This is adorable pet boarding facility that also has a little store. I went in this store to buy some pet grass. The people who worked there were so helpful, kind, and accommodating. This store is a wonderful place to go if you're looking for a small thoughtful gift for a cat owner. They have these wonderful peacock feathers for $1.75 each. They have great candles as well as other things. The decor is homey, quaint, and comfortable while quite stylish. They have ample parking. I will definitely be giving this store my patronage. read more

Impressive! The Best! They took care of my cat pretty well. He came home very calm and well-adjusted, as if he had been pampered and coddled his entire stay. I'm sure he misses them! When I went to drop him off before hours, I didn't get to see the. place, but the building looked new and clean. They gave me updates and I appreciated the postcards/Facebook posts about many cat's well being. When I went to pick him up, I was impressed by how clean the place was, considering how my cats and finches were present. My cat's room was very clean, with a big window, the jungle gym setup, and a loft bed. The kitty litter had added fiber pellets, which I hope he liked since he hates sawdust litter. They gave me back everything that I left at dropoff, plus a toy. My cat was very calm, coming by his own free-will to greet the handler. To me, these were all green flags and I will highly recommend Whiskers to anyone needing a safe place for their kittens and cats to stay for a short (or long) spell. They know cats better! read more

We have used them 3 times now for a week at a time in most cases. They are AWESOME! Everyone who works there is SO friendly. The place is always clean and well maintained. I hate being away from my cat but she loves going there and sometimes looks bored when we bring her back home, haha! Get the "postcards" - they are SOO worth it!! Thanks Whiskers, keep up the excellent service!!! Angie and Russell Philips, Ashe the cat read more

We just got back from a week long trip, with Whiskers caring for our three cats. We could tell from the beginning that they were in good hands, so we wouldn't have to worry. There was even a bit of an emergency during our trip, and they walked us through everything; they truly went above and beyond in caring for the cats. Thanks! read more

I had to board my 6month old kitten for the first time ever and went with Whiskers due to the great reviews I read on Yelp. After this experience I completely understand why they are so highly rated! Upon check in they allowed me to tour the facility and take my cat to his room. They got him all settled in, in front of me. Explained to me all the amenities and play time he will get. Upon check out, they loaded him up when I got there. They gave me feedback on how he was during his stay and he left with a feather and mouse toy! 10/10 I will definitely be back! Pro tip: book as early as possible especially during the holiday season as they fill up fast' read more

We've boarded our cats several times at Whiskers, and they always come home happy. The staff is very attentive to feeding schedules and amounts for your furry ones, and take great care of them. Highly recommended! The rooms have plenty of places to climb and explore. read more

How on earth did I not remember to come on here and give an amazing review?! My sweet baby stayed here for three days while we were having our floors redone. I was so nervous, but everyone was so kind and loved on her. They sent me pics and video and treated her like family. She had her own little room and all kinds of fancy things. I'm thankful to Whiskers for being in business. It's hard to find a place to board a cat that you feel will truly love your baby like you will. Also, I drove from Central Austin up to this place because I felt it was the right place. Love them!! read more

Whiskers is "the" place to board your cats! We have boarded our babies twice at Whiskers. They have different rooms to reserve and meet all the cats' needs. When we told them that our 19 year old cat needed to eat small amounts 5-6 times a day, they did not hesitate to accommodate us. I just stopped by their store this week to buy peacock feathers, a candle, and mice for our son's cats. The cats love the feathers and mice. Thank you, Whiskers, for providing excellent service, as well as great products to use at home! read more

My cat Tobias was boarded here for the first time ever and I am SO happy we chose this business!! Tobias absolutely loved it and I received an update with pictures over his stay where I was assured that he was adjusting well, playing, eating, etc. My nerves were put at ease the moment we walked in to drop him off and I saw a sign on his door that let others know to keep strings away from him (cat parents you know why). Clearly his needs were very well met and understood which is all I wanted. The facilities look amazing and are well taken care of, clean, friendly, and cozy! Honestly, you can't put a price on the comfort of your kitty, and Whiskers meets every expectation and then some! Tobias (and his parents) will be 100% returning customers, and again 100000000/10 recommend Whiskers!! Thank you all so much for all you do, and thank you for taking care of and loving my little Tobis, y'all are the BEST in the game! read more

