About: I am a retired navy veteran, who has been pet sitting since active duty service in 2020. I graduated from John Jay college of Criminal Justice in 2019, and shortly after joined the military. Now being a retired navy veteran who works from home, I have all the time to provide the best care of dogs of all sizes. I own a 3 year old Cane corso and a 3 year old golden doodle who love to play with their furry friends, and share their backyard with. I care for dogs as it brings me joy to treat these furry pets like family, and as a side job. I have experiences with dogs of all sizes, I have administered medication, helped disabled dogs for potty breaks and have provided as many potty breaks as possible. Working from home allows me to be attentive to your furry animals, and provide frequent potty breaks or walks. I live in a house, and can happily provide the space needed to board pets overnight. I suggest pet parents to bring a bed, bowls, and food for overnight, and any other necessary items your pet may need. Working from home allows me to be at a short calls notice of care for your furry friend, so my free time is your free time from your beloved pets. Offering the best services as I would like my furry pets to be treated. My home is located in a safe neighborhood, with ample of space for your pet to feel at home. I provide daily walks, or runs. I genuinely like to spend my time outdoors, and that will be the least of your worries with your dog under my care. I will make your dog feel at home.

About: Sure, here's a paragraph you can use for your pet care experience on Rover: I have extensive experience in pet care, having owned a Husky for 8 years. In addition to my personal experience, I work part-time for a dog walking company where I provide professional and reliable care for various breeds. I also occasionally take care of cats, ensuring they are well-fed, comfortable, and receive plenty of attention. My background in both personal and professional pet care has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to handle a wide range of pet needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I always work in the mornings, which means I'm available from 3 PM onwards on weekdays. This allows me to dedicate my afternoons and evenings to taking care of pets. Additionally, I'm always off on weekends unless my boss asks me to work those days. This flexible schedule ensures that I can consistently provide attentive and reliable care for pets whenever needed. I have a husky so it will keep your dog company and I will provided toys, food, and water and walking time for your dog.
