Safety, trust & environment

I know trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, so I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I take the time to learn their routine, quirks, favorite toys, and preferred scratching spots (for the cats who allow it). With my veterinary clinic experience, I'm comfortable following care instructions closely and keeping an eye out for anything unusual. My goal is simple: happy pets, happy owners, and lots of photo updates along the way.

Information Ramona I. would like to know about your pet

I always appreciate knowing a pet’s personality ahead of time, especially any behaviors like biting, jumping, high energy, or strong prey drive with toys. It helps me provide safe and appropriate care.

A typical day

I usually follow the pet’s lead because they are in charge anyway. Dogs get walks, sniff adventures, and fetch until they are done, plus lots of praise for being perfect. Cats get wand toys, short play bursts, treat negotiations, and respectful distance until I am accepted. Always lots of cuddles, chin scratches, and way too many compliments about how cute they are.

We booked Ramona very last minute and she was first, very responsive and super nice - and two, was able to to fit us in with no hesitation. Our two boys (Doodles) - who have never experienced a new person walking them - were very welcoming with her - they felt very comfortable with Ramona (which says a lot). We will most definitely be reaching out to Ramona again.

Highly recommend! Ramona had great communication, was very comfortable with our anxious dog, and was flexible to accommodate us. We felt confident that our girl would be looked after really well. I will definitely reach out again!

Ramona is an absolute professional. She took exceptional care of my kitten while I was away on a business trip. She also trimmed his claws and forwarded updated images and videos. I will be using her amazing services later this month! Strongly recommend this awesome pet Lover!

Ive had Ramona care for my cats on multiple occasions when I was away for a few days. She pays attention to detail and follows instructions. Shes very easy to talk to and super down to earth. She was a great vibe and I know my pets felt it too! Would recommend ☺️
