This place is awesome! I have two dogs with special needs, I guess you could say. One of them is claustrophobic, but she is completely comfortable in their larger rooms. The other one is an alpha female and doesn't usually get along with other dogs or even with men. But, she actually likes to go to Austin Pet Ranch and has even been able to play with other dogs there! And since they have so many play yards, they can always keep her in a yard with just her sister if they don't feel completely confident with putting her with another dog. We have always been pleased with Austin Pet Ranch, but this Thanksgiving, they went above and beyond with their customer service. We needed to ask my parents to pick the dogs up for us because of the timing of when we were returning to town right before the Thanksgiving holiday, and the staff was so accommodating for my parents! They brought the dogs out to my parents' car for them because they are elderly and we didn't want the dogs pulling on them, and we wanted to keep them safe from COVID. I was so impressed that they would do this. They are always so nice and laid back about everything. I highly recommend them. read more

When I arrived to drop off my 2 dogs, I was thrilled to have found a new boarding facility. There was 2 younger employees that were so professional and polite. They let me see where they would be and it made me comfortable leaving them for a 3 day weekend. When I came to pick them up, my experience was not so great. I was charged for 4 nights when we were only there for 3. When I questioned the over payment, the older gentlemen who I guess is the owner, said he was too busy to figure it out, proceeded to tell me his computer did not lie. He finally gave me cash back for the extra night. I really wanted to know the payment structure as I planned on bringing them back later in the year for a week or even longer while on vacation. I didn't want the amount to be a surprise again. Maybe a computer error? He proceeded to wad up my receipt and print out. I told him was being kind of rude and that maybe I wouldn't come back. He said, "well then don't"! I walked out the door and he came out yelling at me and even chased me around the car and even to my car door!!!!! I was not willing to argue with him and was a little frightened by his outrage. He yelled even louder, "Don't f'n come back here again"! I should have called the cops. What a nasty man! I hope my pups were treated nicer than that! read more

This place is AMAZING! We love taking our dog Walker here! The staff is so friendly and treats our dog like he is part of the family. We bring him here often and they love him as much as Walker loves them! read more

Our dog is always so excited to go to the Pet Ranch! The staff is very friendly and you can tell that they take great care of the pups while they're there! Great price-$27/night and our pup has a blast and comes home happy read more

This place is the BEST!! We started using Austin Pet Ranch shortly after they opened 10 years ago with our two senior dogs. They have never been anything but kind to our dogs. Along with also mourning the lost we felt of losing both dogs suddenly 3 years ago, 10 days apart. Now our two rescued dogs are always in their compassionate care when we are out of town. Did I say out of town??? I figured that we have used them regularly 13+ times a year, With 145+ times since they opened. Unequivocally, I trust Austin Pet Ranch for the care that they have provide my dogs. They are worth the drive. read more

Place stunk & looked too much like the SPCA. Not at all for me & the dog I love. Paws down.

This place is totally coo! Our sweet pup Peaches is quite a handful, lots and lots of energy, so we have a hard time trying to find a friend to watch her when we go out of town. Austin Pet Ranch was recommended to me by a friend that takes her dog there too. We used them when we went to Hawaii earlier this summer. The boarding rates are great and the dogs get lots of attention. When I picked her up she was running around the office playing with some of the owners dogs. Peaches seemed very happy when we picked her up! We will definitely use their services again and you should try them for your pups too! read more

Maybe it was just the person working there that day, but when I asked if I could see where the dogs would be staying, I was told that I wasn't allowed to go back there. : ( read more

I take my dogs Dopey and Tinkerbell here. Austin Pet ranch does as a good as job as a person can expect boarding them. They have employees that like dogs and work hard. The owner runs the business very professionally, which I appreciate. Having a quality staff goes a long way in any business, Austin pet ranch seems to understand that. read more

Austin Pet Ranch - Pet Boarding Near Me - Austin, Texas

Nice facility. Well maintained and well organized. The owner appears to love dogs and spent time with my 2 dogs seeing how they interact in the play area. read more

