A pet ramp system allows animals to enter a sport utility (SUV) vehicle's rear cargo compartment from the ground or road surface through the vehicle's rear cargo opening. The ramp's tongue is inserted into the vehicle's previously installed hitch receiver. Classes I/II/III hitch receivers can be accommodated. Hitch-mounting minimizes horizontal, vertical and rotational movement of the ramp deck. The height of the tongue above the ground/driving surface can adjusted to maintain a comfortable incline of the ramp. Adjustments can be made to accommodate both the height of a vehicle's previously installed hitch receiver above the ground/driving surface, as well as the height of the vehicle's cargo deck above the ground/driving surface. The ramp surface uses washable, anti-skid weather-resistant material for a safe ascent to/descent from the vehicle. A safety panel prevents the animal from escaping by jumping off the ramp while they are ascending into descending from the vehicle.
