Hi, I’m Ronnie! I have over 25 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, from tiny lap dogs to big gentle giants. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them. I work from home most of the week, which allows me to provide attentive care and companionship throughout the day. Pets in my care are rarely left alone and quickly become part of our daily routine. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Why pet parents choose me: • Work from home most days so pets receive frequent attention • Experience with puppies, senior pets, and medications • Calm, clean, pet friendly home environment • Regular photo and message updates • Flexible scheduling and reliable communication I’m also a mom to a 10 year old who loves animals and is gentle and respectful with pets. Dogs staying with us receive plenty of companionship and affection and are treated like part of the family. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, and medication routines to help them feel relaxed and at home. Whether they are staying with us or I’m caring for them in your home, you can feel confident they are in safe, loving, and experienced hands

Ronnie took such great care of our girl. She updated us with pictures. Blau looked so happy in all the pictures, especially the ones with her son. To be around a child was such a treat for her! I would recommend Ronnie without any hesitation!

Ronnie was excellent. She went the extra mile and took exceptional care of Athena. Athena was a happy girl when we arrived. The house was just as we left it. I would hire Ronnie again in a heartbeat.

Schedule

I own my own company and work from home most of the week, which allows me to be home and available for pets throughout the day. On some days, I visit clients for just a few hours, and during that time, pets in my care are left alone only for short periods (especially if booked Monday–Thursday). I’m also a mom to a 9‑year‑old boy who loves animals and is wonderful with them. Any pets who stay with us will enjoy plenty of companionship, attention, and affection. For dogs who enjoy the car, they’re welcome to come along on school or soccer pickup/dropoff rides, making sure they’re part of my day.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether they stay at my home or I care for them at yours. At my place, I keep things clean, cozy, and pet-friendly so they have plenty of space to relax and play. I always keep an eye on them, make sure fresh water is available, and follow their usual feeding, walking, and medication routines to keep them happy and stress-free. When I visit your home, I treat it with the same respect as my own. I carefully follow your instructions to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible and provide updates so you can feel confident your furry friend is well cared for. Playing, walking, or just relaxing together, your pet will feel safe, loved, and part of the family while you’re away.

A typical day

I tailor each visit to your dog’s usual routine, keeping them comfortable and happy. This often includes walks, exploring the nearby dog park (for boarding stays), playtime with toys, practicing tricks, and plenty of affection and treats. I aim to keep their day fun, structured, and stress-free—just like home!

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know about any special needs, dietary restrictions, or specific behaviors to be aware of. I also have a 9-year-old son who loves animals and often enjoys spending time with the pets I care for—please let me know if your pet isn’t comfortable around children. Let me know your pet’s typical routine, preferences, and habits. It helps me provide the best possible care and keep them feeling happy and at ease while you’re away.
