Carmels Canine Club

Carmels Canine Club is a small, cage-free, in-home dog boarding service at 5615 Tchoupitoulas Street in New Orleans. Dogs stay in the host's home rather than in kennel runs, and only two guests are hosted at a time. For owners who want dog boarding in New Orleans that feels more like a house sit than a facility, that small scale is the main draw.

What does a stay look like?

The setup is built around a relaxed home routine. Dogs are never crated, they get plentiful walks each day, and there's a fenced yard for time outside. The host works from home most of the day, so guests aren't left alone for long stretches. The club describes its goal as a calm, low-stress "home away from home."

• Cage-free boarding in a private home

Which dogs are a good fit?

Carmels Canine Club accepts small, medium, large, and giant dogs, from teacup breeds up to the biggest breeds. Medication can be given during the stay, and the club lists special needs pets among the dogs it serves. Owners of dogs with specific routines or health needs should spell those out when they first reach out.