We had never boarded our dog before, and were unsure about the whole process. We wanted to make sure he could eat his own food without a charge (sensitive stomach) and sleep on his own bed (familiarity for him) and also get good levels of activity with other dogs. We also didn't want to spend a million dollars. This place fit the bill and then some. Our dog was happy to see the people there, who were just as happy to meet him, let him sniff around, and show him to his room. When we picked him up, he was happy and well-exercised. We went last January, and I thought I wrote a review then, but noticed now (when recommending this place to a friend) that I hadn't. read more

My dog, Flora, loves this place! She's a frequent guest of the Pet Ranch, and every time I drop her off, she runs up to the door- no hesitation. It makes life easier for me knowing she's excited about where she's going. All of the staff here are great: Super friendly and you can tell they are genuinely good people, and most importantly, dog-lovers, so I can vacation with ease knowing she's well cared for. Thanks guys, for always taking exceptional care of my dog! read more

I've taken my 2 Chihuahuas to APR 3 times now, each for a week or more. Those Chihuahuas are always so happy to go. One time, they were the only small dogs in boarding, so they got 100% of the couch potato time. They were so spoiled when we picked them up. Boarding can be scary for any puppy. APR does as well as anyone, and their facilities are the best I've seen. We will continue to use APR. read more

Without a doubt, best boarding option in the ATX region! Well worth the drive!

We love APR! My sweet guy seriously starts going crazy in the car when he figures out where we are going. I knew I would never board him anywhere else after our first time. They are super flexible with drop off and pick up times which makes my life so much easier. They are priced better than anywhere else and my pup comes home happy and exhausted after each trip. My favorite part is that they also allow me bring in his own bed, a toy and food so that my pup feels right at home. APR will treat your furry friend just like you would. My mind is at ease knowing my best friend is being so well taken care of when I'm away! read more

I love Austin Pet Ranch. Yes, it's a little out of the way and a little hard to find, but totally worth it!! Every time I drive up the owner (David) comes out to greet me and always remembers my dog's name, which is tricky since his name is Boaz! The place is HUGE with plenty of room for the dogs to run and play. The field is full of trees so it's shaded in the hot summer and fenced off in different sections so my little dog doesn't get trampled by the big ones! And what prompted me to write this review is, I last minute needed a place for Boaz to stay over Christmas (and by last minute I mean December 23!) and Austin Pet Ranch offered to take him!! They didn't have room, but I had his crate with me and they offered to keep him behind the desk! I can't say enough positive things about this place. read more

We have been very pleased with APR since we began taking our dogs there almost 2 years ago. Dave, the owner, is great and really cares for the dogs! They are very accomodating to our dogs and their schedule, which was pretty high maintenance when they were puppies....like eating 5x per day! Our dogs jump from the truck to get to the front door of APR as quickly as they can and they are exhausted when we pick them up....which we view as a good thing. We've never done the doggie daycare, but for boarding and grooming, we have nothing but great experiences here. read more

What Julie L. said? Coulda been my dog. But no, David and his staff are good with many high-energy dogs that don't easily trust others. When we pulled up for his last weekend stay, the owner recognized Pete-the-dog and immediately greeted us both by name, even though it was months since he was last there. Pete recognized the place and sure, his excitement was a bit apprehensive, but overall happy even though I've left him there for time spans ranging from a few hours to ten days. Pete-the-dog is happy to play outside in their fenced yards, sleep on his bed in a clean and spacious kennel, take walks along the creek. Whether its for a day or almost two weeks, I'm happy and comfortable leaving my dog in their care. read more

We take our two dogs every weekday to "school". They are excited to go. All the staff loves our dogs and I can see it's mutual. Sometimes it's hard to get them to leave. read more

I truly can't say enough great things about this place. The staff was super helpful. I'm a self proclaimed nervous nelly and they put me at ease. When I picked my dog up after a long weekend. She ran back in and gave David a hug and some full face kisses. I couldn't be happier! read more

Austin Pet Ranch - Doggie daycare - Pet Boarding Near Me - Austin, Texas

On a recent trip we boarded at Austin Pet Ranch. When we dropped him off we pulled out all his recent paperwork. Vet records ect. and we're told that they "didn't sweat the small stuff". I take the health of my dog very seriously and if they are not checking vet records it raises a serous health concern. Also when we got home we noticed that he now has fleas. Thanks for the fleas Austin Pet Ranch. Avoid this place if you care about the health of your pet. read more

