We had the pleasure of experiencing Tiny Tails To You during a mom group meet up at Book People and I have been an eager beaver waiting to go again! I'm not sure how it's organized at other places but at Book People you are given a bookmark with an animal on it which designates which group you are in. Everybody sits in one area and is introduced to a few animals during songs and story time. There are two people in charge, one of them, read the book and the other one calls out each group and bring them to another area where they have a circular set up for children to interact with the animals. There is an animal while you are waiting in line and then you go inside the gated area where each child sits down and has a mat placed over their lap. There are other employees that rotate the animals out so each child gets to experience all that they have to offer. My son really loved the hedgehog and the rabbit. We were really excited to pet a chinchilla, but unfortunately it was not very cooperative that day. Upon exiting the animal area, there is another animal to transition out which made it surprisingly easy. We did go back to story time for one more book and then decided to peruse around the store after. But having the story time while simultaneously calling small groups, really kept everything organized and children, preoccupied, and made for way less chaos than I originally anticipated. All of the employees were super kind, worked really well with all the children and animals and were very pleasant to be around. It was truly a wonderful experience and we will definitely go every single time Book People and any other local businesses holding an event with Tiny Tales To You. read more

Bunnies. Guinea pigs. Hedgehogs. Chickens. Bearded dragons. And a tortoise. Tiny Tails To You, a mobile petting zoo, brought these cuties to our recent company staff development day and I kid you not, grown people were lining up for their chance to pet an adorable creature or three. I indulged in my inner child and cuddled as many as possible. Except for the chicken 'cos my neighbor has those. And I didn't really cuddle the bearded dragon... more like I draped him across my arm, then petted him with one finger. The TTTY staff were absolutely fantastic, dealing with both humans and animals smoothly and efficiently. They also ensured the animals took regular breaks to rest and eat. A delightfully relaxing activity. Everyone left with smiles on their faces, especially me! read more

My coworkers and I wanted to do something special to celebrate the end of our project, and spending an hour and a half cuddling cute critters was the perfect treat. It was the middle of summer, so I was worried about finding an indoor venue that would keep us and the animals cool. The Tiny Tails staff were amazingly helpful and provided a list of indoor locations they'd used in the past. We ultimately ended up renting a conference room at a hotel, which worked out fabulously. The entire experience was so delightful and soothing. The animals are all total professionals -- you can tell they're used to noisy children's birthday parties because they were completely calm and nonplussed at being held by our group of adults. Highly recommend. Excellent communication and responsiveness from the TT staff throughout the entire process. read more

Had Tiny Tails come out for my daughter's 10th birthday, and the high rating & positive reviews are wholly deserved. Everything went smoothly, from planning to execution. Lots of clear and detailed communication leading up to the day of. The cold necessitated moving indoors, so we emptied out and heated the garage. Greg showed up on time, set everything up, explained to me how he was going to manage to entertain 20-25 kids 5 at a time, and proceeded captivate the crowd for 1.5hrs. The kids loved holding, interacting with, and learning about the animals. Whole-heartedly recommend Tiny Tails for a big birthday or a special event! read more

Kaylee was outstanding with her Tiny Tails animals. Waffle the bearded dragon and the adorable hedge hog were favorites with our group. The Chinchilla was also very sweet! All the bunnies, the Greek Tortoise, Guinea Pig, and the miniature chicken were also delightful to pet and spend time holding them. Our group of 16 really enjoyed themselves and were excited to have the opportunity to see such lovely animals. We would certainly recommend them for any party or get together. We had a last minute booking. The scheduling was very quick and easy. read more

Absolutely WONDERFUL experience from start to finish. We hired Tiny Tails for a church summer camp and it was a HUGE hit! Hannah(TT staff) was so good with the groups of kids. The animals all seemed happy and well cared for. I cannot say enough about our amazing experience!! Thank you Tiny Tails! read more

WONDERFUL!!! With coronavirus limitations, it was hard to celebrate my son's birthday so we booked a Virtual Petting Zoo for his Zoom kindergarten class. They loved it!!! Miss Allie is fantastic with children, and kept them educated and entertained. Even the adults learned something new! (Did you know a bearded dragon has three eyes?) My sons got to choose which animal was presented next, and Miss Allie also coordinated a birthday song with the students and the animals too. I'm so thrilled we found Tiny Tails to help us celebrate! read more

We recently had Tiny Tails at our daughters 2nd birthday party and it was amazing! We had a wide variety of ages (2-15) and all of the kids loved it, even the older ones. Karla was very attentive, kind and patient with all of kids and the animals were very calm and well taken care of! We didn't have to use it but their rescheduling policy is super fair compared to other services we looked at and they make booking very simple! They also gave several options for setup at our house which was helpful for a February party/crazy Texas weather! We will definitely be using Tiny Tails again and loved this experience! read more

Tiny tails to you came to a yelp elite event that I attended. Was honestly the highlight of the party! The animals were very calm. You could tell they are well taken care of. And they had such a large variety to choose from. I held animals ranging from chicken to horned lizard! Definitely recommend for a big party. The staff was also super friendly and very chill. Also very knowledgeable if you asked them questions! Great for kids and adults alike! read more

