Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs are the greatest companions
I’ve taken care of my friends’ and family’s dogs since at least 10 years ago. My experience ranges from overnight stays to dog parks, from walks to tugs. Oh - I even have back up bags for walks!
Cat care experience
Novia also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
While I can’t host pets because of my own dog, I’m happy to learn the ins and outs of what’s needed to care for your pets at your homes. I’m also extra cautious when walking dogs, making sure they are on the inside of the roads and hold them closer when near crossroads. If your dog has reactive tendency, I have experiences dealing with that as well.
Ratings and reviews
Novia is extremely professional, kind and reliable and goes above and beyond. She sent multiple videos/photos and detailed reports on her visits daily. My husband and I looked forward to her videos so we could see our cats in action. So cute!!! We knew our boys were in good hands which meant peace of mind for us. Thank you Novia:)
Super communicative, and she was also able to give medications to one of my cats! They warmed right up to her.
Novia was absolutely amazing! This was my first trip away from my kittens and she was sending me so many cute pictures and videos! I felt so comfortable knowing she was there. She will definitely be the sitter I choose whenever I go out of town again. Highly recommend !
This was my first time using Novia, and she was terrific! She took great care of my little guy and provided wonderful updates at each visit. I’ll definitely use her again!
Novia cared for our 2 cats while we were gone on an international trip. She was incredibly responsive, responsible, and clearly cared so well for our little fur babies! She sent really detailed notes about all her visits, and left my husband and I confident that our cats were in good hands.
Novia was such a sweet angel! She made drop in visits for our dog while we were away. She patiently waited for him to warm up to her and took care of his feed/water etc. She also updated us every visit with lovely pictures and videos. She is the best!

Schedule
I’m a grad student at UCI with a flexible schedule. If it’s close by, I can drop by to walk the pups in between my meetings or on days without meetings! I’m mostly on campus but can drive to places as needed.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsNovia can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- I would like to know if they have special needs, their activity energy level, whether they get along with other pets (eg, dogs at dog park), children, and other humans. I would also need to know if they follow any special diet and have any special consideration (eg, separation anxiety, tends to bark at doorbell, etc.). It would be great to know about their personalities too. For example, if they get crankier at night or if there’s resource guarding tendency.
