Dog Boarding Columbus

“Kirsten was amazing! She offered a meet and greet before my dog’s boarding. A very sweet person. And I was able to tell my dog would be in great hands. Awesome communication and I received plenty of updates including pictures and videos. I have an Aussie, and he has a lot of energy and Kirsten matches it perfectly.”

About: About Me Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s something I do professionally. I own a pet-sitting business serving Central Kentucky. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses of different ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable with multi-pet households, senior pets, animals with special routines, and pets who need a little extra patience to become comfortable with someone new. I’m also a lifelong animal owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your pets. I pay attention to the little things—changes in appetite, behavior, bathroom habits, mobility, or anything else that seems unusual—and I believe in keeping owners updated so they can relax while they’re away. What You Can Expect I’m comfortable following detailed feeding and care instructions, maintaining your pet’s normal routine, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, providing playtime and companionship, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. I especially enjoy working with animals who may be shy, particular, anxious, or simply need time to decide that a new person is trustworthy. I don’t expect every pet to immediately love me—I’m happy to earn their trust at their pace. Safety & Communication Your pet’s safety comes first. I follow owner instructions carefully, keep a close eye on the animals in my care, and communicate promptly if I notice anything concerning. You’ll also receive updates so you know how your pets are doing while you’re away. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s hands. My goal is for you to come home to happy animals who have been well cared for and whose normal routine has been disrupted as little as possible. Whether you have one spoiled house cat, an energetic dog, a senior who likes to take things slowly, or a whole household of four-legged family members, I’d be happy to care for them. Although I work as a substitute teacher, there are many days I am home part or all of the day. While I have a generic routine, I like to know the pets usual routine so I can cater to that as much as is possible. I have a small fenced yard, but most importantly, my apartment is set up with pet safety in mind. I have gates and latches to prevent accidental runners, my cat has her own space to keep away from other animals, I have the space and ability to separate dogs if needed. Ultimately I treat them like my own. They are welcome in my bed, have free run of the common areas, have lots of toys... I am always up for snuggles and fun!

“Erin as very accommodating. Responded promptly to all messages. Sent pictures and took very good care of our little puppy. I was very thankful to have her watch our fur baby and when we go out of town again she will be our first choice!!”

“Morgan always takes great care of my baby! For this stay my dachshund had an unexpected eye ulcer and required several meds several times a day. Morgan had no issue with this and was more than happy to accommodate!”

About: Ive taken care of soo many pups growing up for friends and family. Plus ive taken care of my own and roommates now that im older. I like to pay a close attention to things because every doggie is different and have veryy different personalities. Im currently working part time, and in the mornings until 11, so i like to make sure i get my exercise in sense i have the time available I do like to hang out with the doggies as im not really a easily bothered person, and i also try really hard ti pay close attention to things to make sure everything is alright.

About: Kayla: "I grew up with numerous horses, dogs and cats. I've worked at couple pet boarding hotels and the Lexington Humane Society, so I can make sure all of your pet's complex needs are met. I'm not a certified trainer, but I have a lot of experience training horses and dogs (you'd be surprised how much they have in common). More recently, I have been training our Aussie Bandit, which has been a challenging yet rewarding adventure. I believe strongly in positive reinforcement and have read numerous training/pet psychology books to be the best dog mom I can be." Brandon: "My family grew up with a Shiz-Tzu/Maltese mix. I have pet sit numerous of my friend's pet throughout college. Shortly after college, I rescued a dog (unknown pit mix), whom was my companion until Kayla and I met then he became our companion. We would go on walks, roller-blades, runs, and travel the country. If a dog could go on the adventure, he came along. His life was full of love, given and received, and we're ready to open our home to share that love with your dog." Together, we've been dog parents for 10+ years. Brandon works from home and is nearly always available. Pets are allowed on furniture, though not our bed. Snuggles are mandatory. Enrichment is available however your dog prefer: walks, runs, ball in the yard, socialization at the park, mental stimulation treat toys, you name it. Brandon works from home and can let dogs out as frequently as needed during the day. When we're both off work, we tend to do enriching activities with our dog. On weekends, we tend to stay close to home, or take our dog on enriching activities (farmers market, park play, walk) and are happy to bring your dog along if it makes sense to. We have a small fenced in yard, good for bathroom breaks and small play. No children in this house, and we keep the space generally clear for dogs to be able to run/move around. The couch is a fan-favorite for snugglers. We're nice and close to Masterson Station dog park, if your dog needs more space and/or likes to be social.

About: I really try to make pets feel at home. I’ve cared for anxious pups and cats, and seniors, before, so I’m extra tuned in to their comfort and what helps them settle. I pay attention to the little things — their pace, their quirks, what makes them relax — and adjust to whatever they need. I’m patient, gentle, and I do my best to make every pet feel safe and comfortable while they’re with me. Because I work from home and keep a flexible schedule, pet care fits easily into my day. I am a dog-mom myself and my little one, Louie, loves having friends over! I’m able to offer regular potty breaks, play sessions, and lots of companionship. I maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — meals, walks, training cues, and downtime — so their stay feels familiar and comfortable. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, calm, and comfortable environment with plenty of room to explore. I have a large fenced‑in yard, which gives dogs space to play, sniff, and stretch their legs while staying secure. I keep a steady routine with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and quiet rest. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, training cues, and comfort needs so their stay feels familiar and stress‑free. Whether a dog loves active play or prefers gentle companionship, I adjust the pace to match their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their normal routines exactly as you describe them. I respect your space, your rules, and your pet’s established habits. I make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and reassurance while you’re away. My goal is always the same in any setting: help your pet feel safe, understood, and loved.

