Dog Walking Forestland

About: I am a dog lover and lived with dogs my whole life. I have taken care of dogs on and off for the past 8 years including boarding, house-stays, and walks. I currently have pretty flexible schedule and can make my hours fit for you - if there is a time conflict I will make sure to inform you and propose another time (if applicable). I cannot currently board dogs in my home (my dog is going through cancer treatment), but I am happy to do house-stays or walks. I ensure pets have their boundaries respected and I will ask plenty of questions to understand your pet’s personality and potential reactivity.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life! At one point, my family had up to four dogs at a time. I also have taken care of other animals (lizards, cats, fish) for neighbors, friends, and random job postings found online! I am capable of bathing, walking, feeding, giving medications/ treatments, socializing, or whatever you need for your pets! I am currently in school online and taking some time off of work! This leaves me with extreme flexibility to take care of your animals. Every pet and pet parent is unique! As long as you give me the gist of what your pet needs, I am happy to provide that.

“Lynn was a super reliable dog walker again for my pup! I really appreciated her communication and understanding when I had to cancel an additional walk to take my dog to the vet.”

“Shanley was great with both our dogs and even adjusted her schedule to take them on earlier walks when a heat wave came in the middle of our trip. We so appreciated her flexibility and her concern for our doggos’ well-being!”

“Annalise did an amazing job with Happy! Happy is a very friendly but anxious dog. I’m glad he got along with Annalise :) would definitely book again since I’m a frequent traveller.”

About: I have experience with cats who are particularly anxious, I am able to provide much more than just feeding and regular care tasks. I have experience with emotional regulation for anxious cats and dogs , and I’m able to provide extra attention through extended stays, diverse kinds of play, and overnight care. I also have prior experience with elderly dogs who need special accommodation. I work only 2 days a week, and have a very open flexible schedule at the moment. I can provide a wide range of services, my most notable experience is working with anxious pets who need extra attention and love! For dogs, I prefer to take dogs on multiple walks (ideally 3 walks per day) to encourage lots of activity, I can encourage socializing if needed. For cats, I love to drop in and play, give affection or just coexist as needed!

“Jen is super communicative whether it’s regarding coordinating logistics or sharing updates about our dog, Bento. It really just helps put our minds at ease especially when we’re traveling. Highly recommend!”

“Michelle was very prompt in answering my request for a walk. She arrived on time and was very great with our dog. Looking forward to working together on a reoccurring basis. I would very much recommend working with Michelle.”

“Ava has taken wonderful care of our dog Kirby while walking her everyday. Ava even spent some extra time with Kirby until she felt more comfortable. Overall Ava has been very professional and communicative. We are glad we found someone to take such good care of our dog!”

“Isabella is a very responsible and caring dog person. She has been caring for my pup for 7 months in a variety of ways: day/evening care, walks, and house sitting. What has impressed me most is her ability to build a bond with my people-shy and anxious pup. She is patient and kind, speaks to him in a thoughtful way and shows genuine concern for his well-being. Other skills and traits that Isabella possesses: -reliable and consistent communicator sending updates and reaching out when she has questions -flexibility with regards to scheduling, if need be, she makes adjustments -conscientious in administering my dogs meds and feeding him treats and special food -safety and privacy is top of mind with Isabella and she follows house rules and special med instructions in caring for my dog Last but not least, I have no reservations when going away because I know she will take good care of my home. I highly recommend Isabella to care for anyone's pet, they will love her!”

“As per usual, Ruthy went above and beyond to take care of Larr when I needed a dog walker last minute. Would recommend her highly!”

Sashi M.

“Adam is a wonderful pet carer and our shy rescue pup immediately warmed up to him. He has a great, calming, positive energy and is completely trustworthy. As soon as I met him, I knew Chami would be in good hands. He's very punctual, always bang on time to walk our dog and responsive with messaging and photo updates. I would 100% recommend him!”

Mary H.

“Nicole was quick to respond, arrived early, and was a total sweetheart to my pup! I'm looking forward to working with her again.”

Ikiah M.

“Elena was great with our little pup. She was on time, communicative, gave a detailed report, and sent tons of photos! Looking forward to having our boy play with her and Penny again ❤️”

Melissa R.

“Zsa-zsa is phenomenal and did a great job caring for my old dog while I was out of town. She is communicative and kind and clearly has a way with the four-legged among us. She'll be our go-to-gal from here on out!”

About: I've been taking care of pups and kitties since I was about 8 yrs old! I've learned how to identify triggers and/or warning signs with this experience. Hello ☺️ I just moved to the Bay Area and I'm a pawrent to one pup and two kitties! I just got my degree in Video Production/Film and will be freelancing when I can, which means my schedule is very open!! My current availability for drop-in visits and pup walking is Monday- Sunday 6am-10pm, unless it's a blocked out date. I would prefer to have a meet & greet before any booking. This helps me understand how to properly care for each pet. I always want to make sure that each furry friend, fur parent, and myself feels comfortable before hand. Whenever I drop in to visit, I make sure to do what ever is asked in regards to caring for your furry babies! Potty breaks. Making sure they are fed. Cuddle sessions! And of course making sure that I leave everything how it was before I arrived.

“We love the way he is with our two puppies. Can only recommend. Thanks!”

“Extremely reliable, was able to make a last minute time change. Barkerini seemed very comfortable with her, and now greets her at the door. Jena is going to be a big help when I need to be gone for the day ;-)”

About: As a family we have fostered, trained and rehomed over 30 rescue dogs. We currently live in the Oakland hills with our three dogs. I’m comfortable with any size or breed I’m a stay at home dad and artist. My kids need me less as they’re teenagers now so I have the time and availability for pet care. We have fostered a range of breeds over the years. I have plenty of experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. We also have a fenced in backyard for any visiting dogs.
