Lucky's Paw has been our go-to for dog daycare and boarding for over four years now, and there's…read moretruly no place like it. It's our dogs' home away from home. They literally know what days they're going and can't get out of the car fast enough when we pull up! Alla and Tom, the owners, are the absolute sweetest and love our dogs like their own. You can feel how much they care, from the daily playtime updates on Facebook and Instagram to the thoughtful birthday and holiday celebrations they do for the pups. The photos they share are always so fun and make us smile every time. We even found our sweet mini golden retriever through them, and he's been the greatest addition to our family. We honestly can't imagine life without him. If you're looking for a place where your dogs will be loved, cared for, and excited to go to, Lucky's Paw is it. We're forever grateful for this special place!

We love Dog Camp SOOOO much! Callie had never been away from home when she came to Dog Camp. And…read moreshe's not an easy pup, she's had a rough life. They worked with her slowly, found friends she liked, tried her with several different groups. Well, until she met her friend Goose. Now they tell us if Goose isn't coming because we have to talk about whether or not she still wants to go! But she loves her human friends there too! Hands down best group of people and wonderful set up for my girl.

The booking process is easy, and the team is very responsive and has even accommodated last-minute scheduling requests. The staff is amazing and you can tell they really love what they do. I highly recommend Hill Country Pet Resort to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy place to board their pets. It is so great knowing our pets are in good hands, and we are always comfortable leaving them with such a caring team.

We boarded our Mini Aussie for a night here while we were in town for a wedding…read more The resort was clean and well kept. The doggies get plenty of play time and were grouped by deposition and size. We even were texted a few pictures of her playing in the yard, by the staff. The boarding price was reasonable considering we were in the Austin area. We would recommend this place as our experience was beyond pleasant.

Being a dog sitter I have to go and pick up a dog I'm sitting for today. The one thing I have to…read moresay is that this is a very fun place for dogs it looks like they're all happy in there and you can actually view how your dog is doing with other dogs where there's cameras everywhere. Which is pretty epic I think and the one thing I would say is when I went to the front they didn't want to hand me over the dog so they're being very careful which is a good thing to hand me over the dog I'm sitting for today. As a matter of fact she was being very careful given me the dog to take with me. Even though they know my name and they knew I was coming in today. Furthermore they had his name wrong and they called him a different name which I corrected them. So other than that I have sat this particular dog several times in the past and I always pick them up at Dogtopia, love this! I also noticed they do have dog treats in the very front and a jar. That was a nice gesture to give treats to visitors and their dogs bringing them in or taking them. As a dog lover myself definitely would recommend this location they're very careful with your dog and make sure they're treated with great respect and treated very well. They even send you home with a report card of how the dog did while being at this Cool place! One negative I have to point out they have a school right across the way for children so they do tend to have a lot of parking and 1 guy that was backing up almost hit me today. I had to yell at him but he seemed like he might have been a little off. Picking up his children. So that is the only negative I have to say is that when people are picking up their children you could back into them so you have to be very careful at this location. Other than that I'm sure I'll be back again for another dog sitting job. Happy yelping guys!

I've had two horrible instances at this location where my dog has been seriously injured with zero…read morecommunication from staff. The first time I gave them a pass and because the owner first hand handled getting my dog to an emergency vet to get staples - I gave them a second chance. Now the same dog has come back from boarding needing stitches above his eye with ZERO explanation or acknowledgement from any of the staff. The staff is not trained and should not be handling peoples pets. My beautiful husky now has a permanent scar above his eye and the staff had no idea how it happened and never got him treatment so I had to take him to my vet and pay to get him stitched. I'm appalled at the lack of care these kids are giving the dogs in their care.

This is the best place in Austin for doggy day care and boarding. The people are super caring,…read moreloving, and enthusiastic, and it shows in all interactions.My dog goes to day care as often as possible. Sometimes I've boarded her, which usually causes her to be reluctant the next time we go for day care. Not at Pups and Pals! She is so excited every morning! The daily schedule allows for group play and indoor rest. The staff evaluates the dogs' personalities, size, and energy levels before putting them in a group. Playtime includes best friends, lots of cuddles and kisses, pools in the summer, and always playscapes. They go out anywhere between 6-8 times a day, with breaks in their air conditioned suites. The building is super nice, very new, and the play areas have K9 grass that keeps their paws nice and clean. I especially like that it is hosed every night. BTW there's a groomer onsite! Just a heads up -- it's hard to see the marquis from the 1st street entrance. You really need to know what you're looking for! April and I give Pups and Paws 4 paws up!

I heard about Boozy Bark from someone else and I figured I'd give it a try. I wasn't sure how she would do since she is older and pretty small (chi), but seeing the pics Boozy Bark posted on fb/insta gave me such peace of mind that she was in great hands. She will be going regularly (2 days/wk) as they offer a reasonably-priced 10-day package. The people who work here take the health of the dogs very seriously which I appreciate. Thank you so much for taking care of my Pixie girl so that she isn't home alone.

Earlier this year, my pup Ryder was viciously attacked by two large dogs who slipped out of loose…read moredog collars as we passed them at the park. Fortunatley he healed well after two weeks of dedicated TLC but the trauma of the experience remained with both him and me well after Ryder physically healed. I reached out to Matt for virtual dog training appointments to help us through that, and his guidance and great wisdom around dog psychology and behavior and deep empathy for Ryder and in general made such a huge impact. I learned from Matt how to help Ryder through his fear and trauma and how to recognize when he was experiencing trauma (for example, he developed a new and strong fear of rumbling engines). By applying Matt's empathetic practices, Ryder has become much less fearful, is no longer afraid of rumbling engines or playing with other dogs and he's back to his old happy, playful, super enthusiastic and friendly self!! :) Matt also greatly helped my dog Ellie through the excessive anxiety that resulted from my marital separation and helped us learn what an impact the breaking of that social bond had on her and how to address it! We now give her the extra attention she needs when doing hand offs to switch between homes. Thank you so much, Matt working with you has made a WORLD of difference in Ryder and Ellie's quality of life!! :)
