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!

We've been taking our beloved shelties (Leila and Olive) to Pups and Pals for 5+ years and we could…read morenot be happier. While nobody likes to board their pups, they make us feel like they are being taken care of and mostly importantly - loved. The entire staff is incredible and goes above and beyond. A shoutout to Karina, Erin, Tiffany, Dani who always make our ladies feel special while we are out of town. Thank you for everything and for being an example of how a business should be run.

I really appreciate the communication Mark and his team have set up. Very clear and always followed set of rules. They also have an app which is very easy to use and helps me stay organized.

I have a very anxious 6 mon old Laggoto Romagnolo and I asked them to help reinforce good manners as my pup and I work with a trainer to get these mastered. Dog Socialization is critical for him. He had a broken leg at 10 weeks old and could not walk or put weight on it for 9 weeks and so his start was a little unconventional in socialization. I know he gets his fair share of play and what puppy doesn't like play? Since I did travel for work a great deal and as Covid subsides, my travel will start to come back. My pup has stayed overnight and I feel super confident as a worried Mom that he is well taken care of during his stay.

Remington Pet Ranch is owned by one of the kindest vets I've ever met (even though we didn't meet…read moredirectly). I had a challenging circumstance with a sick cat and the team was kind in working through challenges to figure out if boarding made sense. The owner reached out to me a week after even though we ended up not being able to board my cat to check in and provide some more tips on her condition. It meant a lot to have someone care that deeply about the wellbeing of my family and I imagine they bring the same level of care to all that they do. P.S. - the facilities look gorgeous!

This location is new and she has been established in the area for 8 years. She had an opportunity to lease a large fenced in area and decided to expand. Dexter has been back 3 times and freaks out when we pull up. He is a golden mix and actually yelps with excitement. The hours are reasonable and their prices fair. He gets a little stinky from running around all day, but she offered to spray him with some dog cologne.

They have kept us updated with pictures, videos, and texts. They even hand fed him when he didn't want to eat (which he usually does when he is not with us). My husband was made immediately comfortable when dropping our baby off and they have kept in touch with our concerns. They truly treat your pets like their own. We wish we lived here so we could bring our Dachshund back for play care often. You won't be disappointed.

THEY LOST MY DOG…read more Dropped my dog, Franklin, off on Sunday 11/27. Jason texted me Thursday 12/1 explaining they lost my dog... on Sunday, so it took him four days to contact me after losing my dog. Jason did not do enough when it came to searching for my dog. Did not post online. Did not hang up flyers. Did not help with search party. We recovered my dog after 12 days, but Jason and Agape Acre Kennels have yet to pay for the costs for losing my dog (flyers and vet visit). Overall, Jason is a nice guy who means well but he is not good at maintaining his kennel. There is no double gate system for dogs to enter and exit safely. Jason's lack of action after losing my dog was egregious. He paid me lip service and effectively did nothing. Also I found out they lost another dog a few weeks earlier, see screenshots from NextDoor and Facebook's Austin Lost and Found Pets.

If you treat your dog as family, don't bring them here…read more I relied on the good reviews here. But maybe those were the cases years ago. This is atleast to put a warning to anyone who is considering this kennel. Don't make the same poor judgement that we did when we leave our dog Dec 2022. Our dog is alive when we picked-up and that's my 1 star is for.

If you're reading this as a frustrated dog parent, look no further for any other trainer/ company…read more Absolutely go with Bark Busters! Amanda, our trainer is a genius. She showed me this video of a mama dog correcting her pups and this is what the leader of the pack (me) does. I'm basically mama grunting at them when they do anything out of line or any thing I want to correct. Amanda is super cool and personable and can show you so many ways to get your dogs in line. There's obviously more to it than just grunting so make you're appointment with this company!!! My dogs are happier dogs! My dogs don't have anxiety and IIIIIIIIII don't have anxiety. I can enjoy my dogs now! It's crazy. It's totally working! No treat or punish training. My Cooper is not fear barking and lunging at people and my other dog Hunny isn't separation anxiety barking outside when she can't see me. It took one water spray and a grunt before she came inside; I closed the door again and she quietly, patiently waited to come in until I let her. Some dogs are a little more stubborn (cooper has been surprisingly) but it's working. Hunny fell in line immediately. My dogs aren't CRAZY! Amanda and I are working on leash training in 2 weeks. Potty/ crate training rn. No more pee pads. This is what I've been needing in my home. Thank you Amanda!
