Dog Boarding Lexington

“Love this laid back atmosphere where my very needy & spoiled lab can wonder in and out and all around this beautiful house and yet still b safe and contained. Very relaxed vibe with a very sweet caretaker. My boy has had 2 day visits and a 2 day/night over nighter and always comes back happy and tired. I would highly recommend this sitter.”

Kelly M.

“Michelle and her family treated my Po and Basil as if they were their own! It was so great knowing my two were safe and sound, especially with her expertise in the vet med field. Will absolutely book again!”

Cassie T.

“Xiomy was great with our boy Gunner. I got daily pics of him playing with her dog and status updates on how Gunner was adjusting in my absence. I will most definitely book again. Thanks Xiomy.”

“Kendall & Darbie were fantastic! Communication was excellent and they were super friendly and accommodating! We will book with them again the next time we're in Athens!”

Veronica D.

“Bailey was the first sitter I booked on Rover and I am SO grateful for her kindness and flexibility! She made me feel safe and comfortable to trust her with my fur baby. She sent updates and pictures of my girl daily and responded quickly to my messages. I am so sad her availability is limited, but I would 100% recommend Bailey to everyone! Thank you so much!”

“Berkeley was immediately excited when he arrived to stay with Annette, despite being such an anxious dog. There were a few other dogs for him to play with and a great fenced in yard to run around in. They even took a trip to the dog park. I’m thankful I found Annette to provide such a safe and loving place for him to stay while we were away!”

Kelly T.

“Taylor recently watched my dog for 4 nights. He was a great communicator, responsible and took excellent care!! Highly recommend him to others, and I will be happy to use him again!”

About: With eight years of experience, I specialize in personalized care for a wide range of animals, including reptiles and livestock. I am skilled in working with animals of all ages, administering medications, and providing extra care for those with special needs. I am currently a full-time college student with a flexible schedule. Because of this, I am free throughout the week, only needing to leave your pet to attend classes. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize making them feel safe and comfortable in my presence. I maintain their routines, provide attentive care, and create a calm environment to ensure they feel secure while their owner is away.

About: Hi, I'm Alexa! I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have cared for many of my own, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. Over the years, I’ve provided dependable pet sitting for friends, neighbors, and families in my hometown, earning their trust through consistent, attentive care. I treat every pet as if they were my own—prioritizing their comfort, safety, and happiness at all times. As a college student pursuing a degree in the medical field, I bring a heightened level of awareness, responsibility, and knowledge when it comes to overall care and well-being. I am detail-oriented, reliable, and committed to maintaining routines that keep pets feeling secure and stress-free. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I provide a calm, nurturing environment that pet owners can feel confident in. I ADORE ALL FUR BABIES! As a college student currently taking online courses, I have a very flexible and consistent daily routine that allows me to prioritize your pets care throughout the day. My schedule gives me the ability to be present for feedings, walks, playtime, and regular check-ins without feeling rushed. I don't have weekends marked as a guarantee, but I may be available and will always be open to working something out, so don't be afraid to reach out! 🩷 I care for pets like they’re my own and try to keep them as comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I stick to their usual routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and anything else they’re used to—so they don’t feel stressed while their owner is away. I also make sure to keep things clean and send updates with photos. If I’m caring for pets in my apartment, I make sure they have a safe, clean space and get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I pay attention to each pet’s personality and what they need so they feel happy and relaxed.

About: I have loved and cared for all sorts of animals (dogs, cats, fish, birds,...) since I was a child. Friends and family know they can count on me to deliver great care for these important members of the family. I am comfortable with all breeds and ages, even anxious pets, and can administer medication. I am currently working from home with a flexible schedule, so I am available anytime to care for your pet. I will feed, walk, and snuggle as much as needed, and am happy to send photo updates. I have a large fenced-in yard and a friendly 8 year old chiweenie who can easily be separated if your pet isn't ok with other dogs. I am happy to keep your housebroken pet in my home or will travel to yours.

“Xionella was amazing with Wilbur! He was so well cared for and had a great visit. Xionella was very responsive and sent pictures and updates throughout the day/night. Definitely would book with her again!”

