Poppy Paws Adventures

Poppy Paws Adventures is a home-based pet care business in Lexington, KY, offering in-home dog boarding, dog daycare, drop-in visits, and midday walks. Overnight boarders stay in a home setting rather than a large facility, and each dog is crated individually. Published boarding rates run from $50 to $75 per night.

What services does Poppy Paws Adventures offer?

Boarding is the core service, but the list goes well beyond overnight stays. Owners who would rather keep their dog at home can book drop-in visits or midday dog walking instead.

• Home-based overnight boarding with individual crating
• Dog daycare
• Drop-in visits and midday dog walking
• Round-trip pick-up and drop-off
• Grooming and medication administration

The business also handles farm sitting for hobby and family farms, plus pet care for weddings and other events.

Is it a good fit for reactive or special-needs dogs?

This is where the business sets itself apart. Poppy Paws Adventures lists experience with reactive dogs and with special-needs dogs, including those with IVDD and rear lameness. Its website describes a patient, careful approach that pays close attention to each animal's body language and personality. A quieter home setting can suit dogs that struggle with the noise of a busy kennel. Dogs on a treatment plan can also have their medication given during the stay.

How do owners stay in the loop?

Owners receive daily photo updates and detailed visit reports while their dog is in care. Regular check-ins are a big part of how the business describes its service. They also help owners who worry while they're away see how the stay is going.

Practical details

Booking is handled online. Dogs must be current on required vaccinations before boarding, so owners should have records ready. Questions can go to Poppy Paws Adventures by email at poppypawsadventures@gmail.com or through the contact page on its website.
