Fur Pet Care

Fur Pet Care is an Austin, Texas pet care company offering cage-free dog boarding in Austin, along with dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting. Boarding is in-home rather than in a facility, so dogs stay in a team member's house instead of a kennel run. Sitters are insured and experienced, and dogs are supervised around the clock.

What services are available

• Cage-free, in-home boarding for dogs
• Dog walking in 20, 40, and 60 minute options
• Drop-in pet sitting and overnight pet sitting in the owner's home
• Pet taxi transportation, plus pickup and drop-off
• Daily photo and video updates

How the boarding works

A dog stays in the home of one of the company's sitters, with no cage or kennel run involved. That setup tends to suit dogs who settle better in a house than in a room of runs. Sitters can administer medication, which matters for older dogs and anyone on a daily prescription. Owners get photo and video updates each day of the stay.

Pickup and drop-off is available, so owners who can't manage a handoff on either end still have a way to get their dog there. The company's own site leans hard on personal attention and treating pets like family, and the service mix reflects that. The team also takes a couple of less common requests: acting as a pet attendant through a wedding ceremony and reception, and sitting for backyard chickens.

Published nightly boarding rates run $45 to $60. Booking is handled online, and the company can also be reached at 512-660-7919 or austin@furpetcare.com. Fur Pet Care serves owners in Austin, TX.