About: I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My background includes EDD K9 handling, obedience training, working bird hunting dogs, and caring for high-energy working breeds that require structure and exercise. I live on 14.9 acres in Madison County, Georgia, providing dogs with a safe, spacious environment to play, explore, and relax. I understand canine behavior, body language, and the importance of maintaining routines that help dogs feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your dog needs active playtime, supervised socialization, or a calm place to stay, I provide dependable, attentive care as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, not a side job. My daily routine is built around the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive attention, exercise, potty breaks, feeding, and supervision throughout the day. Living on 14.9 acres in Madison County, I provide a safe, spacious environment where dogs can enjoy structured outdoor time and plenty of individual attention. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a calm, relaxed atmosphere, I tailor their care to their specific needs. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are being cared for by someone whose primary focus is their safety, comfort, and happiness. Dogs enjoy a structured daily schedule that includes supervised outdoor exercise, potty breaks, feeding according to their owner’s instructions, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one interaction. Each dog has access to a clean, secure run for rest and quiet time, while also receiving multiple opportunities throughout the day for exercise and socialization when appropriate. Because we accept only a limited number of dogs, we can closely monitor behavior, appetite, activity levels, and overall well-being. This personalized approach helps reduce stress, creates a calmer environment, and allows us to provide the level of care and attention that dogs deserve while their families are away. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and structured home-away-from-home experience where every dog is treated like a valued guest rather than just another boarding reservation.

“Brittany and her family is so sweet. Buttons really enjoyed himself and loves them. She sent pictures and videos. I didn’t worry about my Buttons with her,which was such a relief which made it so easy for me to enjoy my trip. I had to extend my furbaby’s stay and she worked with me on that as well. If you want someone to love and care for your furbaby, she is the one to call. We so definitely will be using her again?”

Conitra J.

“She was very sweet and knowledgeable about dogs. I received daily updates and pictures. I was afraid Blondie would like her so much she wouldn't want to come home..lol.”

Evan G.

“Rudy absolutely loved staying with Avery at her place! She and her husband are so kind and it's obvious they love dogs and care for them as they would their own. Rudy loved going on walks and cuddling. I highly recommend Avery as a petsitter and I know Rudy would love to stay with her again!”

Hannah R.

“Sara took incredible care of Buddy while we were out of town. She provided regular updates as well as several photos to show how well he was doing. We will definitely call on Sara the next time he needs a caregiver!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Madison—former shelter/rescue worker turned specialty animal hospital administrator turned full-time WFH corporate girlie and dog mom. With years of hands-on experience handling everything from wiggly puppies to sweet seniors, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate vibe to every dog I meet. I’ve worked with all temperaments, sizes, and medical needs. Need meds given? No problem. Need someone who won’t freak out over a surprise poop situation? Also no problem. My goal is to keep your pet happy, healthy, and excited to hang with their new bestie. 🐾 I work from home full-time, which allows me to offer flexible pet care! While I do prefer your pet to stay with me so I can give them the best care throughout the day, I can also accommodate daily visits or home stays depending on my work environment and availability. If you’re looking for daily visits or a home stay, I just ask that your pet’s space is comfortable and that I can provide the attention they need while balancing work. I’m dedicated to keeping them happy, entertained, and safe while I’m working! If you have any special requests or need to discuss a specific schedule, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’ll make sure we find the best fit for you and your pet. 🐾 When your pet stays with me, they’ll have their own large indoor private space giving them a quiet, comfortable area to call their own. Whether they want to curl up for a nap or enjoy some playtime, they'll have the freedom to relax in their own area. Since I work from home, I’m around all day to keep them company, give them potty breaks, and provide plenty of attention. If your pet enjoys snuggling, I’m more than happy to share the couch for some extra cozy moments. I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can see how your pet is doing while they’re in their home-away-from-home! Additional information and requirements for boarding: *PLEASE READ* Boarding Requirements: All pets must be up to date on: -Vaccinations -Monthly flea/tick prevention -Monthly heartworm prevention (My personal pets are held to the same standards for everyone's safety) -Crate training is preferred, but flexible based on the dog’s size and needs. -Owners must confirm whether I have permission to take their pet to the vet in case of an emergency. -I remain available via phone or messenger for updates and communication throughout the stay. I am more than happy to take as many photos and videos as you need :) Pet Interaction Policy: While my own dogs will be present in the home, your pet will stay in a separate area and will not interact with them. This is to ensure the safety and comfort of both your pet and mine. Doggy playdates can be arranged based on your pet’s size and temperament.

About: I have had pets all my life. I have had dogs, cats, goats, fish, turtles, deer, squirrels! You name it and I’ve probably had it. I am a frequent volunteer at the Athens Clarke County Animal Shelter. I love giving some much needed attention to the sweet animals while they wait for their fur-ever homes! Let me take care of your babies! I’ll treat them just like my own. I am a teacher, so I am back at school during the weekdays. I will be at work from 7:30-3:30 but am happy to care for pets before I leave for work and immediately when I return home. I am happy to come to your home and care for your pet in their space. I am also willing to come and give walks and potty breaks throughout the day if that’s what you want. On the weekends I am willing to do boarding.
