Doggy Day Care Zion Hill

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. Throughout my childhood I’ve had dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, parrots and fish in all stages of life. I’ve learned to cater to every need because of this, as every pet needs something specific to their age, size and personality. I can handle pets of all sizes and energy levels, and will treat each just as I would one of my own. I’m a full-time college student home for Summer break, and I have a very open schedule that I would love to fill surrounded by fur babies. I’d like to make pet sitting my full-time job for the season, so I have lots of flexibility and availability. I have a large fully fenced in back yard and live in close proximity to a dog park. I currently have one of my own super friendly dogs at home, and I have plenty of space to welcome yours, and/or separate them comfortably if needed for whatever reason.

“Nancy was fabulous in communication and keeping our pup safe and sound in her care. We would recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic sitter.”

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for over 50 years. I was so lucky to grow up in a home that was the local Noah’s Arc. This childhood formed my commitment and love to animals. About 20 years ago, I decided to enter the world of pure bred dogs and have been an avid exhibitor and breeder of Pointers and Ridgebacks focused always on good temperaments and health. I love dogs and really believe it’s important that each animal I care for, feels at home, comfortable, pampered, exercised and loved. I have 4 dogs that are super casual and it has been very easy to bring animals into my home. I will only take 1 or 2 dogs at a time, as I want to be able to provide the best care possible for them. Your animals are treated as though they are mine and the care and love they will experience can only be exceeded by you. It’s always stressful for animals to be away from their families, so the more I can do to relieve this stress, the better I feel. I always tease my clients that their dogs may come home a little spoiled. I’m very much available all day really to take care of the dogs as my schedule is very flexible. In addition my brother lives with me and he helps me take care of the dogs. There is always a person at our house while your dog will be visiting. I also offer a military discount for those that have or are serving our beautiful country. I do not work outside of the home, which provides me with a lot of flexibility to provide dedicated care to your pets all day. I think it's important dogs that stay at my house receive the same amount of attention as they would at home and as my dogs do. I also believe it's important not to disrupt their daily routine, so I work closely with owners to understand each Dog needs.

“I was visiting family in the area, and I left my 40 lb female husky with Kimberly for the day. My husky gets anxious in new environments and loves to be outside. Kimberly helped her get acquainted with the new surroundings and took her for SO many walks! When I picked my husky up at the end of the day, she was very happy and very tired! I would definitely contact again and recommend Kimberly. I felt very comfortable, she was very communicative & clearly cared about my husky having a good day too!”

“Delaney was amazing again! With a last minute request, Rupp had the best time and her pictures were amazing. I love the doggy daycare report card at the end of the day! So fun. She spoils our baby boy!”

“Amber saved our lives when we needed a last-minute sitter for our little Ebi. She was lovely when we dropped her off, and we could tell how much she loves dogs. She was very communicative all day, sending pictures and keeping us updated on how Ebi was doing 😊 She’s actually taking care of Ebi for two days in a row.”

Sara C.

“This was my first time leaving Millie with anyone other than family and Clarissa made it such a positive experience for us! So grateful for the peace of mind that came from her sending picture updates throughout the day and seeing how happy and comfortable Millie was in her home. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I foster and volunteer and love it. I have the sweetest pup named Sadie who loves all people and animals. I am home full time and spend most of the time with my pups and kiddos. They usually sleep with me at night unless they have another preference. I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies who love to play! I also am able to crate any pups who might prefer it.

“Enjoyed the photos from Kristin during Buddy Boy’s time with her. We were pleased with the care she gave him and thoughtfulness she gave us.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was very young. I have exceptional patience, gentleness and instinct for care. I am very comfortable caring small and large breeds with different energy levels and needs. I work from home which means the dogs won't be left alone for hours. They'll get attention, snuggles, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I have two dogs of my own and I take care of them all day. I give them walks and play breaks constantly. While also providing a very comfortable place for them to rest and snuggle

“Ollie had a great time! Brent sent pics and was a great communicator! If we're back in Lexington, we will definitely have Ollie stay here again!”

About: Gentle, caring approach . Years of handling dogs . I've taken care of dogs of many breeds including puppies, seniors, handicapped, post surgery Ability to dispense meds. I think dogs and most animals know when they meet you if you like them. Like people each pet has its own personality, likes, dislikes. I've been able to develop a trusting relationship with pets simply because they know I care about them . Our place offers large, immaculate private suites that are quiet, Each room offers automatic water bowls, tv, music , kuranda beds, and separate outdoor ( under roof) concrete run. Dogs also experience the large grassy play area twice daily . Your pets receive daily petting, conversation which is important. Our heated floors keep paws cozy in fall and winter and air-condition throughout summer. Safe and pampered is our goal. I'm retired so I have time to care for your pet. My schedule is flexible for drop offs and pick ups. We have an excellent exercise area, totally fenced and secure. Agility area includes a great play area. We have our personal pets, some young, some seniors. Our boarding is excellent. We provide clean, beautiful private suites for all guests. Automatic water bowls provide constant fresh water. The rooms are well lit and cheerful with off the floor kuranda beds. Tv and music in each room provides comfort and activity. Pets are fed twice daily ( pup parent provides food). Exercise is available in each suites covered outdoor area. And plenty of run room is available 3 times daily in our large 6ft fenced area Snuggle time is important too and we make special time for it Our goal is to provide a loving and safe environment with a positive, calm experience for each pet.

About: We are not your average sitter! Parents who wish for their dogs to have fun in a safe and controlled way please read on! If your 4 legged friend stays with me, not only will they be treated like the family pack, we will be busy doing fun things. Don’t leave your dog somewhere locked up in a strangers house wondering when you will come back! They hate that! We can have field trips to different hiking locations/ parks around Lexington, lots of fun activities involving food (yum!) and you bet there will be an overload of pictures to share! Challenging dogs, active dogs, and everything in between are welcome! *Bathes with many shampoo options available as well as a blow dry. Fees apply **I offer free pick up and drop offs (although anyone is welcome to do so themselves) within 20 miles of Nicholasville** About this sitter: I have been working with dogs (and other animals) since 2011 in various capacities so your dog will be in well capable hands. The last 3 years I have been training dogs in California and have completed 2 prestigious courses for dog trainers. I have fostered many dogs from the animal shelter so I have learned how to help dogs smoothly adjust into new environments. My other favorite hobby aside from working with dogs are training with my own dogs, horseback riding, and hiking with friends and their pooches in large packs. I am happy to work with any training request while your pups is here if you so choose. Why I love dog sitting I love to give people piece of mind that their pups are accepted, well taken care of and thriving in an environment that is good for their dogs. In return, I get to meet new breeds and temperaments of dogs that will value my future career! A total win win situation. I also love an extra excuse to get out and explore new hiking trails! About my yard We have a large yard with the house situated in the middle. It is unfenced but no one goes off leash (long line) until there is a better understanding of the dog and their habits. There is a flowing creek and dam on the property as well as plenty of space to run around. Your dogs will never want to leave! My experience administering medication Yes, I have administered medications orally, and through injections. The mornings are for potty time followed by breakfast if applicable. After food is digested and the human is ready, we will venture out for the day for a walk, hike, or playtime. I am only caring for pets in my home currently, but I will care for any guest with respect and also keep them entertained. I have all needed supplies but special bedding is allowed to bring with their stay.

“John was excellent! I ended up reaching out to him last minute due to a schedule change, and he was very kind and accommodating. Throughout the day, John sent multiple pictures and updates, and he even spoiled him with some homemade food! Our a little guy had such a great time. Will definitely be bringing him back!”
