Highlights
Pet care experience
✨ Seasoned sitter & vet assistant ✨
🐾 I have over 20 years of experience providing exemplary care to dogs, cats, exotics and aquatics. In addition to private pet-sitting, I've also worked as a kennel assistant at a canine boarding/training facility and as a veterinary assistant with The Center for Bird and Exotic Animal Medicine. At CBEAM my responsibilities included assisting with x-rays, ultrasounds, blood testing, compounding medication, post-op patient care and regular intake and treatment for critical and emergent patients, including CPR. I absolutely loved the opportunity to work with an array of animals from parrots, anacondas, bobcats, kangaroos, raptors, sugar gliders, and more! Experienced with reactive, anxious, and special needs pets, I’m confident in caring for your creatures with the love and attention they expect and deserve. A former (and future!) dog owner, my current adopted babies include two bunnies, five cats, one gecko, a striped-knee tarantula, one axolotl (pink), and one California king snake (also pink)—I’d love to meet yours! 🐾

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and respect for the animals and people I work with are paramount! I care for each animal as an individual and maintain clear channels of communication to ensure accountable, considerate service for people and pets!
Ratings and reviews
Forest is amazing! I have had great pet sitters from Rover in the past but Forest is far and away the best ever. She clearly makes extra effort to provide the love and attention my very social kitty (Snap) likes. Forest also provides detailed updates on how Snap is eating, pooping, and anything out of the ordinary. I highly recommend her!
Do you need excellent pet care but wish for someone who will truly bond with your pet? Do you want portrait quality photos delivered to you on the regular? How about someone with a lot of pet experience and vet tech history? Forrest can do all that for you and more. They are clearly very bright and pay good attention to detail. My five pets needed extra care and assistance and their owner (me) needed a lot of reassurance. We each got what we needed and more. Additionally, my house was in such good condition when I came back from my trip you couldn’t even tell someone had been there except for the five happy, healthy fur faces ready to greet me when I came home. This happy pet owner will be rebooking with Forest if we ever need to leave town again.
Forest did a wonderful job with her visits with my cat. She provided lots of feedback and observations of a possible health issue. Thanks to Forest I came home to a very content cat after 5 days away. I highly recommend her!
Forest is very communicative and takes great care of our pets and home. :)
Forest is reliable, responsible, knowledgeable and has great communication. My dog Hunter loves when Forest comes to visit and I couldn’t have adopted Hunter without Forest’s help. Highly recommend.
Did a great job of working with my distrustfull of strangers little doggo. Do recommend, and will happily work with again!

Schedule
I am a full-time pet-sitter with a flexible schedule and open availability including weekends and holidays. Currently taking on new clients. I own reliable transportation.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsForest can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
- I'm confident around pets of all dispositions--shy, reactive, excitable, anxious, or pouncing puppy. We'll keep clear communication on all your babies' habits, preferences, quirks and charms so pets and parents feel happy and secure. Details I always discuss: personality and temperament, likes/dislikes, triggers, routines, general health and medical background including current medications/supplements, how the animals are rewarded and disciplined, relevant safety and security info about the home, expectations of pet parents.
