Absolutely dog crazy! Love them all
Pet care experience
I treat every dog as if they were my own pet. I give them all the love and attention they desire and will train them consistent with each owners guidelines. Every pup is different and I enjoy getting to know their personalities. I have worked with small dogs like whippets to medium sized golden's to full size German Shepherds and Great Danes. I am a proud owner of a 10 month old Golden Retriever and would be more than happy to have her and myself make some new puppy friends. I have a fairly flexible schedule as I am just graduating with my Masters Degree in music and trying to supplement my income in any way possible. Seeing how I love dogs so much I believe this is a fun and exciting way for me to make some extra money until I find a full time job in my field of work.
Reviews
He's a dog whisperer, I swear! Honestly, Adam is great with our 9 month old puppy. Not only does he ask how we are training our dog, if there's any special commands we use and what tricks we'd like for him to work on, but he is so accommodating to our crazed schedule. He's friendly, great with our puppy and entirely trustworthy. He's our first choice when it comes to dog walking. Thank you Adam for all you do!
My husband and I rescued a Whippet mix and a German Shepherd/Lab mix (both puppies) over this past year. Both puppies have lots of energy and crave constant attention from us which made it hard for us to get them to settle down. We were also having issues getting them to not jump up on house guests as well as getting them to sit and stay for longer than 5 seconds; so we had Adam come over to our house to help us communicate better with our dogs. His calm demeanor immediately had both dogs relaxed and listening to his commands. He showed us some ways to help us train both dogs (and ourselves) in the areas which needed some improvement and it has helped us tremendously since then. You can tell that Adam genuinely cares about animals and is very passionate about them. He is very knowledgeable about the personalities of dogs and helped us to understand why our dogs were behaving in certain ways and what they needed from us. I highly recommend Adam to anyone who is looking for someone to care for their furbaby while they are at work or away.

Information Adam R. would like to know about your pet
I would prefer to meet each dog with every owner before I do my first visit. I believe that every dog needs to understand that I am not an intruder to their home so that when I do show up, they are happy and excited to see me and know that they can trust me being in their space. I have no breed preferences. I love all dogs.
A typical day
I always try to give each dog a new experience with each walk. I am always very careful about where each dog walks and make sure they stay clear from any road with potential traffic. As the weather gets warmer I also understand the importance of how hot the roads can be for dogs so keeping them in the grass for as long as possible is also a priority of mine. If dogs have any favorite toys or games they like to play I always incorporate those into each visit.
