House Sitting • Sep 01, 2026

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 :)

Emily forest is gentle and caring. It is important to them that pets receive love! Emily forest grew up in a home where animals were respected and cared for. They always wanted to make sure animals were safe, fed, played with, and that they felt loved, including dogs, rabbits, chickens, and birds. They are conscientious about doing what they say they will do, being on time, and making sure animals have the care they need. They follow directions for animal care (ie food/animal’s needs) and handle pets with gentleness. People care that their animals are loved, and this is what Emily forest does!

forest is exceptionally warm, kind, and responsible. Their connection, deep attunement to, and play with animals always brings me and my furry pals comfort and ease. Their level of responsibility and care is immeasurable and I am always grateful to call upon them for any of my pet needs and support. It’s rare to find such a genuine, loving soul to love and care for my pet pals. ❤️
