Reason for this review: There's obviously a lot of trust involved in letting people take care of your pets and access your home. We have 100% confidence in Melissa and her team and want to share our experience because - when we were looking for long-term pet sitting - we didn't have any recommendations to help us. Five-star details: 1. Outstanding Communications. Melissa is always available, including by phone, text, and email. She does what she says she is going to do. We've spoken on the phone & Melissa has a great app which gives you updates and photos of your pet! 2. Genuine Caring. On our most recent trip, the weather got cold. Melissa's team members worked with us to turn on our well heater, ensure our pup was kept warm and cozy, and gave us detailed updates and photos. 3. Going Above & Beyond. Melissa called me about the cold weather to alert us in case we didn't know it was going to be below freezing and to ensure our pet was fully taken care of. Her team actually plays with your pet, spends real quality time, and ensures your pet feels loved. They brought our dog extra treats which was incredibly thoughtful because our dog is a senior citizen - and they actually know about dogs so they brought treats that are great for his health as well as being yummy!

We have been using this pet sitting service of our cat for nearly 2 years, and cannot recommend it…read moreenough. The owner, Melissa, is very responsive. it is easy to schedule services and prices are very reasonable. All of the sitters that work for Melissa are professional, friendly and really love animals. The sitters send us an update and photos each day they visit and generally make sure our house is okay while we are away (i.e., take our garbage cans if we ask, bring in packages, etc.). We have full confidence that our cat (and our house) are in good hands while we are away. As a bonus, our cat LOVES all of the sitters ;)

I just picked up my 10-year-old toy dog from Dogtopia today after a full week stay--which is a long…read moretime for him--and I honestly can't say enough good things. He looks amazing. Somehow, he seems younger: more energy, more interest in his surroundings, and noticeably more alert. On his walk, he had a new spring in his step (he's usually stiff after sleeping most of the day) and was focused and eager to move forward. He typically barks at strangers, but this time showed no interest--and dare I say, he even seemed better trained. At home, he wasn't food-focused in his behavior, and I truly believe he thinks he's still going to get the same level of activity and stimulation he enjoyed at Dogtopia. One of the best parts of his time there is the professional, supervised interaction with other dogs his own size. I never second-guess taking him to Dogtopia. The results speak for themselves.

The reason I have not used her is that I have an exra dog sitter living with me ( aka a fiance). She started watching my dogs back in 2005.

Serina and Ariana took great care of my dog Cary and sent me adorable pictures everyday! They are sweet dog lovers and super responsible dog sitters. They came to my place twice a day, fed my dog following the instructions I left, and brought my dog out for a happy walk. They even sent me the GPS tracking of their walking route! When I got home, my dog was happy and healthy and I could see that he had been taken care really well during the past few days. I will definitely recommend Austin Animal Care to anyone that has dogs and they are the best dog sitters I've ever used!

Anthony was personable, full of good information, and helpful with anything we needed. The class was reasonably priced and I would actually pay more for the quality we received.

Your dog is given the best type of socialization with other dogs of similar size and energy. Along with the solicitation, you get to learn valuable lessons on how to train and prepare your dog to be the best pet around. What makes this place better than the rest is the property. After touring multiple day cares in Austin, you soon learn that they all give the dogs a box the size of a bedroom to try and get their energy out. HP takes it to the next level with a massive field with toys and obstacles that they can run until they're tired. Our pup would come back each week, and instantly pass out. One word of advice, if you have a dog like ours, be prepared for a bath when you get home, because they will come home dirty. This is definitely not the place if you are trying to keep your dog clean. That being said, it is worth the bath.

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.
