Adam was fantastic! He did everything I asked! My parakeet had a respiratory infection and he was able to administer medication at no additional cost. I will definitely be using him again and highly recommend his services to anyone.

Adam is dependable and trustworthy, and I felt completely comfortable letting him watch over our home and reptiles while we were out of the country for 9 days. He checked our mail for us, stopped by the pet store for crickets for our lizards and fed them at the required intervals, and sent me a quick video during each visit to show that everyone was happy. It was really nice to have someone watching over everything so we didn't have to worry while we were so far away. Thanks, Adam!

I am beyond exceptionally impressed with Adam of Wags & Purrs Pet Care. I called him on rather short notice last week, and when he came to my home to meet my crew -- a Great Pyrenees, two parrots, a cat and my indoor-kept Pekin duck, Adam was not fazed – not even about caring for a duck! He was very businesslike and asked all the appropriate questions an experienced pet sitter would ask. I liked the idea of hiring a vet tech, but when I met him, I also immediately felt comfortable with his easy-going and professional manner. Even though my trip was stressful, because I was 1,500 miles away for my 94-year-old mother’s surgery, I never, EVER once "worried" about how things were going at home, because Adam kept me apprised of every detail. I’m sometimes a worrier, but I was very impressed with Adam’s ability to handle anything that arose. His reliability and consistency were immediately evident, and when my two-day trip suddenly turned into three because of a massive blizzard, Adam picked up the third day without hesitation. He faithfully texted me after his twice-a-day visits, but he did much more than that. He sent me lots of pix of my pets, video clips, and always updated me on how they were doing. Adam was never, ever in a "rush" when we talked or texted, which says so much about his dedication to animal care. I am confident Adam genuinely cares about animals’ health, safety and welfare, and clearly doesn't see pet-sitting as "just a job." He is extremely responsible and detail oriented, and even stopped by a time or two just to check on things. I knew I found the right person for the job with my varied crew when Adam took it upon himself to make friends with my African Grey, 18, who NEVER goes to anyone except me! I was beyond shocked and impressed!! Greys are extremely cautious of anything and anyone "new," but mine undoubtedly sensed Adam was trustworthy, and sat on his hand every day! In the pictures Adam sent me, my Grey looked so content! I have always made sure my parrots’ cage doors are secure to avoid “escapes,” but when Adam took it upon himself to open the parrots’ doors -- and my Grey let Adam handle him, that’s when I was convinced WITHOUT a doubt that Adam is “the” sitter for my crew. He was extremely attentive to all of my "family" members, and even my standoffish cat kissed him on the nose. Adam made sure my duck had her bath to exercise her arthritic legs, and prepared her salads and watermelon in addition to her the regular diet. In fact, he did not hesitate to take care of every little detail each pet needed -- and took it upon himself to do much more. I was also very impressed with his respect for a client's home. Of course, he made sure my home was secure and never hesitated to call and text when he had a question or concern. But he also treated my home and my family like his own. My landline rings incessantly (it's only backup), and Adam called me because he was worried someone was trying to reach me! My laundry sink overflowed (my fault for not advising him!) and he was very concerned about it. Not only did he clean up, he even improvised a “new” cat litter box when my kitty’s box became wet from the sink issue. Amazing. When I came home last evening, I honestly wondered if my critter crew was a bit disappointed it wasn't Adam coming back! They were all so content, and that simply spoke volumes about Adam’s care. I hope to keep him as my permanent pet sitter for a long, long time -- and I know my “family” feels the same way. Terri M C, Nov. 26, 2015

Adam simply loves animals and it reflects in his work. My fiance and I love using Adam because he is trustworthy and professional, but also mostly because our cat took to him and responded to him almost immediately. We are very glad we found him and never have to worry when we leave town.
