Dog Boarding in Central Austin TX
If you live in Hyde Park, Rosedale, North Loop, Hancock, or Crestview and you need dog boarding in Central Austin TX, we are about 10 to 15 minutes away in University Hills. You can easily get to us via I35 or via 183.
Central Austin dog parents have plenty of options when it comes to boarding, but most of those options are large facilities where your dog is one of dozens cared for by whoever happens to be working that shift.
Big Little Paws is different. Your dog comes into our actual home and spends their time with a small, pre-screened group of compatible dogs and two people who genuinely know them. Not just their name, but their personality, their energy level, their favorite spot on the couch.
What Central Austin Dog Parents Were Dealing With
Before finding us, Central Austin families tell us they were dealing with the same frustrations. They would drop their dog off at a big facility and spend the entire day wondering if their dog was okay because they never got updates.
Their dog would come home exhausted in a bad way, thirsty, sometimes they had not eaten all day. The staff was different every time so their dog never bonded with anyone.
One of our regulars said that what finally made her switch was realizing her dog was just a number at the old place.
Another client told us she loves that we are incredibly caring and communicative and that it gives her total peace of mind when she travels.
A third said her dog runs to the door the second they pulled up for drop off because her dog genuinely loves being here.
That shift from tolerating boarding to actually loving it is what Central Austin families find when they make the drive to Big Little Paws.
Small Group Care in a Real Home
When you search for dog boarding in Central Austin TX, your dog is coming into a real house with a real backyard. Sonya and Bryce are here every single day without exception.
Every dog in our group has been pre-screened through our meet and greet process, and we never accept dogs with a history of aggression. The group stays small on purpose so every dog gets genuine one on one attention throughout the day.
Every boarding stay includes two walks per night, meals on your dog's normal schedule, and daily photos, videos, and report cards sent straight to your phone. You will know what your dog ate, who they played with, and how they slept. No more wondering. No more worrying.
