Dog Boarding Forest

“Emily was so gracious about taking our dog on a moment's notice, and sent us pictures and updates daily which put our minds at rest. We are so relieved to have a caring, reliable choice for dog sitting nearby! I'd recommend this family to anyone.”

Katie M.

“Our mini golden retriever stayed an overnight with Kari and her sweet family. Cookie was embraced and became part of the family. She received great care and was very comfortable Cookie gave this dog airbnb a 5 star review. Thanks to Kari and her family. We hope to return again soon.”

“Alliyah did a great job with our girls! She’s sweet, professional and knowledgeable. She was on board with doing a meet and greet prior to booking which was a huge help. She’s got two sweet dogs of her own and knows just how to ensure new dogs are best able to acclimate to her home. Definitely recommend!”

Emma H.

“We use Brenda exclusively. She is the best! She sends photos and updates and we always know they are well cared for. Sissy runs in when we get there as if to let everyone know she has arrived. This confirms to me she loves staying with Brenda. I’m so glad we found her.”

Tracy S.

“Caroline and Spencer are the best! We will always use them whenever we go out of town! They took such great care of our girl Xena! Their home is amazing and dog friendly! We are so thankful for having them be our rovers! ??”

About: With over 15 years of hands-on animal experience, I've built a life around caring for pets of all kinds - and it shows the moment your fur baby walks through my door. I currently share my property with my own cats, dogs, and horses, so your pet will be welcomed into a real animal home - complete with a couple acres to roam and a fully fenced yard. This isn't an apartment sit; this is country living for your pet. I'm an approved foster with two local rescue organizations and have been actively fostering for 7+ years across multiple groups. That experience means I'm highly skilled at managing pack dynamics, introducing new animals smoothly, and keeping every pet calm, safe, and comfortable - even in a full house. I've personally housebroken and trained all of my own animals, and I'm happy to reinforce any commands or routines your pet already knows. I'm also fully comfortable administering medications and adapting care for pets with special needs - just let me know what your pet requires and I'll make it work. Your pet isn't just a booking to me. They're a guest in a home where animals truly come first. Animal care isn't something I fit into my day - it IS my day. Because I work from home, I'm on the property and present with the animals throughout the day, every day. My routine naturally revolves around morning and evening feeding rounds for my own cats, dogs, and horses, which means your pet slots right into an already structured, consistent care schedule - not an afterthought squeezed between other commitments. During the day your pet will have regular check-ins, outdoor time in a fenced yard, and plenty of company - both human and animal. If your dog needs an extra walk, or your pet needs medication administered on a specific schedule, I'm here and available to make that happen. For me, adding a boarding guest isn't a disruption - it's just one more animal who gets to experience a home where care and routine are already deeply built in. When your pet comes to my home, they're stepping into a fully functioning animal household. From the moment they arrive, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I follow your pet's lead and never force interaction with my own animals until everyone is comfortable. With 7+ years of fostering experience, introductions and pack dynamics are something I handle carefully and confidently. Your dog will have the opportunity to socialize and play with my four friendly dogs (after appropriate intros are made) - making their stay feel less like boarding and more like a playdate. For social dogs, it's honestly the highlight of the visit! During their stay, pets can expect: - Structured feeding times aligned with your pet's normal schedule and diet - Outdoor time in our securely fenced yard and rural acreage throughout the day - Plenty of human interaction since I work from home and am present all day - Medications or special care administered exactly as instructed - Reinforcement of existing commands and routines so nothing slips while you're away I keep owners updated with photos and check-ins throughout the stay so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My home is their home - and around here, animals always come first.

“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our pup was nerve racking as we'd come into town for a graduation. I was very impressed with Joleen's quick responses and the very smooth hand off and pick up. Our pup came back to us seemingly not wanting to leave. Highly recommend!”

“Marketa and her family were so sweet to Snickers and treated him wonderfully. He came home happy and healthy! I loved all the pictures and updates sent throughout the week. Definitely will use again in the future!”

Laura W.

