Doggy Day Care in Bardstown

About: Hi there! I’m Kelsey, a lifelong animal lover with a genuine passion for providing thoughtful, reliable care. I share my home with Georgia, my 6-year-old chocolate lab, who’s as smart as she is gentle. I’ve personally trained her to master a variety of tricks and social behaviors, and she’s living proof of how consistency, patience, and love create a happy, well-balanced pet. Our daily walks and routines have given me a deep understanding of what dogs need to feel safe, fulfilled, and cared for. When looking after your pets, I treat them with the same affection and attention I give Georgia, ensuring they’re comfortable, content, and surrounded by kindness while you’re away. I currently work full time helping run our family business. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to work from home and care for your pets on an hourly basis! I have a half fenced in back yard for dogs to play. I take them on daily walks and follow any and all feed, supplements schedules as requested. Each dog will be walked on leash for their safety and the safety of others.

“Julie took such great care of our pup while we were visiting the area for the day. She was very communicative and sent lots of pics and updates about our pup. We would definitely recommend her!”

About: I've had a fur baby in my arms since I was a child. Not only did I raise my own, but I've kept my friends, my co-workers and my son's dogs while they were out of town, for a day, a week and sometimes longer. I cared for my son's senior boy while he worked, and then he brought the newest baby to me everyday she when she was a puppy, so she wasn't home alone and I could potty train her with love. I raised our German shepherd with my sons from the time she and my youngest were both just 8 weeks old. When Libby was almost 18 yo we had to have our vet assist her in crossing the rainbow bridge. From there I got my first tiny dog, a little boy named Dexter, Chihuahua 6.6 lbs, and then shortly after I got Danika, Chihuahua 5.5 lbs. They went everywhere with me, vacations, nail salon, shopping. They had a purse they loved to jump right in and 2 booster seats so they were secured safely in my car. I lost Dexter to heart disease at 14 yo and poor little Danika was lost without him. I adopted Lucylle, Chihuahua 6 lbs, she was 2 yo. She was left at the vet by her previous family, that never came back to get her. She was very aggressive towards everyone in the beginning and it took me 3 months of patience and love to bring her out of it. By that time her and Danika were best friends, and loving companions, of course they went everywhere with me. We lost Danika just few months ago, she was 16 yo. That's when I decided to start my journey with Rover, to bring some added joy into mine and Lucylle's life and give other fur babies a safe and loving place to visit when family were away. I retired 04-2024, Lucylle and I have plenty of time on our hands. I bought a patio home, with a nice fenced back yard, where I sit in the morning or anytime during the day/evening and watch Lucylle go out and do her business or just play. We take walks around the neighborhood or down at the walking trail. My neighbors are also dog lovers, they just love little Lucylle. I have a fenced back yard for them to play in with my girl, and I keep a watchful eye on them when they are outside. I can crate your baby if needed, as I do my own sometimes. I have little beds and/or a blanket for them to snuggle when they are napping. Being retired gives me plenty of time for your fur baby (and mine). Caring, playing and loving them as if they were my own.

About: My first dog was a Golden Retriever, and I was hooked! I wanted a career working with dogs and was a dog groomer at a boarding facility for 20 years, working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personality types. Several of my grooming clients also boarded in my home. Personally, I’ve raised puppies and adopted seniors, so have experience with training and administering medications. I’ve started a second career and now work from home. My office has three dog beds, and my little dog is waiting for a friend to come over! My yard is small, but fenced, and I can take the furry friends out as often as they need to go. If your dog prefers a walk-about, I can accommodate that as well. Please note, due to my insurance I cannot accept Staffordshire terriers, pitbulls, or bully mixes of any kind. In addition, although the Rover weight class is 16-40 pounds, I only accept dogs that are 25 pounds or less. I want your dog to feel at home in my home! I’m happy to send you pictures during the day, or FaceTime you. I can administer meds, and will adhere to their own feeding/walking schedule. Because I work from home, your dog will have constant companionship. I have a ten pound Boston Terrier who loves playing with other dogs, but I’m in a three bedroom house, so there’s plenty of space if anyone needs time apart. My dog stays in my office with me when I’m working, and your dog can too! If your fur baby does not need constant supervision they would be free to roam around the house. I also have two crates if needed. My fenced yard is great for potty breaks, and I can also do leash walks, either with my dog or only yours if preferred.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals all my life. I have vet tech experience, and dog training experience. Animals are a huge passion of mine. Sometimes I like them more than people 😉 I have a completely open schedule. I do work for myself so I can always work around yours and my schedule to give your furry family members the care and attention they deserve. I know how to read the body language of animals. I know how to give medication. I can do anything for your pet that you normally do.

