Why board at Hip Hounds?

We've been boarding dogs for our Round Rock, Pflugerville Wells Branch and Austin clients since 2006.

Our goal is to make sure your dog's time away from home is active, engaged and they come home tired. We want them to have such a good time that they (barely) miss you!

Dog boarding without the boredom!

Q: Do you board dogs who can’t be in groups with other dogs?

No. Because of the way our facility is set up ( see diagram and pics here ) any dog not in a group has a direct sight line to the groups of dogs and, for some dogs, this can be very stressful. Our focus has always been group play and dogs than can’t be in groups tend to be pretty miserable here.

Q: Why do you require dogs be spayed/neutered at six months?

We are aware of the medical benefits of waiting to neuter for some breeds. We respect your decision to listen to your vet’s advice and wait to neuter. Our concerns surrounding neutering at six months are purely behavioral and neutering that early may not be an option for all dogs.

Q: I want to board my dog for an extended stay. Do you offer discounts for that?

Yes. We consider any stay “extended” that is 10 nights or more. You can email or call us for a quote for your extended stay.

Q: Do you offer tours of your facility?

Yes. While we can usually give a tour any time we're open, it's best to call or text us before you come by in case we're super busy and can't accommodate. We try to keep our tours of the play areas brief because seeing strangers can be a bit over-stimulating for the dogs. It's especially hard to accommodate drop-in tours on Fridays & Saturdays.

Q: Do you offer training?

No. We recommend The Dog Alliance as a great training resource.

Q: Do you offer early drop-off or late pick-up?

No. If your dog isn’t picked up from daycare by the time we close, they will be fed and boarded overnight and you will be asked to pay the boarding charge for the night. We do not offer drop-offs outside of our regular business hours . Everyone’s time is valuable and we stand by our fair but firm policies. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Q: Do you take (insert breed here) ?

We do not have any breed restrictions.

Two FREE nights of boarding for new clients. Yes, really. No additional charge, no minimum stay, no nonsense. If you're only interested in daycare, we alternately offer three free days of daycare for new daycare clients.
Full days of play! If your dog is boarding at Hip Hounds, they spend their day in supervised groups with other dogs running and playing, so they get a good night's sleep.
All dogs board indoors in our climate controlled facility.
Lots of indoor and outdoor space so dogs here for longer stays have the option to spread out and get a little time away from the other dogs if they need it.
Web cams! You can watch your dog on our live, streaming webcams while they're in groups during the day.
Top notch customer service and attention from a single-location, owner-operated facility. Hip Hounds isn't a franchise and we're not owned by an out-of-state private equity group and that means we're able to be flexible according to our client's needs while remaining safe, clean and fun!
If your dog requires medication, is fed a special diet, or you're feeding raw, there are no additional charges. Our pricing is ALL INCLUSIVE and daycare is included in the price of boarding.
We've made a conscious effort to keep our boarding affordable while still offering the same amenities as our competitors.
Straight-forward pricing. There are no add-ons or upcharges. Visit our boarding calculator to see exactly how much your dog's stay will cost.
We offer boarding passes at a reduced rate as well as discounts for extended-stay boarders.

Boarding FAQ

What’s the catch with the two free nights of boarding or three free days of daycare?

Every new client gets two free nights of boarding or three free days of daycare for a single dog. There is no catch. Really. No additional purchase is required. If you only use one free night, you can use the next free night during your next stay. If you use two of your free days of daycare and then want to use the next free day a year later, that’s fine too. We want you and your dog to be comfortable at Hip Hounds and giving you a risk-free way to do that has worked out great for us. This isn’t a “limited-time offer”, it’s the same deal we’ve been giving new customers for over a decade and we intend to continue doing it.