“This family was a delight to work with and they were so loving with my dog. They would have happily kept him forever but I couldn’t part with him. It was a huge relief to board him in a location where he received personal attention and lots of play time.”

Lynnette L.

“Arabella did such a great job taking care of my pup. It was his first time doing boarding and I’m so glad I picked Arabella for his first experience.”

Nicole M.

“We were so happy with our dog in Jessica's care! He had a few medical needs requiring some extra attention and meds to be given and she was great with him. She even texted us some updates to just check in while we were gone. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.”

Courtney B.

“Jodie has been helping out with our boy several times now and she has been the best caretaker. Very attentive to every dog in her care and the pictures she sends are the best! She has always been reliable and we will continue to have her watch over our pug.”

Lacey M.

“It was our first time leaving our dog Ollie to stay with anyone and Allison made it a lot easier for us! She sent us pictures of him playing and let us know how he was doing the whole time. We picked him up after being gone a week and he didn’t want to leave. Would highly recommend Allison to anyone needing someone to watch their dog!”

About: Hi! I have taken care of pets my whole life. I have a lot of experience with all animals with all different kinds of needs. I currently work 6am-3pm on Monday through Friday. I am able to come by and/or sit after work. I am available on weekends full time! I have an unfenced yard but it’s big and great for running around and play time! I have my own dog to either keep yours company or can stay with my sister to ensure the comfort of your pup!

“Emily is very professional. Our dogs were very happy with her. Really appreciate the frequent walks and pictures. Our pups stayed on routine as much as possible being away from home. Thanks!”

Bonnie D.

“I had surgery so I found Chantel to watch my two dogs for two weeks. Well, what turned into two weeks turned into four weeks total and Chantel was very gracious to keep my two dogs for another two weeks, which was quite unexpected. Chantel did a very good job in meeting their needs and keeping me informed of how they were doing. I would highly recommend Chantel in the future.”

About: I have grown up with cats, dogs and many other animals, and have been trusted to care for neighborhood pets since highschool. I have experience with senior, and energetic breeds, and even trained my border collie in agility. I am currently in a season ample time to dedicate to your pet. I am flexible and can provide excellent pet care whenever you need. I have a yard and a large park next to my home with space for walks. I also have a dog and am currently fostering a cat.

About: Hi, I’m Laurel! I grew up with animals my whole life and have always had a genuine passion for pets of all sizes and species. I’m fun, organized, responsible, and excited for the opportunity to help care for your pets while you’re away! What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet as an individual. I understand that young, senior, and special-needs pets may require different levels of patience, attention, and care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means extra playtime and structure for a young pet or a slower pace and additional attention for a senior pet. Most importantly, your babies will be cared for, loved, and treated just as if they were my own. I want you to feel confident and comfortable knowing they’re in good hands while you’re away! I currently work a full-time job, but pet care fits well into my daily routine. I’m available in the early mornings for feedings, potty breaks, walks, and some quality time before I head to work. In the evenings, I’m available for walks, playtime, dinner, and of course, plenty of snuggles and attention before bedtime. I also have much more flexibility on weekends and can dedicate additional time to your pets, whether they need longer walks, extra playtime, companionship, or just someone to keep them company. I’m organized and responsible, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive the care and attention they’re used to. While I do have a full-time job, I’m committed to making pet care a priority and providing dependable, loving care whenever your pets need me. I’ve grown a genuine love for animals and feel that I can bond with almost any pet. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m happy to follow your specific instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, bedtime routines, and anything else your pet may need. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m so looking forward to getting to know your pets, giving them plenty of love and attention, and helping you have peace of mind while you’re working, traveling, or simply away from home. Your pets’ happiness and well-being are my priority! 🐾❤️

“Tiffany took great care of my dog. I know she was anxious because there were other dogs there, but Tiffany made sure she felt safe and comfortable.”

“After four or five meet and greets, Crystal was the only one our little girl gelled with! She is sweet and kind and treated our pup with the special care she needed. We are SO pleased and thankful for Crystal!”
