Dog Boarding in Round Rock, TX

What's Included With Dog Boarding in Round Rock
Every overnight stay at Dog Boarding Round Rock includes the same cage-free daytime program your dog would get on a daycare visit, plus quiet overnight rest in a climate-controlled indoor suite. There is no "kennel-only" tier and no "play upgrade" up-sell. Every night includes:
- Cage-free group play during all open hours, split into two groups by size and energy
- A raised cot, fresh water, and quiet rest periods between play sessions
- On-site overnight staff for late potty breaks, settling in, and middle-of-the-night incidents
- Real-time webcam access in both play areas, including evening play sessions
- Administration of routine oral and topical medications at no extra charge
- Daily portion-controlled feeding using the food you supply
The boarding rate is one flat overnight price. We do not nickel-and-dime for things like medication, group play, or extra potty breaks the way some chain facilities do. If anything specific to your dog's routine matters to you, mention it at your trial day and we'll build it into their stay.
Signs Boarding Is the Right Fit (and When It Isn't)
Boarding works beautifully for most dogs that are reasonably social with other dogs, comfortable away from their family for a few days, and current on vaccinations. It works especially well for:
- Dogs who already do well at daycare and just need overnight care during a trip
- High-energy dogs who would otherwise be stuck alone in a quiet hotel room with a sitter
- Owners who want webcam transparency rather than guessing how their dog is doing
- Dogs on routine medication where a sitter would have trouble keeping the schedule
Boarding is not the right fit for every dog. Severely fear-aggressive dogs, dogs with active behavioral issues around other dogs, and very young puppies still building their initial vaccine series are better served by in-home pet sitting. The complimentary trial day exists for exactly this reason: we'd rather tell you on day one that your dog would be happier with a sitter than push through a boarding stay that doesn't work for them.
Our Boarding Process, Step by Step
- Free trial day evaluation. Every new boarder starts with a complimentary trial day so we can introduce them to the appropriate play group and confirm they're comfortable. This usually takes a single half- or full-day visit.
- Booking confirmed by phone or email. Once your dog passes the trial, we book your specific dates and confirm any medication or feeding notes.
- Check-in during normal pickup hours. Drop off during posted hours with food and meds. We do not run early or late check-ins because they disrupt the dogs already in care.
- Daily play, nightly rest, on-site overnight staff. Your dog spends days with the pack and nights resting on a raised cot in a quiet suite. Webcams stay live during open hours.
- Check-out and report. At pickup we tell you how their stay went, what they ate, and anything you should know going home.
How Boarding Pricing Works
Our boarding rate is a single flat overnight price per dog, with discounts for multi-dog families staying together and multi-night stays. The rate already includes the full day of group play, so there is no add-on fee for daycare during the stay. We do not charge extra for routine medication administration, basic enrichment, or webcam access.
For exact current pricing call (737) 201-1569 or include your dates in the form above and we will send a written quote the same business day. Holiday weeks (Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring break, July 4th) typically book 4 to 8 weeks in advance.
Why Round Rock Families Choose Us for Boarding
Longest tenure in Round Rock
We have been a family-operated dog boarding business in Round Rock since 2006, the longest tenure of any cage-free facility in the city. Many of our overnight clients have boarded their dogs here every vacation for a decade or more.
Overnight staff on-site
Not "on call." Not "check-ins." A staff member is on the property every single night while dogs are here, handling late potty breaks, settling in nervous first-timers, and being present for anything that comes up. This is the part of boarding most facilities cut to save labor; we don't.
Group play, not kennel time
Stacked-kennel boarding is associated with elevated stress markers in dogs (Journal of Veterinary Behavior, 2020). Our entire boarding model is built around the alternative: full days of supervised group play with raised-cot rest, then quiet overnight in a climate-controlled suite.
Boarding FAQ
Is overnight staff really on-site?
Yes. A staff member is on the property every night while dogs are boarding. They handle late-evening potty breaks, check on dogs settling in, and respond immediately to anything unusual. This is non-negotiable, every night, no exceptions.
Is daytime play included in the boarding rate?
Yes. Every boarding day includes our full cage-free group play program at no extra charge. We do not run kennel-only boarding. Your dog plays during open hours, then rests on a raised cot in our quiet suites overnight.
Can you give my dog their medication?
Yes. We administer routine oral and topical medications at no additional charge. For insulin, injectables, or more complex regimens, let us know during your trial day and we'll confirm we can safely handle the schedule before booking.
How far in advance should I book holiday boarding?
Holiday weeks (Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring break, July 4th) fill up 4 to 8 weeks in advance. Book early. Once we're full, we hold a waitlist but most weeks every cancellation gets filled within 24 hours, so the waitlist is not a reliable plan.
What should I bring for my dog's overnight stay?
Bring your dog's food pre-portioned in labeled bags, any medications with written instructions, and one familiar item like a blanket or toy. We provide raised cots, water bowls, and treats. Do not bring bedding you would be heartbroken to lose, occasionally things get chewed.