This is the review my cat would write... First day: I'm mad at being in my carrier. Once mom lets me into my hotel room, I run to a soft bed and hide. I like this soft bed. It feels safe. I will stay in it. I am mad at my mom. Next day: I feel shy. I still like this soft bed. I look around my hotel room. New people seem nice but I'm shy. There are cool toys here. My mom called and they put her on speakerphone. I yelled at her a bunch through the phone. Other days (I can't count because I'm a cat): The nice people here play with me. Obviously I'm awesome and they have come to see how great I am. I show them how I can jump, climb, headbutt, purr, roll, eat, and catch toys. I still like this soft bed. Last day: My mom came to get me. I wasn't that interested in leaving because she had my carrier and I prefer to not be in it. All my new friends at Whiskers said bye to me. I think I like them better than my mom now. He will definitely be coming back to Whiskers!!! read more

This was my first time boarding my cat Brittany, who quickly earned the title of "Biscuit Queen" while she was here. I typically have someone check on her in my apartment, but I wanted to try somewhere where she'd receive more constant attention. Twyla was super welcoming and friendly, and quickly eased my nervousness about leaving Brittany somewhere new. I could tell right away the passion that the staff has for caring for cats, and I received wonderful updates while she was there. Brittany will definitely be back, as she seemed to really enjoy her time there as well. read more

My bashful cat has boarded with Whiskers three times (from a few days to two weeks), and true to his nature, he is always wary and timid in his new surroundings... at first. Thanks to the loving, gentle care and attention from the Whiskers team, he's soon back to his usual, contented self. The pictures say it all. He looks like he's right at home! They consider my cat as one of the family, and there is no better reassurance that he is well cared for. Whiskers is a cat haven, beautifully designed and "well appointed" for felines! The team is always conscientious of the well-being of their guests. They provide play sessions and brush outs (my cat's favorite). And with your cat's health in mind, the facility is always clean, and the food and litter the best. I'm so glad Whiskers is in our area, leading the standard of care for cat boarding! There are other boarding services closer, but I'm willing to go the distance for this exceptional service. Knowing he's in good hands is priceless. read more

My Husband and I love Cat Whiskers. We can travel and have our baby CocoaBella taken care of without worry. They are the best for our aged baby who does not like the sounds of a dog barking. It is quiet and peaceful and she is able to relax in a two story luxurious kitty Condo. We are sent pictures and videos of our baby while we are away. We miss her tremendously and she is one spoiled kitty Kat. She greets her caregivers with Head Buttz and they love her lots. She visits often while we are away from home. Now this is CocoaBella's home away from home. CocoaBella would not stay any place but with Cat Whiskers. We highly recommend them for all your Kitty Kat needs and be sure to tell all your Friends. read more

If I could give them 10 stars, I would! I've never had to board my cat before and I am SO glad I found them. They offer large rooms, sunny windows, bird feeders for entertainment, and a staff that knows and loves felines. They sent us an adorable little slideshow of her playtime while we were away and it totally melted our hearts. I was happy to drive from south Austin to Georgetown so that she could stay here. I cannot say this any more clearly- Whiskers is the best in Austin! If you want your cat to have a fun holiday instead of a traumatic experience, pick Whiskers. (I visited other places and the cats all look shellshocked as they stare out of their little cages. That will not happen here.) I wish I had the photo of her lounging on the couch - I'd post it here. But instead, I'll post her snoozing away by my side tonight; she had fun- but she's happy to be home. read more

Whiskers - Vacations are fun, but we're always happy to be home. - Pet Stores Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

Too my cat in when I had to make an emergency trip at the height of Covid. They were great! Took very good of my boy and he did just fine. A little shy but was just starting to come around when I returned. Pricing is not the cheapest, but you Do get what you pay for. Very professional, very clean, excellent service. I'll be using then again. read more

We have boarded our cat Amber at a few places in different cities over the years, but nothing compares to the posh room and loving attention she received at Whiskers! She was extremely relaxed from the moment we brought her home, so we knew that the time away from us had not worried her one bit---and I think that is because of the kind Whiskers staff and the lovely room with soft music. I was concerned she might hide the whole time she was there, but the staff said she loved to sit on the highest perch of the cat tree and relax. Now that Amber is over 10 years old, I worry about stressing her out, and that will never happen at Whiskers. read more

