Highlights
Pet care experience
Tails on Trails since 2015
As a dog walker, my specialty is to take pups out into nature. As I've been doing for 10+ years now, my service allows my dogs to grow and learn with each other amongst the sights and sounds of natural neighborhood trails. Offering socialization, training routines, in-depth interaction and lots of physical exercise, when I take dogs out to the trail I treat them as my own.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
For the service I offer, any pup that comes along quickly learns the rhythms of our activity. I've been described by friends as somewhat of a dog whisperer, and nothing brings me more joy than developing a mutual understanding between dogs wherein they get to have fun as long as they adhere to clearly established rules and modes of communication.
Ratings and reviews
Adam was great with Mick and so was the rest of his family. Mick had such a good time he was reluctant to leave.
Adam was an awesome sitter! He took excellent care of my dog Major, including sending an update and pictures, letting him sleep near him at night, and giving him lots of exercise. Adam let me book fairly last minute and was very flexible with the meet and greet, drop-off, and pick-up times. I felt totally comfortable leaving Major with Adam and Major seemed to have a good time (was worn out when we picked him up!)
Adam was friendly, professional and responsive to our dog Hazel's needs. We would definitely use his services again.
I've known Adam for a long time and I've never met someone so qualified to be a pet sitter. He has had genuine and unwavering passion for animals since I can remember, taking the time to tailor his activities depending on what the pet enjoys. He can spend hours on a trail walking an outdoorsy pup or an entire afternoon tending to a snoozing fido. Adam is always punctual, easily contacted, abundantly positive, and simply a joy to be around. I would highly recommend Adam for any pet sitting needs.
First of all, Adam is a wonderful young man! The first time I met him which was when I posted an ad in our neighborhood listserv for a pet sitter, I was so impressed with his kindness and manners that I wanted to call his Mom and congratulate her for raising such an amazing young man. Since then, Adam has taken care of our very old diabetic cat, which requires daily insulin shots, as well as our very finicky, picky dog and they both loved him. His kind and gentle soul, as well as his love for ALL animals makes him the best sitter you could ever hope for.
I honestly can't think of another person as well equipped to take care of dogs as Adam. I've known Adam for a long time, (13 years) and in all that time, I've seen him express the utmost care and compassion for every dog (every animal for that matter) that he's encountered. Now as an adult, Adam has pretty much mastered the practice. He is able to form connections with dogs that I have never seen in anyone else,-except maybe the dog whisperer- he is incredibly responsible, and there is no one that I'd feel more comfortable entrusting my dog with.
