Dog Boarding Audubon

“Abogail was absolutely superb! I always get nervous leaving my pups and after meeting her, I didn’t have a worry in the world! She and her kiddos took such great care of my dogs - they had the best time 🩷 cannot recommend her enough!”

Kate D.

“10/10 would recommend! Victoria took care of a new dog of ours on short notice, twice. I received many pictures and updates. I have full confidence my pup was treated as one of her own! Also, her dogs played well with her and I received many pictures of them all snuggled up.”

“Regan was absolutely amazing with Archer. He is a senior Dachshund and can be a little unsure in new places, but she went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable and cared for during his very first overnight stay. She was patient, gentile and very attentive to his needs. It’s such a relief to find someone who understands and loves older pups. I’m grateful for the peace of mind she gave me and all the pictures she sent during his stay.”

About: I'm a caring, dependable dog lover who enjoys giving pups plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles! I'm happy to help with boarding and doggie day-care while keeping your pet comfortable and happy. I have experience with caring for large groups of dogs, including puppies and seniors. I am able to administer medication, provide basic bathing, keep up with daily routines, and provide a safe space for your pet. I'll treat your pup like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and are well cared for while you're away! I'm currently seeking work from home and have ample time to tend to your pet. My weekly outings include grocery store runs and dog walks. I keep a tidy home, have a fenced in yard, designated area for feeding (and treats 😁), and plenty of space for play time and activities.

“Gizzmo enjoy her time with Courtney! This was our first time using Rover, Courtney really reassured me that Gizzmo would be OK and well taken care of. I did appreciate the text message updates and pictures of Gizzmo while our family was on vacation. We will definitely use Courtney again!”

About: Need a reliable pet sitter? I’m your girl. I have been working in the animal field for the past 11 years. I’ve worked everything from shelter, boarding facility and now currently at a specialty hospital for the past 7 years, 5 of those years working as a tech in the surgery department. I have seen it all and very comfortable around all type of dogs. From the shy to the goofball I can handle them all. In the home lives 2 rescue pitties, a cat, and 3 kids. While you enjoy your time away your baby will be able to enjoy cuddling on the couch watching tv or running outside in my fenced yard with my 2 goofballs. My goal is to make sure your baby is well taken care of and comfy so you have one less thing to worry about while you’re away. I currently work full time at the hospital. I have plenty of time in the mornings and after work to care for your pets needs. I have a fenced in back yard and 2 dogs to keep your fur baby company! I accommodate all stays and visits to what makes you and your pet most comfortable!

“Kelly was fabulous! This was our first time using Rover and Kelly came highly recommended to us. Our 10-year old dog was well taken care of all around, and we enjoyed our vacation time so much more knowing our dog was safe, happy, and comfortable in Kelly’s home. We got photos everyday and Kelly communicated very well. Her home is clean, and because she is a dog owner, she knew how important and special our dog is to us!”

“Tyler is phenomenal! This is the second time he has watched my parent's dog, and the first time he watched my dog. He takes dogs on walks, plays with them, and is always giving you updates via text. The dogs came home very happy and you can tell they were taken care of. Highly recommended and will absolutely call him again in the future.”

Muriel T.

“Bailey loved Charles as soon as we arrived! He sent me pics and video and let me know how Bailey was adjusting to a new location. Great experience!”

“Cierra was awesome - very quick to respond to the request for booking, even though it was very "last minute". She was very friendly and professional and obviously took very good care of our dog while we were away. Cierra kept us updated frequently on our dog throughout the weekend with texts and photos. She was also very flexible with the scheduling. Overall, we HIGHLY recommend Cierra D. and will be calling on her again in the future!!”

About: Pets (and working animals) have always been in my life. Currently I do have dogs of my own and always have. Moved to the city and sure do miss my goats, chickens and most of all my potbellies that couldn't come 😭 My father was an animal scientist and I've been around animals of all sorts since the day I was born. I'm a stay at home mom with my youngest at 11 years old. My entire day is free! If I'm not caring or playing with a four legged friend or two webbed feet I'm not having fun! Safety for your pet is most important. Playtime would be wherever you request whether it be your own backyard, walked on a leash, dog park or inside playtime. Your pet will be treated with the utmost care with lots of fun with the safety of him/her always in mind.

About: I’m a friendly, dependable pet owner who understands just how much pets mean to their people. I am the primary caretaker of my own dog, Freddy, he’s 3 years old with lots of energy, friendly with other dogs and loves people. I regularly care for my sisters dog and 2 cats while she is out of town, maintaining their normal routines and care. I live in a condo in Mandeville which means I have become extremely familiar with the dog parks, walking trails, dog friendly nature areas and state parks. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, I treat every animal as if they are my own while providing photo and text updates so you can feel confident while you’re away!😊 Currently I am the office manager for a primary care clinic in Covington, M-F I am available before work, on my lunch break, and after work for drop ins or dog walking. My weekends are always changing and very flexible. I like caring for pets in their own home because that is where they feel most comfortable, following their normal routine and offering attention and companionship. On walks, I focus on your pets safety, energy level, and making sure they are well hydrated.

“I cannot recommend her enough!!! She took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. Provided a warm and loving environment and had a large yard for our dog to run and play. She sent pictures multiple times a day to show us how much love and attention that Pepper received throughout her stay. She was safe and loved and we will rebook Verdrana for every future trip!”

