Hi, I’m Nova!
I have a lot of experience with fearful, nervous and reactive dogs and some experience with fearful and feral cats, so if you’ve been struggling to find the right pet carer, I might be the perfect fit for you.
I’ve been working professionally with animals in various roles since 2007 and have a qualification in animal management.
Before starting my own pet care business in 2022, I worked at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home for nearly 6 years, where I helped assess dogs’ behaviour, carried out behaviour modification techniques and prepared them for rehoming. During my time at Battersea I discovered my skill at making friends with dogs that are scared of or reactive to strangers, and I was often called upon to help bring shut down dogs out of their shells.
I have also worked in boarding facilities and veterinary practices, and have some basic nursing skills.
I’m a firm believer in treating every animal as an individual and I am skilled at identifying the needs of the animals in my care. You won’t see me walking an entire pack of dogs from different households together, because I want to give each animal the attention and care they need and deserve. What you will see me doing is meeting your pets where they are and tailoring my approach with patience and kindness. The ultimate goal for me is to make sure your pets have a great time. I’m not happy until they’re happy!
I am fully insured, DBS checked and CPR & first aid certified.
