Dog Boarding in Forest Lake

Loving. Attentive. Considerate. Brandi provided the best environment for my 6 year old female Weimaraner, Uma. This was Uma's longest stretch (8 nights) spent away from me. However, Brandi stayed connected with me the entire time. She provided me assurance through photos, videos and text messages to help set my mind at ease. Even when Uma managed to "break out" of her kennel and raided the pantry for treats, Brandi handled it well, with a professionally calm approach. The bottom line is, I knew my dog was loved and cared for with Brandi. I highly recommend Brandi for any dog owner who loves their pet and needs the best care and attention payed to them while you're away.

Lila was happy to go into their house and looked like she was having fun in all the pictures they sent. They are responsive and professional and i would use them again.

Michael & Casey exceeded all expectations. Nice people that understand dogs, enjoy incoming visitors and treat them as their own. I could not have asked for more. We will not hesitate to ask to visit with them again. Thank You.

Charmaine was great! She has a great space for pups. She is very easy-going and took real good care of my dog, Cora. She came home very tired, too… always a plus!

Marion is a kind person. She helped us navigate the area and even offered extra help when we got a flat tire. Mica, our dog, was well cared for and I felt very happy she was in safe hands.

Shelia was amazing with our foster pup we needed a last minute sitter for. She communicated with us sending pictures and updates the entire trip and was very good and patient with our crazy Malinois pup. Very nice yard for him to play in and her home was well equipped to care for him. 100% recommend Sheila for anyone looking for a sitter.

I recently left my older dog, Odie, with Heather for ten days to take a family vacation to Kauai that has been planned for the last year. I was so worried about leaving Odie because he has a grade VI heart murmur and an enlarged heart. He is on four oral meds a day, some of them being given three times daily. This is no easy task, as we have to find something to hide the medication in that Odie will eat. With his illness, he often doesn't have much appetite, and he can be picky about what he eats. I also informed Heather that Odie could go into heart failure at any time, and he can also be restless at night. None of this scared her away. I actually cried most of the day before leaving him, as I was worried that he'd pass away before I returned. Heather reassured me, and she was really good about sending me photos and texting me back when I asked how he was doing. During Odie's first day or two there, he was a bit depressed, but quickly became comfortable with Heather and the other dogs. I could tell this just by the photos she sent, especially the one where he was lying on his back in the dog bed with all four feet in the air. I can't reiterate enough how much this helped keep my mind at ease, which in turn made for a more relaxed and enjoyable vacation. I would not hesitate to use Heather in the future, and I will recommend her to anyone I know who is in need of a dog sitter.

Leslie was wonderful with our dogs! We had plans to leave the country for 10 days and were feeling nervous about where to leave our dogs. One dog is 13 years old and the other is a very nervous-minded pup who we adopted from the shelter. We came across Leslie’s listing and decided it would be worth the 1 1/2 hour drive to have her look after them based on her reviews. We knew a traditional boarding facility would not be cautious enough with our senior dog and would be stressful for our shelter dog. We were not disappointed with our decision. With daily updates and photos, we knew for the duration of our trip that they were in good hands. The photos helped to ensure that we made the right decision, as our dogs looked comfortable and relaxed. Leslie took them on daily walks and even helped with some dog training. Our bigger dog is very skiddish and Leslie got her comfortable with other people and other dogs! Overall, she was wonderful and not being worried about our dogs while out of the country is priceless!

Melissa is the best!! This is the second time that Pooty has stayed with her and she really creates a safe and calm environment for Pooty. Thank you so much!! I would highly recommend her!!

Merril was a wonderful sitter, she spoiled Gorda more than we do and was on top of every little detail. I would recommend her with my eyes closed and definetely would use her services again.

I had a great experience booking with Regina! I was gone for over two weeks and needed someone I could trust to keep my dog safe and happy while I was away. Regina clearly loves what she does and I've never seen my dog so happy to stay somewhere without me! She sent regular updates and pictures, which put my mind at ease. If you're looking for someone dependable and professional, I'd highly recommend booking with Regina.

Katy was wonderful! she had my pups for a few days, and gave them love like they were her own - definitely going to be my go-to for the future! thanks again! ?

Larissa is a beautiful person who provides a safe, fun and loving environment for your pet. Sammy has separation anxiety and isn’t around other dogs often but Larissa displayed a lot of patience and reassurance when it came to his care. I appreciate her for being transparent, sharing cute photos and accommodating me at a short notice. Sammy and I look forward to seeing her next time.
