In her interview before taking the stage, Roni revealed that during her childhood, she and her mom would help raise stray dogs.
A few months later, they would find the pups a loveable home.
As she grew up, she loved spending time with dogs and decided that she wanted to work with animals as her job.

She said, "I was [thinking, 'What can you do with dogs?' and that was how I discovered dog therapy. How to use dogs to help people."
In 2022, she adopted her adorable and energetic pup Rhythm.
"He makes my dreams come true," Roni said.
"It's so much fun to have a partner that wants it as much as you want it."
