“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Banafshe went above and beyond with George. He had some last minute medical issue which required some extra care (pills and a daily paw wash) and Banafshe was willing to attend to them and give George the extra love he needed. She is fantastic and you can tell how much she loves our 🐶!!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Kuma! He looked very happy and well cared for during his stay. I really appreciated the updates and communication. Would absolutely book again!”
“Jie took great care of our dog. Jie was very prompt with replies and took plenty of photos of our dog’s stay. We didn’t have to worry about our dog one bit. Will definitely book again.”
“Tucker loves going to Suman’s house! We get updates and pictures the whole time he’s there. There is great communication back and forth and she always responds quickly. She is very understanding and was able to get him in on short notice for us! Highly recommend❤️”
“Thuy and her family were so good to our pup Juniper! We did a meet and greet and they asked lots of great questions. Once she was there they sent photos (without having to ask!), even got a seat belt tether for her since I forgot to leave hers! They brushed her, took her for walks, played with her and took her out with them, and overall took such good care of her. We already booked another stay with Thuy!”
“Linda was absolutely patient with my dog honey! She even offered to give honey a bath and I really appreciate that, she is a trucker dog so we dont really get to give her a bath sometimes. Linda also sent updates and pictures the whole stay. Highly recommend”
“This is the first time I've used Gina for my dog and she made him feel comfortable and cared for during his overnight stay. He liked playing with her sweet dog too! I have already booked another daytime sitting with them. Yay!”
“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.”
“Homeira was absolutely wonderful! She cared for our pup with such sweetness and warmth, capturing the cutest videos. He had the best time at her home, and it was so clear he felt loved and happy. We are truly grateful to have found her. Highly, recommend! Thank you, Homeira!”
“William and his wife were great hosts for our dog. They sent daily updates and photos and videos, which I very much appreciated. Additionally, they have a beautiful yard for dogs to roam around in! I highly recommend them.”
“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!”
“Kaylee and her husband Dylan took amazing care of my dog for a week while I was out of town, and was extremely accommodating of a last minute booking. She took note of little details and sent frequent updates. My dog Biscotti clearly warmed to them very quickly, and she got lots of walks, playtime, attention, and cuddles during her stay. Couldn’t recommend Kaylee more. Thanks very much Kaylee and Dylan!”
“Zhenni was Wonderfull caring for our two doggies. Would highly recommend to anyone in need of having their pets cared for. She followed all of our detailed instruction and provided needed daily medicine. Very responsive communication and provided pictures and videos daily.”

Saedeeh was an amazing dog sitter! She truly understands dogs and has a natural way of making them feel safe and happy. Gigi was clearly well cared for, happy and relaxed. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Gigi was in such knowledgeable and caring hands. We highly recommend Saedeeh to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog sitter!
Lee was absolutely wonderful!! Our pup had the best time, was so well taken care of and we got wonderful updates throughout our trip. We felt so lucky to have Lee watch Griffin and never had to worry about him. Would highly recommend Lee!! Thank you Lee for taking such great care of our pup!!
Our experience was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, communication was quick, friendly, and professional, which gave us great peace of mind.

Thank you so much for taking such great care of our furry family member!
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.
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 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lake Forest on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,095 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.
