DogVacay Superhost & Mentor

Pet care experience

LET US WATCH YOUR DOG IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME! ALLOW YOUR DOG TO STAY IN A FAMILIAR PLACE...YOUR APARTMENT! My name is Adam and my wife, Kaitlyn, and I have been dog sitting in NYC since 2012. We used to have a Black Lab, Sadie, who unfortunately passed away May 2019 at the age of 14 and a half. I got Sadie in college and she was by my side the entire time. We understand that a dog is like a child and we always keep that in mind when looking after someone else's dog. I grew up walking dogs and have been training all breeds of dog since I was a kid. In fact, when I was between jobs, I worked as an NYC dog walker so pack walks are no problem. We're also Rover Community Mentors which means that Rover entrusts us to conduct home checks and train new hosts for Rover. I can watch your dog at your apartment so that they can keep up with their normal routine and stay in a familiar place. This reduces separation anxiety and keeps your dog happy! I work from home full time so I can keep your dogs normal routine while you’re away. Our goal as a sitter is to give a dog the same experience it gets at home so we keep the dog's routine, from potty breaks to the methods you use to reward or correct behavior. One of us would be happy to either stay at your apartment while you're gone or can pop in and out for walks and generally hanging out with your dog. During the stay, we'll send daily photos and/or video updates so you can see how much fun your dog is having while you’re away!! We would be happy to provide daily updates for you and am happy to accommodate special requests. We love all dogs and look forward to dog-sitting for you! Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

Adam was so helpful and went far and beyond in keeping my five month old puppy happy while I was out. It was our first puppy sit experience and, needless to say, it was wonderful! He understood the needs of my puppy, bonded quickly with her, followed instructions, and had playful as well as relaxing time with her. He is very communicative and sends across multiple videos and pics throughout the siting so that you can carry on with your plans tension free. I would gladly leave my pup with him in future! ☺️

Adam was great. Solid communication through any concerns and flexibility with our schedule. We appreciate the care he took with Blue. Can’t wait to book again.

Adam was great with our Labrador Retriever. He gave him plenty of exercise, taking him for long walks and playing fetch outside! We could tell from the pictures Remi was totally at ease with Adam. Will definitely book him again!

Watched mojo back when I was visiting and mojo was happy. I closed the app and forgot to put the review! But here it is years later!

Safety, trust & environment

SAFETY & TRUST: I care for your dog at your home. This way I’m able to treat your dog the same way you do while also keeping up their normal routine. I understand that allowing someone to stay at your home while watching your dog requires a level of trust. I will leave your home as I found it.

Information Adam K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know their walking and feeding schedule. If they take any special medication or are prone to any medical emergencies like seizures. Do you prefer they not play in dog parks or does it not matter?

A typical day

A TYPICAL DAY: We'll take 30-45 minute walk in the morning in order to give your dog lots of exercise and to explore the many smells of your neighborhood. From there I’ll work for a few hours and can take them on a lunchtime walk if that’s part of their normal routine. After a few more hours of work I’ll take them for another walk after work and a short potty walk just before bed.
