Dog Walking Forest Springs

“Lara is very communicative and easy to work with. One of my dogs is very skittish and slow to warm up with new people, and the other is very large and over exuberant, and Lara has been great with them both. My dogs enjoy her visits and are always quiet and restful throughout the evening when she comes. And I love knowing they're not stuck inside all day. I'll definitely use Lara again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I currently check on and feed a family friends dogs on the weekends when needed, I always leave the space how I found it and make sure the dogs have enough water and haven't gotten into anything they are not supposed to, I have experience with difficult dogs and have been researching dog behavior and training these past 3 years. I take every job I'm given very seriously and I am dedicated to the safety and well being of any animal I am responsible for, and I am more than willing to follow any special instructions in regards to your animal. every dog is different and I aim to give the best care to every dog put in my care. I am open to caring for dogs that need extra special care and attention such as reactivity or anxiety, or likely to run away if given the chance. I look forward helping out with your animals in whatever way I can. I work 2 days a week, and go to school 3 days a week, but I have lots of downtime on the weekends and evenings during the week when caring for animals in your home I will always double check that doors are closed and lights are off/on, and leave everything the way it was when I got there, as well as making sure your dog hasn't gotten into anything.

“Fantastic! He's pooped!”

“Ashley was an absolute pleasure to work with! I needed last-minute care for my dog, so I reached out to her around 10pm the night before. I was very grateful for her quick reply at that hour. She happened to be available the next day, which was such a lifesaver. We did a meet & greet around 10am, and later that afternoon she came by to give my dog a short walk/potty break. She followed all of my instructions and kept me updated with detailed messages, which gave me confidence that she understood what was needed. She also sent several videos during the walk which gave me peace of mind. My dog is currently recovering from an injury, so it was especially important to find someone who would be patient, attentive, and responsible. Ashley was exactly that, and I felt relieved knowing my dog was in such caring hands. Ashley is kind, reliable, communicative, and seemed to genuinely enjoy connecting with my pup. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy petsitter. I would absolutely book with her again!”

“Ulysses was very understanding and helpful when I was trying to figure out the app while teaching and trying to arrange a same day dog walk! Thank you, Ulysses! And most importantly he was great with my 2 big dogs! They both felt instantly comfortable with him, had a great walk and were happy and tired all day afterwards!”

“Evan was great! He met with Koda every day during scheduled times, and sent us picture updates. When our schedule changed, he was very flexible as well. Thanks again!”

“Sydney has walked my dog, Louis, on several occasions. His interaction with Louis is very positive and Louis is excited when Sydney comes. Sydney has always been on time and sends pictures during the walk to let me know that he has Louis. I definitely recommend Sydney!”

About: I understand the various and complex needs of dogs of different breeds, ages, sizes, and reactivity. As someone with a high energy large breed dog I have specific experience with dogs that need a little more to get their energy out. I am confident that I will be more than able to get your pup that care that it needs to be happy and healthy. I am a college student that is currently home for the summer. I have open availability and should be able to accommodate almost any busy schedule so your pet can get the care it requires. Your dogs safety is my number one priority. I would love to hear any specific needs that your pet may have and will do everything in my power to accommodate them. I have experience with very large/strong dogs as well as reactive or high energy pups. My goal is to create a walk that meets the specific requirements of your dog and ensures that they are safe and comfortable.

About: Pet sitter with a passion for being with dogs and training all my own puppies. Trusted for reliability, personalized attention, and for mostly creating/providing a stress free environment. I’m currently working part-time, and going to school full time, but school is only in the mornings, which leaves me the rest of the day to be with your fur babies. In my home, I prioritize my pets well-being through regular play sessions, feeding times, and baths every 2 weeks or so. Their happiness and health is one of my top priorities.

“Sumaira is always on time and I know I can count on her to take good care of my fur babies. While walking my Siberian Husky another dog that was unleased attacked my dog. Sumaira safely got my girl home and check her out from head to toe. She promptly notified me that the husky was attacked, however alright. Sumaira let me know there was a little blood on her ear, however she did not appear to be injured. I myself have had another dog attack us when we were walking. Sumaira did the responsible thing and notified me and ensured my girl was alright. In this type of situation that is best can be accomplished and despite this incident I will ask Sumaira to walk her again.”

“Anna was wonderful in taking my dog, Haley, for walks when I was laid up with an issue with my foot. Anna let me know when she was on the way over, very on time, super nice upon meeting, great with introducing to my dog Haley and engaging with Haley, very sweet. I so appreciated Anna's help and would definitely reach out to Anna again when I need help.”