Our cat Bernie has the most wonderful experience at Whiskers. The facility is so nice and clearly designed by someone who knows cats. The staff is lovely and so caring of their customers! We were so nervous to board our anxious cat, and the second day they sent an update with photos and videos and he was clearly in heaven! It let us enjoy our trip without worrying that he was stressed and lonely. I can't recommend them highly enough! read more

OMG, I Am So So Grateful For Finding Whiskers!! I was moving from San Antonio and needed to find a Nice Place for my two large cats! I looked at several places to board my cats in San Antonio and did not care for any of them for several different reasons! I then started searching online and found Whiskers over 100 miles away from where I lived. From my first call to Whiskers I felt so relieved after speaking with them! They were so incredibly nice, I felt totally blessed because I felt my cats would be cared for nicely with them! Anyone needing to board their cat or cats would be very kind to them to board at Whiskers. I would have drove over 200 miles or more if I had to, for Whiskers to board my cats!! Thank You Whiskers!!! read more

I've never before boarded pets because there were always family and friends around to help out, but since moving half way across the country we realized just how good and convenient we used to have it. I searched high and low for a kitty only boarding facility in Austin and much to my surprise, one didn't exist. I came across Whiskers and wondered whether or not a hike to Georgetown was worth it. I'm so happy we decided to check it out because it's 100% worth it! Twyla was very friendly from the moment we walked in and she happily showed us around their luxury kitty hotel. They have a multitude of rooms to choose from, all ranging in size with window or canary views. They also have sky-boxes at the top so the kitties stay busy with the primarily vertical arrangement of the rooms. Soft music plays in the background and they have a large selection of cat food and supplies if you want to purchase something for home. These ladies seem to love what they do and care for all of their kitty occupants, they watched over our three furry bundles for 9 days and sent updates and even moved them to a room with a view because something simply opened up. Communication is great and I felt at peace knowing our kitties were in good hands. We will be returning to Twyla and Jenifer while we are away for the holidays this year, because frankly if I were a cat, I'd totally dig this place. read more

I am so happy that this cat hotel exists, that I happily drive my two kitties over from Central Austin before we go out of town. There's nothing else like this spacious, safe, and happy place for cats only. I've had poor luck with cat sitters. And although my kitties are safe at our vet's boarding, they really don't like the cramped space and sometimes refuse to eat there. My spoiled fur babies, Ms. Edith and Mr. Buckminster, have very sophisticated taste and like nothing but the best. So Whiskers is a dream come true, and their staff is simply the sweetest and most accommodating ever. They take great care of me, and I think of myself as a helicopter cat mom! It is seriously a great deal too; our vet boarding is not much cheaper and yet the kitties get luxury here. Choose Whiskers if you want the best possible kitty accommodations and value. read more

I boarded my kitten Nala here right before she turned six months old while I was getting married in Mexico. She was there for seven full days and I was extremely worried leaving here because of her age, the fact that she has never been overnight without me and because she has an asthma condition that causes her to need to be put in a nebulizer twice a day. Putting her in the nebulizer itself can be a feat with a crazy, energetic and scratchy kitten. I left her Sept. 20 and got her the slightly larger one kitten unit with the view of the bird feeders. I opted to get her playroom and exercise sessions because she is very active. I also paid to get the daily picture updates. She seemed very excited to have such high spaces to climb and I left her knowing that she would be in good hands. Nala was very entertained with the birds and activities provided. I received more than daily picture updates, but also the occasional video message. Because it wasn't that busy, Nala received extra playroom and exercise time and extra love and attention. They were professional enough to understand her medical procedure and I felt entirely comfortable leaving her there. I plan and bringing her back for a short stay over thanksgiving for my long weekend trip. Best part of all- NO DOGS :) In a world where they are countless opportunities for dogs it's nice to see them excluded. read more

Our cats haven't been in a couple of years because we have a personal cat sitter now, but I must say the place is beautiful and clean and the rooms are spacious. The staff is very friendly and professional and most of all, our cats loved it. We were pretty new to Texas, didn't know many people and had a pre-planned vacation, so we were delighted to know that they boarded cats only and that they are right next door to our vet and close to home. Their prices are reasonable and they opened right when we needed them. If our sitter cannot watch our kitties, we know that they will be in good care at Whiskers. Obviously they pay the kitties lots of attention because ours didn't seem to care we were there to pick them up after not seeing us for a week. They even sent our babies home with some new toys. Highly recommended. read more

