About: My husband and I have been dog people since we were both just kids, and we’ve never been long without a dog in our home. We have experience in watching family member’s pets throughout the years. We believe that the happiest pups have room to roam and bound around, and that’s just one reason we recently moved to a large fenced in lot in Floyds Knobs. Our dog, high-energy Beagador Albus, would love to keep your pet entertained with romps around the yard. All pups have access to the great outdoors with a large dog door in our home. We will keep you informed with updates and pictures of your fur baby! Don’t wait, book your pet’s stay at Bound Away Yard Play and Stay! My husband owns his own business and has flexible hours to work from home or the office. We are usually available to sit on the weekends and some weekdays. We have a fenced in large yard with tons of room for playtime. We can also crate your pup if they are in need of their own private space. Our large dog door will give your dog the ability to access the indoors and outdoors when he or she needs.
About: Hi! I’m Gianna — a lifelong animal lover with a dream of becoming a veterinarian. I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, so I’m confident with everything from playful puppies to senior sweethearts. I offer flexible availability, including walks, drop-ins, overnights, and plenty of cuddle time. Whether your pup needs exercise, company, or just a loving presence while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. Animals are my passion, and your pet’s comfort and safety always come first! I’m currently a flight attendant but I usually only do day trips so I’m always available after or before work. I know my schedule a head of time so that will never be an issue. I’ve grown up always having dogs and cats but since moving out I don’t have any. So I currently don’t have any animals as of now.
“Penny and the whole family are super sweet and perfect to watch your dog my dog Sherman warmed up very quickly and even slept with her teenage son. Definitely will use them again because I have busy work weeks at times. Sherman is a bit much sometimes when he sees other dogs a bit reactive but Penny kept an eye on him and never went out without his leash and collar and made sure all dogs weren't out. He had a blast came home and ran around like a puppy again. Will definitely be using her again.”
“I only wish I could give ten stars. Gabriel and Ashley were great, they took care of my baby like she was their own. I am very much the overprotective, worring dog mom ( if I could wrap her in bubble wrap I would) so to let her go to a stranger was hard, but I have absolutely no regrets leaving her with this wonderful couple. She was entertained and loved on, she had new experiences meeting horses and being on a ranch, oh how I envy her experience. I am very grateful to them for being such good sitters and will definitely be using them again. Thank you guys for taking care of my girl.”
About: With 10+ years of experience, I provide dependable, compassionate care for dogs, cats, reptiles, and more, treating every pet like my own and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Every morning starts with checking on my reptiles’ temps and feeding schedule, followed by caring for my two cats, cleaning, feeding, and spending quality time with them. I give each pet personalized attention, feeding on schedule, fresh water, clean spaces, playtime, and affection. I follow all instructions carefully to match their routine and comfort.
“This is my first time getting a sitter for my dog, and let me tell you I am so glad I went with Shelby! She is super sweet and genuinely cares for your pet. If I need a sitter again, she will be my choice again!”
“Tayla was so kind to take Gus with only a days notice. She was so calm about taking a high energy dog and has a great set up at her house allowing for plenty of outdoor time. She sent pictures everyday and assured us that Gus was doing well.”
“Ruth is amazing with our mini goldendoodle!! She is very patient and caring with our timid and shy dog. I enjoyed getting updates, pictures and videos and felt very comfortable leaving Jasper with Ruth. We were out of town for a week and I know my dog was loved and well cared for! I highly recommend!!”

Gianna P.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Gianna P. as a caregiver. She has provided safe, loving, and reliable care for my large dog during long workdays and frequent travel. Gianna is attentive, responsible, and incredibly warm—qualities that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She consistently went above and beyond, ensuring my dog felt comfortable, exercised, and cared for. Her thoughtful communication and natural ability to connect make her a standout not just as a pet caregiver, but as a person. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