About: I have sixteen 5 star reviews on Trusted House Sitters (along with my wife Allison who joins me on most dog and cat sits.) We have taken care of dogs of various sizes as well as a lot of cats. We both work remotely which makes us very flexible for pet care. I can work remotely from anywhere on my laptop (part time!) which allows me plenty of time to care for your dog or cat. After my years as a Trusted House Sitter, my goal is to spend most of my time dedicated to caring for animals as they are my passion so they will be my number one priority! I care for your pets in your home, I will be in most of the day working online so they will get plenty of potty breaks and attention. I am always available to contact and will make sure you receive photos and updates multiple times a day.

“My shepherd mix lives his walks with Jasmine. He likes long walks and Jasmine sometimes takes him beyond my requested walk so he gets all the exercise!”

About: Many years ago I worked as a vet tech. I have been involved withwildlife and pet rescue literally all my life. I have successfully raised a few well-mannered, helpful and obedient dogs. My pups always have chores (ie: retrieving the newspaper, carrying in groceries, helping with yard work). I do my best to keep everything consistent for your fur babies. I try to keep to your normal routine and use your terminology and commands. Everyone so far has been pretty consistent ("sit, stay, off, leave it, release, etc) so I haven't needed to change up my vocabulary much. If you have multiple pets please ask me about adjusting the rates for each additional pet over 3. I can usually make adjustments. I am retired, therefore, able to devote all of my time to the pets and home that I am caring for. I love to garden so pulling weeds makes me happy. Lately, I have been making terreriums so you could come home to a needless yard and a jar full of plants. If you have a junk drawer or closer you'd like organized, leave me a list. Much more fun to organize your junk drawer than mine! I do my best to keep anxiety to a minimum and fun to the max. I want your pets to associate your suitcase with a fun time with me vs missing you. No matter how much fun I give them, they will still be overjoyed when you return. As it should be!

About: My pets are my best friends and I understand how difficult it can be to find genuine care for them when work or trips get in the way, I want to offer your pets the care I would hope to find for my own. I’m an active and reliable sitter and walker and I pride myself on treating all animals with the respect they deserve. Aside from my own pets, many family friends have trusted me to care for both cats and dogs while they are on trips. I work well with high energy animals of any size or age. I have experience walking med-lg dogs such and beagles, labs, and golden retrievers. I also have walked smaller dogs such as schnauzers and pugs😁 I’m willing to take pets outside of the neighborhood to a beach or nearby trail if your dog is adventurous! I love working shy cats, active cats, and lazy cats alike. Feline friends have such a distinct personality and I love getting to know them. I’m working part time and have plenty of availability to spend time with your pets in the afternoons and evenings! Weekends are a great time for me to spend longer hours making sure your pets get plenty of activity and care :) I do not offer my home for services. In your home, I prefer any supplies needed for your pet are left out so I can respect your space by only being present for your pet :)

About: My family has always been passionate about giving animals the best possible life & experience that we possibly could. I have owned multiple dogs of different sizes and owned for multiple kinds of reptiles. I have experience carrying for special needs dogs as two of our dogs needed extensive medical care and medication administered multiple times of day as they near the end of their lives. I consider myself to be very calm and respectful of people’s fur babies and home. I’m currently working part time, just 10 hours a week and I spend most of my time when I’m not working doing schoolwork. I’m a local college student and avid pet lover. Im passionate and safety oriented. I’ll spend most of my time caring for your pets and reading my textbooks. I’m a quick learner and can follow any instructions you set for me. I have experience administering medications to dogs as my previous dog required multiple bouts of different medication throughout the day during the end of her life. I also have experience with reptiles and heating requirements and general feeding schedules.

About: I’m a UC Santa Cruz Legal Studies graduate and former student athlete, originally from San Diego, who recently moved to LA. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I’ve cared for dogs throughout college and have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, including through Unleashed by Petco, friends, family, and my own dog. I have a safe, comfortable home with a great patio, and would love to meet your dog and give them lots of love! My schedule is flexible and opened throughout the week here in Santa Cruz and I’m able to consistently fit in pet care. I have open availability on weekdays, weekends, and for overnights. I have enough flexibility to provide walks, drop-ins, and overnight care assuring all dogs I take care of get all the care they require and more. I have a safe, pet-friendly home with a large front yard and grassy patio that is fully fenced in. All dogs have plenty of safe space to relax and play. My home is a non-smoking environment, and I keep it clean and safe for all pets. I also have a dog of my own, so I’m used to daily care, structure, and making sure pets are comfortable and supervised at all times. I do pet care partly because I miss my own dog when I’m away, and I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and giving them attention. It feels natural to me, and I treat every dog I watch with the same care and attention I would want for my own.
