Dog Boarding in Lake Forest

“Alexandra was amazing with mister snuggles! She was super responsive, sent lots of pictures and updates, and went above and beyond to make him feel safe—she even slept on the floor with him when he was stressed. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”

“Sandra and her family are the best! She was very communicative and sent pictures daily. Most importantly I could tell our dog was being well taken care of and given lots of attention by her and her family. I can’t thank her enough and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, loving and caring boarder.”

“Lee was so attentive to my dogs needs and went above and beyond in her care. I was sent multiple updates and she even tucked her in to make sure she was warm at night. I felt very secure and at ease leaving her overnight with Lee. Highly recommend her! ☺️”

“My 5 year old cat, Nemo, spent a full week here with Xiaoying and her hubby! We got so many photos, videos, and updates that kept us at ease while on vacation. Nemo was so comfortable and I could tell she had a great time hanging out with other cats! At the end of Nemo's stay, Xiaoying gave us a cute photo of Nemo to remember her time here. So sweet!!! 🥹 I will most definitely rebook in the future and can't recommend Xiaoying enough!”

“On our second stay, Ladybug was so excited to see Nika that her whole body was wiggling with tail wagging ecstatically and she was jumping on Nick for attention! This shows me that Ladybug had an awesome experience with Nika and Nick and it makes me feel reassured to leave our dog in their care. I've already booked a third stay and it's 10 days long but I know Nika and Nic will do a good job with Ladybug.”

“After picking up Tanuki, I could tell she had a wonderful time with Sandra and her family. Sandra did a great job making sure Tanuki was comfortable and well taken care of, and sent me updates with pictures daily. It also warms my heart that Mocha and Tanuki became fast friends! Thank you for Tanuki's fun-filled weekend!!”

“Laurie was very attentive to my dog. She sent daily updates which my kids, wife and I really appreciated. Kept us in the loop on how he was doing as well. Highly recommend. Thank you.”

“Detailed oriented and very reliable dog-sitter! I boarded my dog and she got along with Seonah’s dog very well and had not only a safe environment to stay in but also had so much fun. She stayed on my dogs feeding schedule and never missed her vitamins and probiotics :)”

“Erin was very kind and worked with my schedule to take care of Comet while I was out of town, and went out of her way to make sure he was happy and safe.”

“Cinthia has taken care of my pug, Igor for 2 and a half years now. She taught him many tricks and most importantly showed him discipline and how to behave on walks.She has really helped me raise him.”

“Thank you Gina, Daniel and Daisy for watching our Penny again! You truly treat her as your own. Love the daily pictures and constant communication. Penny was left in awesome hands :)”

“Mika was absolutely wonderful and we were so lucky that she was able to watch Mochi. She’s very communicative and sends the cutest photos. Mochi was extremely happy when we went to pick her up and didn’t want to leave!”

“This was our second stay with Amanda, and she once again did a fantastic job with my girls. They were so well taken care of and they were happy pups when I came to pick them up. Having such a warm and safe place to stay makes me feel at ease when I have so much going on with an upcoming move. So happy to have found Amanda!!!”

About: Hello! I’m Monika, a devoted pet caregiver based in Lake Forest, CA. Throughout my life, I’ve been surrounded by animals, nurturing a deep understanding and love for their unique needs. One of my most rewarding experiences has been with my dog, Aira. Rescued from an abusive situation, Aira was initially fearful and mistreated. Through a year of dedicated training and rehabilitation, I helped her overcome her anxieties, transforming her into the best, joyfull and fearless dog. Though she now lives with my parents due to our living arrangements, the bond we have is unbreakable. Currently, I live with my husband and our affectionate cat, Nala. Nala’s affectionate nature has further deepened my appreciation for feline companionship. My firsthand experience with both dogs and cats has equipped me with the skills to cater to various temperaments and needs. As a Rover user, I’ve observed the nuances of pet sitting and understand the importance of personalized care. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where your pets feel comfortable and cherished. Whether it’s a playful walk, a cozy cuddle session, or tending to specific routines, I’m committed to ensuring your pet’s safety and happiness. Let’s connect to discuss how I can support your pet care needs and offer your furry family members the attention and love they deserve. I work from home Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, I’m available for drop-in visits during early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I can also host small dogs or cats or even other small animals for in-home sitting. Living in an apartment with my husband and our cat, Nala, we maintain a minimalist, clutter-free home, reducing potential hazards and creating a serene space for pets. Our spacious, enclosed balcony offers a secure area for pets to enjoy fresh air and sunlight. I have taken measures to pet-proof the balcony, ensuring it’s safe for supervised activities. When caring for pets in your house/appartment, I treat your home with the utmost respect. I adhere to your guidelines, maintain cleanliness, and ensure all property is cared for responsibly.

“Tina took great care of Georgie for a whole week, I can tell Georgie was so happy with Tina and other puppies there! He had tons of fun😄 The community process was super smooth through out Georgie’s boarding, we received many photos and videos updates from Tina during his stay there which was a huge ease of mind during our travel abroad! Thank you so much 😊🫶🏻”

“Shuyi did a great job. She was easy to communicate with and kept me updated a lot with how things were going. Peanut seemed happy and well taken care of. I'd be happy to use her again as my sitter.”

“We had a pleasant experience leaving our dog with Johnny. She didn’t even wonna come home when we picked her up. We can see that she liked the stay and Johnny kept us updated with daily photo and video. He’s also very thorough in understanding what would be good for my dog when it comes to whether she’s a hiking dog, dog park dog, etc. We are very happy and would use Johnny’s service again.”

“Amanda did amazing with my dogs. She took care of them and sent me multiple updates of photos and videos. I am so thankful for her and her patience with my heart dog. Will use Amanda again!”
