Forest was the perfect dog sitter. She took care of our dog and home with love and care and not only brought Keeley out in walks but out on little excursions which we know Keeley loved! We would love to book forest again!

It was so wonderful having forest back to care for kitty. Once again the communication and attention to detail was superb. Everything left glistening clean and I could tell my cat had so much good attention she was very satisfied. So grateful to receive this continued support from Forest. They will definitely be my first choice for caregiving of my animals!

Forest was absolutely wonderful with our cats. From the start, communication was easy and thorough, with regular updates and adorable photos that put our minds at ease. Our kitties felt comfortable with Forest right away, snuggling up on the couch and even sleeping curled up next to them. Beyond the wonderful care, Forest also left our home spotless. We couldn't ask for a better sitter and would absolutely book again.

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with having Forest house sit for us. We had easy communication from the beginning. It took a bit of back-and-forth to make sure we didn’t have latex upholstery/bedding products in our home, but completely worth it! Forest was quick to respond and asked great and thoughtful questions which made getting things confirmed faster than any of our previous house sits. They took wonderful care of our cat and did everything else I asked them to do. They sent photos and updates while we were away. Our cat was well cared for in our absence and we returned to a clean home. I wish Forest could house sit for us every time we leave town!

Forest was an impeccable cat sitter, when I returned home my cat was so happy and I could tell been really well cared for. My home was very clean and tidy, everything in it's place, and I even got photo updates of my cat playing with Forest while I was away. This is so comforting, as my cat is older and needs a lot of attention. I will definitely be hiring Forest again for regular cat sitting, they are a warm and clear communicator and extremely responsible.

Forest did an amazing job watching my dog, Bo, while I was out of town. They kept me up to date on all the happenings around the house and sent daily feedback about Bo. Including pictures and videos! Forest took wonderful care of Bo and asked all the right questions before I headed out of town. I knew they were going to be a perfect sitter and they didn’t disappoint! From quality care, waiting until the heat of the day was past to walk, sending updates and leaving a spotless house… forest was spectacular! If you have the chance to book with forest, I would highly recommend! They took the time to ask about Bo’s needs and my expectations. I knew I was getting quality care with forest. I was welcomed back by one happy healthy pup thanks to forest :)

i have an airborne latex allergy so i go through a materials checklist with pet parents to set up new sits. once we’re in the clear, we can set up a chat! :) i’d love to know your animals’ routines, their favorite activities and toys, any special needs they have, if they have any reactivities, and if they need any particular physical or social supports.