This facility is better than 5 star service. Exceptionally clean and pleasant environment with absolutely no cat odors. Personnel were very personal and pay attention to detail. Twila, Jennifer and Albert went above and beyond to make our cats comfortable giving them love and attention. Our cat beds were soiled from the trip over and came back even cleaner than when they were new. A free mouse toy that my cat loves and still playing with. They are very knowledgeable about cat diets and proper foods to feed. They take the time to discuss any concerns we had and went out of their way to ease our concerns. We definitely recommend this facility to house your kitties! Thank you Jennifer, Twila and Albert! read more

We were going out of town for a month and needed a place for our mostly outdoor cat. We were concerned how he would do without access to the outside but I called ahead and was reassured that they'd had cats that were nearly feral do fine. Well, he did great! It was a huge relief to know that he was being well taken care of, we got regular updates and pictures of him and it was pretty clear he was enjoying having his own place. We will definitely bring him here again! read more

We just picked up our cat from there and we're very happy. I was nervous about boarding my cat because he had never been apart from my boyfriend and I for more than 1 night and has rarely left our apartment. They addressed all my fears and sent great updates! While he is happy to be home I know he was well taken care of. read more

I have two outdoor cats but I do not want to leave them outside at night or otherwise unattended during the day. I was a bit worried about how where to board them as I wanted a place where they would be safe, not stressed out by dogs, and not in a cage. The suites at Whiskers Cat Boarding are built with an emphasis on vertical movement so my cats had room to stretch their legs and to find places where they felt comfortable. When I picked them up they seemed happy and not particularly stressed. Of course they took off when we got home but that is to be expected. They returned as usual and seemed to be their normal selves. The owners sent me pictures of my cats which was wonderful! I have a trip coming up in August and am so happy I have a nice place for them to go to. I think my cats will enjoy it too! read more

Whiskers is a godsend. My poor cat was stricken with quite a few medical problems all at once last October, which also happened to be the month we had to go out of town for a wedding. I was really scared to leave him considering he was still on the mend from major surgery and required medicine every 12 hours but after his first visit I am completely at ease with leaving him there. The ladies who take care of the kitties are true cat lovers and treat them all so special and will do just about anything they need to be comfortable and at ease. We get our cat one of the largest suites in the corner with a view of both a bird feeder outside the window and a view of the cage of finches in the hallway. He loves it. So much so that he didn't even want to come home! Just be aware that if you have a cat that you think doesn't enjoy being in high places that this will probably change after they come home from Whiskers! He loves the little shelves and the skybox. He pretty much stays up there his entire stay. As if it wasn't enough that they are totally ok with all his special needs and checking on his breathing regularly and giving him plenty of love, they also send updates on a daily basis. Often with pictures! Once they even sent me a video of him on YouTube so I could see for myself how he was doing! I love Whiskers. I wouldn't be able to leave town if it wasn't for them. Thank you!!! read more

I don't own a cat, but if I did, this is the place I would board my baby. Nice people and place that truly cares about cats.

Great service and staff. Very friendly. Lots of spacious rooms. They take very good care of your cats while you are away. I would definitely use them again. read more

This place is the very best! I hate to leave my cat anyplace. Not so at Whiskers! They take such good care of cats & give them a large place to roam around in and places to climb. The owners truly care for cats & even sent me a video of my cat while he was there. I'll definitely use them again & again! read more

I love this place for my cat. Very few places will give adequate accommodations for cats, but this place is perfect. Whenever we go on long trips, we have our cat stay here. He settles in, and enjoys himself. The staff also takes good care of him, and talks to him. I wouldn't put my Kyle anywhere else when I am gone. read more

Already gave a review but they are an excellent boarding facility. They clean, well set up are comparably priced, and took great care of our cats when they first opened. I have a cat sitter now, but I'd use them again if my sitter was unavailable. read more

It's very difficult to find a boarding facility that caters specifically to cats. Whiskers understands cat psychology and has constructed its enclosures to make cats feel comfortable: their kennels have multiple vertical levels, so that cats have freedom of movement and are not confined as they are in traditional crate kennels. My cat is normally totally stressed out when kenneled, but she maintained her appetite and weathered this boarding better than any other she has had to endure. There is a cost premium for choosing Whiskers, but it is worth it. If you are a resident of an area near Georgetown, I advise you to take your cat to Whiskers rather than kennel him/her at a vets or other standard facility that kennels dogs and cats, even if it means making a significant commute. read more

