Dog Boarding Ponchatoula

“Chloe looked like she had so much fun! She was definitely well cared for, and had lots of play time with Raven and Rachel's children. I would definitely recommend.”

Rock H.

“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.”

“Marisa was great! She was extremely accommodating, always trying to help make things easier for us for drop off and pick up. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and my pup definitely had fun because he has been sleeping all day. A sure sign of a good time for a one year old lab! =) it was awesome to know that he was having fun while we were away.”

Taylor A.

“Kristin is amazing! My boys love her and are always excited to see her. She is so accommodating and does anything she can to make us easier on you! Her communication is great. When I leave with my boys with her, I don’t ever have to worry. I highly recommend !”

“Tango loved his stay and had so much fun. Nolvia took great care of him—she is amazing and provides daily updates, including pictures. Tango also made a new friend with her dog, Marisol. We will definitely be booking again. 😊”

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!

“This was my first time booking on Rover and I’m glad I had such a great experience booking with Aja! She was communicative through the whole process and shared plenty of updates while she had Beethoven! I would highly recommend! Thank you so much :)”

About: I enjoy watching the dogs play and enjoy spending time with them, I have had multiple cats & dogs at home on multiple occasions including holidays. I’m a retired and stay home a lot and enjoy helping others out with their fur babies.Love to be able to cuddle with all fur babies. I have a room for cats and I have an area for dogs to play in the yard , they can run around the house as much as they like .

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. My dream has always been to open a rescue of my own one day! I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, from Yorkies to Dobermans. I’ve owned my GSP who stays at my moms house, since she was a puppy and house-trained her myself, so I’m experienced with the patience, consistency, and care that puppies require. I also help care for my mom’s 12-year-old dog, which has given me experience caring for older dogs as well. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I truly treat every pet like family. I am currently in college and not working so i have plenty of time to care for your pups! I am available Mondays and Wednesdays after 10:45 and Tuesdays and Thursdays after 2:15! My weekends are clear! I am very responsible and will make sure that your fur baby is loved, fed, has water, and has plenty of exercise and play time! I love all animals and take very good care of my pets and others!

“Sawsan was an amazing dog sitter/boarder for our pup! We were really happy with her being able to take our pup to the dog park nearby every day and interact with other dogs including Sawsan’s own sweet dog. Sawsan not only provides us with constant updates with pictures and videos but also was able to work on a few bad habits our dog still had such as jumping on people. We are very happy with our choice and would love to have Sawsan watch our pup again anytime we go out of town!”

“Tyler was an awesome caretaker for my elderly pup. Kept in constant contact with multiple photos and videos and provided a safe and calm environment for my dog. You can tell he genuinely enjoys dogs. Hope to use again soon.”

About: I've been a dog and cat mother for most of my life. I've cared for other animals for sometimes weeks at a time with no injuries! You can trust me with your most loved family members and with your home if needed. I can be available as needed by your pet. I am not currently working. I am happy to drive up to 60 miles each way. I would appreciate an additional gas allowance. If I keep your animal in my home, you should know that I have a Rottweiler. She is very friendly and loves other animals, but she's never been exposed to an aggressive animal. I have a cat who does not like other animals, but I will have no problems keeping her separate from your animal. I have a fenced in backyard and I enjoy walking over 10,000 steps a day so your animal has options for exercise with me.

“Savannah was Great with my babies. They did a meet and Greet before actually staying and they loved all on her. Savannah sent pics and kept me updated on how they were doing. My babies were very happy on the pics. I highly recommend Savannah and will be using her again. Thanks again😊”

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.

“I wish there were more than 5 stars to give this young lady. She constantly sent pictures and let me know what they were up to and how she was doing. She spoiled Fergie and was so sweet to her and she came back refreshed and clean. Thanks so much for an amazing experience. I highly recommend boarding with her.”

About: Use promo code: kathyp02125 For $20 off your first booking. Hi, I'm Kathy and a passionate dog lover with over 16+ years of experience. I treat every pup like royalty as an extension of my family. Whether you are traveling for the weekend or just want your dog to get some exercise, I'm here to help and give complete peace of mind. My dog has passed and I miss having a dog in the house. Choose me if you like having your pups filled with cuddles and extra belly rubs. I am currently working part time Monday to Wednesday 7am-Noon. On Monday- Wednesday I will be available from 12:15pm until night. On Thursday - Sunday I will be Available all day. I have a fenced backyard. There are no children and no other pets living in the house. I would like if you will let me know if your pets like to be have walks and please provide leash.

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.

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

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.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and would love to hang out with yours! I look forward to games of fetch and walks with your dogs and I know my two dogs (Rosie and Horus) will be thrilled to have new friends. I am a teacher and off for the summer. I have nothing but time to spend with your animals and hope to have the opportunity to meet them! I have a fenced in yard and two dogs. I take them for daily walks and love to let them roam a dog park. I keep them well fed and watered and make sure they feel loved.
