“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”
“Wen was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! She took such loving, attentive care of them, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. She was also incredibly accommodating with our fluctuating travel schedule, which made everything easier for us. We’re so grateful for the care and flexibility she provided and will definitely be using Wen again. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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! ❤️🐶”
“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!”
“This was our second time leaving Kulfi, and they took such great care of her again. Xiaoying sent lots of photos and videos, along with detailed updates that gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Kulfi looked happy, comfortable, and playful, which means so much to us. We really appreciate how attentive and caring they are, and we’d absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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!”
“My experience with Polyanna couldn't have been more positive. She was punctual and super friendly in all of our meetings. She sent me photos of Jojo while I was away, which made me feel very calm and reassured :) I was happy my dog had the chance to socialize and be with someone else other than me (she's over attached). I can't thank Polyanna enough!”
“Grace had the best time with Neha and her family! Grace stayed an entire month so it was crucial for me to know that she was going to be taken care of appropriately, especially as I was going abroad. This is a stressful time for a dog owner as you want to be sure you are making the right choice. Immediately after meeting with Neha and her husband, I knew that she would be well at Neha's. Grace and Hachi (Neha's dog) hit it off nicely and got along together quickly. Neha's house was very welcoming and dog friendly. Neha and her husband were very kind, they wanted to be sure they could provide appropriate care for my dog and that their dog and mine would get along. All the conditions were there for me, really. During my trip, I was getting pictures daily, and I could tell Grace felt at home there, I saw her playing, resting, smiling. I almost fell bad she would have to leave because she no longer have dog friends to play with at home (my other dog passed away recently). I would definitely ask Neha to watch Grace again and we talked about having play dates for Grace and Hachi in the near future. 5 stars! Well deserved!”
“My dog Junie loves staying with Thuy and family! They take such good care of her and love her like their own. It brings me such peace of mind to know she’s well taken care of while we are away!”
“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!”
“Review for Donna and Mike's Pet Care Services I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care that Donna and Mike provided for my dog, Bailey. Finding trustworthy caretakers was incredibly important for me, especially after Bailey's traumatic experience at a prestigious boarding facility, which nearly cost him his life. I was cautious and anxious about leaving him again, but from the moment I met Donna and Mike, I knew he would be in safe hands. Throughout my business trip, I felt a tremendous sense of relief knowing that Bailey was receiving the love and attention he deserves. Donna and Mike truly treated him like one of their own, providing the home-like environment that is so vital for a dog recovering from anxiety. Their genuine compassion and dedication to ensuring Bailey's comfort and happiness were evident every step of the way. I received regular updates and photos, which reassured me that Bailey was not only okay but thriving in their care. Their commitment to making him feel secure and loved made all the difference. It’s clear that Donna and Mike have a deep passion for animals, and I couldn’t be more thankful to have found them. If you are looking for pet care that is reliable, nurturing, and personalized, I wholeheartedly recommend Donna and Mike. They are a blessing for both pets and their owners, and I will always turn to them for Bailey's care in the future!”
“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.”
“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!!”
“I cannot say how wonderful this experience was. Communication was excellent. Multiple pictures sent without asking. I think my dog liked it there better than Home. I cannot recommend this Rover more. I will definitely use them again and I suggest you do as well.! if I could give six stars, I would”
“Cie is a no-nonsense Super Nanny ⭐️ to my boy Frenchies, Patch & Rocky. They stayed with Cie for 5 nights. She took the boys on multiple walks throughout the day and let them hang out at the pool cabana!! She was very attentive to them and tried to manage their stress level on their first day. We received photos and video updates every day. They made friends, went on squirrel watch, got plenty of exercises, and most importantly, I think they were VERY well taken care of. They even got a Report Card for their stay. 😂 I think Cie Is a true dog lover and genuinely cares for the pets in her care. My frenchies came back happier than when I left them, and this is how I know they had a great time at Cie’s.”

We feel so happy to have found Saewon and her family! We have a 17-year-old senior dog who is blind and needs extra care and attention. They were able to administer her eye medications and keep up with all of her daily needs with so much care. This was my first time leaving my pet with a sitter for day care and overnight for multiple days, so I was understandably nervous. Saewon and her family were incredibly kind, loving, gentle, and attentive. They were able to care for her closely and were home throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. I’m so glad we found such a reliable and caring family to look after her. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in their care. We highly recommend Saewon and would definitely book with her again! 🥰🐶
Emely was amazing. We have booked her a couple of times now and have had a very reassuring experience in leaving our pup in her careful and meticulous care. She is detailed and sends pictures and updates throughout the day. Our pup had a great time and actually was sad when she had to leave Emely’s home. I would book her every time without hesitation!
What an absolute blessing. From the very first contact, our meet and greet, and Fiona’s first stay over, the experience has been top-notch and the love felt for the fur babies is off the charts. I am truly grateful we found you and will most definitely be using you when we travel and are not able to take Fiona with us I highly highly highly recommend her services.
Zhenni was a wonderful sitter for Tucker! She was professional, kind and really enjoyed taking great care of my good boy overnight! She was very responsive to my text messages and provided many interesting photos! I highly recommend Zhenni and will be booking her again as the need arises!
Wonderful and Caring Pet Sitter! Elmira was wonderful with our dog! She was very caring and attentive, followed the feeding schedule, took our pet on walks, and spent time playing and giving lots of attention. She also sent us plenty of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciated her care and would definitely recommend her and book with her again!
We’ve been using Rover over the past five years, and fortunate to have met Gina as she is one of the best sitters around. My dog, who is very timid, was very comfortable around her family, including their own dog, Daisy. Gave me peace of mind which allowed me to enjoy my own vacation, which is all one can ask.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lake Forest on Rover is $49.55 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,997 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.
