BOUTIQUE FARMHOUSE BOARDING!
Hey y’all, I’m Holly! I’m a full-time dog sitter, boarding host, and obedience trainer living the farm life just outside the city. About 15 years ago, I traded the hustle and bustle for more space, privacy, and a dog-centered lifestyle—and now my partner Isaac and I have built our home around exactly that. We offer boarding and daytime playgroups in a secure, home-based setting with the amenities you’d expect from a large boarding facility, but with the comfort, attention, and personal care of a private home. Our farmhouse sits on a securely fenced acre, giving dogs room to safely play, explore, decompress, and enjoy their stay. Dogs are truly life here. In addition to boarding and training, I serve as the Program Director of a New Orleans-based dog rescue specializing in high-medical-need dogs. Because of that, I’m very comfortable administering medications, injections, fluids, specialty diets, and handling dogs who need extra patience or experience. I also have trusted veterinarians on speed dial should anything urgent ever come up. I have extensive experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from feral strays and high-drive working breeds to seniors, puppies, tiny Poodles, nervous dogs, and everything in between. Baths, light grooming, crate routines, structured play, and special care instructions are all no problem. Basic obedience training packages are also available for dogs who could use a little extra polish during their stay. You're welcome and encouraged to take a look at our reviews - we pride ourselves on giving stellar care! If you’re looking for a safe, experienced, dog-savvy home where your pup will be treated like one of our own, we’d love to welcome them!

Ratings and reviews
Absolutely a wonderful experience with Holly taking care of our dogs while we were away for a week. Our dogs loved staying at Holly's. One of our dogs takes awhile to warm up with new people. He did so well with her he acted like he was at home. We will definitely use Holly again.
Holly was absolutely fantastic. I felt incredibly comfortable leaving my pup with her. This was the first time I used Rover and the first time my dog had been away from home for any extended period of time. Holly was extremely professional and kept me updated every day on how she was doing. I will definitely be using Holly again.
Holly and her crew were great! Hazel came home happy and tired. Will definitely use again.
I was seeking a dog sitter that could handle my female pit that needed more specific attention than your normal boarding facilities. Holly was an angel sent to us! She was so incredibly welcoming and treated my dog as her own. I actually had concerns that my baby wouldn’t want to come home with me. Lol. If u have sweet babies that need special care and training, please don’t hesitate to meet with her.
Holly was wonderful with my fur baby. She took excellent care of him. I received pictures and videos daily. I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to board their dog. I will definitely use her again.
I had a wonderful experience! Her place was amazing, and I truly think my dog enjoyed her stay. She was kind, professional, and kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Communication was excellent, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring place to leave their pet!

Schedule
I board dogs professionally from my home, so caring for them is part of my everyday routine — not something I squeeze in around another job. During the day, I run supervised playgroups in our secure yard and rotate dogs based on size, age, energy level, and personality. High-energy dogs get room to play, seniors get a calmer pace, and shy or sensitive dogs are given time to settle in comfortably. Everyone receives structured playtime, potty breaks, meals, treats, rest time, and plenty of individual attention throughout the day.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our farmhouse sits on 3.5 securely fenced acres, tucked away from busy streets and set up with dogs in mind. This is a dog-centered home with plenty of space, toys, enrichment, and safe areas for both play and rest. Dogs are always supervised and thoughtfully matched with appropriate playmates. I take introductions, group dynamics, feeding routines, medications, and individual needs seriously so every dog can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for during their stay.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day includes supervised outdoor play, potty breaks, enrichment toys, treats, meals, naps, and plenty of downtime between activities. Dogs who enjoy social time can join compatible playgroups, while seniors, smaller dogs, or lower-energy pups can enjoy a quieter routine. Meals are served privately in each dog’s own space, and overnight guests sleep in their own XL indoor kennel with soft bedding, toys, and approved chews. I also keep Kongs, puzzle toys, and other enrichment options on hand to help keep dogs mentally engaged and happy. You'll receive daily photos and videos of your best friends enjoying themselves here!

- Please let me know about your dog’s daily routine, temperament, medical needs, food sensitivities, crate habits, leash manners, play style, and any behaviors or quirks I should be aware of. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make their stay safe, smooth, and comfortable. I’m happy to accommodate most reasonable requests, including medication schedules, special diets, senior care, shy dogs, and dogs who need a little extra structure or patience.
