About Ramona I.
Communication
Skills
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.

Reviews
Ramona took care of my cat Nijan, and I couldn’t be more grateful with her service. She was very caring and loving, and sent me pictures and updates of my cat constantly, which allowed me to enjoy my time away from my cat, because I felt she was in very good hands. I will 100% recommend Ramona, and I will absolutely have her taking care of my cat again.
Ramona looked after our dog, Penny, on very short notice while we were away, and we couldn’t have been happier. She responded quickly, came over the very same day to meet Penny, and immediately put us at ease with how kind and caring she was. Throughout our trip, she sent lots of photos and updates, made sure Penny was well cared for and fed, and gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was in great hands. We’ll definitely be booking Ramona again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!
Ramona was excellent with our very nervous boy. Kevin is very wary of new people, and we've only had him for a few months. Ramona was patient and eventually won him over. She maintained constant communication and gave us photo and written updates. We were able to enjoy our time away and be confident that Kevin was receiving the best care.
Ramona did a great job looking after our pets. They were happy and calm when we returned. We received lots of updates on how they were going at home. I really appreciated the communication so that I could relax knowing my babies were well looked after. Thank you Ramona, you cared for our pups & cat like they were your own. Thank you!
