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.

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 boarded my two Aussies for a week at Pups & Pals and was extremely pleased with the experience…read more There was a trial day prior to boarding/daycare and at the end of the trial day each dog got a detailed report card on how their day went. I was happy to hear that the play groups are sorted by dog size and temperament to ensure that everyone would get along. The staff is so warm and friendly. You can tell they are dog people! I knew my boys were in good hands and it took a lot of stress of my mind while on vacation. I LOVE getting to see all of the pictures that they post daily on Facebook. Seriously they're so cute and funny - you can see the dogs personalities in the pics and to me that means they are comfortable and happy. Transparency was a big element for me to try this place out for the first time. They have published policies on their website about what they will do if your dog were to get hurt on accident and I really appreciated that. There is really nothing negative that I have found about this place! I recommend bringing your furry children there.

What's great about Camp Bow Wow compared to other doggy daycares: no prior reservation needed, clear doggy cams, and break rooms for chill time! Camp BowWow has easily accessible indoor and outdoor playrooms. This allows your pups to run free and not be confined, which is a HUGEEE PLUS for us! At our last daycare, they were anxious, scared, and had slobber all over them. This time, happy, excited, and absolutely no saliva on them! We have 2 anxious boys who have different needs: one needs his naps and alone time, while the other needs to be with less aggressive dogs. A few notes: one day of daycare runs for about $26 (per dog), the location is located in an inconspicuous location, & in addition to the usual spay/neuter requirements, a quick release collar and nametag must be on your pups upon entry.

I'm hoping this review saves someone else the time and money…read more Our usual boarding place was full for the holiday, so I reluctantly looked for alternatives. When I called to schedule an evaluation, the manager (Jennifer, I believe) strongly encouraged me to go ahead and book the holiday dates. In hindsight, this was likely just to secure our money (more on their refund policy in a moment). I specifically asked if my deposit would be refunded if my dog didn't pass the evaluation and was told yes. What was not made clear to me over the phone: they do not issue refunds. Ever. They only "credit" your account for future services. I wouldn't mind this if I were already a client, but I've never sent my dog here, and at this point he hadn't even been evaluated. About an hour after booking the evaluation and boarding (and putting down deposits for both), I found reviews on Yelp and Reddit, and a news article, stating that a dog had died here due to alleged negligence about a year ago. Out of safety concerns, my partner immediately called to cancel everything. Only then were we fully informed of their real refund policy and told that our $600+ deposit would not be returned, but instead would sit as a "credit" on an account for a facility we would never send our dog to after what I learned. And when we brought up the incident, the business placed the blame entirely on the dog owner. Let me be clear: I am not posting this because of my safety concerns or the alleged incident. I'm posting this because I truly feel we were scammed. They intentionally avoided explaining their refund policy over the phone to secure payment from us. I feel completely taken advantage of. The Acre never clearly disclosed their refund policy when speaking to me and made no effort to ensure I understood it before booking. If you're considering the Acre, please make sure they provide full, upfront transparency around their refund policy before you hand over any money. This entire experience has been an absolute nightmare. And no, my credit card company was not able to dispute the charge.

Our dog was found dead roughly two weeks after escaping from The Acre. This is not a safe place to…read moreleave your pet. Dogs can't tell you what happens when you're not around. We are responsible for speaking on their behalf. I was a customer of The Acre over the course of the month of June 2024. I chose them based on their google reviews, followed their suggestions for onboarding, and ultimately lost our dog due to my decision to place her in their care. My experience with the staff at The Acre has been distressing. They have proven to be more concerned with maintaining their rating on this site than they are with admitting and correcting the wrongs that ended my precious dog's life. Barret and Madelyn (who run The Acre) have not been able to tell me when Wendy went missing or from where on the property. They have placed the blame for this event on an anonymous scapegoat, shirking any responsibility themselves. I believe that every action they've taken to find Wendy has been in their own self-interest, informed especially by the way they are handling deeply justified, relevant, and necessary criticism of their safety protocols. Need I remind you, my dog is dead and they were the last people to see her. If I were them, I would not spend my energy attempting to hide this fact from the public, but working to drastically raise the standard of safety at The Acre. They put on a good show, but that is all it is- a show. It is my strong opinion that The Acre is not a safe place to leave your animal. I wish desperately that I had taken a more critical eye to this place and the people who run it before leaving my dog with them, and I beg you to do the same.

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!!!

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!
