    Crystal

    Hello, I am Crystal and I have over 20+ years experience with cats and dogs. I have had cats all of my life and I started pet sitting and dog walking casually/ part time during the pandemic. I recently quit my job of 12 years as a flight attendant, to look after pets full time!

    I know how stressful it can be for you, and your pet, while you are either away for the day at the office, or on a vacation, so my goal is to provide a safe and happy time for your pet while you are away. Whether it is an in home check in, or a dog walk I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible and with safety always being a top priority. If I am in your home I will ensure that your pet doesn’t escape when I enter or leave. If I am taking your dog on a neighbourhood walk, we will always be on leash and will avoid off leash dog parks for safety.

    Building community and friendships is something I am passionate about and is something I am looking forward to building within our Nova’s Friends community. Be on the look out in the near future for free community friendship walks, meet ups, coffee dates etc. We can’t wait to meet you!

    Nova

    Nova is our Italian greyhound, we got her as a puppy from the breeder in Montreal and is 2.5 years old now. We have taken Nova on a few trips with us so far. She has come with us to Seattle, Palm Springs, and New York City! She does great on airplanes!! Nova is the reason we created Nova’s Friends!

    Nova is a happy, friendly and gentle girl but she is also sensitive and anxious. Nova inspired this business because she is happiest when she feels safe, and is in a calm environment with a lot of love. So, your pet will be treated just like one of Nova’s friends - Safe, cared for and loved.