I can't say enough good things about Whiskers Cat Boarding. I have three cats, one of which needs daily insulin shots, and I have to travel regularly. It is not easy finding a place that can give daily injections, let alone a place where my spoiled and dog-phobic cats will feel safe and comfortable. I used to keep them at a very nice luxury place that boards cats and dogs. It was really nice and well run with a separate area for the cats, but still my cats would always be so stressed out when I went to pick them up because of the constant barking of the dogs. Plus it was really cost prohibitive with the three cats. Even though they were all boarded in the same room, I received only a small token discount for the additional cats. For a long time, though, that was my best option. But driving down Williams Drive, I noticed a new cats-only place that just opened and decided to stop in and take a look around. This place was as nice as the other luxury place, with a few key differences. First, *NO DOGS.* The place is so nice and quiet, so much less stressful, with classical music playing in the background instead of the ruckus of dozens of dogs. They have a little cage with finches in it that all the cats can see and the cats all have sky boxes where they can hang out. The sky boxes are wire, not glass, so the cats feel a part of the action yet aloof and protected--just how cats like it, ha, ha. Also, I am very picky about sanitation and this place was spotless. But the best thing--they charge only $5.00 extra per day for additional cats. Are you kidding me?!? The other place didn't even give me a $5.00 *discount* per cat. That, and the fact that this place's prices are slightly less to begin with, means that I pay less than half what I was paying at the other place and no dogs to boot. But then the big question: Do they do insulin shots? I was so excited to discover that they do. I actually had a trip coming up in a few weeks, so went ahead and made reservations. When I stopped by, I saw an awesome cat tree they were selling, cheaper than PetSmart and much nicer quality. I asked them if I could buy the cat tree and have it put in the cats' room for them during their stay, picking it up at the same time I picked the cats up, and they agreed. They also allowed me to bring my cats' own favorite bedding and toys, which was nice. I left my cats there for three nights and when I came back to pick them up they seemed happy to see me but really not all that stressed at all. It's such a cute and homey little place, they probably just thought they went to stay with a friend or something. I really am so glad that I found Whiskers. Now I can go away without worrying about my sweet babies. I know they will be well taken care of and much less stressed. I'm already planning a summer vacation--something I haven't done in several years! read more

Wiskers is a really long drive for me but worth it for my kitty. I really don't know of any place like this where it is totally catered to kitties. Great feaures are the bird cages and the sky boxes where the kitties can watch the birds, also bird feeders outside their windows. Really a great kitty condo complex... read more

What a great place! I was not surprised that my cats did not want to leave. They have lots of neat cat stuff - perches, alcoves above the doors, and even a playroom with birds in a cage. Very clean accommodations. I would highly recommend Whiskers!! Very reasonable pricing as well. read more

Whiskers was an excellent choice to keep my two kittens while I went to family reunion. I especially loved the fact that it is "cats" only! Chester and Kenzi seemed to have as great a time as I had at the beach. The facility was clean and the playroom was a big hit. Thanks for taking such good care of my pets. Would recommend this place to all cat lovers. read more

Great place to board your cat. We have had KC board there twice and she had a wonderful stay each time. She came home happy and healthy. It was very hard to find a place that specializes in cats and we drive from Austin to bring KC here. It is worth the drive and the money to know she is safe and not to have to worry about her. I highly recommend Whiskers for yiur cat biarding needs. read more

Wonderful facility! Our 2 cats have stayed there twice and love it. Each room has a high overlook perch and some rooms have birdcage or gerbils they can be entertained with. Some rooms have windows to watch over the outdoor bird feeders. You can pay extra for time in the playroom or individual exercise time. Staff are friendly and the place is kept very clean. I would definitely recommend Whiskers! read more

This place is awesome. I've never felt more comfortable leaving my fur babies at a boarding location. It is very clean, the kitties settled right into their new home, and I received little updates on their status as the month went by. It really relieved a huge amount of stress for all of us during a big move. They loved the sky box, the entertainment, and were just as happy when I picked them up as (which cat owners know is a feat). Friendly and accommodating staff, happy kitties, neat "cat stuff." 100% worth the cost for the peace of mind. Thank you so much! read more
