Best care for your best friend
Pet care experience
*I am a college senior in a health sciences program who experienced an injury that has derailed my graduation dates a bit. Because of this I have more time on my hands then expected and would really be a perfect house sitting candidate. I work 4-6 hour shifts occasionally throughout the week. As someone who has been around MANY animals all my life, raising dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, etc, I am well equipped to care for your doggie or cat friend! I have experience with dogs with behavior problems, health issues and physical limitations. I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet behind when you have to leave town and that is exactly why I offer to watch pets! I am incredibly responsible and careful when it comes to the care of my dogs! It is so reassuring to know that you are leaving your dog with someone who genuinely cares about their welfare and I guarantee that is what you will find when you leave your furry friend in my care! As with my dog at home, your dogs will receive walks, play time and unlimited snuggles! I love dogs and cats and hope to watch yours soon! *I have two years of experience foster dogs for a local rescue. So in addition to my experience with personal dogs, I have fostered over 100 dogs ranging from puppies a few weeks old to 13 year old seniors. I am comfortable administering medications and navigating health issues.
Reviews
Wonderful sitters!!!! Novalyn took great care of our babies while we were out! She has some of her own babies and you can tell the love she provides to them. My gurls are quiet and shy but they fit right in. I would definitely recommend her and would use her again.
Novalyn was amazing and cared for our little guy as one of her own.
Novalyn took great care of my pup! He had great adventures with her - hikes and play dates, lots of fun. She kept in good communication with me and sent adorable pics daily. I highly recommend!!
Novalyn and her 3 dogs took care of our Corgi for a week and was very flexible in accommodating last minute travel changes. We will definitley be back in the future!

Safety, trust & environment
I am a big safety enthusiast. I follow rules when it comes to pet care to a T. If you want your dog kenneled for their safety when I am out, they will always be kenneled. If you let me know the animal is an escape artist I am going to be a freak about making sure they are never given an opportunity to get out. Because of my experience volunteering with a rescue I have seen the worst case scenarios play out in real life and I am prepared to make sure nothing like that happens under my watch.

Information Novalyn A. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know what you expect of me and the routine the animal is used to. Medications or health conditions are important to know before hand. Behavior trends or issues is all stuff I am comfortable with, but having a heads up lets me know how to behave towards the animal for our first meet.
A typical day
I am an animal person and like to spend time with the animals I am watching. Getting in lots of pets (if that's what they are into), going outside together, playing with toys. Pretty much whatever the animal wants to do I am down to be their companion.

I currently work part time, and have lots of free time to spend with your furry friend. My shifts are at most 6 or so hours. I enjoy being outside and having an animal companion along for adventures if your animal is into that.