“Rylee took such great care of my dog Knox! He has separation anxiety, but he adjusted quickly in her calm and welcoming home. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She sent regular updates with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. Knox looked relaxed and happy, he clearly felt comfortable with her. I’ll definitely be booking with Rylee again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter on Rover!”

About: My animal experience goes way back to childhood. At the age of 7 I started in 4h, learning about animal husbandry. By the age of 13 I was volunteering at the local riding stables. By high school, I was working at the local animal shelter, volunteering with local rescues and advancing my education in dog training, with hopes of getting into service dogs. At age 19 I started working at a vet clinic This just advanced my love of animals and their care even more! Fast forward to today, and I own my own in home grooming salon ❤️ I have continued to volunteer with the local rescues and shelter every chance I get. 2 years ago I was blessed with the opportunity to become a puppy raiser for a veteran service dog foundation. That was the very best experience i could of asked for! My knowledge of dogs extends into training, grooming and care. I'm knowledgeable with cats and other small animals as well! Coming from a farm and vet background, I have experience with just about every animal including exotics. My personal dogs are all very well socialized with other animals of all kinds. They all have extensive training and are completely safe with others. They know just how to make our new guest feel right at home! All my boarder dogs are treated as family, allowed on beds and furniture and cage free unless otherwise requested. Bath or grooming add ons are always available! All baths/ grooms come complete with a cute Pic! Please feel free to reach out with any questions ❤️ I work from home in my at home grooming salon, so your pet will never be alone. Should I need to leave the house for small errands, there is still someone left at home, or the animal will have a safe enclosed room to themselves. My Backyard is attached to the house and fully enclosed with a large wooden privacy fence. Pets are never left outside unattended and are kept in my view at all times.

“Our little had a great time hanging out with Dailyn's dogs Mia and Coco. We receivedsevetsl pictures and a few videos of them playing during his stay. Leah, her daughter was very sweet and attentive to Coco. And we got a nice gift bag with a framed picture of Coco when we picked him up. He was happy when we got there to pick him up. Coco was well cared for.”

About: I've had pets all of my life, having pets is a blessing. I have 4 cats, Astra, Echo, Nyx, and Stormi. They're my babies! So a little about me, my name is Maggie, I'm 21 years old and I love animals. One day I hope to start a few businesses including a Catfé (cat cafe), a pet store and an animal sanctuary. I also want to start an etsy shop selling homemade items and 5% of my earnings will go to animal charities. A couple of my hobbies are crocheting, learning different languages such as Japanese and sign language, guitar, sewing and video games. I volunteer at an animal rescue in Bardstown called Barktown. I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies! I currently am unemployed and not a student, so caring for your furbabies fits perfectly into my schedule. I do occasionally DoorDash for some extra cash. Your furbabies will have someone to give them love and attention. Depending on the weather depends on how much they'll be outside, and play time is a given. I also know how to give your pets mental simulation, lick mats are amazing for both cats and dogs, unraveling toys with treats is also a great option for simulation if you don't have a lick mat.

“Amazing! Both Koda and Wylie were treated like family. When there was the possibility of thunderstorms, Jennifer asked if either dog had anxiety issues, something I hadn't even thought of. On the second day both dogs ran right to her front door without hesitation. Highly recommend Jennifer!!”
