EXCELLENT Based on 26 reviews Posted on Sarah HoetingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James took incredible care of our English Mastiff while we were out of town for 5 days. She’s typically quite hesitant around others, but she warmed up quickly to him. He sent us pictures, kept us updated, and was incredibly flexible. I can’t recommend him and PetCaddy enough. 10/10 experience; we’ll absolutely be back in the future.Posted on Masha GradushyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Pet Caddy was great! They were able to accommodate us last minute, and our dog had so much fun. James was responsive, communicative, and provided photos and updates while we were gone, which is always appreciated. Thank you!Posted on Jazmin OntiverosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Pet Caddy was the best decision! I was hesitant given past experiences with other companies but everything was so smooth! Got daily updates with pictures. Truly gave me peace of mind leaving my little one there. Will definitely be coming backPosted on Victoria EddlemanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Pet Caddy has been such a great place for my dog to stay whenever I’m out of town. The communication is helpful. They are great with giving me updates each day on how my dog is doing and it gives me such a peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands. Scheduling boarding visits is also very easy. Thankfully I found Pet Caddy!Posted on Rachelle AikensTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had some great dog boarders for my little Bostons in the past, but none as outstanding as Pet Caddy. From the start, they were fantastic. Their facility is new, spotless, and thoughtfully designed. The team is friendly, professional, and clearly passionate — they treated my pups like their own. We stopped by for a quick meet and greet and were immediately impressed. My dogs’ first stay ended up being extended due to post-surgery travel, and Pet Caddy kept me updated the entire time with daily photos and notes. The updates weren’t just reassuring — they showed how much the team genuinely enjoyed being with my dogs, and how much fun the pups were having in return. I’m in the Spicewood area, and they even offered drop-off service, which was a huge help. I’ve already booked their next stay. It gave me complete peace of mind to be away knowing my dogs were in such good hands. I couldn’t be more grateful.Posted on Annie TastoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our bernedoodle Rudy stayed with PetCaddy on fairly short notice and James and their team was so helpful and communicative through the whole booking process and all of Rudy’s stay. I loved seeing pictures of Rudy running around and he returned to us as happy as could be. Thank you PetCaddy!Posted on Dj EadyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a phenomenal experience with the pet caddy team. Initially a very stressful experience as it was our first time ever boarding and being separated from our pups but they made us extremely comfortable and their consistent updates put us at ease. I absolutely recommend and will most definitely be using them in the futurePosted on Cecelia ClarkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We highly recommend Pet Caddy for your boarding needs ,the set up is very spacious and James thoroughly explained everything and he sent daily updates with pictures of our dog ,he was only there 4 days and when we came to pick him up initially he was hesitant about coming to us then I guess he realized oh my family came back for me he is only 6mths old so I know he was care of very well for him to respond like that initially a huge thank you for taking such great care of Astro!!! The Clark Family .Posted on Studio CoffeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Pet Caddy! This was my dog Blu’s first time boarding with them, and they took amazing care of her. If you’re looking for a safe, loving place to board your pup, definitely choose Pet Caddy. They are the nicest people, and I felt completely at ease leaving my fur baby in their home. Blu came back happy, loved, and well cared for — I will definitely be boarding with them again!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Instead of tight indoor spaces or cold training halls, our dogs learn in open-air environments with room to move, focus, and stay calm. Distractions become learning opportunities.
Our resident pup Kahn models calm behavior and helps other dogs stay relaxed during sessions. He’s not just a good boy. He’s part of the team.
Sit, stay, come, leave it, leash manners…we teach what actually matters at home, on walks, and at the vet. No gimmicks. Just practical progress.
We keep our training groups small to give each dog focused attention. For pups who need even more support, we also offer one-on-one coaching.
Our trainers use positive reinforcement to build trust and motivation. We never use harsh corrections or fear-based techniques. Learning should feel good.
Whether you’ve got a stubborn teenager or a wild little pup, we’re here to help you both speak the same language. Our ranch setting and expert guidance make learning smoother, for dogs and their humans.
Perfect for:
✔️ Puppies starting with the basics
✔️ Rescue dogs learning the ropes
✔️ Overexcited dogs who need structure
✔️ Pet parents looking for real-world manners
