3. Altavier Y.
“I highly recommend Altavier or the position of dog walker . Over the past 28 years I had the pleasure of knowing Altavier both personally and professionally, and I am confident in his ability to provide exceptional care and companionship to dogs. Altavier has always demonstrated a genuine love for animals and possesses a natural talent for handling and caring for them. His patience, attentiveness, and responsible nature make him an ideal candidate for this role. He have previously cared for my own dog( on multiple occasions, and I have always been impressed by hid reliability and the affection hr show towards animals. In addition to his personal qualities, Altavier is extremely professional and dependable. He consistently arrive on time, follow any special instructions meticulously, and always prioritize the well-being of the dogs under his care. His ability to manage multiple dogs at once and ensure each one receives individual attention is particularly noteworthy. Altavier is also very knowledgeable about dog behavior, health, and safety. He is adept at recognizing any signs of distress or discomfort in dogs and is proactive in addressing any issues that may arise. I have no doubt that Altavier would be an asset to your team. Their passion for animals, combined with hid strong work ethic and professional demeanor, make him the perfect candidate for a dog walking position. I wholeheartedly recommend him and am confident hr will exceed your expectations.”

“She is great, loves all pets. Very friendly and responsive. Would work with her again. She happily took great care of our sweet little man.”
5. Jada N.
“People can be difficult, but animals always have easy to understand for Jada. Being surrounded by them when she’s home, with friends, or with family, certainly boosted her love for them, if even at all possible, and having pets of her own just enforces a mother’s instinct. I know this because it’s been witnessed this countless of times. I have one Dog, one Cat, and depressingly have very few people I’d trust to take actual good care of them if I ever needed them too with her being one of the exceptions. Little things like cleaning up living spaces or bringing gifts and treats the furry family members are so unnecessary, but reveals compassion people forget they have.”
6. Marena E.
“I love having Marena watch over my fur babies! She always gives updates throughout the day. When my family goes out of town, we always request to have her because we know that they will be in great hands. A bonus is that she is always more than willing to go out of her way to make sure that our babies are comfortable in every way possible.”
7. Barb C.
“Barb was fantastic! Hera absolutely adored her and they went on all sorts of adventures for the day that Barb watched her. Hera was tuckered out which was a godsend for us, lol. I can't recommend Barb enough!”

About: I have always had a passion for pet care and senior care. I am 20 years old and a Texarkana Resident. I have helped my mom in the Pet Care for almost 5 years now at her Dog Grooming business. Now that I have moved 2 years ago, I now just pet sit for some family friends. My pet care is an open schedule. I am a server and am willing to pet/home sit anytime around my serving. I can work around my serving schedule. During the week I will only be serving nights so I am freely open during the day to pet sit or take them for walks. I watch them as if they are children. I make sure they are fed, watered, and just having the fun they need. They are safe and taken care of when in my presence.
