Boarding at the Dog Spot
Boarding at The Dog Spot is for the pet owner who considers their dog to be an important family member, like I do! I currently own 3 dogs of various sizes and ages.
I know how much I hate to leave my dogs, even to go on vacation, so I want to provide a superior experience for both you and your pet, with my boarding services.
All dogs are treated as the important family member that I know they are. I promise your dog will enjoy a fun vacation, while you are off enjoying yours.

First Rate Facilities
The Dog Spot provides a unique type of boarding opportunity for the cherished family pet. Located at Carol’s home in Mt Washington on 9 acres, it offers a more natural, homelike environment for our furry visitors. Dogs are exercised in large fenced yards with real grass and trees! We also provide lots of enrichment toys, balls, bones and playtime. And during warmer weather, we also add baby pools and hose playtime!
Inside our climate-controlled buildings, each dog has their own personal, spacious kennel run with a raised Kurunda bed and fresh water 24/7. We also have a separate building reserved for our small and elderly dogs, to help make their stay with us more comfortable.
All dogs are taken out into the attached fenced in yards several times a day and there is no additional charge to love, play or exercise your pet! Our rates are all inclusive, including administering medications. We just ask that any medication be placed in a pill sorter and labeled. Sorry, but we do not do injections.
Our Reviews
What People are Saying About Us!
If your dog enjoys socializing with other dogs, we may try to match them with other friendly dogs for playtime, if available. The exception is any unneutered dog, older than 6 months, will not be in play groups, for everyone’s well being. But they get outdoors just as often! Just with people instead of pups! And some pups prefer to just hang out and sun themselves in peace and I can provide that as well!
Get Started
About Me
In 2011, after being an alpaca farmer for a number of years, Carol was ready for a new business venture,. She had always dreamed of opening and operating a dog boarding facility and that dream became the foundation of The Dog Spot!
An avid animal lover since early childhood, Carol has been involved with dog training for over 30 years. She discovered her love for training when she got her first dog and began taking classes at the local dog club. Carol loved training and started competing in obedience trials in the early 80’s. In 1990, she opened and instructed full-time at Shamrock Acres Training Center until she purchased Invisible Fence of Greater Louisville in 1996. While with Invisible Fence, she trained the majority of the dogs to the fence, which numbered in the 1000’s! Six years later, she sold Invisible Fence and opened Alpaca Knights, an alpaca breeding farm in Simpsonville, KY.
In the fall of 2011, The Dog Spot opened as a dog training facility, with just 6 boarding runs. By 2013, it had morphed into a full time boarding facility as the demand was so high.
Dog training continues to be a big part of Carol’s life, but now her passion is agility. She is currently competing in agility with her Border Collie, “Ziggy” and Border Collie/Whippet mix-“Typhoon”. Her newest doggie addition is a Golden Retriever, “Livy”, who will soon be starting some agility and dock diving training, too.
