The Dog Nanny

The Dog Nanny runs cage-free, in-home dog boarding in Louisville, KY, plus drop-in visits and dog walking for owners who are away for a day or a week. Dogs stay in a home setting rather than a kennel run, and the guest list is strictly limited so each guest gets individualized attention. Published rates are $55 to $65 per day.

How stays work

Boarding is cage-free and climate-controlled, with supervision around the clock. The limited guest list is the main constraint here, meaning fewer dogs in the house at a time and routines like feeding and rest that stay closer to what a dog knows at home. Staff administer medication, which matters for senior dogs or any dog on a daily schedule. Transportation is part of the service, so pickup and drop-off can be arranged instead of adding another errand to a travel day.

Staying in the loop

Updates run through Time To Pet, the app the business uses for real-time GPS-verified check-ins and daily photos. Owners see how the day went instead of waiting for a recap at pickup. Care is handled by staff certified through K-911 in Canine and Feline CPR and Advanced Pet First Aid.
