About us

Justin and Erin have dedicated their lives to working with dogs, bringing over 25 years of combined experience to the industry. This husband-and-wife team has built their careers around a shared passion for animal care and canine companionship.

Justin began his journey in the animal field as a veterinary technician, assisting with everything from surgeries to dental care. In 2000, he transitioned into the dog walking and training world. Erin entered the industry in 2006, managing a doggie daycare, where she developed expertise in group care and behavior. After meeting, their mutual love for dogs inspired them to create their own company—and in 2008, Adventures was born.

Adventures is a proudly owner-operated business, insured and bonded through Pet Sitters Associates LLC. Both Erin and Justin are certified AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluators and voting members of the International Association of Canine Professionals. As trainers, they believe in combining structure, exercise, and compassion as the foundation of every successful relationship with a dog. Their approach is always tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual dog and their family.

When it comes to dog walking excursions, Adventures goes beyond the basics. From scenic hikes to neighborhood strolls and safe off-leash play, every outing is designed to provide the right balance of exercise, stimulation, and socialization. With access to some of the Bay Area’s best parks and trails, dogs in the Adventures pack enjoy an active, fulfilling, and safe experience—coming home happy, healthy, and part of a true community!
