Pet care experience

Experienced Animal Lover/Care Taker

I grew up on a farm where our animals were treated with love and kindness. They were all pets (including our 2 pigs rescued from a slaughter house)! I have experience taking care of many types of animals but have a special fondness towards dogs and cats of all breeds. I have yet to find an animal that I didn’t love! Patience and love are key to taking care of any animal. I promise to show the same care and love to your pet as I do my own. I also bring a wealth of experience in taking care of animals (including those which require special care for medication or anxiety). I am happy to replicate your routines while you are away to help your pet feel more comfortable and loved.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have 2 male chow chows so prefer to care for your pet in your home. I will review your pet requirements/routines with you prior to caring for your pet. Most animals are accustomed to their routines and I am happy to mimic those in your absence. My goal is for your pet to be happy, loved and well cared for while you are away.

We recently had the pleasure of having Ramona watch our dogs for several days while we were out of town on vacation, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that Ramona had a genuine love for animals and a professional approach to pet care. Our dogs were well cared for, happy, and content when we returned. We were especially impressed with the regular updates and photos that Ramona provided, giving us peace of mind while we were away. Ramona kept us informed of her schedule so we knew what to expect and always ensured that our dogs were fed, played with and provided with bathroom breaks as we expected. We highly recommend Ramona to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate dog sitter. Thank you, Ramona, for your outstanding service! We look forward to working with you in the future!

Ramona was fabulous with my 10 week old puppy. I appreciated the updates thru out the day, and knew my pup was well taken care of. Thank you

Ramona was AMAZING! Our 10.5 year old Boxer, Roxy, has bad back legs and needs a lot of supervision and love, Ramona provided that and more. She sent great updates and I knew Roxy was being spoiled and receiving great care. The best part was when arriving home Roxy seemed more comfortable and relaxed than she normally is when we come back from traveling. Our house was clean and well taken care of too. I highly recommend Ramona!

Ramona recently watched my cats while we travelled for two weeks. I warned her beforehand that she was unlikely to actually see them. I had recently had a bad experience with a cat sitter so I was rather nervous about leaving them, but Ramona immediately showed me that she was trustworthy with my animals. She was great during our trip. Yes, only saw one cat briefly, but assured me about evidence that they were doing great. She communicated well and really gave me peace of mind about their care. I highly recommend hiring her to care for your animals.

We LOVED Ramona and her care to attention and details for our dogs. I am very particular about who will stay with our dogs and from our first phone call I knew Ramona was going to be a great sitter for us. We have never left all the dogs at home with a sitter before so I was nervous how they all would do - Romona was great about updating us throughout her stay and was very good about following our routines and schedules.

If I could give 10 stars, I would! Ramona stayed in our home with our two boxers and our daughter’s pittie while we were out of the country for our daughter’s wedding. From our first meeting with Ramona we knew she was the perfect person to care for our three boys. She took great care of the dogs and house. We loved the daily pics and updates she sent! She is truly awesome!
