The Acre
South Austin Dog Daycare & Boarding
Foundations of Our Nature-Driven Dog Care Experience
At The Acre at Crow, we believe dogs thrive in open spaces where fresh air, sunlight, and natural terrain keep tails wagging. Unlike typical facilities that rely on small, indoor play areas, our dog care center in Austin, TX offers a full acre of real grass. In fact, it’s the largest outdoor space of its kind in the area. This setting gives dogs room to roam, run, and play freely.
We’ve created a summer-camp-style experience for dogs that focuses on enrichment, outdoor play, and small group interactions. Our approach is rooted in quality care, transparency, and genuine connection. Every dog enjoys meaningful engagement with our team and other pups, rather than being confined to crowded kennels. Plus, pet parents can feel supported by real-time updates through our app and the trust of the local Austin community.
We offer a thoughtful environment where dogs can explore and grow in a space designed entirely for their well-being. Here, safety and joy come first.

Safety Protocols & Staff Excellence That You Can Trust
From the moment a dog steps onto our property, their safety and comfort guide every action we take. Before joining group play, each dog completes a temperament evaluation and must be up to date on vaccinations. Before leading play sessions, our staff members undergo months of training where they gain hands-on experience as well as certification in canine behavior, group management, and first aid.
We’ve built layered safeguards into our facility. These include multiple yards for different sizes and temperaments, secure fencing throughout the property, and overnight supervision. Fire-safety procedures and emergency protocols are in place to protect every guest.
Our team takes pride in their work, communicating clearly and consistently through our app so you always know how your dog’s day is going. This commitment to care and transparency is why pet parents across the city trust The Acre at Crow to keep their companions happy, healthy, and safe.
Enrichment Activities
At our South Austin facility, your dogs’ happiness is our top priority. Through our daycare and boarding services, we offer a range of options including solo and group play, water feature activities, personalized attention from our staff, and soothing music to create a calm environment. Elevate their experience with enrichment items such as various dog chews.
During their stay, your furry companions will enjoy tailored activities such as solo play sessions, refreshing water play on hot days, individualized attention, and calming evening music to ensure a fulfilling experience. Enrichment items available for purchase, such as bones, puzzles, and treats, provide mental stimulation and joy.
Dog’s First Day
We interview all our dogs with a Play Day Evaluation. During your pup’s initial visit, we gradually introduce them to the pack while closely observing their interactions. Throughout the day, we capture moments with pictures and provide a comprehensive report card upon pickup.

Why The Acre at Crow Stands Apart
When pet owners visit The Acre, they quickly notice what makes our approach special. Fresh air, soft grass, and engaging activities create a space where dogs can move freely and express their natural instincts. Plus, our wide-open yards, small playgroups, and carefully structured routines allow dogs to build confidence and feel at ease.
Our community reputation speaks for itself. Clients often share how their dogs come home relaxed, happy, and better adjusted. This reflects our balanced approach to socialization and play. By keeping groups small and well-supervised, we work hard to reduce stress and create a more positive environment for every dog. There’s also our proximity to the airport, which adds convenience for travelers.
The Acre is trusted by Austin pet owners who value honest care, excellent communication, and genuine attention to detail. We focus on quality time spent with each dog, not flashy marketing.
Here, every tail wag tells the story of a place built for trust, happiness, and lasting peace of mind.
