“Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! Lorelle was so attentive to our dog Gracie and sent updates with photos daily. I have never felt so good about leaving my dog! Lorelle was excellent and I highly recommend. Feel so blessed to have found her!”
“Bani is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Cash and treated him like her own baby. I felt completely secure and comfortable having him board with her, even for a couple of weeks. She and her family were so attentive, loving, and patient with him. I really appreciated the daily photo updates, they always gave me peace of mind and made me smile. I highly recommend Bani to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Cash can’t wait to visit again!”
“Xiaoying was very communicative which I really appreciated. Gave me piece of mind knowing my little ones were in good hands. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will definitely have her be a cat sitter again. Thank you!”
“I'm so grateful to SaeWon who was incredibly flexible with my last minute request and schedule changes. She was so kind and patient with me, and she treated Piper with an abundance of love and care from the moment I dropped her off, to picking her up as she was being held like a baby in the arms of SaeWon's son. My Piper has terrible separation anxiety, but I can tell she was having a wonderful time from all the pictures and videos SaeWon sent throughout the day. She really gave me peace of mind that my baby was in good hands and being loved like their own.”
“Annie did an amazing job watching Miso! She is very caring, attentive, and made sure that Miso had the best time. It was clear that Miso felt very comfortable with her and loved staying in her home. Annie sent lots of pictures and videos to keep me updated on how Miso was doing which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend having Annie watch your fur baby, she will treat them as her own!”
“We had a really nice experience with Saeedhe taking care of Winter. She truly enjoys what she does and genuinely loves dogs, Winter was happy and we would definitely love for her to take care of him again in the future!”
“Neha provided a safe and caring environment for Nikka's first stay. She is caring and understanding to nature of dogs. She was exceptional in communications and keeping me up to date of Nikka during his stay. She was attentative and accommodating with Nikkas food as we had to adjust slightly during his stay. We appreciate all the accommodations she took. Neha has a sweet loving slightly shy dog called Hatchi who was happy to share his space with Nikka. They loved playing in the backyard with plenty of space to run around freely. We look forward to using Neha again in the future.”
“Linda is very friendly and caring for our dog, Moca. They get along very well. Gives us update and send us pictures. She’s also very understanding about Moca’s behavioral changes due to loneliness and anxiety issues after losing his brother, Bowser. Moca likes staying in her house that he almost doesn’t want to leave when we’re about to go home. Highly recommended.”
“Lee took excellent care of our 4-year-old dog, Daisy, while my fiancé and I were traveling for work. The daily updates, photos, and thoughtful reports gave us total peace of mind, and Daisy came home happy and well cared for. We truly appreciated Lee’s reliability and would highly recommend them.”
“Muskaan and her family were absolutely incredible with my dog. I truly couldn’t have asked for better care. They gave him so much love and attention. It genuinely felt like he was part of their family while he was there. They even made homemade food for him, took him on so many walks, and kept him active and happy. What meant the most to me was how often they updated me with videos and pictures. I never once felt anxious or unsure. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving hands. Seeing how comfortable and cared for he was made me so happy. I’m beyond grateful for the way they treated Enzo like he was their own dog. I would trust them again in a heartbeat!”
“Absolutely love Ms. Homeria!! She took my pitbull puppy super late notice, sent me pictures of her all throughout the day to show me how she’s doing. Pretty sure my puppy loved her because I know I did. One of the best puppy sitters around, she really enjoys taking care of them. 10/10 would definitely recommend. Thank you so much Ms. Homeria!”
“Gina was great and super accommodating. She updated us throughout our dog’s stay with many pictures and video. Our dog seemed to have a great time with her. I would definitely book again with Gina!”
“Ever since I've started using Rover, this couple is the best so far. They were very responsive with messages, sent updates daily (lots of cute pics and videos!), and they took a very good care of my pup. Their dogs are friendsly. 10/10 recommended and thanks again!”
“If you're looking for a wonderful couple (and their sweet pup Stevie) to look after your best friend, Wendy and her husband are the best choice. I was traveling on a cross country road trip and I was nervous leaving my dog with someone in an unfamiliar city, but from the minute I arrived at Wendy's house, I could tell she and her husband really loved dogs and were simply great people. They know a great amount about doggie behavior, leave their door open for the dogs to go in and out, and sent me many many precious pictures of my dog looking right at home. I would 100% recommend them to anybody looking for responsive, trustworthy, and fun pet sitters!”
“Patricia took excellent care of our puppy while we were away the week of Thanksgiving. She sent several videos and pictures and treated her like she was her own dog. We have a nervous dog and Patricia was so caring and made her feel comfortable. I would definitely use Patricia’s care in the future.”
“Jocelyn was attentive, response, kind and patient to my little Almond. I received many pictures and updates during her stay. I am extremely grateful and would highly recommend Jocelyn!”
“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!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Forest
Our experience was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, communication was quick, friendly, and professional, which gave us great peace of mind. Throughout the stay, we received updates and adorable photos everyday, and it was clear that our pet was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our furry family member!
Our family sitter fell through at the last minute due to a family emergency and we had to find another one quickly. Thankfully, SaeWon and her family were available. Our Coco is an anxious dog and requires attention when she’s in a new environment. SaeWon and her family took great care of her and assured us Coco was doing well, sending us updates and photos and videos. We can’t thank them enough for helping us out on such a short notice! ❤️🐶
We were so pleased with Gina’s care for Ozzie. We received plenty of photos and updates during our trip, which allowed us to enjoy our time away and rest easy knowing he was in good hands. We feel very lucky to have found someone we can trust to care for our extended furry family member. Thanks so much and we’re looking forward to using Gina’s services again.
Seriously, she was an absolute lifesaver for our furry friend. We got so many adorable updates and photos, it really put our minds at ease. Knowing our dog was having such a good time made our trip so much more enjoyable. We'll definitely be booking her again for our next getaway. You won't regret choosing her services!
Annie is just THE BEST! her home, hospitality and care for our little one, is unmatched. The best second home our dog could have asked for. He loves it there and always has a happy wag when he sees Annie. Most recommended for loving pet care and absolute peace of mind💓
I’m so grateful for the amazing care my dog received! From the updates to the attention and love, everything was perfect. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but I felt completely comfortable the entire time. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you Reinaldo and family 😊

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Lake Forest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lake Forest on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 4,144 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lake Forest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Lake Forest sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Lake Forest landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lake Forest home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lake Forest.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Lake Forest sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