About: I have been around many different kinds of animals. Family and friends have always been able to rely on me to take care of the animals with my who heart and soul. I work full time now from 8-5 M-F. Weekends I’m available and work close to home. I’m apart of the army national guard so some weekends I will not be available. Within my clients home their animals will be given the best belly rubs and pets I can give. I will do everything with the best of my ability.

About: I am originally from South Africa where I volunteered daily at the shelter near our campus. I have been obsessed with animals since I was a little girl. Whether it is simply watching them, playing, snuggling or going on a walk, it makes my day just as much as I hope it makes theirs. I am extremely patient and kind and will treat your fur baby like my own. I am a reliant and trustworthy person who will make sure to update you at all times. My weekly work schedule looks as follows: Weekdays: 7:30am-2:35pm Weekends: Home all day. I am a complete homebody and once I am home, I do not leave!! When I am taking care of someone’s pet, I give them all the time I can and my utmost attention. I live in a quiet condo near the Mandeville lakefront with a nature reserve nearby that is great for walking dogs who also prefer no disruptions! I am always flexible and ready to adjust to your fur baby’s needs and learn their little quirks and routine. I have a fenced yard where we hang out in the afternoon/evenings and get our fresh air (Only for dogs). Inside, all pets are allowed on the furniture and sleep on the bed! I am also happy to use a crate if you prefer this as well. I have walked dogs since I was 18 and have experience with dogs that pull or have a lot of strength/power. I love to hang out with them, snuggle and watch tv, go on long walk to get our steps in and teaching them tricks or playing fetch. I am very conscious of my surroundings and always keep a close eye on pets. I want you and your pet to feel safe and comfortable with the service and time spent with me. Each pet I take care of, I treat as if they were my own.

“Exceptional experience — couldn’t recommend Tanvi more highly Tanvi took absolutely wonderful care of Mabel. From the moment we connected, it was clear how attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely caring she is. She sent photos and updates unprompted throughout the stay, which gave me total peace of mind and showed just how present she was. Mabel had the best time playing with Tanvi’s golden doodle, Mowgli — the two of them got along beautifully and were clearly having so much fun together. It was obvious Mabel felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. Tanvi treated Mabel like her own, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with her again. If you’re looking for someone who is loving, communicative, and truly attentive, Tanvi is a fantastic choice. Highly, highly recommend.”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood, and I've spent decades caring for them through virtually every stage of life—from energetic puppies learning their first routines to senior dogs who need a slower pace, extra patience and a little more help getting through their day. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of different sizes, breeds, personalities and energy levels, including my own dogs and those of friends and family. I'm comfortable with puppies and the additional supervision, consistency and frequent potty breaks they require, as well as older dogs who may need shorter walks, more rest, mobility accommodations or simply a quieter environment. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical conditions and special needs, including following an owner's established care instructions and medication schedule. I understand that these dogs may require closer observation and that even small changes in behavior, appetite, mobility or energy can be important. I take that responsibility seriously and will always follow the care routine you provide for your dog. I've spent years working with my own dogs on basic obedience and good manners and have helped friends and family with their dogs as well. I'm comfortable reinforcing established commands and routines such as sit, stay, come, wait, leave it and polite household behavior. While I'm not a professional dog trainer, I'm patient and consistent and enjoy reinforcing the good habits owners are already teaching at home. I'm retired and home much of the time, which allows me to provide something that's difficult to replicate in a traditional boarding environment: time, attention and companionship. I intentionally keep my boarding low-volume so that the dogs staying with me receive individual attention rather than becoming one of many animals in a busy facility. And then there's the setting. The Happy Acre — Private Dog Retreat offers approximately one acre of private outdoor space where dogs can run, play and explore, along with a comfortable home environment where they can relax and be part of the household. My goal is simple: when you're away, I want your dog to receive the same kind of attentive, loving care I'd want someone to provide for my own dogs. I'm retired and spend much of my time at home, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. Unlike a sitter who may be away at work for eight or ten hours, I'm generally available throughout the day for outdoor play, potty breaks, feeding, companionship and individual attention. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to adapt to each dog's normal routine as much as possible. I also intentionally limit the number of dogs I accept so that every guest receives plenty of my time and attention. At The Happy Acre — Private Dog Retreat, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable home-away-from-home where every dog receives individual attention and is treated as part of the household. My spacious backyard is fully enclosed by a secure 6-to-8-foot privacy fence, giving dogs plenty of room to run, sniff, explore and play safely. A doggie door provides direct access from the house to the backyard, so my furry guests can go outside for a potty break, stretch their legs or simply enjoy some fresh air whenever they choose. I'm home much of the time and stay nearby to supervise and join in the fun—because playing with dogs is genuinely one of the great joys in my life. I intentionally keep my boarding low-volume so I can closely supervise the dogs in my care and give each one plenty of personal attention. I prefer to meet new dogs beforehand whenever possible to make sure they're comfortable with me, my home and my own dogs before their first overnight stay. Every dog is different, so I follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, medications, sleeping arrangements, exercise and established routines. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level and overall well-being throughout their stay. Nothing is more important to me than their safety, comfort and happiness while they're in my care. Whether your dog wants to spend the day running and playing outside, relaxing indoors, following me around the house or cuddling by my side, I want The Happy Acre to feel less like boarding and more like their own private country retreat. You can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, well cared for—and having a pretty wonderful vacation of their own.
