Hoping to be your pet's best friend

Pet care experience

When I was a little girl, my parents let me run a pet sitting business from our home. It was my dream job then, and it's my dream job now. I love animals of all shapes and sizes! Since I was 9 years old, family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their four-legged family members - and now I'm excited to care for your fur babes. I love getting to know each pet and caring for their individual needs. I am happy to work on training as dictated by you - or just spoil them with all the rubs and treats! With my additional training and experience volunteering at a high volume shelter, I am qualified to handle many situations. Medications, special diets, high energy, shyness: I've seen it all. I have experience with dogs from puppy-hood to seniors, happy-go-lucky to anxious pups. Also friendly cats, or the ones that hide away. I look forward to learning all about what your pet needs while in my care, so that I can help make their time away from you as fun and peaceful as possible. I also have experience with the smaller fur babies (hamsters, rabbits, etc) and the not so furry animals (birds, lizards, etc). I have had parakeets and cockatiels, and even a chameleon, and I am comfortable with snakes. So if you have an exotic baby, please feel free to reach out!

Nova was wonderful! Timely, friendly, good communication, great with my pets! Took care of them to the T. Very reliable. I will definitely contact Nova again next time I need a sitter.

Nova has been walking my shepherd/husky mix for a few months now. Zayne(dog) is beyond excited when she shows up to the house & he absolutely loves walking with her. With my husband and i's unpredictable schedules and 2 young kids, it gives us piece of mind that someone comes to care for our fur baby during the day twice a week. Nova is super professional, communication is top notch. She takes him on different routes and gives him a quality walk everytime. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker.

Nova does such a great job with cat check-ins – she’s always thorough about asking questions to understand what care my cats need, and when she visits, she treats the cats so thoughtfully and lovingly. When I come home from my trips, I can tell that Nova has looked after Ace and Mireille with the best of care.

Safety, trust & environment

My current living situation does not allow for me to have other pets at home. But I am happy to care for your pet in your home and to go for walks in your neighborhood. I find that they are usually more relaxed in familiar environments anyway, so it's a good thing!

Information Nova O. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any rules that you expect your dog to follow on walks. I think it is important to maintain similar expectations for their behavior. I also like to know if there are any things that tend to trigger aggression or anxiety for your animal, and what helps to calm them. Please note that I require a meet and greet before booking with any new clients. I won't be able to accept booking requests for the same day or next day (in most cases).

A typical day

I like to provide your dogs an cats with quality activity, to exercise their brains as well as their bodies. Fetch, tug, catch, go find it... I've got all kinds of games up my sleeve to keep them engaged!
