Dog Boarding Pinckard

“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!”

“Nancy is the best! I promise once you go to her you won't go anywhere else! Very knowledgeable, and my daisy is always excited to see her! Also she loves to play with the other dogs.”

Stephanie J.

“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.

“We were very pleased with the care provided for our 2 large dogs by Kristen and her family. Communication was excellent and prompt. Her home was clean and orderly. Pictures were sent several times to assure us that all was well. We have already booked another stay with Kristen.”

Janet C.

“Erin and family took great care of our Lucy Lu. Our dog is old and takes a bit more care than most dogs, as she is deaf and on medications. Erin kept us up to date on Lucy’s weekend and share pictures. We will definitely be calling again when we need doggie care. Thanks Erin!!!”

Paula D.

“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: 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.

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.

“I am so happy with Ashley’s caretaking of my boy, Sage while I was out of town. She sent pictures with cute updates. It was clear my dog was so content and happy with her in her home. I’m definitely making her my go to sitter!”

Gloria B.

“Tracie sent updates, with pictures, every day, and Millie (my dog) really seemed to love it there! I was afraid she'd be depressed to be back in our boring home, but she still likes us, I guess. Tracie's daughter even drew a picture of Millie to give to me!”

Joni B.

“We were visiting from TN, and this was our dog’s first stay with Haley. Nala had a great time and we felt very comfortable leaving her there. Haley kept us updated every day with messages and pictures.”

Betty B.

“Megan takes such good care of Sophie! Sophie is on more meds now that she’s older and Megan is so good about asking any questions and keeping up with the medication chart. We were unable to fly home after the Caribbean air space was shut down and Megan kept Sophie even longer until we returned. We appreciated it so much. We will definitely book with Megan again!”

Kathy B.

“Brooke and Jason as well as their kids took such great care of our little Lucy. We got lots of updates including photos and could tell Lucy settled right in with their family for the week having so much fun. We were very happy to hear the kids gave her lots of love too since Lucy is especially fond of them. We won’t hesitate to have Brooke and Jason watch Lucy again in the future.”

Claudia R.

“Madyson took great care of my puppy while I was out of town. She kept me updated on how she was doing the entire time. I knew Ellie May was in good hands.”

About: Hi! I'm a 32-year-old lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all personalities, sizes, and needs. I've had dogs in my life since I was a child, and I've spent years dog sitting for friends and family. I'm also a proud dog mom to my Australian Shepherd, Nimbus, who I've had for five years. Nimbus is a special-needs dog, so I've learned firsthand how important patience, consistency, attention to detail, and understanding each dog's individual needs really are. I take great pride in making sure he's happy, healthy, comfortable, and well cared for. Being a responsible pet owner is something I take seriously. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I want you to feel just as comfortable leaving your dog with me as you would with a trusted family member. I'm dependable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals. I also have my own reliable transportation, making it easy for me to accommodate pet care needs. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or a little extra patience and attention, I'll treat them with the same love and care I give to my Nimbus. Your pets deserve more than someone just showing up to feed them. They deserve someone who genuinely cares. And that's exactly what I offer! 🐶❤️ I have open availability for sitting, boarding, walking, feeding, playtime or whatever your pet needs! I would love to even take your dogs to the dog park and maybe get a pup cup! I have a large fenced in back yard and I live in a nice and safe neighborhood. I can call, FaceTime & take pictures for you anytime, so you know your dog is happy & safe!

About: I have been doing drop-in pet sitting since I was 10 years old. I also worked at a Collie breeding facility for two years. I now own my own dog and have trained her and cared for her for 7 years. I have the ability to teach agility as well as basic obedience (sit, lay down, heel, roll over, etc). I am extremely active and love going on walks or runs with pets, but am happy to sit and offer belly rubs too! I am free to take care of your pet wherever and whenever you like, within reason. Unfortunately I cannot have pets at my house. Your dog's happiness and health is of the utmost importance. I am different from other sitters in that I possess extensive dog experience, patience, and an extreme love for animals. I am currently available most days to spend time with your pet. I was also a receptionist and am a vet technician at a local vet clinic and can use my knowledge in the event of an emergency. I fit it in around work and having my own dog. I typically spend a moderate amount of time with your pet, with the ability to conduct check ins as needed. I used to be a part time vet tech so I am very knowledgeable about many different clinical signs of pain or distress as well as any maladies your dog could have.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, from owning miniature schnauzer’s and golden retrievers to even raising my own litter of 11 golden doodle puppies. I know how to give dogs the special and individual attention they need as well as making them feel loved. I’m currently a full time student, but I have a lot of gaps in my schedule to fill. I’m available almost anytime during the week, except for Thursday right now. I live in a condo by myself and have a lot of free time so I can make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for in their environment. I appreciate any specific instructions from their owners to make sure they stick to their routines.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have been passionate about keeping them happy and healthy! I love any kind of animal in any shape or size and am not intimidated by big dogs! I have lots of experience with large dogs especially since my family has always owned black labs. I am a student at UK studying Forestry and Wildlife Biology! I attend classes full time but I have full availability on weekends. I can work around my class schedule for drop-in visits and walks. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to play! There are currently no other pets in my home, so no need to worry about antisocial animals feeling stressed or territorial.

About: I enjoy spending time with animals, so there is always a guarantee that your pet will enjoy some quality time whether I am just playing with them and giving them a potty break, feeding them, or walking them! I have taken care of many people's pets before including older dogs, adolescent dogs, puppies, cats, fish, and more! I have a special place in my heart for animals, and I have a dog of my own, Ray, who is my best bud! I know how much pets can mean to us and impact our lives, and I know how important it is for people to know that their pets are well taken care of! I also know how much we miss our pets when we are away, even if it is for the day, so I am willing to go the extra mile to pamper your pet and do any extra things that will make you as the owner feel more comfortable with me caring for them! In the summer I have a free schedule! Other times my availability depends on the week. I can be flexible to meet your pets’ needs. I will treat your pets, like my own, like family! I am happy to implement any sorts of structure or training that you are doing with your pet to keep things consistent. I understand the importance of not only physically stimulating your dog, but also mentally with different types of enrichment.

About: Hi! I’m Evelyn, a veterinary technician with 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Caring for animals isn’t just my career—it’s something I truly love. Working in veterinary medicine has taught me how to recognize when pets are stressed, uncomfortable, or not feeling their best. Whether your pet needs medication, a fun walk, overnight companionship, or just a little extra patience, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. Every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I enjoy taking the time to get to know what makes them happiest. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and in caring, experienced hands. My schedule works well for pet care because I have a consistent full-time routine and a one-hour lunch break that often allows me to check in on pets or provide midday visits when needed. Outside of work, I love staying active through running and daily walks, so I enjoy keeping dogs happy and engaged while always matching the pace to each pet’s age, energy level, and needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and pet care throughout the week and on weekends. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. As a veterinary technician, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress, illness, anxiety, and changes in behavior, but I also know that the best care often means helping pets feel relaxed, secure, and loved. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my friendly dog and make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and supervision. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, whether that includes feeding schedules, medications, or crate training, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how they’re doing.
