Feedback From Our Four-Legged Friends

Cooper the Dog loves Austin Dogtown Dog boarding and daycare

“As a professional Greyhound, I take my dog daycare and boarding job very seriously. It’s a full day of rigorous duties: supervising playtime, zooming with colleagues, and enforcing nap breaks. Occasionally, I even schedule a spa treatment (bath included). By the time my shift ends, I’m thoroughly spent—proof of a job well done. Highly recommend this workplace for any canine looking for fulfilling employment!”

Cooper

Roxy the dog loves Austin Dogtown Dog boarding and daycare

“My parents sent me to the best place in town to play with my friends.

It has pool time, snacks, and nap time. Sometimes they make you dress up in ridiculous costumes for a prize and make you take pictures but it makes my momma happy so I don’t complain. I’m super excited when it’s time to go home, that I run out the door and into my mom’s car so I can tell her all about my fun day.”

Roxy

Appa the dog loves Austin Dogtown Dog boarding and daycare

“When I first started at Austin Dogtown, I was scared of every wagging tail, but now I can sniff noses and hang out without feeling overwhelmed.

It’s like the humans at Austin Dogtown have taught me how to be brave!”

Our Commitment to Your Dog's Growth

At Austin Dogtown, we’ve redefined what quality dog care means. Through structured socialization and positive reinforcement, we create an environment where dogs develop confidence, social skills, and joy. Since 2006, we’ve guided thousands of dogs through our proven approach, giving both pets and their owners lasting peace of mind. Our mission drives everything we do: provide exceptional care in an environment where dogs can thrive naturally, supported by clear boundaries and expert guidance. It’s not just about keeping dogs safe and happy—it’s about helping them become their best selves. ​​

With us, it’s all about the dogs.

Why Choose Austin Dogtown for Your Boarding, Daycare, or Grooming Needs

Expert Leadership in Action

Our owners don’t just oversee—they’re on the floor daily, bringing 33+ years of animal behavior expertise to every interaction. This hands-on involvement ensures consistent, quality care that exceeds industry standards.

Purposeful Open-Play Design

Our thoughtfully designed 7,000+ sq ft facility allows dogs to socialize naturally in supervised groups. We rotate activities between indoor and outdoor areas, providing the perfect balance of physical exercise and mental enrichment.

Around-the-Clock Peace of Mind

Your dog’s safety is our priority 24/7. Unlike most facilities, we maintain an onsite staffer during off-hours for bedtime bathroom breaks, as well as to ensure immediate response capability for emergencies for our boarding guests.

The Power of Positive Structure

We’ve perfected the balance between freedom and guidance. Through positive reinforcement and clear boundaries, dogs develop confidence and social skills while having fun—creating better behavior that extends beyond our walls.

Hear from our happy humans

“Caicos is a nervous dog that had a hard time warming up to others. Now, he is a completely different dog! He’s so much more comfortable playing with new dogs and bravely goes up to strangers when off leash.

He used to melt down when he had to leave me. Now, I feel so confident leaving him for dog daycare and boarding.”

Jada T.

“We’ve been using Austin Dogtown since 2007, and after daycare, the hounds are like a phone with 1% battery—they find their bed, power down, and nothing short of a bacon-scented apocalypse will reboot them.

I’m really thankful for all you do. I really believe you enrich the hounds’ lives.”

John M.

“Our dogs are very well socialized and comfortable around other dogs. It’s absolutely because of their daycare days at Austin Dogtown.

We somehow managed to choose the best dog daycare and boarding facility from the beginning and have never tried any other place!”

Suzy H.
