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 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!
Novia informed me that she was available to cat-sit for another day as our flight would arrive late and we were more than happy to have our cats’ needs be addressed. Novia was also communicative throughout our interaction on the app. Our cats and everything in our place were well cared for.
It was a last minute booking and Novia was a godsend. When she came to meet our cats, one of them, Bobbie was already demanding for her attention. She took down notes as well. During her visits, she was attentive to the needs of the cats. She informed me when they were not touching their water so she had the initiative to put water in their wet food. Novia also updated us daily with dosages of pictures and videos. From the daily updates, we saw that our cats were super comfortable with her, which was important for us. We came home to our happy, healthy and well-fed cats. Definitely will book a visit with Novia again for our cats next time we’ll go away.

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.