This was epic. I remember the days where teambuilding meant trust falls and zip lines. How much more amazing is it to bond with your team over little peter cottontail? We had hedgehogs, bunnies, chickens and chicks and a chinchilla. It was wonderful. I also liked seeing how well taken care of they were. They all had their own little setups that were just right for them, and they all seemed very happy and healthy, which is always my only concerns with stuff like this. The gals who facilitated were super cute as well - very knowledgeable and friendly. I'm sure there are downsides (like lots of tinkle and poop) but it seems like a very happy job. read more

Pet cute animals and destress, what more can you ask for? Really though I was very impressed with Tiny Tails selection of animals to choose from. Most petting services offer the typical, bunnies and chickens. This place though however had quite a unique selection, including guinea pigs, hedgehogs, turtles, and my favorite lizards (a bearded dragon named Norbert). During an event I went to Tiny Tails brought their vast selection of cuteness all ready for petting and selfies. The staff there is extremely nice, they'll work with you in choosing an animal if you can't really decide on what would be best for you as well as telling you tips on how to handle the animal. All of the animals were so calm and comfortable around people. Never did I feel like there was a risk where one would either run away or bite me. Granted though these are animals and they have feelings too, so they should be treated like such. I highly highly enjoyed Tiny Tails and would really consider them to any event. Be it a team outing, a party, or even just a need to destress, this place has you covered. My personal favorites of course again being Norbert the lizard and Cinnabun the bunny hehe. read more

We hired TT for my son's 3 YO's birthday party. It was such a great experience for the kiddos. Madison was so sweet and playful and all the animals were adorable. We'll probably book them again for the next birthday party, the kids had such a good time with it! read more

We can't remember names but we had a lady and a taller man with a beard. They were both so kind and patient with the kiddos. The animas were a hit too! The whole process was stress free and fun!

We had Tiny Tails for our daughter's third birthday and it was a huge hit. The kids and adults alike were delighted by the animals and it was the perfect activity as everyone could cycle in/out.

We hired Tiny Tails To You for my daughter's birthday party and they were fantastic! They were great in communicating everything ahead of time. Staff showed up right on time and we got a full hour (not including set-up/clean-up). The kids (and adults!) had a blast and all of the animals were so friendly and cute. Loved the hedgehog - I think his name was Ozzy? Highly recommend! read more

This was a huge success for a kids birthday party (ages at party ranged from 1-7). Communication was concise and helpful. The setup and clean up was all done by Tiny Tails and was a breeze. They were interactive and professional and so sweet with the kids. I received a lot of compliments on how awesome they were. read more

Do you plan parties/retreats/offsites? Do you like cute snuggly things? Do you have a pulse? If you answered yes to any of the above, you need Tiny Tails to You in your rolodex. I was first introduced to them at a work summit where they were brought in on our first day before our meetings kicked off as a way to just release any tension or anxiety and kind of unstiff the air a bit. It seriously did the trick. Everyone in the room had a permanent smile on their face the rest of the day, not to mention super cute photos to post on social or send back to loved ones instead of the "ugh...it's only minute one and I already hate this" texts they'd normally receive the first day of any business trip! I loved the situation above so much that I hired TTtoYou for a 300-person event recently and the set up definitely MADE the event. The online submission process was easy (just provide all your relevant details), the communication leading up to the event was on point, and then of course, they need very little time to set up and it takes even less than that to fall in love with the little snuggle bugs (and reptiles!) once they're displayed. Not to mention, this was all for adults! I think for kids it's a no brainer, but I was surprised at how much adults instantly melt for a mobile petting zoo, too! read more

I don't have a lot of experience with mobile petting zoos, but I have to imagine that this is about as good as it gets. I don't know what would make it better. I know that if you go to a regular petting zoo they don't let you get smashed on white wine while playing with the animals, so clearly Tiny Tails at least has THAT advantage. As made obvious by the name, the staff come to you with their entire mobile set-up. I was at a (very strange) house party, and they set up in the living room. They laid down some tarps and erected a corral and after a couple of minutes of explanation, it was cuddle time! Soon we were all passing tiny animals back and forth, oohing and awing and looking at their adorable, smushy face. The star of the show was obviously the chinchilla. While it was sweet and impossibly soft, I preferred the guinea pigs. They're just the sweetest little animals and I can see why elementary school children are such big fans. They also had some rabbits, baby chicks, and some other animals I'm just not remembering. All pretty chill, but if they started to get stressed, the handlers took them back and put then little baskets to get some privacy. It was all so cute and I'm confident that these animals are well cared for. Fun for kids and drunk adults. Sober adults would probably enjoy it, too! read more

Tiny Tails was friendly, timely, and exceeded our expectations at my daughter's birthday party. It felt comfortable and easy-going which is saying a lot for 2-4 year olds! They respect their animals while also being kind to the kids as they pet them. I highly recommend their services! read more

