The Dog Spot

The Dog Spot is a dog boarding and daycare kennel on a scenic 9-acre farm in Mt. Washington, KY. It sits at 2939 Flatlick Road and takes dogs of every size, from small breeds up to giant ones. The owner lives on-site, so there is someone on the property overnight.

Services and amenities

The setup leans on space: climate-controlled buildings for sleeping, and fenced acreage for the rest of the day.

• Overnight boarding and daycare for small, medium, large, and giant dogs
• Climate-controlled buildings with individual, spacious kennel runs and raised Kurunda beds
• Large fenced yards with real grass and trees
• Medication administration and special diets handled on-site
• Enrichment toys, balls, bones, and daily playtime

What makes it different

Much of the day happens outdoors. Dogs get multiple outdoor exercise sessions, and in warm weather the yards add baby pools and hose play. Small and elderly dogs have a separate building of their own, which keeps their stay quieter than a shared run would be. The farm setting is the real difference from a storefront kennel: there is grass and shade instead of a strip of pavement, and enough room that active dogs can stretch out.

Practical details

Published rates run $22 to $28 per day. Reservations are made by phone at (502) 538-7387. Proof of vaccination is required before a dog stays. Owners can also reach The Dog Spot at info@thedogspotky.com or through thedogspotky.com.
