My family and I have been consistently using Hound for Hound's services 3-5 times a week for the past year, and I must say, Matt has been nothing short of phenomenal. Living in East Austin, we've seen our fair share of unpredictable weather, but Matt's commitment never wavers. Rain or shine, cold or hot - he's there, ensuring our beloved Buca gets his much-needed walks and care. What truly sets Matt apart is his reliability and honesty. He's not just a dog walker; he's become a part of our extended family. This was especially evident during our month-long trip out of the country. Austin faced some serious freeze days, and it was over the Christmas holidays, yet Matt was there, braving the elements to make sure Buca was well looked after. He didn't just walk Buca; he provided him with the love and attention he missed from us. He would would share GPS tracking and pics of Buca daily and to the extent of taking off his gloves in the freeze to snap videos while he was walking him to share with us Hiring Matt from Hound for Hound is a decision you won't regret. He's a true professional who goes above and beyond, not just in his duties, but in his genuine care for the pets he looks after. We are eternally grateful for his services and cannot recommend him enough. If you're seeking someone who will treat your pet with the same love and care as you do, look no further than Matt and Hound for Hound. Thank you Matt, Buca & Conway Family

He is an EXTREMELY anxious and cautious boy that takes his time when warming up to new people. Not only are they patient with him, but are happy to provide me with updates and notes whenever I request it. To my surprise, Noodle has THRIVED at BHV and has put my mind at rest for my future boarding needs. I am SO grateful Noodle has found a safe second home at BHV. Because of their tremendous 5 star care they provide to their Southern doggo clients, they decided to open up their hearts to even more dogs at their new North Location BHV TOO. Any owner would be lucky enough to have their dog at daycare or boarding for either location, so if you can't get in at the South Location, it's definitely worth your while to send your pet to their BRAND new facility at their North Location!! Thank you BHV team! -Marisa and Noodle

Sara leaned in hard to the lies…read more The second time she was hired to watch my two dogs overnight, she skipped the entire first day and night then excessively lied about it. One pup slept outside in 45 degree weather. She spent 5 minutes with them at the "overnight visit" even though she confirmed details the day she was supposed to start. Perks of having a smart home or security system is you know when someone comes in or out of your house, turns on lights, walks by a sensor, etc. I was out of town and there was no activity happening at the house after 18 hours. I called and reached her on the third try. Her whole lie was things were going as planned, that she accessed my house using a physical key on day 1 because the smart lock wasn't working. However, home activity shows she arrived for the first time at 5:30am on day 2 and made multiple failed attempts with the smart lock. No need to keep using the keypad when it failed the day before, right? Day 1 failed entries would have registered just as day 2 failed entries did...if they'd happened. The dogs hadn't been fed based on the servings of food that had been left out. The bed hadn't been slept in. When I called to express concern about the 5 min visit- she started a nonsense story that she'd taken the dogs to her house bc she couldn't get into mine (yes, you would have to get into my house to get one of my dogs). She later said I misunderstood what she was saying. On the call, she was just waking up from a dead sleep (before 7:30am) but admitted she wasn't at my house. She had the audacity to end our call after I cancelled the remainder of services, text me exhaustively throughout the day about how I'm blindly trusting tech, that my dogs are challenging and it's "silly" to start over when all petsitting roads lead to her anyway. She was "concerned" over me probably not being able to find someone to take care of them after I fired her in the middle of my trip, harping on her 13 years of experience and reputation. Incredibly immature. It's jarring to be lied to so hard, she lost all credibility. Even after I explained my concerns to her and sent her activity logs- all she had to say was I'm sorry you feel that way. She also threw in she didn't care about a bad review. Good riddance.

I have an elderly dog who has opinions about *everything*, and he's a rescue with a traumatic past so he can also be anxious and skittish, but he absolutely loves Park and Bark.

Park and Bark Mobile Grooming have groomed my dog's fur for over 4 years now and the quality of their work has never once declined. My dog always looks like he's ready to win Best in Show at the fanciest dog show after Park and Bark groom him. I had given them a 5 star review before and am coming back to update my review because I can't stop singing their praises; I would give Park and Bark 10 stars if I could.
