“Lori was absolutely exceptional while hosting my 3 beloved pups. She kept me up to date multiple times a day on there status to include lots of pictures. Two to my dogs are on medications with one being a senior Chihuahua, Lori provided their medications as prescribed by their Veternarian. I will ALWAYS have Lori keep my pets as they were loved, comfortable and happy while in her home. Thank you once again for loving my babies just as I do.”
“Heather was absolutely fantastic. She was easy to communicate with and readily available for any questions. Our little guy had so much with Heather. She sent pictures and videos, daily, which was a nice touch. We will be booking her again. Highly recommend.”
“I was very pleased with Ebony. Casper was not happy with the other dogs she was boarding, because they were so much bigger than him. He did, however, get along very well with Ebony and her children. I highly recommend her.”
“We had to find someone last minute to watch our dog Leo , I came across this website and started to read reviews , and if they would take a large dog like Leo. Most sitters didn’t take dogs that wasn’t neutered, or they wouldn’t take him because of his breed. Then I came across Grace’s profile and read all the amazing reviews and read about her history with animals etc , so we knew she was the one. Leo has never been with anyone else besides my fiancé , son & I but as soon as we dropped him off he was already loving it and grace. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and letting us know how Leo was doing. He loves her big backyard and I just know he loved it at Grace’s house. She was very sweet and you can just tell how much she loves and cares about all animals. 10/10 would recommend Grace and we need a dog sitter again we know who to call ☺️”

We will 100% be booking with her again in the future.”

“I’m a first time dog owner and this was the first time I had to leave him behind for a trip. Stephanie put all of my worries at ease and provided exceptional care for my pup, Oscar. Our meet and greet went great and Oscar was so excited when we pulled into her driveway for the actual drop-off. Stephanie was very understanding of typical puppy things, sent plenty of photos and videos, which was greatly appreciated, and Oscar was happy and healthy when I collected him. I will absolutely reach out to Stephanie when I need services again.”

“We have a rescue dog who is very timid and takes a while to warm up to people. Sharon did an AMAZING job with him and made him feel right at home. She gave his medication without issue, and provided us lots of updates throughout our trip. She took the best care of our little guy and we are thrilled to have found her. Highly recommend! Thank you, Sharon!!”
“Shelby is wonderful and I can tell my pup has fun and is well cared for because he gets excited and runs to the door, all wagging his tail whenever I drop him off.”
“Cooper had a great time. Lots of pics sent everyday which made it really nice. It’s always hard to leave your buddy but seeing pics of your dog having a great time and being spoiled makes it much easier. Think my dog has found a best friend with Rachel’s black lab. Kinda felt bad separating them. I highly recommend Rachel if you need your pet cared for.”
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.
“Sarah was absolutely amazing would love for her to watch my dog anytime. Great communication and sent me numerous pictures throughout the stay. Highly recommend would give 10 stars if I could.”
“Stephen & Angela are so wonderful with my dog, Zeke. I do doggy daycare twice a week, and just recently did over a week of dog boarding for my dog while I was on vacation. They are always super responsive, friendly, and my dog looks forward to going to their home. I was very anxious leaving my dog for vacation, but I knew Zeke would be in great care and have a fun vacation of his own. I appreciated the daily photos sent to me, and the thoughtful treat bag when I picked up my boy. They even included human treats!”
