Pet care experience
I'm happy to offer in-home dog care as well as dog sitting, walking, running, or playtime, in your home, neighborhood, or the greater Bay Area. Whether your dog needs more constant or personalized attention, more exercise than your schedule permits, or you simply want a family night out, I'm here for you! I've been fortunate to live with and share responsibility for a well-trained Australian Shepherd mix. I've also looked after dogs large and small, ranging from bichon frise and beagle, to cattle dog/border collie mix and Belgian Malinois, to Great Dane and Alaskan Malamute. See my reviews for experience on looking after dogs with specific problems as separation anxiety, aggression towards other dogs, and leash-pulling. Like most, I work from home and can do so from virtually (pun intended) anywhere for house-sitting. For house-sitting, I never accept more than one client at a time so your dog(s) will be my only priority. For those who are looking only for a drop-in or walk, please reach out and it's possible I can accommodate you. My clients find that especially for pups who need more exercise or don't do well at day care, I am a great option. If your dog requires more exercise, as an active outdoors person, I can offer a variety of activities for your dog, including: -Short potty breaks or extended walks -Trips to go trail walking/hiking -Running on or off leash. As an active runner, I run between 3-10 miles most days of the week, and have completed half and full marathons over the past five years. I have a great deal of experience running with dogs to ensure their health, wellness, and discipline needs are met. The pace and distance are all up to you--as long as your dog gets what they need, I'm happy! -Doggie play including fly ball, frisbee, and more Should your dog need to travel to the dog park, hiking, etc., my own vehicle is not suitable, but if you have a vehicle to loan, I have a license, proof of insurance and a clean driver record. Looking forward to meeting you and your pups!
Reviews
Adam is amazing! Bodie loves staying at his house and playing with his dog Lupin. He gets lots of exercise and lots of love. I can go out of town and leave Bodie with Adam with complete confidence.
Adam was wonderful. He's a big hiker and took Bodie on terrific walks. Communicated regularly with adorable photos. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.
Adam was a tremendous sitter for our high-energy puppy Bear! He went above and beyond in a meet-and-greet to make sure that we were comfortable and that he understood all our dog's needs. The visit had extremely strong communication and Adam make sure that Bear was always properly exercised, fed, and having a terrific experience. I would absolutely hire him again.
We had Adam drop in to feed and visit our cat while away on vacation. We received updates and photos, and felt good knowing she was taken care of while we were away. We came home to a happy cat. Thank you so much!

I love all breeds, and I go through a detailed series of questions about the dog's medical history, reactions to other people and dogs, loves/hates when it comes to activity, things to watch out for, and more.
A typical day
I enjoy going walking or running in the neighborhood, playtime in your backyard or nearby dog parks, or hiking in one of the Bay Area's many state parks!
