As a child, I grew up with a herd of cats and dogs, so I could be the ultimate fur mom except that,…read moreas an adult, I am allergic to cats and dogs with cat-like hair. However, this minor flaw does not keep me from shopping for friends with fur babies. Specifically, I was looking for a dog toy as a gift as Mud Puppies came highly recommended. Mud Puppies is located on Highway 620 in a shopping strip mall. The front desk staff greeted me warm and friendly. I was immediately offered assistance and pointed to an assortment of dog toys. In fact, I did not know that there were so many dog toys. In fact, momentarily I was paralyzed with fear of making a decision. After exploring some possibilities, I decided to defer my decision until I looked at one more place. Mud puppies also offers Playcare, just like day care for children but for dogs in addition to pet grooming and boarding. The team works with each dog's unique personality. Based on my interactions with the staff, I would feel comfortable leaving a dog with them.

We had such a wonderful experience with Second Home Boarding!…read more We boarded our two kitties. The owner, Julia is always quick to respond to my emails, which was super helpful when I was extremely busy trying to do literally five things at the same time. While our kitties were there, she sent us reports in text with photos of our kitties. It was really nice to know/see that our kitties were being taken care of. We looked at the same reports again and again since we missed our kitties so much. :) Julia seems to be very knowledgeable about cat behaviors and gave us good advice when we picked them up. Since everything went so smoothly, we actually came back again for cat daycare three days after the boarding. When we picked them up, it was before their pick-up/drop-off hours, but Julia was so nice and flexible; she let us pick them up early. Their website was easy to use. You can enter your pet's information into the system in advance uploading vaccination records and make reservations for day care/boarding. I would definitely recommend Second Home Boarding!!

Pam and her team and Paws Landing are GREAT!! My husband and I are "new" to having a puppy and…read moreresearched online the local places that had "doggy day care". We went to a couple of places, one even where you can watch on an app that was closer to us, but when we went to visit the place, we did not like the "vibe" of the place. When we took a tour (just call, and they will let you take a look at the facility before hand) of Paws Landing, we immediately felt great! We had our puppy for an half day "evaluation" with Durenda, which also made us feel at ease. She is marvelous!!! When we picked her up from that, she went over everything she did, and how she thought our puppy would do. They had her in a small yard first and let our puppy feel safe before they had her with the other dogs. I really like too, how they have the dogs separated into "small dogs", " large dogs" and "very active dogs". She has a great team working with her, watching over them, and most importantly taking care of them all day. They will always send you a text and email to confirm your reservation, which is great. They go inside and outside to play all day. If they go "all day" they will get a 2-hour rest, so they get a break from all the fun! But, believe me, when you pick your dog, they will be tired when they get home, which is "good thing"! Pam will send you pictures later via text of your dog, which is great to see at the end of the day. Now, that my dog has gone for awhile, she gets excited when we get there, and she is excited to see Pam and her team when I drop her off. Look no further for a great place for "doggy day care", Pam and her team will take VERY GOOD care of them, like they were one of their own!!!

I can't say enough good things about Paws Landing! The staff is extremely friendly and genuinely…read morecares about every pet that comes through their doors--they always greet my dog (and me) with such warmth and enthusiasm. The facility is spotlessly clean, which gives me total peace of mind when leaving my pet there. It's also in a super convenient location off US-183, easy to get to from Leander and surrounding areas. What really sets them apart is the 24-hour staffing--they provide round-the-clock care for boarded animals, so I never have to worry about my dog being alone overnight. We've used them for both daycare and overnight boarding multiple times, and it's been a fantastic experience every single time. I highly recommend Paws Landing for anyone looking for reliable, loving care for their furry family members!

We just moved here and had a less than stellar experience with another doggie daycare…read more Amy did such a great job explaining how they work - the scheduling, assessments, training etc. and has been super patient with all my "nervous mom" insanity. My dog had some hesitation at first but is always happy to arrive there now. The place looks clean and the staff is very professional. The only thing I don't like is that they don't allow the dogs to play after they get a bath. I get it but I also figure she will be cleanER...but that's me and I know it probably creates problems with other people. Overall a super nice staff that seem to genuinely love the pups they work with! Not cheap - but as with most things, you get what you pay for.

We have used them for years for boarding when we went away on vacation, but recently we had my father-in-law move in with us while he was on hospice. Winston was not a big fan of his nurse, so we put him in daycare at Happy Tails. It was the best thing that ever happened to Winston. They were patient, kind, and always loving towards him. He loves going there and jumps into the car when you tell him where he's going. We will be forever grateful for the peace of mind that Happy Tails gave us during a very tough time in our lives.

We've been going to them for a couple of years now for my English Golden Retriever, Bock Jr. (7 years old), and now our new baby Atlis as well. I have nothing but good things to say about their overall care! Very friendly and comfortable environment! Also, a major plus: I got a pretty big discount on all of Atlis's surgical procedures (which were done during one surgery), making it a very reasonable price, in my opinion, given the quality of care and LOVE! Needless to say, brother and brother are happy and healthy boys thanks to the marvelous staff at Four Paws at Four Points!

Jessica and her team will absolutely change your life. My husband and I were very nervous about…read moreleaving our "child" with a trainer, but after lots of research (and crossing paths with Jessica several times), we finally decided to meet her. A close friend had already used her services for training and weekly pack walks, and their dog loved it. That gave us the confidence to take the leap. From our first visit, Jessica was patient, kind, and answered every question we threw at her. She's passionate about animals, and it shows. She has the perfect mix of love and structure (helping dogs gain confidence) while also teaching them to respect their owners as pack leaders. Our one-year-old Brittany had a rough start in life, so we knew training would be extra important. With Jessica's guidance, she can now return when called, walk calmly on leash, hold a "place" command for long stretches, and thankfully...no longer jumps up on everyone. The changes have been incredible. The biggest thing we learned is that it's not just about the dog--it's about the owners putting in the consistency and following through with Jessica's instructions at home. Do that, and you'll see results. We're singing her praises to family and friends. Our dog absolutely adored her, and so did we. 10/10 recommend...life changing!
