Pet Sitting Forest

“Hope was fabulous! Took care of Dolly & Chesney perfectly. Always sent pics &/or video to keep us in the loop. Couldn’t ask for a better situation. Especially when our holiday plans changed and we needed someone fast. She was very reactive. Thank you Hope!”

About: I’ve had dogs and other pets for as long as I can remember. When I was about 10, I became obsessed with reading about different dog breeds and their needs. My first job actually working with pets was a dog daycare. I loved building connections with the pups and their parents. At this job, I learned defensive handling skills (how to avoid or break up fights or attacks) and how to handle reactive, scared, and stubborn dogs. I work shorter hours on weekends so I’m able to make plenty of time for your baby, plus my wife is always home and will occasionally help care for your pet when I’m not around. I like to have group play or just time outside when it’s cool in the mornings and evenings. I have a fenced backyard that I check for holes daily and an open front yard (leashes at all times out front). I’m able to crate your dog at anytime they might need it and can even have them in a separate room if crates aren’t their thing. Another bonus is that my wife is home just about full time and is able to care for your pet when I’m not around. If I’m at your house, I will take your dog outside on a leash the first few times just to see how they are and to make sure they aren’t an escape artist once mom/dad is gone

About: Ever since I was little I’ve been taking care of dogs as I had my own German Shepard for quite a while. I love to play with dogs and bathe them. I always make sure they’re well fed and hydrated. I love giving out treats and making them feel loved! I even have conversations with them sometimes🤷🏻‍♀️ I love to make sure I see a happy dog; a tail wagging and a smile on their face. I’m currently a college student. I have school on mondays and wednesdays and I’m trying to find a serving job. usually early mornings and late nights I’m available as well as sometimes mid day. If you’re every curious about my availability of that week, day, or month just hit me up and I will let you know!! I make sure to take them potty or on walks. Maybe on car rides if the owner is ever okay with it. I’d make sure they’re well fed and hydrated throughout the day/week. I’d play with them and make sure they still have all of the attention they deserve and maintain their happy feelings!!

“Communication was awesome! Got daily pictures of my kitties and she worked with my needs! Made leaving them a little easier! Will use in future!”

About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I was about 9 years old! I had a hamster growing up and we had two family dogs growing up. I have experience taking care of other people's animals as well as taking care of family pets such as my sister's dog (beagle mix) and my parent's dogs (two Chesapeake bay retrievers and a rescue hound). I also have experience taking care of cats for family & friends! I also have experience helping take care of newborn puppies, as my stepdad breeds Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. I love animals and I am very passionate about taking care of them and have always had a special place in my heart for them. As of right now I work full time, from 8am-5pm I am available evenings after 5pm and I am available on weekends. I could also potentially be available on my lunch break depending on the location, as I get an hour lunch break daily from 11am-12pm. I unfortunately can't offer in-home services at this time. I will be sure to follow any instructions or guidelines you need met for your fur-baby. I am a respectful individual and I will be sure your pet has the best care!

About: I've had animals since I was 4. Been caring for other people's animals almost as long. I would walk my neighbor's dogs any time they would allow it. I also have a background in veterinary care and am used to administering medications as well as injections to dogs and cats. I have 3 cats and a dog, so I have my small menagerie that I take care of daily. But that won't stop me from taking care of your critters too! I have a partner at home that will take care of my own animals if I need to stay over to care for beloved furry family members. So no need to worry if your fluffy friends need round-the-clock care, I can do it! I have a large yard with lots of space for my dog to run, he knows not to go to the front of the house and stays close to me when we're outside and there are lots of parks nearby to go on walks. We have lots of high places for our cats to climb and perch.

About: I’m currently going to school to become an RVT! (Registered Veterinary Technician) As I am learning, I don’t have much time for an animal hospital job just yet. I would like to use these experiences for learning purposes and some extra money for schooling! I have pets at home that I take care of very well, and would like to provide as much care as possible for your pets too. Since I am still in college, my availability is 4pm to 10:30/11pm every week day. If needed on weekends, I can schedule something ahead of time no problem! Just no overnight stays. I will not take any animals to my personal home. I am able to visit your home and let them out, feed them, provide treats and toys, also walks! I love walking, but wont stray too far from their home. I can give baths, nail trims, administer at-home meds but am still in the learning process for more grooming capabilities. So far I have/have owned myself dogs/puppies, cats, bunnies, and guinea pigs!

“Ann Marie has been a life-saver! She has been checking in on my dog Ruby for weeks now and has always been so flexible and communicative with me! Definitely recommend! 🙂”

About: I have worked with dog rescues since 2018, and have adopted 4 dogs and a cat of my own. I am wanting to help others in and around my community with their pets! My full time job is Monday through Thursday, and I have the capability to care for dogs prior to 9am, and after 8pm. I also can make a stop during the day at almost any requested time for a midday potty break. I will follow directions to ensure I meet the expectations of each individual client. I can exercise your dog whether you want your dog to be leash walked, or to have play time in a fenced yard. I will adhere to feeding schedules, and ensure proper amounts are given to each individual dog. I am also able to give oral and injectable medications as needed.

“Shadae was very communicative and attentive to mine and Odessa’s needs. I could feel the love she has for her own pets carry over into her care for Odessa. She went the extra mile to ensure Odessa was comfortable. This was the longest I had been away from my pup and I could NOT have asked for a better person to watch over her. 1000/10”

What better way to spend my free time than with man's best friend at home as well. New to the area so I enjoy the company of dogs. Growing up in rural Indiana I was always around dogs whether our own or neighbors. Enjoy getting out and taking walks in new areas to explore. Have lots of free time when not working and would love to spend my time getting to hang out with new furry friends. Dog walking is another way of exercise for myself for myself when I am not spending time at the local gym. A

About: I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds since I was younger. Family, and friends have relied on me to help house sit, walk, play dates, and take their animals to day care. I’m currently in school online, but I am available to spend time walking the animals during the week and on the weekend. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I do not have a fenced in yard, living on a huge property that they are allowed to run, but if your dog is an inside animal I am willing to bring him/her to my home. I have two friendly playful dogs of my own, they are a Golden Doodle, and a German Shorthaired Pointer. I am also willing to spend time at your home playing and walking your animals as well.
