Best Friends Boarding Too

Fantastic all the way around! Clean and incredibly friendly staff, top notch facility — excited to come back! We usually use a house sitter but for Christmas this year everyone is out of town so we needed an actually boarding facility– we got to Best Friends and fell in love.

My boyfriend and I wanted to take a mini vacation. We decided to leave our girl at Best Friends Too. We dropped her off a little nervous, having never dropped her off at anywhere other than the vet. They let us walk the facility, which is SO NICE! The woman at the front, which I believe was probably Kimberly, the owner, was extremely professional and very nice. We booked our pups next stay before we left after picking her up.
Recommended to my future Father-​In-​Law as well as a great place for him to leave his dog as.

We were thrilled with the boarding and grooming here at Best Friends! Great staff, WONDERFUL facilities, and great care the prices are reasonable and we could not be happier. Highly recommend! Love this place!

GREAT PLACE!!! This was the first time to board my dog at this Best Friends Boarding Too. The kennels are very well maintained and grounds are nicely manicured. All the boarded dogs were happy and playing in fenced areas while being supervised. The pricing is very affordable. The staff was very nice and attentive to me and my dog. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great kennel.

We have been using this kennel for 7 years, first Rosanky and now Cedar Creek, these people are the best. This is not a stay and play kennel, we do not want our dog being injured or beat up, we want a safe, clean and loving care environment and this is what you get with these great people.

Best Friends is the best! I always feel confident when I leave my bestie Sherman here! And the grooming staff really impressed me. I had a vet tell me my 8 year old mastif mix would have to be fully sedated to be able to Dremel his claws, and she fixed him up in a few sessions. His long claws had been affecting his back and now he is more relaxed and less flinchy. Amazing! THANK YOU LADIES!

We love our little dog and we would not leave him just anywhere. We board our Pomeranian here everytime we need to go out of town. We trust them with him, and he always seems to be happy. We trust them to look after him and treat him well. We use their grooming service also and they keep him in great trim.

Amazing place.

Best Friends Boarding Kennel is amazing! I highly recommend this place whether you live in Bastrop county or in Austin. The owners genuinly love animals and have a passion for offering the best care for your pet. The newly built beautiful property has a variety of different accomodations for your pet and the prices are very affordable too. I typically book the private cabin for my dog Scotty with his own yard and pool play time. If you dont live very near this kennel its definitely worth the short drive– no other place compares to Best Friends Boarding Too!

We boarded our three and then two dogs here mostly for doggie day care for about 8 months when we were without a yard. At first we loved it, we thought our guys were being well taken care of and loved. As the months went on, one of our dogs suffered bloat at home and was recuperating from surgery. Unfortunately I still had to go to work since it was a new job so he had to go to day care. I left food and meds for him to be given during the day. Unless Christie was there, he was not given either, they were still there when I came to pick them up. I even provided a throw away bowl and spoon to minimize their labor in feeding him. I was not happy. I also realized that if you board overnight your pet is left unattended from 5pm to 7am the next day. That’s 14 hours, an awfully long time to be locked into a small room with no place to potty, the dogs do not have access to the yards when the facility is closed. If you are leaving meds that are to be administered on a set schedule keep that in mind if you choose to leave your pet here. They also lack any type of fire protection, most especially fire sprinklers, although they gave us the impression they had them. In speaking with other owners who left their animals here we realized that there was no consistency in pricing. Apparently Dawn determines what she thinks you can afford and charges you accordingly. I was also told by a former customer that during holiday weekends your dog may be stacked in a portable kennel to maximize space instead of the run that you are charged for. Not very ethical in my opinion. My last comment is that one of my dogs has a sensitive paw that was injured prior to our adopting him. One of the attendants was putting him in the run and either he slipped on that paw or she inadvertently closed the door on it, He snapped at her, grazing her hand. Dawn called me the next day, not when it happened, but more than 24 hours later, to tell me she would have to report him to animal control as having bitten her worker. I was really shocked, not only because she had waited so long to call me, but I thought I was leaving my dogs with professionals who were trained to deal with all types of temperaments and circumstances. This was also after our dogs had been there for more than 5 months showing no problems or aggressive characteristics at all. The attendant’s hand was slightly scratched, the skin was not broken and if there was a bruise it was very slight. I have experienced much worse working in animal rescue. Fortunately for me and my dog, the doctor the attendant saw, at the insistence of Dawn, did not feel compelled to report my dog to animal control because my dog could have been quarantined or worse. This is not a place I would trust my furry family members with ever again.

LOVE everything about this place and the great folks that run it. I personally dealt with Dawn and Kristy and they couldn’t have been sweeter! My two schnauzers who, are very spoiled, loved it there! Please go by and check it out, you’ll be amazed at the grounds and how affordable such pet luxury can be.

How are there no reviews for this place? It is TREMENDOUS!
We were really in a pinch over the Holidays. We unexpectedly needed to go out of town, and our usual kennel of choice (Stay n Play) was booked far in advance. Luckily, Best Friends Boarding, Too had an opening.
On the phone the woman I spoke with was very kind and informative. When we dropped our dog off, they gave us a tour of the facility, and let my husband take our four year old in the yard to say goodbye. He was able to see his pet wagging her tail in the beautiful yard and he was relieved. He espescially liked the idea that she might take a swim in the bone-​shaped pool!
While we were on our trip they emailed us photos of our dog with nice messages to update us on her great visit. She looked happy in all the pictures and we felt very comfortable knowing she was being cared for by people who clearly knew who she was, instead of just a number in a kennel.
Her condo was awesome — like her own little log cabin of sorts with a little sidewalk and yard. The play yards are green and clean, and planty big enough. The whole facility was spotless, and the main office/​lobby felt like checking in to a resort. We felt that the prices were spot-​on reasonable. She was groomed before we collected her and she smelled great for weeks. Not offensive, just clean and snuggle-​able. What else can I tell you — this kennel is awesome!
We will definitely let our pup stay with her new friends at BFBT again. Yippee!
