Pet care experience

Former zookeeper here for you!

I have been working part to full time as a dog walker & pet sitter since 2020, working largely with a range of dog breeds that include golden retrievers, labs, pit bulls, rottweilers, dachshunds, amongst many others. As a zoologist, I have two years experience caring for big cats, bears, giraffes, rhinos, and other species as well as over eight years educating the public on various wildlife and environmental issues. Currently, as a freelance photographer, I am looking to supplement income while continuing to provide exceptional care for animals. I look forward to meeting your pet(s), entertaining them through play and walks, as well as providing them with any nutrition and medicine needs as required. I have two cats myself but that doesn't make me an exclusive a cat person. I love all animals and have helped care for two gentle pit bull roommates in the past, various farm animals on my grandparents farm, all in addition to the different exotic species born at the various wildlife facilities I worked at previously as well as for the many different pet clients through Rover.

Adam is the best of the best. We can always count on him and our pup just loves him. His background makes him uniquely qualified for this role and we’re so glad we found him here!

Adam is fantastic! He's very reliable and wonderful with my fur baby Luka. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter for their babies.

Adam has been walking Bodhi for a while now and the proof of his great work shows up every scheduled day when Bodhi goes to the window to look for Adam just before it’s time for his walk. He just knows his friend Adam is coming to see him! 😂 Adam does a great job, he truly connects with our pup and he’s very easy to work with when we have schedule changes. 5⭐️ for sure!

Thanks, Adam, you did a great job with our energetic fur baby, Buddy!!! We love how quickly Buddy took to you and was always so happy to see you when you arrived. We appreciate that you took him to all his favorite natural areas and gave him plenty of time to explore. We 100% recommend you to anyone looking for a professional, punctual, and friendly walker/sitter.
