Dog Boarding Forestland

“Kelly was amazing. She is so thoughtful and caring, and she truly treated my dogs as if they were her own. She sent frequent updates, which made me feel good. My dogs had so much fun during their stay with Kelly! I was desperate to find a place for my dogs after I canceled our reservation at Wag hotels last minute. I’m so glad I did and that I found Kelly here! Highly recommend!!”

“Our pup had a great time with this loving family! Maria is very communicative and sent updates throughout the stay, and the girls are so sweet and gentle with our dog! I’m sure she’ll be excited to see them again!”

About: We've designed our experience a little differently than most. Rather than filling our home with multiple unfamiliar dogs, we intentionally host just one dog (or one family's dogs) at a time. We made this decision because we know separation can be hard. Our goal is to give every guest a calm, relaxing vacation while giving their humans peace of mind knowing their pup has our full attention. My husband Cameron and I have both been around animals our entire lives and have experience with puppies, seniors, bulldogs, and dogs with special needs. We also have two young kids (ages 3 & 6) who absolutely love animals and know how to be gentle and respectful around them. Whether your dog loves hiking, backyard sniff sessions, playing fetch, or simply curling up on the couch for a nap, we'll happily match their pace. We'll also send plenty of photos and updates throughout their stay because we know being away from your dog isn't always easy. We'd love to meet you both! We keep our schedule intentionally flexible so we can build our day around your dog's routine instead of expecting them to adjust to ours. Your dog's safety is our number one priority. Our backyard is fully fenced and we supervise outdoor time closely. Because we have young children, we've already built our home around safety. Medications, chemicals, and anything potentially dangerous stay locked away, and as a gardener I'm always mindful of which plants are safe and which aren't. If your dog joins us for a walk or an adventure, they'll always be on leash and right by our side. They won't be left unattended anytime, ever. We don't take guest dogs to dog parks or introduce them to unfamiliar dogs. We prefer controlled environments where we know exactly what's going on. We know leaving your dog with someone new can feel stressful. We take that responsibility seriously and will care for them like one of our own.

“Madeleine was great with my dog Julio! She took our very last minute request and was very responsive. She gave updates and photos each day, which put me at ease since Julio is a high anxiety dog. I would definitely book her again!”

“Our girls had a great time with Chad and his family. We will definitely be reaching out again in the future. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our babies!”

“Ulunma is such a kind and caring person, and she did a wonderful job of taking care of my young mini poodle this week. We're lucky to have her in Moraga!”

“Danielle and Joel were great with our pup, Izzi. They took plenty of pictures, made sure he exercised daily and gave him plenty of love and cuddles. We would definitely recommend them and would book them again.”

“This was such a great boarding experience! My pup is elderly and requires some patience and attention, and they were so kind and thoughtful with her. She got a bit sick on the first day and they let me know right away and were happy to make changes to her routine to work with it. I got consistent updates with pictures and felt totally certain that my dog was well cared for the entire time. Definitely one of the best dogsitters I've used through this site.”

Erin R.

“Christine was absolutely wonderful and accommodating my last minute boarding request! She was super attentive and made sure to communicate with me throughout Zosie’s entire stay. My pup had the best time and I can tell she was very well loved and taken care of while I was away. I will definitely reach out to Christine again for any future stays ❤️”

“Sherry is an AMAZING dog sitter!! I trusted her to care for my sweet but nervous 50lb girl, Ellie, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sherry was so thorough, she sent plenty of updates throughout and put me at ease! She was super responsive to my dog’s needs, and I could see Ellie just melting and falling in love with her through the updates. She’s got a lovely, clean and safe apartment and she is obviously someone who knows dogs well. I would trust Sherry with dog sitting ANY day! Highly recommend.”

“Anthony and Nikita were great about keeping us posted. We were confident that B was in loving and attentive care, and the posts and photos proved that.”

Lin L.

“Mariola is such a sweetheart. She is great at communicating and our pups look like they had the best time with her. Mariola sent us pics everyday and let us know exactly how our dogs were doing. If we weren’t moving we would have Mariola be our Rover all the time!”

Matthew S.

“Angela and her partner were amazing with my puppy Clementine!! She was very quick with responses throughout and sent great updates. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for great care while away.”

“Beth and Jeff took amazing care of my dog Fatima. I was nervous leaving her because I have only left her once before. However, Beth and Jeff have an amazing house with a huge backyard and allow the dogs free range of the area. In addition they allow the dogs to choose their sleep place. It was important to me that Fatima would not be crated during her stay. Beth and Jeff sent many updates with pictures showing Fatima’s playtime and rest time and eating. They even provided her with a slow feeder when they noticed she ate too fast! Amazing care takers who clearly care about my dogs well being and health and who want to ensure your dog has the best experience while they stay with them. It is evident they love dogs, understand dog behavior, how to read dog communication, and how to help dogs feel comfortable and adjust to the environment while they stay there. I highly recommend Beth and Jeff and will use their services again in the future. THANK YOU SO MUCH for giving me peace of mind while I was away! And thank you so much for giving Fatima a safe and amazing stay with you guys! I am so incredibly grateful. 🙏 ❤️”

“Shannon was great at taking care of Roo during my trip. She was responsive, flexible with pick-up and drop-off times—which was helpful after some last-minute work meetings—sent adorable photos and videos, and made sure everything was okay. Roo had a wonderful time in her beautiful backyard during his stay.”

Joonhee P.

“Lee was amazing!! We were really nervous about leaving our elderly pup with someone in their home but Lee definitely eased that anxiety. She kept us updated with pics and check ins as we requested, and gave Arturro lots of cuddles and lovies as we do. We love that she makes every pup feel at home! We will definitely book again!”

Ashley C.

“Robert and Brian were incredibly accommodating of me and Riley, kept me super up to date on Riley's day to day, gave her tons of attention, and were very easy to work with. They are very respectful of my needs and Riley's during the stay. Very grateful to have booked with them, I will definitely be working with them again in the future”

“Meera was great to work with, very responsive and flexible and sent lots of photos. Took Luna for nice long hikes and was thoughtful enough to ask about allergies before giving any new treats. Would book again!”
