Dog Boarding Montpelier

“Aja and her family were lovely, and did a great job looking after my girl. She sent lots of photos and updates, which I really appreciate. Would definitely book again and recommend her to anyone!”

“My 2 poodles had a stay for the weekend, I was nervous since this was their first stay but Rachel assured me everything will be fine and it definitely was! One of my dogs got a small injury when dropping off and she was quick to jump into action and take care of it!! She kept me updated with daily pictures throughout their stay. My babies have a new best friend with Raven and can’t wait to go back!! I highly recommend her and her services & will be using her for future stays!!”

“Carol was absolutely AMAZING!! This was the first time I have ever left my dog with anyone but family, and she was perfect! She sent me many pictures & updates on how Macy was doing, and I felt 100% comfortable with her taking care of my baby!! Highly recommend & I look forward to using her again soon! Thanks again Carol!!!”

Melissa L.

“I am so grateful for this sitter! I needed to book a last-minute sitter for an event, and she replied super fast. She was incredibly nice and accommodating with Payton. Drop-off and pick-up were both a breeze, and she even sent me a picture of Payton during the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend her and will definitely book again!”

“She was wonderful! This was my first time using the app and first time leaving my puppy with someone other than family. She answered all my questions and kept me updated every day. I will definitely use her again!”

Kelli L.

“What a fantastic family!!! I am so grateful we found Brittnee to care for our babies at the last minute. They were so well taken care of and I can’t thank her enough ❤️ It made our trip so relaxed knowing my babies were having a great time themselves. Thank you!!!!”

“Darcy took such great care of our 110 pound St Bernard mix. She sent pictures and updates frequently, she offered to bathe him, and he was happy when we came to pick him up. I accidentally mixed up which date we would return and she was flexible and able to keep him an extra night. I absolutely recommend Darcy and would rebook with her.”

Carli B.

“Absolutely love Janelle! She stepped in and helped us out even tho Theo wasn’t feeling too good and she helped make sure her got his medications on time and was eating well! Theo loves her and knows her home from the moment we pull in!:)”

Sujal P.

“We have been so happy with Tracy and her level of care for our toy poodle. Tracy and her kids treated our dog like she was family. I know our dog felt right at home while we were gone. I received multiple updates and pictures while we were away. We’ve booked with her twice now and will continue to use her for the future.”

Jenn W.

“I can’t say enough about Emily! She watched both of my pups while I was away on vacation and they were sooo loved! She sent lots of pictures and updates. Will definitely be boarding with her in the future.”

Vanessa G.

“Tiffany was great with Willow. Willow really enjoyed it and got to meet new friends. She made herself at home immediately. Definitely will book again in the future.”

Lynsie R.

“Taylor was great with our dog Patches who is sometimes leery of new people. Patches has come home from boarding stressed to the point of being sick before, so much so, that we took him with us on our last two trips. We couldn't find a pet friendly place to stay this time, though, so we decided to give Rover a try. We are so glad we did. When we got him back he was his happy normal self this time around. Taylor took Patches for daily walks, and he got along well with her golden retriever. We will definitely board Patches with Taylor again when we may be unable to find pet friendly accommodations in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m a loving and dependable dog person with plenty of hands-on experience caring for pups with all kinds of personalities and needs. 🐶❤️ I have experience caring for dogs with allergies and special care needs, giving dog baths, and keeping up with hyperactive, high-energy dogs who need lots of attention, playtime, and patience. I’ve also spent plenty of time around Labradors, so I understand just how energetic, loving, and sometimes mischievous they can be! I’m also a proud dog owner myself and currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family and will make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. 🐾 Your pets’ comfort and safety are always my top priority. 💕🐕 I work Monday–Friday from 8 AM–5 PM, but my fiancé is home at times throughout the day and can let the dogs out when needed. We also have two dogs of our own, so we understand how important it is to make sure your pup is comfortable, cared for, and never left without attention for too long. We’ll treat your dog like one of our own and make sure they get the care, love, and potty breaks they need while you’re away! ❤️🐶 We love on the back of family property so there is ample amount of space to run around and play. However we do also have a fenced in yard for the one who like to explore!

“Lisa was absolutely wonderful with Gracie! Gracie warmed up to her and her pups right away. Great communication and sent daily pics, a video, and updates about my girl. Highly recommend as Gracie received lots of love and care! :)”

About: I am a disabled combat veteran!! I have always had dogs! I had 3 but my 17.5 year of Yorke passed away so now I have a husky and a lab! This will give me a reason and what other reason needed than to walk, sit or play with sweet doggies! They make me happy and if I had all the room I would adopt them all and pick them all up in the road! They are absolutely better than humans! They deserve all the amazing things in their little doggy life! I would love to live on your babies too!! I am currently not working full time or part time as I said I am a disabled veteran! Every now and then I have an online job from home but I am still able to attend to the dogs. Im with them in the living room and have a break every hour but most jobs only last 3 hours or so. I will have all the time with your babies! This will add to the other things that give me purpose and a reason! I love sitting outside with them throwing the ball or letting them sunbathe if they want and I also have a fan if they get hot while sunbathing! My babies love to sunbathe but when they had enough they run inside for a treat!! Your babies will be treated as my own! I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly babies!! Even the driveway is gated! They will be very safe in my yard! They can run in my yard, sunbathe, or go for a swim if they like the water!

“Great! Worked with us for a last minute booking and took great care of our girl!”

About: I am an experienced pet sitter who has been actively caring for pets on Rover for the last 2 years. I am local to all of St. Tammany and am available to Mandeville, Covington, Abita Springs, Madisonville, and Ponchatoula. Over the last 20 years, I have cared for many different breeds and ages. I have also fostered animals from the humane society in the past. I am very loving and nurturing and will give the pets all the care they need. I have a lot of availability and am very reliable. If you need me at the last minute, I can most likely be available with no problem. I also work from home so can be with the pets 24/7! I work from home so am available most of the time. I can take many breaks throughout the day to walk and care for pets as needed. I have two friendly ragdoll cats who will keep your fur baby company. I also live in a very safe neighborhood and community. I will always keep an eye on the animal to make sure they are safe and well cared for.

“Shayna thank you so much for taking care of Maxx. Keeping me updated with photos and whereabouts truly left a lasting impression and I felt comfortable leaving my pet with you. I will definitely be a return customer.”

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.
