Dog Haven! East Lake Forest.
Pet care experience
Limitations on boarding services: Companion "type" dogs only accepted. (No hounds, hunting/herding/guarding campers accepted; I love them ALL but the little dogs don't. Spayed and neutered, vaccinated and well socialized campers will just love joining others in a dog friendly home! Covered by 3rd party Pet Care Insurance; Covid vaccinated; I am retired and was employed as a licensed clinical social worker manager in municipality (police), hospital and educational settings. I am an animal lover with decades of experience with dogs, cats and a loving pet owner for over 50 years. HOUSE DESCRIPTION: Minimal stairs and a ramp to the outdoor padlocked large yard (complete with motion light sensors), and separate indoor napping/sleeping/feeding areas meet individual needs. "Sibling" or multiple family dogs are very welcome, as are healthy functioning elderly dear hearts. I offer extended stays, and some dogs have wintered with me for years! Medical needs for visitors: I have experience with oral/vision/injectable medications. I pride myself on keeping meds schedules on time!
Reviews
Patricia was absolutely amazing. We have a very shy dog and she took the best care of him. We didn't worry about him for a minute. I would highly recommend Patricia if you are in need of a dog sitter. She is the best!
I highly recommend Patricia to take care of your dog. She did so well with my baby that his behavior actually improved especially when it comes to socializing with other dogs. I’m glad I found her on Rover and will definitely be a repeat client. Thank you again Patricia!
Pat is wonderful! She makes safety and health a priority, which is so reassuring. She also loves and cuddles her “campers” as if they were her own. The best.
I wish there were more than 5 stars available. Patricia is the very best of the best! It's the first time I left Harpo with a light, easy heart. The videos, pictures, comments she left daily were a joy. When I picked him up, he was both happy to see me and happy to bring Patricia home with us (he stood behind her as if to herd her into the car). Apparently, she took care of another dog for me years ago, and not travelling for a while, I had forgotten about her. She is a gem! I recommend her with a full and grateful heart.
