Laura's Dog Retreat

Laura's Dog & Cat Retreat is a boarding kennel at 570 West Pine Hill Road in London, KY, offering dog boarding, cat boarding, and grooming under one roof. It is veteran family owned and operated, and it accepts dogs of every size, from small breeds through giants.

What a stay includes

Dogs board in private, climate-controlled suites rather than shared runs. Many of those suites open directly onto covered outdoor patios, which means dogs get outside time in rain or shine. Cats have their own separate accommodations, with wall climbers and platforms built into the rooms. Someone is on site supervising around the clock.

• Private suites with climate control
• Covered outdoor patios with direct suite access
• Separate cat rooms with wall climbers and platforms
• On-site grooming, including an optional exit bath before pickup
• 24/7 supervision

What sets it apart

Keeping dogs and cats in separate accommodations is the clearest difference here, and the layout is built around that split. The optional exit bath is worth asking about, since it sends a dog home clean after a longer stay. Owners who travel for extended stretches get 10% off boarding that runs 32 nights or more.

Practical details

The kennel is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Booking is handled by phone at 606-312-9032. Boarding rates published on the kennel's own site range from $30 to $40 per night. Current vaccinations are required for every guest, so bring records to drop-off. Questions can also go to laurasdogretreat@gmail.com, and the full site is at laurasdogretreat.com.
