South Austin Dog Daycare & Boarding

Welcome to ATX Dog Camp at Crow – South Austin’s Choice for Premium Dog Daycare

South Austin families want a place where their dogs can play freely, relax comfortably, and feel genuinely cared for. ATX Dog Camp at Crow offers an experience rooted in space, nature, and thoughtful structure, making it a favorite for pet parents who want something far better than the typical indoor setup.

What sets us apart is our natural outdoor model, designed for a balanced day of activity. Instead of loud indoor rooms or artificial turf boxes, dogs enjoy a wide, open environment that helps them settle in with confidence. Our program focuses on small groups, personalized interaction, and a rhythm that supports healthy play and restful breaks. The result is a premium experience that feels different the moment each dog steps onto the property.

If you want a nature-forward dog daycare in South Austin, ATX Dog Camp gives your dog the chance to thrive in an outdoor setting that is both playful and peaceful.

Our Daycare Experience – Play, Rest and Enrichment in Nature

A typical play day at ATX Dog Camp blends movement, rest, and enrichment in a way that helps dogs stay balanced and happy. When dogs arrive, they meet familiar staff who greet them calmly and guide them into small, carefully matched groups. Our three-quarter-acre natural grass play yard gives them room to explore new scents, stretch their legs, and discover their own comfortable rhythm for the day.

Dogs rotate between four specialized yards designed by size, temperament, and play style. This kind of thoughtful separation allows puppies, shy dogs, seniors, and high-energy personalities to each enjoy a space that suits them.

Small groups of five to ten dogs create a far better social setting than the oversized groups common in traditional daycare. Smaller numbers give our staff the chance to offer real individual attention and help dogs learn healthy interactions.

Throughout the day, dogs move between active outdoor play, quiet rest breaks, and guided enrichment activities. Staff members are always present, stepping in to support positive play and helping dogs find comfort when they need downtime. The goal is to create a day that feels natural and enjoyable.

Families choose our daycare because it gives dogs something deeper than basic exercise. The routine, the environment, and the thoughtful supervision help create a genuinely healthy experience that supports mental and physical well-being.

Overnight Boarding and Extended Stay – A Low-Stress Stay for Your Dog

Dog boarding at ATX Dog Camp offers a calm, soothing environment. Our suites and kennels are designed to help dogs rest peacefully, with soft bedding, relaxing lighting, and a layout that reduces anxiety. We offer tailored rooms for single or multi-dog families and a crate-minimized approach that supports a low-stress stay.

Daily routines include outdoor play, personal check-ins, and plenty of human interaction. Overnight staff remain on-site, so dogs are never alone in the building. That way, dogs wake up rested and ready for another day of play, surrounded by people who understand their personalities and needs.

For South Austin residents, we offer an easy drop-off location close to home. For travelers flying out of Austin’s airport, our spot is ideal for leaving your dog in good hands before a trip.

Safety, Staff and Trust – The Backbone of Our Premium Care

Safety is at the heart of everything we do. Our team completes a two-month onboarding program before leading any playgroups. This training period teaches staff how to:

  • Read dog behavior
  • Support positive interactions
  • Guide groups with calm, confident energy

Every team member also learns proper safety protocols, fire plans, and procedures built in collaboration with Austin Animal Control.

We also take care to evaluate dogs before they can join a group. Each dog is evaluated so we can learn their preferences, sensitivities, and comfort levels. This thoughtful process helps us create the right environment for every dog to thrive.

Memberships, Packages and Value – Frequent-Visitor Options for South Austin Owners

Families who visit often love our membership options, which are designed to offer both value and convenience. Membership tiers range from flexible plans for moderate attendance to all-inclusive packages for frequent guests. Monthly plans typically range from 20% – 30% off per month and give dogs consistent access to the environment they love.

We also feature a handy credits system that makes it easy to buy multiple play days at reduced rates. Members often add optional bathing, so their dog comes home clean after a full day of fun. These options make a tremendous difference for families who want a routine that fits their lives.

Compared to standard drop-in models at other facilities, membership gives your dog the chance to enjoy a familiar environment with familiar friends and consistent staff. This can go a long way in building comfort, trust, and emotional well-being over time.

ATX Dog Camp App and Owner Transparency – Digital Convenience Meets Premium Care

Our app is designed for modern life, simplifying the experience and keeping owners connected. Pet parents can schedule visits, handle payments, upload medical information, and reserve boarding service with just a few taps. The app also allows messaging with staff, photo updates, and even friend-tracking so you can see which dogs your pup enjoyed spending time with.

For busy professionals, remote workers, and families juggling full schedules, this digital convenience makes a real difference. Everything stays organized in one place, and parents stay connected to their dogs throughout the day.

We’re proud to say our combination of trained staff, structured routines, and clear communication gives South Austin pet parents peace of mind from start to finish.
