Bubbly,Reliable! Pet sitter/walker

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Rona Mae. I grew up with dogs/cats my whole life. I have a passion for pets of all sizes and breeds. I am full of positive energy, reliable, and responsible - making sure your pets will always be safe and happy! I am excited to be able to help you by caring for your pets while you are away or walk them to enjoy their most favorite part of their day. Your babies will be cared for and loved just as if they were my own, you have my word. I absolutely love and adore my dog, Pebbles (Shih Tzu). I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pets.

I needed a sitter last minute so I reached out to Rona and I’m glad I did! She was so accommodating and followed all my instructions. Would definitely reach out again!

My husband and I have been honored to have Rona walk our pup, Gracie. She is timely, loving, and dedicated to Gracie every time she has been with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that is in need of a dog walker or sitter. She is attentive to all her needs and always communicates everything that happens during her walks. In the last 3 months that Rona has been working with us, she has earned our trust and we greatly appreciate her services.

Not only is Rona super warm, sweet, and amazing with dogs, but she CAME THROUGH for us on so many levels. We wanted to include our furbaby Teddi in our engagement shoot, but needed someone to keep her company during the shots she wasn't in. I booked Rona last minute (day-of) and explained what we needed and she was so enthusiastic about helping us out. When my fiancé and I got to the shoot location, all roads into the park were blocked by police - there was a huge brushfire and the entire park was closed. We texted Rona and since she was more local to the area than us and she suggested a few options for alternate locations - total MVP! Saved the day! Teddi immediately took to Rona upon meeting her, and throughout the shoot, she was amazing with Teddi - she kept her so chill and calm while waiting for her turn (and Teddi can definitely get antsy and barky when we're close by but not right next to her) and really helped the whole thing go smoothly - despite the hiccups. She even suggested a second location where we got amazing sunset-reflecting unobstructed skyline views. Her flexibility and willingness to go above and beyond without hesitation was majorly appreciated and made this bride-to-be much less stressed than I otherwise may have been. 10/10 would recommend!!!

Safety, trust & environment

In your home, I can crate your dog if needed. I can make sure the environment in the home is safe and clean for your pet. When going for a walk, I can navigate situations and environments well to make sure they are safe.

Information Rona M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about your dog's usual temperament, activity level, and dietary needs/restrictions, and any medical issues. For emergencies it would be good to have the location and phone number of their vet in case of emergencies. If you need me to feed your dog, let me know what his/hers feeding schedule is.

A typical day

I will take your dog on an adventure walk through the cozy streets of jersey city and if the location permits I can take them to the dog park. If possible, I can take them on walks to local parks and or even better, to liberty state park where your pet can feel the open air and enjoy the lovely day. I have my own vehicle so I can take them to the park that is outside of the local neighborhood if you would like.