Love.Love.Love. We had Tiny Tails for a 1st birthday party and I was worried some of the kids would be too young to enjoy it, I was wrong! Now let's be honest, the adults were wayyyy more entertained than the children but everyone had a great time. It was setup nicely, everything was clean, the tiny animals were perfectly adorable and sweet, and my toddler enjoyed himself. He squealed in excitement when he was allowed to pat the soft animals, he was amazed at the beautiful chicken, and he was in love with the bearded dragon. I cannot wait to have a reason to hire them again. read more

After scouting all of the petting zoos in Austin, I decided to go with Tiny Tails. We didn't have your typical children's party, but rather a 40th Birthday party that had no kids at all! Everyone really enjoyed it, there were lots of rabbits, some baby chicks, chinchillas, hedgehog. It was run by a lady named Chelsea and see was knowledgeable and very friendly, bubbly personality. I would reccomend Tiny Tails to anyone, children or adults. read more

I keep seeing this traveling Zoo around town and think it is such an awesome business concept! Every Saturday they set up a small pen at the Sunset Farmers Market and charge 1.00 for children to come in and handle the small animals. Today they had a couple of bunnies, a guinea pig, ducklings a turtle and some sort of reptile. All the kiddos looked like they were having so much fun! I have also seen them at Book People. Once a month they bring the animals and read animal themed books. I think their main business is probably Children's BD Parties (my animal loving 5 year old niece would LOVE this as her last BD was a pony party). They also do educational reading programs at schools and libraries and even have a therapy program where they take the animals to nursing homes. I will definitely be suggesting this as the BD theme for my nieces upcoming BD! read more

In lieu of a live band, we opted to host a version of Chicken Shit Bingo at our wedding on 4/16/16. We needed a chicken, so I called Tiny Tails. While they weren't able to lend me just a chicken, they could include a chicken as part of their Hoppy Hour and were familiar with the game. (Note: We provided the chicken coop and game board for the bingo. Tiny Tails provided the chicken and feed.) Chicken Shit Bingo and the mobile petting zoo were the highlights of our wedding! Our guests LOVED it. More photos were taken of our guests with animals than of anything else - and that's not a complaint. Nick was on-site to help people hold the animals and was very friendly and helpful. We have zero regrets hiring Tiny Tails over any other live entertainment for our wedding! read more

This was the most amazing birthday party for someone turning 31 that you can have! Every one had a great time - we had baby bunnies, rabbits, baby chicks, a chinchilla, a hedgehog, a tortoise, 2 guinea pigs, and probably some other animals I am forgetting about. They are so organized and friendly (the staff, not the animals). We will have to do this again! read more

I first saw Tiny Tails to You! at the Highland Farmers Market. Being the animal lover that I am, I knew I wanted to have them at my birthday party - despite turning 23 years old. (One is never too old for tiny animals!) We got a Hoppy Hour package for an hour and a half. Lon was there about 15 minutes early to set up the petting zoo in our backyard. He was very helpful with describing the animals he brought and responded to all questions that we asked. There were tons of bunnies, a bearded dragon, a skink, chinchilla, goslings, chicks, and a hedgehog. They let you request the animals you want (I requested the skink and chinchilla) - I really should have also requested a guinea pig. Those are too cute. Anyway, everyone really loved the petting zoo. They brought mats and once the excitement of holding all the animals died down, we sat around with animals in lap and chatted. We had a few mishaps - the skink peed on my roommate! - but you have to expect that with animals. Any squeamish people are free to use the provided mats and hand sanitizer. Animals seemed happy and well cared for, which is always a plus! read more

NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS WEDDING! Yes, they do weddings! These guys are awesome. We reserved a large Hoppy Hour for two hours in the evening. 1 hour was exclusively for the use of one bunny (named Waffle!!) to be held by the bride as she walked down the aisle. Yep, that happened. Deposit was only $50 and Joe (one of the owners) was very communicative up until the big day. The wedding venue was Barr Mansion and it was so so freezing the day of. They unfortunately wouldn't let the animals inside, but we were able to set up a couple heaters around them. Nick was a super duper sport about it. He set up without complaints and kept all the animals loaded in the car until the last possible moment to keep them warm. Nick was a huge help throughout the entire process and so incredibly attentive and caring towards the animals- which was the biggest draw and probably the most awesome thing about TTTY. You can really tell how much they care for these adorable lil guys. I definitely recommend TTTY to anyone looking into getting a petting zoo for a party or wedding! read more

Loved our tiny tails party! I scheduled them for my daughter's 3rd birthday- which happened to be on the day we had torrential rains in Austin for the first time in years. They made it work though and just set up under a covered patio. The kids loved it and it was a hit with the adults too. I felt bad for the poor turtle and bearded dragon... no one wanted to give them any love. All the animals were cute and sweet and I would definitely recommend Tiny Tails To You to anyone considering them for a young child's birthday party. I had just about everyone tell me that they either thought it was a huge hit or that they wanted to schedule Tiny Tails for their child's party! Can't go wrong with that read more
