Our boy Mo aka Molty aka Moshi has been coming to Walk ATX since 2022. As many of you, our doggo is…read moreour family and we want only the best of the best for him. It is difficult to find a doggy boarding/day care that provides such well rounded, holistic approach to pet care. We have used Walk ATX for boarding, day camp with pick up and drop off included, and for in home check ins with walks. As well as their add-ons like baths and fun photoshoots. Mo is a party animal - we are constantly training, working with him and we fill all of his needs. Yet he is an energetic, happy 2.5yo rescue from Austin Pets Alive. He is a foster win actually. He's always soooo excited when he realizes he's about to get dropped off at Walk ATX and he's welcomed with big smiles and a huge "Hi Mo!!!!!" by the passionate and hard working staff. Walk ATX does pack walks, outdoor playtime in their yard with staff assigned to different groups of dogs. I love that there's constant supervision and a structured day. Including rest/down time, which is just as important as to not overstimulate the doggos. It seems as if Walk ATX has only gotten better over the years. They've incorporated training, special add-ons, and cool adventures. Last time Mo stayed with them while we were in Costa Rica, Britton and the team were super attentive (Mo was on limited activity for the first few days per our vet), and even called to give an update, in addition to their daily updates via email and on their app "Time to Pet". I know Mo is cared for and looked after by a group of caring animal lovers.

This review is only based off of my experience/ first impressions and this business may work amazingly for your dog! Once I found Walk ATX it took me a while to get in contact with someone, called a couple times, left a voicemail, sent a couple emails -to no avail! Sent a dm on insta as a last resort and finally got in contact with someone! Yay! Erika helped me set up my account and went over daycare. Dropped my pup off for his first day! First impressions matter to me and as someone who is nervous I would have loved to see them greet my dog. Instead the woman at the front ( not sure her name - mullet - immediately went into a quick " take off the leash. What's his name? You'll get an update at 11" And then I watched her usher him straight to the backyard. No saying hi to the dog, no convo with me, no easing his nerves, no questions about him, no petting him, no introductions, nothing. I didn't love that, especially since it was our first time and it made me much more nervous to drop him off there. Around 11:00 I started to look for updates, none. Tried to call 3 times, no answer. Again this is his first day so not hearing anything on how he was doing and getting no photos - nerves then rose to an all time high. People are allowed to have bad days so will update this after a few more times. Just know the first day is not as informative or warm may not be as warm as you'd expect.

From the owner: Trusted In-Home Pet Care 30+ Years of Experience…read more Animals are my heart. I’ve been caring for pets for over 30 years, and I’m often called an animal (and child!) whisperer. I build trust quickly with even shy or anxious pets — only a couple in all these years haven’t warmed up right away. I believe animals thrive in familiar surroundings, so I come to your home to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. Whether you need daily visits, overnights, or just someone reliable while you’re away, I’m here to help your pets feel safe, loved, and understood. Specialties: • Dogs, cats, small animals (just ask!) • Senior & special-needs pets • Feeding, meds, walks, enrichment play • Clear communication & updates while you’re away If your fur babies are family, we’re going to get along great. I’d love to meet you and learn how I can support your pet’s unique needs.

I have owed these guys a review for awhile now. I have been using them for in-home pet-care visits…read morewhile I'm out of town for probably a couple of years. It's far and away the best choice for me: way, way cheaper than boarding, and easier on my little buddy, too, since he gets to stay in a familiar environment. Now, I only have one easy-peasy kittycat with no health issues or complicated routines - but *I* am sort of high-maintenance, in that I tend to be super disorganized and down-to-the-wire when planning my travel. They are not kidding when they say they guarantee availability for repeat clients. They have always been super responsive, kind, and reassuring in communications when I am feeling frazzled and worried about securing care at the last minute, and always ready to come in to save the day! Bella (Isabella) is not the owner but she runs the show day-to-day, I believe, and she is awesome, friendly, capable, and great at responding to messages. Depending on who does the actual service, I sometimes get photos and text updates and sometimes don't, but it has always gone well. Everyone seems trustworthy and like they are genuine animal-lovers. The only slight downside is that in the past they have seemed a little disorganized with invoicing/billing (repeat bills or not getting one at all) but now they have a new system that works very well. It also allows tips, which I appreciate, since I don't usually have cash on hand to leave as a tip. (Note for people new to pet-sitting services: you should leave a tip! I had to learn this.) Anyway as a single person, new to the area, and without a lot of people I feel comfortable asking to do favors for me, it is a great comfort to have this affordable service to rely on. I think I first chose Fur because they were willing to help me over a holiday, when other places said they wouldn't be able to accommodate a new client, and because of a Yelp offer. And I stuck around after using that coupon!

Above all, they have cared for our dogs just as much as we do. Whether they are caring for them at our home while we are out of town, or taking them to the park and play dates during a workday, we always rest easy knowing that they are in the very best of hands. We cannot recommend them highly enough, and will continue to rely on Fur Pet Care for as long as we have pets.

Avalon walks Milo a couple days a week and she always takes him to fun, interesting places. She always sends photos and videos. Pleasanton Pets has always been reliable and very easy to work with. Milo and I are so happy we found Pleasanton Pets. Thank you!!

I was confident that they would be in good hands. Gabi stayed in our home and sent pics of their escapades. When we returned home, Oreo and Sophie were happy to see us, (as if to say, 'happy to see you guys, but we really had fun with Gabi) but they weren't freaking out happy (as if to say, "thank God you came back and rescued us from this place of trauma) like they were when we picked them up from boarding. Being in their own space just makes all the difference. I will definitely use Pleasenton Pets in the future!

With not much notice, Nicole helped us out and had us covered for when we needed pet sitting. She asked all of the right questions, sent us photos every day of our babies (who we missed the entire time) and let us know (because we asked) when they were being cared for. I cannot tell you how much comfort it brought us to know that people like Nicole and her team were taking care of things while we took a whirlwind trip to get away on a Holiday week. I always say-you can't put a price tag on peace of mind but it's even better when that price tag is affordable and not breaking the bank for quality care! The price is extremely reasonable for the quality of care you get here. I'll never use anyone else and I can't recommend them enough! Seriously. Look no further!

Since he was little Mufasa has always had the same dog nanny to walk and play with him every weekday afternoon. My husband and I work long hours out of the house and believe allowing an animal to stay alone is unhealthy emotionally and physically for them. When we relocated from North Austin to South Austin, which is like moving to another city in most Austinities minds, we left behind Mufasa's dog nanny. THREE pet sitters later, all of who are on YELP, we found Capcity Pet Sitting. Capcity Pet Sitting has been a blessing to my peace of mind. I can tell when a person doesn't have the time to really put into caring for a dog and when a company is just in it for the transactional benefit. Will and Claire ENJOY taking care of our Mufasa and it shows in his attitude at the end of the day. Will and Claire always keep me updated on how the day went and any new behaviors I need to be aware of or keep an eye on. Mufasa is always played out by the time we get home and I know he's enjoyed his visit with Will and Claire. I hope we have the privilege of working with Capcity Pet Sitting for many years to come. I can't express enough how much we highly recommend them. Stephanie
