Love & Care for your Pets & Home

More information about this house sitter

- AVAILABLE: PERTH REGION 2nd to 19th of OCTOBER, TASMANIA from JANUARY 2025 -

Hi dear pet parents and home owners,

I am Ramona, a warm-hearted, very reliable and clean 30 year old non-smoking medical doctor from Germany who loves taking care of and spending time with animals. I quit my clinic job last summer to explore living on different parts of the globe. I have since lived in Japan and Thailand, and my current location is Perth in Australia as my partner is located here. He sometimes fully or partly joins me on sits depending on his work schedule.

During my travels I have found pet and house sitting to be the perfect opportunity to meet and be of help to locals and share my big love for animals, while getting to live in a home far away from home. In Japan I have also gained experience in running and taking care of a small airbnb hostel, where at the same time me and my sister were sitting the house and the dog.

MY EXPERIENCE:

So far I have done four wonderful pet and house sits, three during my travels in Japan last year, and one in Perth just last month, with very satisfied pet owners. Here is an overview of the dogs I have sitted and the duration of the sits:

- 4 days: 13 year old Shih Tzu lady Shizue-san
- 3,5 months: 2 year old Akita/Shepard-Mix and former street dog Lita
- 5 days: 7 months old French Bulldog Sabu-chan
- 14 days: 4,5 year old Cavoodle/Maltese/Shih Tzu-Mix Austin

Back home in Germany I have sitted my friends’ pets (cats, dogs and a rabbit) and have walked dogs from the animal shelter. When I was in high school I regularly walked my neighbours dog, a Golden Retriever, for many years. We formed a close bond over time which led to my big love for dogs. Currently, I live at a place where my landlords have chicken and goats, and I'm very much enjoying learning how to take care of them as well.

During my sits it is most important to me that the animals feel loved and cared for, and that all their needs are met. For you as a house and pet owner I aim to give you a peaceful and worry-free mind by sending you daily updates in the form of photos and texts. I am very attentive and can adapt well to the different characters of each individual animal. I love going for long walks and also waking up early, so I am very flexible to follow any daily walking routine.

From my experience working as a medical doctor I can keep calm and think clearly in emergencies, and am comfortable with administering all kinds of medication that your pets are needing.

Concerning my care for your house, facilities and plants - I am a very tidy, clean and considerate person. It is important to me to take the best care of your house as well and leave it cleaner than I received it. I will gladly follow any watering routine for your indoor and outdoor plants, and can do light work in the garden if necessary.

Furthermore, I work remotely, so I can stay home with your pet(s) as much as you wish for and they need me to be home. In my freetime you will find me searching for a nearby lake or the ocean to go for a swim, enjoying nature and exploring the neighbourhood or doing something creative.

If you have questions please feel free to contact me. I am more than happy to answer them. I can understand that it can be difficult to trust your pet and home to a stranger. If you would like we can have a (video) call to get to know each other first and also meet up in person if you are in the closer Perth area.

Please see my pictures for further references. I’d also be more than happy to send you references from my Airbnb and Couchsurfing account.

I am looking forward to all the lovely pets and owners I am going to meet through MindAHome! Your pet(s), house and plants will receive the best care from me :)
