Dog Boarding in Idle Hour, Lexington, KY

“Andy did a great job helping Nate feel at home. Nate got snacks he likes and outside breaks that were on his schedule. Andy sent a lot of updates with pictures. Besides the cute pictures, Andy sent me a picture that showed Nate feeling relaxed. Frankly, I was glad Nate still wanted to come home! Andy understands dogs, has an appreciation for the variety of normal dog behavior, and really does love dogs. His daughter also really loves dogs. Although I found Andy through Rover, a mutual friend confirmed that he’s a dog lover and would trust him with her dogs. Knowing that we had mutual friends was literally an answer to prayer. I would definitely trust this family with Nate again.”

About: Hey! I have a strong passion for animals, which has led me to gain a wealth of experience in pet care. This includes not only looking after my own pets but also taking care of those belonging to family and friends. My hands-on training with my dogs has equipped me with the skills to handle a variety of breeds, from small to large, and different age groups, including puppies and seniors. My approach to pet care focuses on building trust and understanding each animal's unique personality and needs. I enjoy engaging in activities that promote their well-being, such as exercise, training, and socialization. My reliability and commitment to providing high-quality care have earned me positive recommendations from those I've worked with. If you have specific aspects of my experience or services you're curious about, feel free to ask! I am a stay-at-home mom and can adjust my work schedule as needed! I'm always open to making arrangements, provided we discuss them in advance. As a stay-at-home mom, I find great joy in caring for my pets alongside my family responsibilities. Managing the needs of three pets requires organization and dedication, but I love ensuring they are well-fed, groomed, and taken out regularly for potty breaks. Walking my dog is not only a crucial part of their daily routine but also a wonderful way for me to stay active and enjoy the outdoors. Additionally, I often help out my neighbors by walking their dogs as well. This not only strengthens my bond with my own pet but also allows me to contribute to the community and support fellow pet owners. I take pride in creating a nurturing environment for my pets, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love. If you have any specific questions or areas you'd like to know more about, feel free to ask!

“We could tell our pup was in good hands with Kelsey. She sent me detailed updates daily and pictures too. Our dog is not the best eater and she worked with her to be sure she ate.

About: 🐾 A Home Away from Home | Loving, Reliable Dog Care 🏡🐶 About Me: As dog owners ourselves, I know how stressful it can be to find the right person to care for your pup while you’re away. Our family dog, Charlie, is a huge part of our lives, and whenever I travel, my biggest challenge is finding someone who will care for him like I do. That’s why I started offering dog-sitting—because I understand how much peace of mind matters. I love going to the dog park and exploring local trails, especially at Veterans Park.
