About Adam V.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I take care of pets, whether at my place or yours, I treat them like family. They get plenty of playtime, regular meals, and lots of attention! I also like to make sure owners are always up to date with how they’re pets are doing.
Information Adam V. would like to know about your pet
I like to understand their dietary needs, including specific feeding schedules and any allergies or dietary restrictions. Knowing their exercise routine, favorite activities, and any specific behaviors or quirks helps tailor our interactions to keep them happy and comfortable. Information about your pets medical history, including any medications or ongoing treatments, makes sure I can respond appropriately to any health needs that may arise. Additionally, knowing their usual sleeping habits and preferred toys or comforts helps create a familiar and reassuring environment while in my care.
A typical day
When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them engaged and happy. This includes outdoor walks in parks or trails, playing games like fetch or tug-of-war, and arranging playdates with other friendly dogs if permitted. I also incorporate training sessions to stimulate their minds and teach new skills. And of course, there's plenty of quality time. My aim is to ensure pets have a fun and fulfilling experience while in my care.

I’ve been surrounded by animals for all my life. I can handle any pet, regardless of size or age. I love all animals and am very flexible when it comes to providing the care necessary to keep your pets happy!
Reviews
My dog felt very comfortable around Adam, who was really accommodating in coming on short-notice and doing a quick play session to introduce himself to Champ. Adam was also very understanding about giving me updates on my dog throughout his visit. This was the first time my dog was left with someone else in months, and am glad it was with someone I felt I could trust!
Adam is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! He takes such great care of my cat and dog, staying with them almost every hour of the day. He takes my dog on multiple walks per day (I know this because of my doorbell video cam), and cleans out the litter box, even when he is only there for two days. Adam sends me pictures of the pets, so I know they are happy. He also stripped the sheets without me asking, and the house is always spotless when I get home. It’s clear how much my pets loves Adam… they follows him everywhere and get so excited when he comes to the house. I wish Adam was able to watch my pets every time I went out of town!
Adam was so helpful walking our dog last minute when we were delayed getting home. He even cleaned up a mess our dog made in the house.
In simple terms, Adam gets dogs. Adam has been walking my 85-pound standard poodle, Henry, for a while now. During our first chat, he mentioned his background with big dogs, making him comfortable and confident around them. What's great about Adam is that he took note of Henry's tendencies - like getting anxious at street crossings, tugging on the leash at the sight of squirrels, or feeling excited around other dogs. This attention to detail means that when walking Henry, Adam knows just what to do to keep him safe. Additionally, Adam's familiarity with the area allows him to choose the best walking spots based on traffic flow and surroundings, ensuring a pleasant stroll for Henry. I have complete peace of mind knowing that Henry is in good hands with Adam.
