At Happy Tails, we built something we couldn't find anywhere else in Austin — a dog care experience that treats your pet the way you would. Our open, cage-free environment is designed by animal behaviorists, staffed by certified caregivers, and run with a level of transparency that sets us apart entirely.
Every dog that walks through our doors gets a personalised care plan, consistent handlers, and more love than they can handle. From sunrise drop-offs to overnight stays, we are here to make your dog's day — and yours.

We live in Travis Heights and have tried every daycare in South Austin. Happy Tails is in a different league. Alex on the morning team knows our golden, Biscuit, better than most people do. He comes home genuinely tired and genuinely happy — every single day.
Our border collie Luna was a mess socially when we adopted her. Three weeks into Happy Tails' socialization program with trainer Marcus, she's a completely different dog. The daily photo updates and report cards gave us a real window into her progress. Genuinely life-changing.
I travel constantly for work. Finding Happy Tails meant I stopped dreading work trips. My two labs, Tank and Rosie, get picked up at my door in Westlake, and I get photos before my first meeting. The overnight boarding is flawless. I won't take them anywhere else.
