Love to care for your animals

Pet care experience

Local "Dog Whisperer" has vet experience. I'll have your dog or cat loving their new best friend right off the bat. Available for one or two dogs at a time for walking. I'm service oriented and will strive to provide the best in customer satisfaction. I'll gladly travel anywhere within Chico. I utilize my psychology experience (B.A.), plus 20 years in retail and 6 years as a public advocate to create the best environment for you and your dog. Will gladly provide basic grooming, ex. bathing and grooming upon request. I'm healthy, active and recently retired. I've lived in Chico for 25 years. References are available. I worked with veterinarians prior to completing my university studies. This line of work was my absolutely favorite job, and I'm returning to pet care for my retirement side hustle.

This was Beau’s first stay with Forest. He took Beau for long walks a few times a day, and he provided daily updates with photos. Forest treated our pup as if he were his own, and his home is well-suited for dogs. We would definitely use Forest again for our future boarding needs. Thank you!

Maeve loves going to Forest's house! We are so grateful to have found someone we trust with Maeve. Forest always makes sure she gets good exercise and has fun stories to share with us after her stays.

Forest has extremely great, consistent, clear communication. He is very kind and empathetic, and you can tell he really cares about dogs and is committed to delivering excellent service to owners. Our dog ended up sick during our scheduled visit with Forest and he was very understanding about our need to modify the booking and wait some things out.
