I recently moved to Austin and shopped around for large dog boarding options. I took my dog to Taurus for his initial play date/evaluation. Very informed and attentive staff. I loved that they provided a tour of the facility and an evaluation of my dog's first day. The staff called me mid day to let me know how my dog was doing. Loved that extra attention. I highly recommend this facility.

I've been with Taurus for 3 years and I have to set the record straight - you'll never find a staff more knowledgeable than them. From the moment a kennel technician is hired, they start learning about dog communication, behavior, breeds, play styles, etc.. They group all the dogs by size/weight class and no more than 10 dogs in a play group at a time. There is always someone in the play yard watching your dogs and enforcing appropriate types of play in the yards. Not only do they go through extensive training to offer a saf... read more

My dog Lucy has boarded at Taurus twice now, and Emily has stayed there three times, plus they both had an evaluation playday. They come home tired, healthy, and unscathed, so we are pleased. I will likely take them there again, but Taurus is my second choice after DogTown. I am torn between three and four stars. Pros: - The dogs seem reasonably happy and are healthy and well-cared-for at Taurus. I know they get lots of playtime. They come home relatively clean, all things considered. Taurus is definitely in the upper tie... read more

Our furry family member, Jameson, just loves Taurus. Trust me--he is not the easiest little fella to deal with as he's finicky & shy, but Taurus loves him almost as much as I do. I never worry about Jameson as I know he's in good hands with Taurus. Taurus was highly recommended by a Trainer we had worked with as their staff comprises of Trainers. If you need to leave your furry family member with trustworthy & caring people, I highly recommend Taurus. They're definitely a lovely bunch!

Kelly and her team went WAY above and beyond when taking care of our dog while we were out of town. Even when she needed some extra care, they treated her like she was there own.

In the time I've taken my dog to Taurus (over a year), I have never been disappointed. The team at Taurus truly cares about my dog, helping him with manners and encouraging healthy social skills. My dog gets so excited when we arrive at Taurus, and returns home better behaved and ready to rest. The folks there are extremely easy to work with.

I found out about Taurus Daycare because my sister worked there and I needed a place to take my dog during work hours. Because my sister worked at Taurus I received a discount on the services so never felt the full sting of the prices they charge for doggy day care. Their pick-up and drop-off hours are conducive to an average work day and the welcoming staff is always friendly. Recently, the lady at the desk even took the time to show me pictures of other dogs that my dog had played with; this may sound silly, but as a dog... read more

My dog LOOOOVES Taurus. Normally, my dog knows the daily routine and will go to her crate when she knows I'm leaving the house, but on the days after she returns from Taurus - either for daycare or overnight boarding - she tries to get back in the car because she thinks she is going back to Taurus! To me, that says it all. I can tell her perception of a kennel when I drop her off and pick her up, and when she goes to Taurus, she is not scared and does not try to stay close to me. She goes happily with the handler and is com... read more

We love Taurus. Our dog comes home tired from play days and happy from boarding (whereas she always has stomach issues with other kennels). I like that a person is there in the building 24/7. The people that work there seem to speak dog - they either are really great actors or REALLY care about the pooches. I think they're into it bc they will tell me specific things about my dog and fun stories from her stay there. The only thing I wish were better is the play rotation - just want the dogs to have the option to be out all ... read more
