As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule! This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet care. I am available throughout the summer until I return to school in early August. If there is time I have blocked off, I always communicate clearly and work closely with pet owners to make schedules work whenever mutually possible. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, attentive, and caring looking after your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and making pets feel comfortable are very important to me when caring for animals. I always try to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, waters / meals on schedule, and a good environment. I am also willing to provide regular updates and communication so you owners feel confident in your pet care. I primarily offer care in clients’ homes and through dog walking visits, as I have pets of my own at home and this helps simplify care for you and me! I find that many pets are also more comfortable staying in their familiar environment, where they can keep their normal routines and surroundings. I always respect clients’ homes, follow instructions carefully, and make pet safety my top priority during walks, visits, and overnight stays.

A typical day

I am very active and love walking, hiking, and spending time outdoors, so I enjoy taking energetic dogs on walks and keeping them active. At the same time, I understand that every pet is different, and I am just as happy to relax and provide calm companionship for older pets or animals that prefer a quieter environment.

Reliable & Caring Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Nova! I am a college student at Idaho State University home for the summer with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for ALL animals. I have roughly four years of unofficial experience caring for pets for neighbors, friends, and family, including dog walking, dog sitting, overnight care, cat care, and chicken care. I have experience caring for my own pets, including three dogs and one cat. I understand how important it is to provide pets with attention, patience, exercise, and consistent care. I enjoy spending time with animals and will meet your pet where they are. There is always time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you, their owners, are away.

Nova has been absolutely incredible with my moyen poodle, Mr. Bodhi! Her care, kindness, and genuine love for animals far exceeded my expectations. She is dependable, professional, attentive, and always timely. I felt completely at ease knowing Bodhi was in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend Nova to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate care for their pets — she truly goes above and beyond!

Nova is great! She is punctual and extremely responsible. She takes great care to follow any instructions I’ve left for her. She’s also happy to send updates and photos too.

Nova is the most responsible person I know! No matter what it is, school, work, social life, she gives it her all and goes beyond anyone’s expectations! Not only is she responsible but she is extremely selfless and caring. She always puts others first and does anything she can to make everyone around her happy.
