Pet care experience

That’s a good dog!!!

I've had a lifelong passion for animals and have been fortunate to grow up with dogs, which inspired me to continue adopting and caring for them as an adult. My experience spans a wide variety of breeds, from miniature Chihuahuas to American Akitas, giving me a strong understanding that every dog is unique in their temperament, personality, energy level, and individual needs. In addition to my personal experience, I work at an animal shelter where I have gained valuable hands-on experience handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. This role has strengthened my skills in safe dog handling, reading canine body language, providing daily care, and helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. Whether we're going for a walk, playing, or just relaxing together, I'll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. In addition to dogs, I also have experience caring for birds, guinea pigs, and reptiles, so I'm comfortable caring for a variety of pets and their needs🐾 I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet and provide them with the reliable, compassionate care they deserve while giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands.

Onyx has always cared for pets as if they were more than just a pet. “Pets” were family members, be it a fur sister, brother, or daughter, they were family members. Onyx’s love for animals is a great attribute about her!

onyx is a caring, responsible person who absolutely adores dogs. She is a firm believer in proper, responsible care for all pets. If she lived closer to me, I would still have her look after our dogs. I couldn't ask for a better person to care for your furry loved ones.

Hello! I've come to write a testimonial on behalf of Onyx h. In the time that I have known her, she has helped take care of my animals which include four dogs and a bird on and off for the past 25 years. She's always puts the needs of the animals first and foremost. Her demeanor is very calm and nurturing by nature with the animals. She is a very energetic person that seems to beam happiness and joy when around the animals and the animals seem to really pick up on it. My animals have always felt safe in onyx's care and at times seemed very sad when she leaves but also looks very very forward to the next visit. She doesn't treat them like they're animals. She treats them like they are family and that is what I look for most of all when it comes to somebody taking care of my dog. Whether it is a walk or a daycare, she treats them as family as she should
