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.