“Mikayla did wonderfully with our puppy! She was super patient with his teething, took him for a bunch of walks, and helped him feel safe at night for his first weekend away from us! Thank you so much!”

“10/10!! I can’t say enough great things about Martha! She is a very attentive, loving, and experienced sitter. She cared for my dog, Journey, as if she were she own. I loved that she’s also a dog mom, has a fenced backyard, and sends LOTS of updates and pictures. Can’t wait to book with her again in the very near future!!!!”

Edomoni Y.

“Andrew made our Bear feel welcome right away by playing with him and introducing him to his small dog, Lucky Bear. He had lots of room to play inside and was given regular walks. Andrew sent us pictures throughout Bear’s visit and our boy looked very happy. I appreciate Andrew’s quick and thoughtful responses to my text messages. We’d definitely use him again for watching Bear.”

About: We came across the Cavapoo breed as our loving Rottweiler was on his journey to his “better place”. We chose the Cavapoo breed as our furry rainbow puppy to help us all with the tough loss. Fast fwd 5 years, and WOW, still can’t believe the journey that was created for us. Dog breeding, training, boarding and grooming just the way I would want my pups taken care of…in a home. Our setup is ready for all stages of dogs and of course, personalities. This is a small family business and we make pet care fit seamlessly into our lives. We’re a party of 4 and all hands are always on deck. 4:00 am wake up call during the week and 6:00 am on weekends. Caring for pets in our home can consist of taking your pets normal routine that’s already established and following it. Help keep your animal on a schedule of food timing to crate or bedroom boarding. We live in a neighborhood with a 6 foot privacy fenced in back yard. A 3,000 gallon Koi pond surrounded by 800 square feet of deck. Nice plush outdoor furniture for the dogs to lounge next to the pond after a drink. We have also built a 200 square foot doggie palace on our property. Full electricity with heating/air and additional ceiling fan. Great for rainy days or dogs who are lone rangers and/or feisty.

About: i’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for over three years. I’ve taken care of small medium dogs from anywhere between a week to three weeks. I’m currently in school monday - friday, but I am able to make mornings and nights work. I also play soccer but my schedule works around the routine. I can make accommodations based upon your needs. My home is an apartment, but has a doggy park. So, it can work regardless of it being an apartment.

About: I grew up with dogs and raised them responsibly throughout my childhood. As a young adult, I adopted an older cat and had a loving five years together before my baby passed. I love animals of all kinds and would welcome taking care of your pets with gusto and compassion. I’m currently a full time college student with a part time job, but I can fit your needs into my schedule! I am available for early morning and afternoon dog walks, overnight weekday cat stays, and mid-day check-ins on your beloved animals. Message me if my times work for you. I live in a non smoking apartment that is very pet friendly, with plenty of room for a cat. When it comes to dog walking, I take the utmost safety precautions and would love to walk them within your own neighborhood, as my downtown neighborhood is not very amenable to dog walks.

About: I love animals and have always been blessed to be able to care for them forming special bonds by giving lots of love and care! I am usually home 24/7 five days a week minus a few errands and would love to take care of your pets when you need! I have a two story home with pet safety gates and will play with your pet, give them cuddles, walks and homemade treats if you approve:)

“She is nice person, response very quick response at comfortable house. When I down to picking up, my cat relaxed like his house. He likes them and there.”

About: Hi there! I'm so excited to meet you and your furry family members! Animals have always been my greatest passion, and I've been fortunate enough to turn that passion into a career filled with some pretty incredible experiences! With a bachelor's degree in Equine Science and a master's degree in Marine Biology and Conservation, I've dedicated much of my education and professional life to understanding, caring for, and working alongside animals of all shapes and sizes. My professional background includes working as a veterinary technician, zoological specialist at Busch Gardens, marine mammal biologist, and dolphin trainer. Throughout these roles, I've gained extensive hands-on experience in animal husbandry, behavioral observation, training, enrichment, and providing individualized care. I've had the privilege of working with animals ranging from horses and household pets to dolphins, giraffes, and other exotic species! My veterinary background has also given me valuable experience recognizing changes in animal behavior, understanding health and wellness needs, and remaining calm and attentive in situations requiring extra care. But beyond my degrees and professional experience, I'm simply someone who absolutely adores animals. I understand that pets aren't just pets—they're family. And trusting someone else with a member of your family is a big deal! Whether your pet is joining me for boarding, heading out for a walk, or enjoying a drop-in visit, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs. Whether you have an energetic pup who loves adventures, a senior dog who prefers a slower pace, or a shy pet who needs a little extra patience, I'm happy to tailor my care to what makes them happiest. You can also expect plenty of updates and pictures while your pet is in my care, because I know how reassuring it is to see that your best friend is having a wonderful time! From dolphins and giraffes to dogs and cats, caring for animals has never been just a job to me. It's what I love most! I can't wait to meet your four-legged family members! 🐾❤️ I’m currently working from home and I am a part time student getting my doctorate in animal sciences. I have fairly open availability as much of my work and school work right now is all in house. For boarding I have open availability. For walks I can do anything after 12pm. For drop ins again ai can do anything after 12pm. Pet care is the upmost importance to me, and we can customize the schedule to what your pet needs! My apartment has a dog park attached to it so we can go outside and run and play! My neighbor has a large amount of sidewalks and grass that makes for great walks and sniffing time. I have a cat in the house that adores dogs and other cats and just wants to cuddle all the time, all of her stuff is raised so dogs can’t get into it. I want your pets to be happy and feel safe so if they need a crate or need anything else specific to them let me know and we will work it out!!
