Availability

I board dogs professionally out of my home. During the day, I run playgroups in the yard. I split up groups into different age/activity levels and rotate playtime accordingly. Seniors won't be bothered with energetic puppies and vice versa. Everyone gets ample playtime, treats, meals and necessary nap time.

A typical day

A typical day would involve playtime with like-minded pooches to tap some energy. I have an array of Kongs and puzzle toys here for every learning level. Lunch and dinner are served privately in their own kennel. Nap time for seniors and lower energy breeds. At night, your dog will have their own private XL indoor stationary kennel fully equipped with soft bedding, toys and chews (if allowed).

A Fun Farm Vacay For Your Pooch!

Pet care experience

Hey y'all! I'm Holly. I left the hustle & bustle of the city about 15 years ago and traded it in for that farm life so my dogs and I could have more space and privacy. My home is on a securely fenced acre and dogs are life here! I'm the Program Director of a New Orleans-based dog rescue specializing in high medical needs dogs that often get overlooked in shelters. Administering shots, meds, fluids etc. is a cinch here. I have several top notch veterinarians on speed dial should any emergencies arise. I can handle baths, lite grooming and specialty diets with ease. I have EXTENSIVE experience with all dog breeds and personalities from feral strays to tea cup Poodles. Basic obedience training packages available!

Otis had a great time with Holly! We already had a family vacation planned when we adopted Otis, and since he was just settling in with us we wanted to have him stay in a home rather than a traditional boarding facility. Holly gave us honest feedback on how he did with her and sent pictures and videos so that we could see he was enjoying himself while we were gone.

Holly was great with our nervous terrier. She sent photos and updates daily. Our pup came home happy and healthy! We will definitely book with her again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
