Dog lover? Dog BROTHER!!
Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Adam! I have lived with animals my whole life - I've had cats, dogs, rats, snakes, spiders, scorpions, reptiles - you name it! At one point I lived with 6 dogs, though currently my wife and I only have 2 fur babies; one 14 year old black lab / golden retriever mix, and one little rescue chihuahua / mini pin mix of some kind :) I am an artist and craftsman by trade, so I have free time to give back to our animal friends. My dream is to buy property to build a dog shelter for "end-of-stay" dogs at high-kill shelters. I have always been able to "read" an animal, and can get on their level to ensure they feel respected, understood, and their needs met. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes, from 15lbs to 85lbs. I experience dog-sitting nice cats, mean cats, and scaredy cats; friendly labs, wild pits, shy shepherds and overconfident bulldogs! On our walks I am attentive to dogs needs and instincts, and extremely aware of my surroundings. As a pet owner myself, and someone who has used Rover to walk my babies, I know how important it is that you have peace of mind while you are out at work, or on vacation. As your pet is part of your family, trust is key! Please let me know if you have any questions at all, I can't wait to meet your fur baby!

Skills
Information Adam G. would like to know about your pet
I am really firm on getting a proper introduction to your animal before we work together. Your animal is YOUR companion, and needs to know that I have been accepted into the pack and do not pose a threat. Dogs can be very sweet and loving to you, but may be unexpectedly weary of strangers. That's ok! We just need to get to know each other :) Some important information for me to know are things like: Does the dog has any history of aggression towards people or other animals? Does the animal have any allergies or health concerns? Is there a limit to the distance we should walk? (My dog isn't supposed to walk far due to her age and joint problems, so we just go out for short walks a few times a day!) Does your dog have specific verbal commands? Are there any habits you are trying to enforce or break that I should know about?
A typical day
I love to hike the local trails - at Lone Mountain or near Red Rocks - but my old girl Melodee can no longer take the high mileage like she used to so we mostly stick to the neighborhood and the local park. Depending on your pet's needs - we can walk the neighborhood, go to a local park - or even hit the trails if we have enough time! I love playing fetch with your dog - our recently passed fur baby LIVED for the ball! We can take it easy, play with the ball, or go for an adventure -whatever your dog needs. With cats I like to take it easy, their energy is so great and calming - we can play with their toys, play hide and seek, or read comics so they can see the pictures :)
