Dog Boarding Barton Creek

“Stephanie and her family took fabulous care of Tuxedo! Their house is setup amazing for an active dog like Tux. Huge background. Can come in and out 24/7. I couldn’t imagine a more ideal environment for Tux! Stephanie is also great about sending picture updates in the morning and evening. It made me feel very comfortable while I was away for 6 nights!! Would highly recommend!!!”

“I believe they took care of my senior pup well and sent me lots of photos and videos every day. They were very responsive to my messages. I would recommend Maura and Shawn, and I would use them again.”

“Lily did a great job communicating the perfect amount while we were away. She sent in pictures and told us how he was doing. We will be rebooking with her :)”

Raegan Y.

“Whitney is by far the best dog sitter ever! She took amazing care of my two dogs and made sure to send regular updates. Her place is VERY ideal for boarding and extremely neat and well kept. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a temporary vacation for their dog!”

“I think this was Abby's 5th time with Savannah and Gabriel. They are great with her. Abby is a handful as she is only 8 months old and still doing typical puppy things. I like that S and G meet me outside their apt building, so I just hand Abby over to them. They take up her bag of food and toys, and her crate and framed puppy pad, so I can be on my way. Same when I come to pick Abby up. They have one dog, also a shih tzu. I like that they do have a playmate for Abby and also that they just have one dog and she's a small one like Abby. As I've said before, their apartment is immaculate and very nice and so is their dog. So I know that Abby won't be finding stuff on their floor to chew up and swallow. (She's still in that phase.) They also have pee pads, a playpen, nice beds, etc. S and G always keep me informed with photos while I'm away. I'm so glad I found them.”

“Thank you to Arie & Etty. Our pup had a wonderful time staying with them. They are lovely people and we received a lot of pictures and updates. Communication was great.”

Lori K.

“Stephanie is the only person I've ever left my dog with that I feel 100% at ease. She treats Rosie like she's one of her own, and Rosie always has the best time. I love receiving photo updates during the stay!”

Leslie G.

“Desmond and Robyn were great with our Luna! They sent pics/videos daily. This was our first time using the Rover app. We were pleased with the service we received. We will definitely schedule with Desmond and Robyn again if we need to.”

Christine I.

“Alex and Griffin were amazing! They provided daily updates and Stanley looked like he was having so much fun swimming and hanging with their fam. We came home to a happy and tired pup!”

About: With 30+ years as both an owner and caretaker, I've cared for dogs of every size, age, and personality, so I'm comfortable handling whatever your pup's quirks or needs might be. I am especially good with senior dogs who need extra snuggles. Because I work from home, dogs here are almost never alone: we're roaming the house and yard together most of the day, with plenty of outdoor time built in naturally rather than scheduled bathroom breaks. Furniture, couch cuddles, and a genuinely cozy home are all part of the package. My own dog, Birdy, is a big, social 7-year-old who loves catch and tug-of-war, and having a resident dog who's socialized helps new dogs settle in fast. Most guest dogs are playing with him within the first day. I always set up a short meet-and-greet before booking, so everyone starts off comfortable. I typically accept two dogs and will only add a third on a case by case basis. This happens when a client needs service and it overlaps with someone else coming or going. Also, If they are a bonded pair that I've worked with before and had an excellent prior experience with. You can reach out to me and we can make a safe decision together. What sets me apart is simple: your dog becomes part of a real, active household, not just a guest in a kennel. If you're looking for a place where your dog gets treated like family with a comfy home, a big backyard, and a friendly canine companion, I'd love to meet you both! Pet care isn't squeezed into my routine, it is my routine. I work from home, so dogs are woven into my entire day: mornings outside, walks, playtime, quiet afternoons while I work nearby, and evenings winding down together on the sofa. There's no juggling a job outside the home or rushing back for breaks; I'm simply here, mostly all day, every day, with time built in naturally for whatever the dogs need. Your dog's safety is my top priority. My yard is large and fully fenced with a 4-foot chain link perimeter, so there's secure room to run and play. I work from home, meaning dogs are rarely left alone and almost always have someone nearby. I require all dogs to be spayed/neutered with current shot records, and I don't board dogs with aggression issues. No exceptions for the safety of everyone. Every new dog starts with a short meet-and-greet with my own dog, Birdy, so we can make sure it's a good match before any stay begins. My home is smoke-free and set up to feel comfortable and familiar, not clinical. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and treated like part of the family from day one.

“Marissa is such a great sitter! I was very pleasantly surprised at what a great job she did as it was my first time leaving Charlie with a sitter for a long weekend. She kept me updated daily with awesome pictures, and she took Charlie on tons of adventures. In fact he seemed to be having so much fun, I was sure he didn't miss me a bit! I will definitely use her on a regular basis, I know he had a blast. Also Charlie was recovering from being sick and she was great about it! Highly recommended.”

“Camryn was an excellent sitter. Nara stayed with her for the weekend and we got just the right amount of communication and photos. She was very accommodating to Nara’s needs and personality. We will definitely choose her again!!”

Blake B.

“Tasha sent me daily updates and pictures. Moose seemed happy and well adjusted, which was so comforting to me, especially since he is a senior dog.”

Virginia (Ginny) R.

“Sherry was a great sitter! She sent so many lovely updates that keep my mind at ease while I was away. She took my dog on walks and made sure he was super comfortable. I’m so thankful we found her!”

