About: While I have only provided official pet care once, I have gained experience through owning and caring for my own pets since I was a young girl. My family has raised a variety of animals, and we've always had dogs and cats in our home. Over the years, we've owned goats, bunnies, birds, dogs, and cats. My experience comes from caring for my own pets, plus helping out with pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors. I've learned how to handle feeding, grooming, cleaning up after them, and making them feel comfortable and loved. I would love nothing more than to meet your sweet pet and give them all the love and care they deserve whenever you need a reliable, caring caretaker. Weekdays: I’m available Monday through Friday for check-ins, walks, and house-sitting care when needed. Saturdays: I’m available for occasional visits throughout the day to feed, walk, play with, and spend quality time with your pet. I will show all pets love and attention through play and physical touch. As a lover of the outdoors, it is my pleasure to take your pet outside to play and run around with them. For cats, I will show them the attention they need, whether that's gentle petting, brushing, playing with toys, or simply sitting quietly with them so they feel comfortable and secure. I will always respect your home when visiting. I will make sure food and water bowls are fresh, litter boxes are clean, and that pets have a quiet, cozy space to rest when they need it. I promise to treat every pet like my own family member, with patience, kindness, and plenty of love.
“She’s always pleasant and always smiling and she even ask about me that great when you have someone here for your dog, but they are also interested in how you feel that’s great.”

“Ronica did an amazing job caring for our dog, Leia, while we were out of town for a week. From the first meet and greet we knew she would be the perfect fit. She was professional and her communication was excellent. A bonus for us: she was less than a mile away. We look forward to being repeat customers!”

About: Not to brag or anything, but I’ve always considered myself an animal whisperer! 😝 Growing up with lots of animals, now raising two of my own, plus working part-time for a local Golden Retriever breeder, dogs are my jam! Whether your pup(s) need an energetic outdoor walk, specialized care, or just a cozy cuddle session, I’ll love and care for them like my very own! 😍🦮 My work schedule rotates weekly, leaving plenty of open times for walks and check-ins. Just message me your dates, and we can easily work out a timeline that fits! I naturally have a 'leave the world better than I found it' mindset!

About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Growing up on a farm, I was surrounded by creatures big and small—everything from conures to bison. From an early age, I learned not just how to care for animals, but how to truly respect them. That foundation deepened over the years into a lifelong appreciation for the bond we share with our animal companions. Adopting my dog Uschi was life-changing—she taught me about unconditional love, loyal companionship, and even nudged me toward a healthier lifestyle. That experience reinforced my commitment to providing pets with the same love and care I give my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I prioritize consistency, comfort, and safety. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, respect any dietary needs, and make sure they feel calm and cared for every step of the way. I can’t wait to run, play, and give your sweet baby the love they deserve! I currently work remote at my own pace, so I have full availability any time of day, morning or over night. Complete flexibility to your schedule. My overnight stays are flexible and can be tailored to your pet’s specific needs. I’m happy to take care of small home tasks like bringing in the mail or taking out the trash—just let me know what you'd like. We can also go over feeding schedules, walk routines, and note any areas that are off-limits to ensure everything runs smoothly. I understand that separation anxiety is common, and I approach each visit with patience, empathy, and a calming presence. Your pet’s comfort and emotional well-being are my top priority, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, seen, and cared for in your absence. I’m also very mindful of pet nutrition—no treats or dietary changes will be made without your clear consent. I’m available for a wide range of time frames and am happy to adapt to your pet’s rhythm and routine, providing consistency, comfort, and a little extra love while you're away.
