Pet care experience

Personalized pet care experience

As a pet parent for over 60 years, I have always been in touch with my love for and connection with animals. For the past 12 years, I provided care to dogs, cats, birds and rabbits. Through this time, I learned about caring for animals in different stages of life all with different personalities and needs. My certifications in dog training from the Animal Behavior College has given me the knowledge and skills to further understand how to provide the best personalized care to each pet. When not caring for the pets of clients, I volunteer at a shelter as an advocate for the five freedoms for all animals.

Safety, trust & environment

The primary service I offer is providing care in clients’ homes. Whenever intaking new clients and pets, my first step is to schedule a complimentary meet and greet. During this meet and greet, I have a series of questions that I ask to ensure my understanding of exactly what is needed to care for each pet exactly as they need it. Safety and comfort of the pet is my top priority and pride myself on providing that peace of mind to clients.

Rona is great, we came home to a very happy dog. I would recommend Rona to future clients and would be happy to have her stay in our home again.

Rona did a wonderful job pet sitting for our 4 pets while we were out of town! She sent regular updates, gave our babies special treats (asking prior, in case there were any special diets), and took great care of them (and our home!)!! Do not hesitate to contact Rona for your fur baby needs - I am recommending her to all my friends and neighbors!

Rona is incredible! She is truly an animal whisperer and will put your dog or cat needs above everything else, including her own. I trust her completely and look to her for advice to get to know my own dog better!

Rona is warm, incredibly intuitive, loving, conscientious and responsible. From the moment both my dog and I met her we immediately felt so comfortable with Rona. She brought out such playfulness in our shy girl who is usually quite timid around new people. I had Rona stay at our house and was incredibly responsible keeping me updated, clearly taking such kind and attentive care of out girl and she kept the house immaculate. I felt so safe having Rona who just radiates responsibility. I would recommend her anytime and will be using her again and again! She has a gift with dogs and people!

Rona was great with my dogs! She treated them like family. She gave them their meds and cleaned up any messes they made. Rona is a great sitter!

I have known Rona S for many years. She housesat for my Airedale Terrier and my Siberian Husky from young pups to their senior years. As they aged, both required special care for medical issues. When we found out that my beloved Airedale had developed what turned out to be a very aggressive form of cancer and my husky developed advanced liver disease at the same time, it was Rona who came to visit just to check up on them. She is responsible, compassionate, devoted and loves what she does. In addition to caring for my dogs, my house was always in order upon my return with plants watered, mail taken in, etc. I am soo sorry that she moved away and miss her. You will be very lucky to have Rona care for your pets.
