Dogs Around Austin

I cannot recommend Dogs Around Austin enough. The entire staff goes out of their way to make you and your dog feel special. My high-energy puppy squeals as we pull up to their parking lot, and has a blast during daycare, training or sleepovers. Their fear-free approach to daycare has made all the difference in allowing me to know my dog is both safe and having a blast while he’s there. It’s without a doubt his favorite place, and I’m so thankful we found them!!\n\nBig shoutout to Emily and her amazing team for providing nothing short of an amazing experience for both my pup and my family!

Dogs Around Austin is amazing and the staff truly cares about your pets. When I boarded my pups while on vacation they were very responsive! They let me know how my dogs were doing and even sent photo updates. I appreciate the love they show my dogs always. We have been using them for several months for both grooming & boarding. I highly recommend them to everyone.

Dogs Around Austin is the BEST daycare and boarding facility in Austin! We can’t imagine going anywhere else now.\n\nThey’re so wonderful with my dog, Zuko, and show him so much love. He’s always so excited to go see them at his favorite place!

Amanda is absolutely amazing! My story, hardly the fairytail.\n\nI was away for business, and had left my baby girl with people from wag.com, which unfortunately felt so sketchy that I couldn't handle it, focus or think.\n\nA friend of mine told me about Amanda/Dogs Around Austin, and suggested I get in touch. Amanda rescued my baby girl from the sketchy people (I'm told she arrived on the back of a dragon, but I didn't witness the dragon, or the fire breathing). She took my baby girl in, and the absolutely cutest things began to happen - pictures attached.\n\nIn short - I killed it on the business front, not having to worry about my little girl getting mistreated. I got constant updates about Zoe, and when I came back I got the happiest little puppy girl in the world back. Plus I met Carlton the pig, who Zoe slept with on the first day (yeah that picture is the first day). And Amanda and company.\n\nIf ever I have human children, I'd probably have Amanda watch them too. I'm not volunteering her for daycare, or suggesting you leave human babies with her, it's just I might.

I rescued my dog shortly after the sheltering-in-place mandate and quickly noticed how anxious/ threatened she felt around bigger dogs. I knew I needed to find an outlet for her to socialize with people and other dogs, along with finding a place to board her if it ever came to that. I have been a long-time follower of their Instagram channel and thought I would give them a try when I saw a post mentioned low-volume, minimum-kennel boarding and daycare services. Emily was super responsive and had me sold when she made time to chat with me about my dog's behavior and their services. I made her first appointment for daycare and anxiously awaited a phone call to explain how they needed to isolate her for being too aggressive or not being a fit. To my surprise, I received no phone call and they welcomed her to come back. I immediately booked another daycare appointment and could not believe how much improvement she's made in just 2 days of daycare! She's now approaching other dogs on our walks without any growling. I am relieved to have found a place where my dog can get exercise while working on her social skills. I highly recommend this business and will be a customer as long as I'm in Austin!
