Pet Boarding in Lake Forest Park

“Hong & Yuchen were really friendly and attentive. They give daily updates on Pixel. Pixel looks really happy and calm during the 3 weeks we board him. We really recommend Hong & Yuchen for your boarding needs!”

“Best rover ever! From really caring about Lola to making home made treats, having a bed and cooling blanket for her! The amount of pictures I got and the face on my dog were priceless ( was worried my dog would want to stay with her when I came to pick up!! ) I honestly couldn’t ask for a better rover sitter and she even sent her home with a toy she really like on her stay. I will continue to make this my first call when needed a sitter !”

“Caitie is an excellent sitter! She took our dog on some serious hikes and sent us lots of updates and pictures throughout our trip. Our dog came home happy and tired! We will definitely book with her again.”

“Yer is wonderful! She took great care of Falafel for a night this past weekend. Yer is very caring and gentle, and although Falafel is a nervous little guy, he eventually got comfortable and made himself right at home with her. Thank you Yer!”

About: As a pet owner I know the pain of trying to find someone who will care for your beloved pet the way you would while away. I know how hard it can be to find care for pets with regular exercise needs. I am not a professional kennel or dog training. I am a dog mom who will love your pets like they are my own and ensure they have all their needs taken care of while they are in my home. I’ve been around pets for most of my life. My family had pets growing up, and as an adult I’ve pet sit for family and friends for over 20 years. I finally became a pet parent myself in 2022 to a mixed breed cattle dog named Teddy Bear. It was love at first sight, despite our rough start due to issues from him being labeled as a lab mix. I’ve learned from experience that breed matters when it comes to ensuring your dog’s physical as well as emotional needs are properly met. We delt with behavior issues, as well as anxiety, and food issues as Teddy moved through his “teens”. I hired a private trainer only weeks after adopting Teddy, and to this day we still participate in a variety of group training classes through most of the year. Teddy is excellent at Nose work/Scent work and loves the mental stimulation. These training lessons have taught me a lot about patience when working with dogs as well as how to work with dogs on their own level and through their style of communication. Teddy passed the Canine Good Citizen Test at only 9 months old! My motto is you are always training. I use the skills learned in the years of lessons whenever I am around dogs and it’s made me quite popular at the dog parks. My dog goes to hunt bunnies, and I go to pet all the dogs that seem naturally to be drawn to me. I only accept the dogs from 1 home at a time. Your pets will be a part of my family as long as they are under my roof. My life revolves around my dog. Teddy is a fairly high energy dog and this means lots of physical and mental stimulation is required. So we walk everyday rain, shine, or even snow! Unless the weather isn’t safe to be outside, we walk. If your dog isn’t as high energy, that is ok. We typically go places your dog can rest and enjoy the smells while Teddy gets his energy out. I have a hybrid work schedule and generally am in the office Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 12-5pm. My schedule is flexible though so if I know I have to be gone in the evening, I change up my days in the office so I can be home with my dog during the day. I feed the dogs 2x per day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. I have a large fully fenced backyard, and a dog door so the pups can freely roam between inside and out. It’s a bit of a dogs paradise with lots of birds and squirrels roaming about for them to keep tabs on. I do have a medium-large sized crate for dogs that need to be crated. And feed everyone in separate spaces. The couch under my living room window is now permanently the “dogs couch”. Teddy is very good at sharing his toys and beds. There is an overabundance of dog beds throughout my house. My house used to be clean, but then I got a dog. The house now belongs to Teddy and I just live here among his beds and toys. Teddy is great with dogs of all sizes and most temperaments. I describe him as aloof but friendly. He can be playful in spirts if other dogs initiate, and while he loves being around other dogs, is very independent. The only exceptions to his easy-going persona are aggressive dogs, or dogs that have a higher than usual tendency to resource guard. For this reason I cannot except non neutered males as pretty much every instance of aggression we have come across was with a non neutered male. Regardless of size. My neighbors on 2 sides do have dogs as well. So your dogs would meet them through the fence. We have 4 legged friends over on a regular basis, and the neighbor dogs generally love greeting the new friends so long as they are not aggressive. I do allow dogs on my bed as long as I'm not sleeping. My experience has been dogs tend to lay exactly where my legs need to be. So, I usually kick them off just before turning off the lights to allow myself use of my own bed. But if your dog is happy to stay on the other side of the bed without trying to take over my side, they can stay.