Leah C.

“Christina & John were excellent hosts for our dog, Maya! I think she had so much fun she won’t want to come home! They are super friendly and have a nice home. You can tell they really care for all dogs and enjoyed taking care of our Maya. We would love to use them again one day!”

Karly S.

“Alena was great- my dog loved his time there and she updated me every day that we were gone. We will use Alena again! I already have recommended her to others.”

Gray M.

“Our dog Toby Keith has a new best friend after being w chuck for a couple of days. Chuck did a great job of sending pictures and updates of Toby and made us know that Toby was in good hands while we were away.”

About: A safe, loving, and fun home away from home for your pup! My home is full of love for dogs and all their unique personalities. I have two dogs of my own—Oreo (4) and Wylie (2)—who are friendly, well-socialized, and comfortable around dogs of all sizes. They love to play, but they’re also great at entertaining each other if your pup prefers a calmer, more relaxed environment. With plenty of free time during the day, I’m able to provide lots of attention, care, walks, and companionship to make sure your dog feels comfortable and happy. I treat every dog like family and am committed to providing reliable, loving care tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pup has a specific routine, training schedule, or special instructions, I’m happy to follow it closely to help them feel safe and consistent while you’re away. When your dog stays with me, it’s like visiting their fun uncle and cousins—full of love, playtime, and comfort—so they come home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I also provide daily photo and video updates, and I’m always available if you’d like to check in for extra peace of mind! Since I have plenty of free time during the day, I’m able to structure my schedule around the dogs in my care. My days typically include regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and lots of attention and supervision. I live in an apartment that offers plenty of space for pups to play, relax, and enjoy lots of love and cuddles. My home is fully stocked with toys, healthy treats, and potty pads if needed to help your dog feel comfortable and cared for. I keep my home clean, safe, and secure at all times, making sure pets don’t have access to anything harmful. I’m very attentive to each dog’s unique needs and make it a priority to provide regular potty breaks, multiple walks throughout the day, and personalized care. I’m also fortunate to have easy access to great walking trails in my neighborhood, which makes for fun sniffing adventures, exercise, and enriching outdoor time for your pup!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire childhood and adult life — my previous dog lived to 17 years old (60 lbs), and my current dog has been with me since she was a puppy. I’ve watched many breeds and sizes over the years, from tiny lap dogs to large, energetic pups. I’m comfortable with different temperaments, routines, and needs, and I take the time to make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and understood. We live in a dog‑friendly home with a fenced‑in backyard that stays mostly shaded, which is perfect for hot Texas days. My dog is friendly and would love to play with yours if they’re willing. She’s gentle, social, and enjoys having a buddy around. She can get annoyed with younger dogs if they jump or get in her face but she lets them know with a growl. My kids love helping with visiting dogs. Depending on your dog’s behavior and comfort level, they may: • Hold the leash during walks • Help with feeding • Play fetch or chase in the yard • Snuggle at bedtime if your dog enjoys that Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first, so we adjust based on their needs. I do require a meet‑and‑greet before watching any animal. I also prefer a trial overnight stay before any long stays to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone — your dog, my dog, my kids, and the overall environment. To make sure your dog is safe, comfortable, and set up for success, please share details about whether they are: • Excessive barkers • Aggressive with other dogs (food, treats, toys) • Door dashers • Cat friendly • Kid friendly • People friendly • Marking • Territorial • Highly anxious • Jumpers • Chewers • Diggers • Climbers • Able to be left alone and for how long This helps me tailor their stay and ensure they’re safe, happy, and comfortable. I care for animals of all sizes and breeds, and I’m happiest when I get to love on your pets throughout the day. For out of home care: I only accept clients within 10 miles of my home so I can visit multiple times a day (if needed) and give your pets the attention they deserve. I can either let out for a bathroom break or go for a walk. For in-home and out-of-home care: Before booking, please share your feeding instructions, medications, allergies, and any special routines. My kids enjoy helping with walks and playtime, so let me know if your dog pulls or has any quirks on leash. For in-home care: I’m home most of the day, but I do occasionally leave for errands or volunteering. Please be upfront if you expect me not to leave for more than a certain number of hours — and what you’d like me to do if something unexpected comes up. A typical day includes breakfast and bathroom breaks, followed by a morning or late‑morning walk depending on weather. I provide lunch if your pet’s diet allows, bathroom breaks as needed, and lots of playtime and affection. Dinner is usually around 5 PM unless you prefer otherwise, and there’s a final bathroom break before bedtime around 10 PM. Pets are welcome on my furniture unless you prefer otherwise in your home. Requirements before booking: MUST BE GOOD AROUND KIDS AND OTHER DOGS IF STAYING IN OUR HOME • Meet‑and‑greet for all out‑of‑home care • One overnight stay for all in‑home care • Veterinarian contact • **Medication details****/**dosages • Feeding schedule • Allergy information • Behavioral notes (anxiety, reactivity, pulling, aggression toward dogs, aversions to sounds, etc.)

“Quinn's first stay with Rachel was a wonderful experience — and definitely not the last! Rachel and her family showered Quinn with attention, and Rachel did a great job keeping me in the loop with regular photos and videos. So grateful for the loving care Quinn received!”
