Ramona has been working in the pet care industry for almost 13 years. She started in the kennel and quickly rose through the ranks to become Assistant Manager.

She likes to help the pets adjust to their new surroundings and to make them feel comfortable. She has 4 dogs, a cat, 3 birds and a marine fish tank at home which keep her busy. When she finds some free time, you can find her in her herb and flower gardens.
