About Us

Meet Kinley Eyl, the passionate owner and founder of K9 Care Cincy—and the heart behind our personalized, professional pet care service. With a lifelong love for animals and a strong background in Equine Science, Kinley brings both knowledge and compassion to everything we do.

She has been training dogs for several years and is an active member of a local dog training club, continuously expanding her skills to better serve pets and their families. In addition to her hands-on experience, Kinley is a certified instructor in Canine, Feline, and Equine CPR and First Aid through Pet Emergency Education, ensuring she’s prepared to handle any situation with calm expertise.

K9 Care Cincy was born out of a simple truth: we know what it’s like to worry about your pets while you’re away. That’s why Kinley started this company—to provide high-quality, customized care that gives pet owners true peace of mind. Whether it’s daily visits, specialized care, or just extra love and attention, Kinley and the K9 Care team treat every animal like their own.

At K9 Care Cincy, your pets are not just clients—they’re family.

 FAQs

  • At K9 Care Cincy, we understand that your dog is a beloved member of your family, and we treat them with the same level of care and attention. Our experienced team is passionate about providing personalized care tailored to your dog's unique needs. We offer a range of services, including pet sitting, dog walking, and specialized care for dogs with specific requirements. With flexible scheduling, transparent pricing, and a deep commitment to safety and well-being, we ensure that your dog enjoys a comfortable and enriching experience every time. Choose K9 Care Cincy for reliable, loving care you can trust.

  • Yes, your dog needs to be vaccinated to use our services. The state of Ohio requires that all dogs have a rabies vaccination. If we are boarding your dog in your home, the minimum requirement is a rabies vaccination. However, for the safety and health of all dogs in our care, as well as our staff, we strongly support keeping your dog up to date on all vaccinations. If your dog will be walked, trained, joining our daycare, or boarding with us, they must be current on all vaccinations.

    A copy of your dog’s vaccination records is required before any service begins. Please consult with your veterinarian to ensure your dog meets these requirements.

  • Boarding with us means your dog stays in our home rather than in a traditional kennel. We provide a safe, cozy, and family-like environment where your pup is treated like one of our own.

    To start, we schedule a meet and greet, and you’ll fill out a new client form so we can get to know your dog’s needs. During the meet and greet, we’ll learn about their routine, discuss any special care, and confirm the booking.

    You’re welcome to bring anything that will make your pet happy and comfortable during their stay. We do ask that you bring your dog’s food and food bowl so we can keep their feeding routine consistent. Please note that we do not allow bones or tennis balls for safety reasons.

    Throughout their stay, we follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and bedtime habits so they feel right at home. You’ll also receive updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

  • Yes, our yard is fully enclosed with a 6-foot privacy fence and a gate that locks securely from the inside. This gives dogs plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy fresh air in a safe environment. We regularly inspect the fence to make sure there are no gaps, holes, or other safety concerns.

    When your dog is outside, they are always supervised by our team to ensure they stay safe and comfortable. The fenced yard is perfect for potty breaks, play sessions, and exercise, but we also make sure dogs get the additional attention, walks, and stimulation they need throughout the day.

  • Yes, we do! In addition to dogs, we provide drop-in boarding for cats and also care for a variety of exotic pets, including hamsters, lizards, bunnies, and fish. We tailor our services to meet the unique needs of each pet, ensuring they receive safe, attentive, and loving care.
