Hello, my name is Jessica and Welcome to Lake Forest Bark! My partner Brian and I have been pet owners for the last 20+ years. We both love dogs and sharing our home with them. We have hostied dogs through Rover and before that, Dog Vacay for over 15 years. I work from home so dogs are rarely left unattended for more than a few hours at a time. We have about 1/3 acre which is fenced and wooded. Plenty of room to roam and lots of squirrels and birds to chase. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and stay indoors while we are away. We have access to parks and walks are always 'on the house'. We have two resident dogs, Finn, a Pekingese and Marky, an Affenpinscher. Finn is a typical Pekingese, calm, independent, majestic and plays well but and not very active for any length of time. He loves meeting new friends though and is our Lake Forest Bark Ambassador. Marky is a little over two years old and loves to PARTY!! He’s 11 pounds of pure play. He’s never met a dog he doesn’t like and will play with guests for hours. He even gets the shy ones out of their shell. We prefer small to medium breeds but would welcome large dogs provided that they are older or otherwise gentle and calm. I can also pick up and drop off at your home for an added fee. We look forward to caring for your buddy like they were our own. "A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than himself."
