I Connect With Dogs

I connect with dogs and they are a major part of my life as a caretaker, walking neighborhoods, and hiking and jogging trails with them in order for them to live a balanced, healthy life. As a former state regulator, and private insurance company quality reviewer, competitive athlete and coach, I bring discipline, safety, passion, and compassion to my interactions with your loved one(s).

Forrest is truly a natural with dogs. It is clear that he treats every pet with deep respect, and the genuine joy he finds in their company is heartwarming. Beyond his natural affinity for them, Forrest provides incredibly compassionate care, always tuning into each dog's unique needs and personality. You can tell he truly loves what he does, and any dog would be lucky to spend time with him.

Safety, trust & environment

I offer dog walking, hiking, and jogging. If your dog needs overnight care, I have a fenced yard and 2 dogs to keep your loved one(s) company, and can easily give your dog safe space in a crate with their own room, adjacent to my room or your dog can sleep in the living area with my dogs.

A typical day

I will routinely walk your dog(s) and ease into a good pace that can lead to jogging with your dog if you wish. We routinely walk and or jog your neighborhood or can explore trails.