I scheduled my dog to attend dog daycare there. I wanted her to have play time with other dogs. The man working at the counter was nice. However, all they let the dogs do during daycare is play with one other dog outside and unsupervised. They also rotate the dogs in/out, so your dog only gets a few hours of play time with one maybe two dogs. After spending the day there, our dog came home tired and seemingly happy. The next day she threw up all day long...we assume she got into something while they left her outside unattended to during the day. I would not ever take my dog back there. read more

Terrible place! I picked up my dog there and he had mats on both ears and an ear infection. I couldn't believe they didn't brush the dog while he was there while I was out of town. And he also had lost 5lbs when I picked him up. Don't recommend this place at all! read more

We started taking our dogs here shortly after they opened. We were a little nervous at first, having no experience with them. I toured the facility before we took our dogs their and it looked great. The rooms are very large and the dogs are often out playing with other dogs. We always board our dogs here and have turned many friends on to them as well. It is the only boarding facility my dogs don't want to leave!! read more

Great experience! I left both of my energetic pit mixes here for a 6-day trip last month and they came back home incredibly happy and healthy. The staff seemed to know them personally and offered me a tour of the facility as I was apprehensive when I dropped them off. They played every day (enough to wear them out), ate well, and seemed to have been treated excellently. Will definitely be back! read more

They took great care of our pets. We took Raisin our Dalmatian, Misty our chocolate Lab and our Maine coon cat Henry at the time. I love the owners and their helpers. They have always been extremely accommodating, friendly, and keep my pets safe and happy. My Dalmatian was considered a senior dog, we were gone on vacation Raisin got sick and they took great care of her and got her what she needed and phoned us immediately. I always recommend them to other friends and will continue to use them when needed. Thanks you Pet Ranch, it is extremely comforting to send my pets there. Rebecca Fanning read more

Our dog came back 5 lbs lighter (she did not need to lose any weight), with a rash all over her belly, a cyst on her paw and ticks. Never again. read more

The best thing about APR is their willingness to meet the needs of their clients. They have been very flexible with us with regards to pick-up and drop off times without any extra hidden fees. I have visited a number of dog boarding facilities in the Southwest Austin area, and I find they have the best overall facility. Dogs get plenty of exercise, socialization, as well as rest. I will continue to board my crazy lab mix at APR whenever we go out of town. read more

I gave two stars because my dog made it out alive. While they were a pleasant faculty...they told me when I called to check up that she wasn't allowed to play with the other dogs...which I was confused by since she's always been social at other boarding places(mind you she had been boarded at the same place multiple times at our previous home). My biggest concern was when she came home she had a sore from her choker collar around her neck(mind you, while it may be frowned upon she is a strong, wild dog, and will pull you across a room, and it is only for walks/too and from places ona leash) looking as if she was pulled a little too hard. I mean I walk her often....never had had a sore and maybe I'm just wrong but common sense says take choke collar off when not walking. We payed for a bath...can't say she had one I would assume no based off times she's gotten groomed before. And she had a bizarre rash on her belly which has now cleared up. She also acted like a beaten dog upon being home. A behavior she has never had after being boarded. Again not her normal behavior from being boarded. Luckily after about twelve hours of being home she began to act like herself again. I can say the staff was nice...they were fine but will not bring our dog back. Only hope this can help other pet owners. read more

I have to say I hardly ever write reviews....I just don't take the time. This place inspired me to step out and say what I thought especially after reading one of the other reviews. I have 2 small dogs that can be quite a handful. This is our 5th or 6th time to stay at the ranch and our dogs couldn't be happier...everytime!!! The staff knows their stuff and have always bent over backwards to accommodate me and my pups. I love the fact that they get to go out into play yards instead of on concrete slabs, a true ranch experience with towering Oak trees in the yards, horses to the right, a cow to the left, something for them to look at instead of concrete. You should check the place out for yourself, I picked my dogs up today and they were giving an in depth tour of the place the couple booked on the spot. I know no place is perfect, but if your dogs are happy and well taken care of and want to get out of the car to go in, isn't that whats important. Thanks again for loving my dogs as much as I do:) :) :) read more
