Pet care experience
Loves dogs and worked at the zoo
Long story short, I love dogs. I've always had dogs, right after college ended I got a pooch of my own. Animals are my passion, and I spent 6 years working at the zoo. During my time there the head keeper in my department took notice of the extra time and effort I was putting into working with the animals and made arrangements to add me to our animal care teams, which allowed me free access to come in and work with animals in my off hours. I'm tidy and will clean up any messes they make. I have a flexible schedule and am willing to come extra if necessary. I'm available on short notice if necessary. I grew up with big dogs so no size dog will turn me away!

Ratings and reviews
Adam was great with my very excitable pup! Looking forward to having him walk Kona again!
Adam has been a great sitter for my pup Leo! Leo is only 10 weeks old and still learning so Adam is patient and helpful. He sends picture and video updates of them playing and does everything we need him too. Definitely recommend ?
Highly recommend him! He cares for my 10 week old puppy like it’s his own, has flexible hours which is a big plus, and I’m glad I can rely on him to drop in on my puppers!
Adam was a great choice for my dog who is hyper and love attention. He sent me pictures and videos of my dog. He is awesome and would recommend him!

Schedule
I have one dog at home in my new apartment! He receives two meals, at least one walk/play session, and 3-5 bathroom breaks a day! During my free time I volunteer at the zoo!

Safety, trust & environment
I have experience with a wide variety of dogs and other animals. I am able to adapt the type of care I give to each dog. For example, for a while, I was sitting an 80 pound lab named Azlan, who had hyperactivity issues. I understood that we needed to pack as much work as possible into our time to get the most value for my client. At the same time I was sitting a 10 pound puppy Leo. With Leo I worked on reinforcing the training they were working on with him, focused on taking him out right away when I got there and right before I left, and when we had extra time, I would just play with him to get some energy out. When at my home, your dog will receive top-notch care from me, assisted by my girlfriend, who is a fellow pet lover! You will get daily updates with pictures and videos, and I’m willing to be flexible to meet the needs of you and your pet!

A typical day
At your request I can work on basic obedience training and house training with your dog. Other than that, I love playing fetch and tug of war with dogs. Really any toys they seem to want to play with I'll play with them.
