Going out of town doesn't mean your dog's training has to stop.

With Nova K9 Academy's Train While You're Away program, your dog receives personalized training while remaining comfortable in their own home. Rather than sending your dog to a facility, I stay in your home and work with your dog in the environment where they live, learn, and practice every day.

This program combines the convenience of pet sitting with the benefits of structured training, allowing your dog to make meaningful progress while you're away.

Whether your goal is better leash manners, improved obedience, increased confidence, or a stronger foundation around distractions, your dog will receive daily training tailored to their individual needs.

Ideal for

  • Leash pulling and loose-leash walking
  • Basic obedience and manners
  • Jumping, barking, and household behaviors
  • Confidence building and public exposure
  • Reactivity foundations
  • Place training and impulse control
  • Off-leash foundations and recall work

What to expect

  • Overnight care in your home
  • Daily structured training sessions
  • Reinforcement of routines and household rules
  • Progress updates and photos throughout the stay
  • A personalized report summarizing your dog's progress

Unlike traditional board-and-train programs, your dog stays in a familiar environment, reducing stress and allowing training to be applied directly to real-life situations they encounter every day.

After your return, discounted follow-up sessions are available to help maintain progress and ensure you feel confident continuing the training at home.

At Nova K9 Academy, the goal isn't just better obedience. It's building a calmer, more confident dog and a stronger relationship between you and your companion.

Professional
In-Home Pet Sitting

Leaving town doesn't have to be stressful. We treat every pet like family, providing loving in-home care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so you can relax knowing they're safe, happy, and well cared for.

At Nova K9 Academy, we know that leaving your pet, and your home, in someone else's care is a big decision. That's why our pet sitting service is built on trust, communication, and personalized care.

Unlike boarding facilities, your pets get to stay where they're happiest: at home. We follow their normal routine as closely as possible, helping reduce stress while providing the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve.

Personalized care for every pet

No two pets are the same. Before your first booking, we'll get to know your pet's routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions so we can provide care that's tailored specifically to them.

Whether your pet loves long walks, endless games of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply sticking to a familiar routine, we'll make sure they receive the care they're used to while you're away.

Founder, Owner & Trainer

Hi! I'm Skylar, the founder of Nova K9 Academy. My passion has always been helping animals and the people who love them. With years of hands-on experience working with dogs through training and veterinary medicine, I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets. I started Nova K9 Academy with one goal in mind: to provide compassionate, dependable care that gives pet owners complete peace of mind. Whether I'm training your dog or caring for them while you're away, I treat every pet like they're my own.

When you choose Nova K9 Academy, you're choosing a team that values professionalism, communication, and personalized care. I personally oversee every pet sitting booking and carefully select each team member to ensure they meet the same high standards of care that I would expect for my own pets.

Pet Care Team

I've always loved animals and have been blessed to bring that passion into my professional life. I've worked at a veterinary clinic for upwards of 5 years, and have had the privilege of meeting so many furry friends! Working at a clinic has equipped me with skills to take care of animals from every walk of life. Whether you have cats, dogs, small critters, or reptiles, or pets needing extra medical attention (diabetic, disabled, elderly, and more), I can help.
