Craig and Kristin are, in my opinion, the best dog walkers of Austin/the USA. Dog walker isn't really a satisfactory title, but I can't really think of a word that describes all the awesome things they do! Pick-up and drop-off service, hikes in the best parks of Austin, awesome crate-free boarding, socialization, and loving training,all with probably the biggest dog-lovers I have ever met. Kristin and Craig will change your dog's demeanor simply by adding structured exercise and socialization to their routine. Especially if your dog is anything like mine was. My pup, Annabelle, is feisty and enthusiastic, to say the least. I met Craig when Annabelle was under a year old and he didn't even flinch when he met her and saw just how crazy she was. B is a changed pup and I am so lucky to have had people I can trust to work with and care for my dog. I just moved away from Austin and I was very sad to find that there is nothing like Doggy by Nature in the Dallas area. I used to drop her off for the weekend if I went out of town for a spur-of-the-moment trip or even if I just had a busy weekend. She was always so excited to see him at the front door and she slept for hours and hours when she got back. Doggy by Nature is the best kept secret in Austin. They send you pictures of your dog on Facebook and send you updates all the time. Talk about peace of mind. They board all the dog's crate-free too, which is very cool.
Basically, Craig and Kristin treat your dog as if they were their own, whether it's for daycare or boarding. If you go on vacation and board with them, your dog will be on vacation too with DBN! read more
