Welcome to Double K

A little country, a lot of love.

Since 2001 we have looked after pets for families all over South Central Indiana, tucked away on a quiet, scenic property near Hope. When your dog or cat checks in, they do not just board with us. They become part of our family, with all the comfort, attention, and play they would get at home.

We welcome every dog through our doors: all breeds, every personality, and unaltered dogs too. Bring the bed, the blanket, and the favorite toys. We will handle the belly rubs.

Room to run

All day to run, play, and just be a dog.

Five spacious outdoor play yards mean every guest gets real time to stretch their legs. From small group play with new pals to one-on-one games with our staff, dogs get exercise and attention 4 to 8 times a day. The country views are a nice bonus.

Why families choose us

The Double K difference.

Owner on the property

The owner lives just 300 feet away, so there is always someone who cares close by, day and night.

Tucked in every night

A late-night shift between 10 and 11 PM means a bedtime potty break, a snack, and a goodnight for every guest.

Security cameras

Cameras inside and outside the building keep watch over the whole facility around the clock.

Family owned & staffed

Double K is run by family and friends only, the same trusted faces every time you visit.

Peaceful country setting

A calm, scenic property with beautiful views: a quieter place to board than a busy in-town kennel.

Water 24/7

Fresh water is always available in the suite and outdoors, so no guest ever goes thirsty.

Comforts from home

Beds, blankets, and toys are all welcome. Prefer to travel light? We have cots and blankets ready.