“Our dog Rosie had a great stay with Lindsay and family. We could tell from daily photos that Rosie felt comfortable and was enjoying her time there. We will definitely come back!”

“This was the best experience I ever had with a pup sitter. I was away for almost 11 days and she kept me updated every day even with an 11 hour difference between us, she never missed a day with videos and pictures. One of my babies is a special dog and takes meds four times a day and she would send me pictures and updates about it.i didn’t feel an once of stress being away from them because of her. She went above and beyond to make them comfortable and took them on strolls and fun little outings. Her and her family all made my babies feel very loved. I could not recommend her enough!”

About: WFH Full-Time 🏡 Huge Fenced Yard 🐾 15+ Years of Loving Care. Hi! I’m Ailyn! I work from home full-time and have a fully fenced backyard, which means your pup will have constant supervision, bathroom breaks on demand, and plenty of outdoor playtime. Dogs have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have cared for dogs full-time for over 15 years, and at one point, I happily managed my own pack of three. Sadly, my last beloved dog passed away recently. Our home feels far too quiet now, and we truly miss the joy, energy, and companionship that only a dog can bring. Working from home gives me the perfect opportunity to open our doors and welcome some wonderful extra company. When you leave your dog with me, they become part of the family. My daughter also absolutely adores dogs and looks forward to showering your pup with love and playtime the moment she gets home from school. Whether your dog prefers lounging by my desk while I work or fetching toys in the yard, they will receive endless attention and a safe, loving environment. Why My Home is Perfect for Your Pup Always Home: I work remotely, ensuring your dog is never left lonely or unattended. Secured Play Space: A fully fenced, secure backyard perfect for safe zoomies. Lifetime Experience: 15+ years of full-time dog ownership and pack management. Double the Love: A dedicated adult caregiver during the day and an eager helper for evening playtime. I am working from home full time and can tend to your pup all day in our fully fenced home, available to meet and greet evenings after 4:30pm and weekends. I have a fully fenced back yard, I can crate your dog, I can continue your training schedule, walk schedule and am happy to play with your dog several times a day.

“Isabella and Gui were the best hosts! Bobo truly had his own vacation in form of dog parks and couch snuggles. Your pup would be lucky to be cared by them!”

“Our dog absolutely loves staying with Virginie and we are so grateful we found Virginie on Rover. We plan to always book with her. As an employee of Rover, I feel lucky to have such great experiences with the service.”

“Ziyan took such great care of our Sadie while we were away! She made sure that Sadie was comfortable with her dog prior to the stay and sent daily updates and pictures, even taking her on hikes and runs. We truly felt like she treated Sadie like a member of her family and would love to have her watch Sadie again!”

“Wendie is wonderful! I inherited my parent's dog when their health was taking a turn, and the dog wasn't socialized or trained well. Wendie worked with Baby and he is learning better habits. I look forward to having her look after him again next week!”

“Shauna and Tim just watched our fur baby, Kal, and they were absolutely amazing! After having a bad boarding experience with another sitter we were a bit anxious about leaving Kal with anyone, but Shauna and Tim totally eased our worries! We did a meet and greet before booking boarding and it was so clear that they are great with dogs and made Kal feel comfortable right away. When we came back to drop Kal off for boarding he ran up to their house with his tail wagging a million miles a minute and immediately melted into Shauna’s arms. Throughout the whole process they were super communicative and they sent tons of photos and updates during Kal’s stay. Thank you both so much!”
