Rising Star Pet Ranch

I honestly would give a higher star rating if I could. I am so beyond happy with this place. From my first interaction to my last, it could not have been better! Another boarding facility lost one of our dogs — yes LOST — and we already had a Christmas trip planned and I was so scared to leave my lone dog again — ever again. The owner was so kind to me and so incredibly understanding. When my dog was dropped off, my son thoroughly inspected the place (he’s 12) and I was flabergasted that he was even shown the kennel area. And my baby was upgraded to a suite where it was quieter — he was so nervous to be left again after the last traumatic experience! When I came to pick up my angel, he was SO happy. He wasn’t frantic (like he had been before at the other facility) and seemed to have had a great time. He smelled great and we walked back with the owner to go get him — right through all the kennels. She is not at all shy about showing anyone the facility. It is SO well kept. So clean. Extra gates and safeguards in place to assure no dogs escape. Even the main gate to the property is kept locked and dropping off and picking up is by appointment only so as to assure the safest environment possible.
I have found my baby’s home away from home when we travel and I couldn’t be happier. And next time, he’ll have his brother back with him too and we will know they will BOTH be super well taken care of.
Thank you so much!!!

Just dropped my pups off for the 2^nd time at the ranch. They are very helpful in unloading the 3 dogs of mine along with bedding and food. The first time I brought them in I was taken into the back to see wear my dogs would be staying. NEVER HAVE I BEEN INVITED INTO THE BACK AT ANOTHER PLACE. It was VERY clean. Every time I’ve been there I look at the other dogs kennels. I’ve never seen a mess. Also it doesn’t smell! Not one bit!
It’s clean
Dogs can go inside or outside within their kennel
Prices are great
Dogs are happy when I pick them up
Seriously try this place… Even if you had to drive, it’s worth it!
Thanks for caring for my pups like they’re your own!

We took our moronic yet sweet Golden Retriever here when we went on vacation and he had a blast. They were kind and professional, the entire place was clean and smelled great. We could tell that they REALLY like dogs. I get more nervous leaving my dog places than my kids — my kids can talk! — and I had zero reservations leaving my sweet boy there. We’re headed to the beach later this summer and I know my boy is looking forward to his Rising Star vacation as much as we’re looking forward to Padre vacation! (They do grooming, too — they do a really good job!)

This is an amazing place to leave your family pet! My Ricco has been going for several years now and he LOVES it! I moved. Although I still drive all the way from Buda. He starts barking and literally pulls ME into the front door! The staff there is awesome to! I totally recommend this place!
