Camp Zoo and Pet Ranch 6501 Ridge Oak Road, Austin, TX 78749

"My dog never looks happier than when he is walking (sprinting) into Camp Zoo Pet Ranch. It's clear the staff really cares about each and every dog and makes sure they are having a great time at camp. The large yard ensures lots of playtime for all the dogs and even in the heat they bring out pools and make sure the dogs get ample playtime inside and out. They frequently post videos on Instagram so you can check in on your pup as well. If you're looking for a daycare or boarding facility where your dog will be truly loved while also getting to spend the majority of their time running around with friends outside I highly recommend Camp Zoo!"

"We have been taking our dog, Charlie, to Camp Zoo for about 10 months now, and we absolutely love it. Mark and his staff are outstanding and do such a great job watching after all of the dogs. You don’t have to worry about bringing food or treats or anything - they take care of all of that. Every time Charlie spends the day or weekend at camp zoo he comes home absolutely exhausted, so I know he had a great time. Also, he’s always so happy to see Mark when we drop him off, so I know he’s treated well. There’s an Instagram account you can follow, so you can see video evidence of your dog having the time of their life. Keep up the great work Mark and team!"

"This is the BEST doggy daycare in Austin! I took my 1 year old “nervous” socially-challenged Aussie here and Marked gave him a chance, worked with him, and brought him out of his shell. It was hard letting him for for the day, but Mark posted videos and I could see how my Banjo was doing…not so great on the first day, but MUCH better on day two, thanks to Mark’s 1-1 time with my dog. Mark really cares, and I now know my dog is going to grow into a happier more socialized dog. I love that Mark supervised the dogs all day, and I know my dog is safe here. I have a lot of trust and confidence in Camp Zoo. There are many other brand names doggy daycares out there, but my friends have had their dogs injured and neglected elsewhere. I would take my Banjo anywhere else but here. ❤️"

"Mark and his team are amazing! Our rescue dog has significant anxiety and had likely never been boarded before. We did a lot of research looking for the right place. I chose Mark’s primarily because the dogs get so much outside time and it had such a homely (rather than corporate) feel. Could not be happier with our decision! Our pup had a great time and loved Mark! We really enjoyed the daily videos which put my mind at ease. She came home super tired and happy. We are planning on leaving for a longer vacation out of the country later this year and I will absolutely be bringing her back. Thank you Mark and your team! :)"

"When we were planning our two-week vacation, we were worried about leaving our Australian Shepherd Echo at a boarding facility because he does not like being alone or locked up in a crate. We looked at over a dozen places all over Austin and this looked like the best option for our boy. He has separation anxiety and we have never left him overnight away from us before. We try to plan our vacations around him so that he can come along but since we were leaving the country we knew it would be too difficult to bring him. We didn't like the thought of him being locked up for two weeks in a crate or small room and left overnight while the staff goes home after the business closes for the night. After we had our first visitation, we knew Echo would be in good hands with Mark and Teri. Since they run the business out of their home, they are always with the dogs and even let the dogs sleep on their bed with them at night (like Echo is used to with us). They take the dogs outside more than several times a day and let them run around together and play. The best part is that they send videos daily of the dogs and it was so relieving knowing he was safe and having a good time. We never once were worried about him and it gave us great peace of mind and let us enjoy our vacation. We are so glad this place exists and never want to take him anywhere else in the future. For the great care the dogs get, the price is very reasonable and was cheaper than several other places nearby. It wasn't a dog-jail like many other dog boarding facilities. Thanks again Mark and Teri! Echo had a great time!"
