Pet care experience

Pets New Bestie

I’ve spent the last 2 years caring for pets of all kinds—mostly dogs and cats—for friends, neighbors, and clients. I’ve helped with walks, feedings, playtime, and overnight stays. My last job focused on providing personal care support, which taught me to be patient, calm, and detail-oriented—qualities I bring to every pet I care for. I also drive and have my own car, so I’m reliable and flexible for drop-ins or last-minute bookings. 🐾

To Whom It May Concern, I am pleased to write this reference for Nathan Watkins , who has been walking my dog Yogi for the past 2 years. During this time, he has consistently demonstrated reliability, professionalism, and a genuine love for animals. Nathan quickly built a trusting relationship with Yogi, who always looks forward to their walks. He has always been punctual, communicative, and flexible—especially when my schedule changed or additional care was needed. Whether it was a routine walk, a longer hike, or checking in while I was away, I always knew my pet was in excellent hands. What sets Nathan apart is his attentiveness and care. He was quick to alert me to anything unusual, such as changes in behavior or minor injuries, and even helped reinforce training and good leash manners. I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was not only exercised but also cared for and loved like family. I highly recommend Nathan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and capable dog walker or pet care professional. Your pets will be lucky to have him. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Nieves Ortiz

Safety, trust & environment
