Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Adam, a bonded, licensed, and insured pet care professional with 20 years of experience. I offer a range of services through my company CityWags, including: • Boarding - overnight in my home • Sitting - overnight in your home • Daycare (up to 8 hours, with additional fees after 8 hours) • Drop-in visits: 45-minute (option for 3-hour visits) • Walking: 45-minute and 75-minute walks (adjustable based on your needs) • Training - more information below • I'm certified in new puppy training, separation anxiety, and behavioral training through Karen Pryor. I also have CPR and first aid training. I've had the privilege of learning from renowned dog trainers across the East and West Coast, emphasizing that every furry friend has a unique personality and learning style. • During any service, I provide multiple daily photos, one-on-one personalized care, and ensure your pet is never left alone with other animals or people. Safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities for your loved one. • My schedule is dedicated to one client per booking, ensuring the best care for your pet. Routine walking, sitting, and boarding are my specialties, promoting a healthy bond between your pet and their caretaker. • Other Services Provided - Obtaining a passport for your furry loved one to travel domestic and internationally eliminating the stress and worrisome that comes with todays airline travel. This takes about 3 weeks to complete - getting documentation, administrative fees (gov agency, veterinarian), dependent on international travel a notarized document, official USDA endorsement and more. • We offer concierge pet services for regular clients, including pet transportation to local destinations and airports. We understand that unexpected situations may arise, requiring your furry loved one to travel separately. By booking with us, you ensure their safe arrival with a dedicated caretaker, outweighing the cost of rescheduling a family vacation or business trip to accommodate your furry loved one. • I live alone in a spacious, animal-free, and smoke-free loft in Flatiron, providing ample room for your pet to play and relax. • Actively involved with 2 rescue shelters in Manhattan and Brooklyn. As well as, a well regarded veterinarians office in Chelsea. • Open to accommodating your specific routines and training techniques, always prioritizing your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness. I'm equipped to handle pets of all sizes, ages, and special needs, and my loft is kept clean, well-ventilated, and at a comfortable temperature. • For more information, visit CityWags on Google, Yelp, or Instagram CityWags4CityDogs. Feel free to reach out for all your pet's needs this autumn and winter!
Reviews
Adam impressed us from minute 1 with his knowledge and understanding of how to train dogs and influence behaviour. Our puppy Scilly bonded with him faster than any stranger we had visiting before. In summary invaluable advice and a very pleasant experience. I feel 100 % comfortable leaving Scilly with Adam.
Adam was hours late to feed my cats and was completely unresponsive for 6 hours. I asked him to please let me know if my litter box was stuck because I have an automatic one that spins to empty and it gets stuck upside down sometimes. When he went to my apartment the litter box was upside down and he couldn’t wait 5 minutes for me to get back with instructions to fix it so he left with it upside down and my cats unable to go to the bathroom. I had to cut my Christmas evening short to return home because the cats need to have a litter box. I had to complain to Rover and get a refund because it was completely unacceptable and unprofessional.
Adam and I connected and had booked an all-day doggy sitting. He came to my apartment to do a meet and greet with Tucker, my 14-week-old Cavapoo, and me the evening before. Unfortunately, Adam did not show up at our agreed time after repeated attempts by me to get in contact with him (text and phone). I finally heard from Adam 50 minutes after our agreed meeting time. Tucker is only 14 weeks old and not fully vaccinated yet, which prevented me from looking for alternative solutions. None of the doggy daycare establishments in my area would accept Tucker (for good reason.) This caused me to miss an important all-day work event. Very disappointing.
Adam is hands down the best. I had been searching for months on end to find a reliable sitter and daycare professional to also help continue training with Spot's moderate-severe separation anxiety. Adam went far beyond what I expected in his clear knowledge and methods on helping with Spot's SA and other quirks, He is professional, warm and trustworthy. Consistently provided amazing photos everyday making entire vacation stress free. Provided excellent input aftwards that has worked wonderfully on helping deal with Spot's unique personality. He is extremely patient and has an amazing ability to communicate with Spot. Words can't begin to explain how thankful we are to have found him.
