Dog Boarding Midway

“First time using Rover. Was coming in from another state and needed a place close to where I was staying. Read Nancy’s reviews and everything sounded good! Did not do much corresponding with Nancy. Just the basics. Dropped Arlo off and she was very nice, with a good vibe and had a great farm. Arlo seemed happy when I picked him up. He had never stayed overnight with a stranger. Nancy said he did great. He did sleep the whole eight hour drive home. If I lived closer I would have him stay with Nancy whenever I had to go out of town!”

“Ana was wonderful! Very loving and caring. My furbaby became very attached to her husband as well. She also liked playing with Mia, Ana’s fur baby, which was awesome. She is usually indifferent to other animals. I would highly, highly recommend Ana. It was such a comfort knowing Ruby was being loved while we were away ❤️”

“Tracie and her family are all wonderfully thoughtful and kind! Nala felt comfortable right away and enjoyed her stay thoroughly! It was so very sweet of Tracie's daughter to draw me a picture of Nala to take with me! I will cherish it!”

“Extremely happy with the care and attention JoJo received from Lynn. He had so much fun playing with her friendly dogs. And she kept me updated on Jojos daily antics with photos, videos and reports 😄. Lynn is an experienced dog person. I had absolutely no hesitation she could confidently handle anything that could possibly arise whilst I was out of town. It’s nice to know that someone is not only taking good care of your dog, but is actually enjoying them being there. 10/10 recommend, and will be back for sure!”

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.

“Alex and Martha are great! Communication is excellent. They spent a lot of time with our dog and she had a blast playing with their dog. We were worried about leaving her with a sitter for the first time but we had absolutely no issues at all. Will definitely use them again for our next trip!”

“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!”

“Allie is such a find! Our dog Link obviously had an amazing time on his stay with her. She sent great pictures and kept in touch. She spoiled our doggo with love and treats and toys. Her love and care for dogs gave us the peace of mind we needed to really enjoy our vacation. We absolutely recommend Allie and will book her again in the future!”

About: I’ve been around and cared for all different sorts of dogs since I can remember. I’ve owned a pit bull, Dalmatians, boxers, labs etc! I’m great at keeping pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and sticking to each pet’s routine. I’m responsible and attentive to every animal I care for to make sure there as comfortable as can be while being away from their owners. I’ll always treat your pets with the same care and love I’d want for my own. Im currently only working part time hours so i have plenty of availability to spend quality time with any pet I will be boarding, sitting or walking! I live in an apartment with my fiance not too far from shillito park so while I don’t have a backyard shillito park is a short walk away and one of my favorite places to go for walks.

“I cannot recommend her enough! She took amazing care of Reo, and her communication was excellent. She kept me updated throughout the stay and sent me multiple pictures of how Reo was doing. I contacted her at the last minute because Reo had recently been neutered and couldn't attend daycare, and I had to go to work. She was more than willing to take care of Reo on short notice, gave him his medication, and made sure he was comfortable. Thank you so much Megan for your kindness, flexibility, and excellent care!”

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!

“Copper received great care while staying with Lauren! She communicated with me and met all of our dog’s needs. We would recommend Lauren for any pet needs.”

“Kathryn is very loving and treated my boys as her own. They loved going to their own special “doggie camp” while I was away. Kathryn sent pics and kept me informed through the week. Great experience!”

Beth F.

“John was an amazing sitter who kept us updated multiple times a day with pictures and updates, even when we couldn’t be as responsive. He offered Teddy healthy treats on the regular and treated him like his own. Five stars! We will definitely be reaching out to him again for future sitting needs.”

About: As a trusted home-body I’m always the one to watch family and friends’ pets when they go out of town. And I love it! I’m a freelancer who works from home so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I have more than enough time to play, cuddle, train, take walks, and give your dog all of the attention and care they deserve! I have a large fenced-in backyard and two dogs of my own to keep yours company during their stay. I have one 6 year old chihuahua and one 10-month old rat terrier puppy with plenty of friendly, playful energy. We have tons of toys and treats as well. If they’re kennel-trained, I have a kennel they can feel safe and secure in.

About: I have always had a huge love for dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities! I volunteer as a trainer with 4 Paws for Ability, where I have fostered, trained, and served as the primary handler for three dogs. Through this experience, I gained valuable skills in obedience training, puppy development, understanding dog behavior, and providing consistent, loving care. Outside of 4 Paws for Ability, I've also been a regular pet sitter for multiple families, caring for their dogs and building trusting relationships with both the pets and their owners. Both through 4 Paws and individually I've cared for dogs of all ages, including puppies as young as 8 weeks old, as well as dogs with special needs and conditions such as hip and elbow dysplasia and dogs in heat. These experiences have taught me how important it is to understand each dog's individual needs and adjust my care accordingly. One thing I especially enjoy is helping dogs maintain and build upon their existing training! I'm happy to reinforce commands, routines, and positive reinforcement techniques that families are already working on. I understand how important consistency is, especially for puppies and dogs actively learning new skills. Whether your dog is full of puppy energy, needs a little extra attention, or simply enjoys a relaxed routine, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how much trust goes into leaving your dog with someone else, and I'll always treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own! I'm currently a college student with a very flexible schedule! My classes are solely in the mornings and last no more than 2.5 hours (even when back-to-back), leaving me with plenty of time throughout the day to dedicate to pet care. I have lots of availability for walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving your pup the love and attention they deserve! My weekends are also very flexible, allowing me to spend even more quality time with your pup and accommodate longer stays. I'm always happy to work with your dog's usual routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away! Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I live in an apartment complex with a large, fully fenced-in dog park, providing plenty of space for exercise, playtime, and fresh air. Depending on your dog's personality and preferences, they can enjoy socializing with other dogs or have their own time to run around and play without other dogs present. I always prioritize safe interactions and will never force your pup into an environment they're uncomfortable with. I also have plenty of dog toys to keep your pup entertained, whether they love playing fetch, chewing on toys, or just having something fun to play with! I have a crate available if your dog is crate-trained or feels more comfortable having their own space. I'm happy to follow your dog's usual routines, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any ongoing training. With my experience handling and training dogs, I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and paying attention to each dog's individual needs. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure to respect their space and maintain their dog's familiar routine as closely as possible. I also love keeping owners updated with pictures and messages so they can feel confident that their pup is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention while they're away!

“My pup was super comfortable with Grayson from the moment we met her, which made me feel comfortable too! I also appreciated that she provided updates and pictures during their time together!”

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.

“Justin was great! Sent updates and was flexible with pick up and drop- off times, which I really appreciate. Would definitely recommend”

About: Hi, I’m Kaitlyn! I’ve always loved animals, and pet sitting is the perfect way for me to earn a little extra while settling into my new full-time job. I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members, and I’d love to be that person for you! Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or companionship, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve had experience caring for pets of different sizes and personalities, and I understand every animal has their own needs and routine. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet your pet and provide the care they deserve! I work a full-time job at UK and im just settling in, so if you have a furbaby that's in need of caring for because of a busy summer schedule. Book with me and dont send them to a kennel or dog day care. I have a strict no dog policy at my house as I live at home rn and my parents have 3 huskies and its chaotic as is. Will up date if changes.
