Pet care experience

Unmatched love & care for your pet!

I’m a vegan who absolutely adores caring for all animals! I moved to Merritt Island in February 2022, then to Cape Canaveral. Before that, I built a strong pet-sitting client base in Southern California and Indiana. For over 12 years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish (my specialties are betta and goldfish!), as well as chickens, guinea pigs, rats, and turtles. I offer a flexible schedule with 1-3 visits daily or nightly to ensure your pets stay happy and healthy. I prioritize your pets' needs and truly care about their well-being – I'm not just here for a paycheck!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I always pay attention to their needs. If they need to go out, I won't make them wait, and if they need attention, there will always be a hand ready for pets! Feel free to message me anytime – I respond quickly, and I’ll take plenty of pictures while you're away! I look forward to meeting you and your fluffy family member!

Nova was great, she communicated when she arrived at our house, how our pets were doing, and when she left. I was a little worried since my dogs have never had anyone come into the house that they didn’t know VERY well while we were gone, but she read their cues and was able to give each individual animal what they needed while she was here. It helped our family feel more comfortable being gone longer than usual. I would highly recommend Nova to others looking for some help with their pets.

Nova was fantastic! She dropped in daily to check on my cat and took care of all the usual needs: food, water, litter box, and of course, playtime! She kept me in the loop with consistent communications and photos, so I was able to relax and enjoy my time away knowing that Stripes was in good hands. I highly recommend Nova for your pet sitting needs, and look forward to booking her again for mine! :-)

The boys always love spending time with Nova. Communication is always good and she definitely sends plenty of photos and is super accommodating. Will rebook her in the future!

Nova took great care of our cat. She sent good updates each day with photos, followed all instructions we left, and kept the place clean - and most importantly, made sure our little guy was happy and healthy! Will definitely book her again.

I would like to know the size, breed, age, temperament, and whether they have ever had any potty issues in the house. I prefer older, calmer dogs and cats, but I am open to different personalities. Please let me know how often they need to go potty, if they have any special dietary needs or medications that need to be administered, and what time you would like me to arrive at your house.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
