About the Founder
Meet Forrest Maher:
Experienced. Dedicated. Local.
Hi, I’m Forrest. I have been a proud Lakewood resident since 2011 where I reside with with my ultra-athlete wife Laurie, and our two dogs, Evergreen and Luna. My life is defined by movement, dedication, and service. As a lifelong long-distance walker, hiker, runner, and former competitive athlete and coach, I know what it takes to build endurance safely. I personally log 50 to 120 miles every single week in rain, sleet, or snow and I bring this same relentless commitment and athletic discipline to caring for your beloved pet.
My Professional Background:
Recreation Therapy:
Coordination and animal care
(including horse handling).
State Civil Service:
Licensing & Enforcement
(ensuring total compliance and safety).
Quality Review:
For top-tier insurance providers.
Dedicated to your Dog
All sessions are tailored to each dog’s specific needs.
I don’t give up on people, and I don’t give up on dogs.
I bring my professional safety standards and athletic discipline to caring for your pet.
