loved all animals since I was very young and am passionate about making sure they get the care they need. I’m very used to having to deal with dogs of all temperaments. I have cared for dogs who struggle with loud noise and being alone as well as reactive dogs. I’m very empathetic and will absolutely prioritize their care!

Safety, trust & environment

When in a clients home, I respect the space as much as possible. For services such as drop ins or walks, I only do what’s absolutely necessary to care for your pets. For house sitting, I’m grateful to be able to share whatever space there is available with your pets!

House Sitting • Jul 20, 2026

Nova sat with my 13 year old pups, Kissy and Mynx for a fairly extended stay. Both girls are on medications and one is a diabetic which was not very well controlled at the time Nova watched them. Nova was able to follow the blood sugars, communicate information to me and adjust and administer the insulin as needed. When I got home these girls were happy, healthy and obviously well cared for. Nova went above and beyond. My house was spotless, plants watered and everything in order. I do not worry when Nova is in charge. This is Nova's second time sitting for me and I highly recommend her!

Nova was fantastic! I had no doubt that Olive would have a great time and would be taken well care of in my absence. They gave me an update every day and would absolutely recommend and rebook.

Nova was awesome & I highly recommend her! She took wonderful care of my two geriatric "puppies". They are both on medications and one has tracheal collapse and is diabetic as well, requiring insulin twice a day. She had no trouble with this at all. When I got home my girls were happy and healthy, the house was great and Nova is coming back in July!

Nova has been amazing with my 12-year-old toy Chihuahua. The amount of care and love she pours into my fur baby keeps me at ease when I have to travel. My little one gets anxious around others when I am not around, but not Nova! I appreciate all the pictures and updates Nova provides while I am gone, and follows the exact details of the care plan I leave. I highly recommend Nova!

Nova was exceptional in how she cared for my 2 dogs and in her communication with me when I was out of state for 3 days! She went over and above. She has pets herself and understands what pets need. I highly recommend her!

As a current college student, most of my time is dedicated to school. While this does limit the amount of time I have to dedicate to your pets, I’d love to care for them during breaks or if our schedules work out during the school year!

Please let me know if they have any medications they need to take, any allergies, are reactive, etc. I also like to know how long they can be alone, so I can manage my personal life accordingly. I’m sure you know what they need, so just be sure to let me know!
