“Josh goes above and beyond to make sure Ella adjusts well to the new environment and gets all the puppy essentials taken care of. We felt so comfortable leaving her with him and his wonderful family while we were away on a trip. Definitely will be reaching out to Josh in the future!”
“Lucinda was great with our 3 year old Lab. We were able to meet her a few weeks prior to our vacation. Communication was excellent and we got daily updates. Drop off and pick up was a breeze. I would highly recommend!”
“Henry came home from his second visit with a big smile on his face. Pretty sure he had a great time and I am positive Lori to great care of him. I will keep Lori at the top of my "go to" Henry list! Thanks Lori!”
“Abi was amazing with Tater! Everything went perfect from the pre-visit, drop off, stay and pick up. Abi sent updates and pictures every day and throughout the day. We never had to reach out and ask how Tater was doing. We had to ask to extend Taters stay due to our flight being cancelled and rebooked. Abi was super flexible and allowed us to extend our stay. Tater was happy and relaxed when we picked her up from Abi. This was such a great experience! We will definitely be rebooking with Abi the next time we need a sitter for Tater.”
“Zoë is very sweet & knowledgeable when it comes to doggies! She took such great care of my little golden and kept me informed throughout the day each day on how she was doing with messages and photos. I would highly recommend Zoë for any/all of your doggie needs! :)”
“Anna and her family are the best. They took care of our girl like their own. So thankful to have the piece of mind while traveling that our Izzy is in a good home.”
“Nikole and her family took great care of my dog Miley for 13 days. She sent me daily photos and video's of Miley having a great time. Communication was easy and quick. Nikole made sure she understood Miley's daily schedule at our house and followed it as close as possible while watching her. I would highly recommend Nikole for your pet sitting needs.”
“We went on a week-long trip with parents and other siblings, glad we did not bring Momo with us. Imagined hiking trip turned out to be amusement parks back to back, no shade for human and no dogs allowed. Other siblings' dog stuck inside everyday crying, while Momo made new friends with Nick's puppies, running around in the large yard playing frisbee with Nick, all new experience for her. Seeing her happy in the pictures videos from Nick, we knew how much she doesn't miss us at all lol. Staying with Nick Momo had a real vacation and did not miss out on anything. Worth mentioning, one week is a new record for Momo apart from me. Thank Nick so much and Momo would definitely stay at Nick's next time.”
“Great sitter. Very responsive. Our dog enjoyed his vacation at Rachel’s and he was cared for as if he was her own. Daily updates / pics / vids were received. We would trust her to watch our dog again.”
“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.”
“Kaitlyn was awesome! Kept us updated every day with how Frank was doing and sent lots of pics. We could tell Frank had a blast when we picked him up!”
“Liam is the best! He treats our pup like his own and Teddy has so much fun with Liam and Louie! So glad we got connected and will definitely use him again. Highly recommend!!”
“Kelsey is awesome. She agreed to take care of my Arrow last minute and has been great. He has been pampered all week. I would highly recommend her”
“Reliable and very flexible! Great space for dogs.”
“Rebecca was wonderful with our dog Vega. She checked in with us every day and sent pictures! This made our vacation much more enjoyable 😉”
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.
About: I have a special place in my heart for animals especially dogs. I have always had dogs that have grew up with me. I have 3 of my own - golden doodle/Nala, poodle/mylee, golden retriever/Molly. I love every breed. I have kept my friends and family’s dogs over night while they are out of town and they love to play with my dogs. My dogs are very pet friendly with other dogs. I enjoy taking them on the walking trails. I work as a CNA as needed. So I have a lot of time on my hands and I would love to have a side job and this I believe is perfect for me. I feed my dogs once a day around 5pm it helps keep them at a healthy weight. I give them treats when they come inside after they potty. I live out in the country so they have plenty of space to run. I will do whatever you need me to do with your pets you just tell me!
“Penny and the whole family are super sweet and perfect to watch your dog my dog Sherman warmed up very quickly and even slept with her teenage son. Definitely will use them again because I have busy work weeks at times. Sherman is a bit much sometimes when he sees other dogs a bit reactive but Penny kept an eye on him and never went out without his leash and collar and made sure all dogs weren't out. He had a blast came home and ran around like a puppy again. Will definitely be using her again.”
“Kayla took great care of Leroy! She was very professional and organized and met us at the front door for drop off and pick up. She told us Leroy and her dog played a lot together! She sent us 2 updates with pictures during our time away which was great. Leroy came home relaxed and tired! Thanks Kayla!”

“She is reliable, trustworthy, compassionate, knowledgeable and has this amazing bond with every dog she comes in contact. She is very dedicated in the things she does considering she’s in healthcare and cares for old people and she’s has taken care of dogs before for family and friends and even has some of her own. Without a doubt I know she would be the best to take care of dogs and even mine.”
