I waited four months with a few visits to review Jumping Jack Dog Ranch and overall an excellent place for my dog to come to. The ranch has a wide range of services with a few you won't find elsewhere like a pool, individual fenced-in artificial turf yards, and hiking trails. They offer grooming sessions, daycare, and boarding all which my girl enjoyed. The staff is very nice and all love dogs, and my pup is always excited to come back. The grooming session was mixed with daycare so you drop off in the morning and pick up I the afternoon. You describe what you want and how short to cut their hair. The groomer did a great job with my girl where she looked and smelled great. The daycare and boarding went very well too where I received photos of her daily playing outside with staff. They have some additional options when you check in to enhance your dog's experience and comfort. Overall they take great care of your loved one. read more

Perfect place for dog lovers! We have never used the boarding option but we rent out their dog pool, we use it for our dogs who love to come here and take day of fun while taking a dip at pool. read more

I rented the doggie pool area for my dog and furiends and everyone had a blast! They have covid restrictions allowing only 10 humans and 10 dogs. Everyone loved the space. The dogs loved running around and jumping in the pool. There wasn't any dog poop around from prior rentals. They had water for the dogs but you need to bring your own bowl. The price was great for the space and time $75/hour. We will definitely be back! read more

This is the place to take your dog if your dog is your child. I will live in Austin forever just because Jumping Jack is so great. We have been taking Landry here for 1.5 years, and there is absolutely no better place. Here is a laundry list of reasons why: 1) they are no collar, positive reinforcement only 2) the staff will know your dog, remember their allergies, and love them to pieces. Your dog isn't just a number. 3) all day play (with a sweet nap-time) 4) all dogs are vetted and strategically placed into playgroups, so you know your pup will have best friends and safe play 5) special programs for dogs that don't play well with other dogs and for elderly dogs 6) kiddie pools all summer long 7) additional add-ons like nature hikes (and they will use your own harness!), pool time (they have a huge shallow and deep end pool), baths, and grooming 8) daily photos sent to you of your dog having a blast (and sometimes notes too). You'll get the most ridiculous and best photos of your dog ever (all photos here are from JJ) 9) quick and easy drop off and pickup 10) positive reinforcement only dog training available onsite (that works!) 11) solid dog beds, spacious kennels, and classical music (yes, i asked how they take care/prepare for 4th of july fireworks) 12) easy online reservation system Cons: 1) they can book up fast (because of limited space), probably even more now because of this review! read more

I asked my dog what he thought of his stay here and he said best place everrrrrrr! This place truly is impressive. They have a careful evaluation day where they introduce other dogs slowly to gauge your dog's reaction and play style to determine the best group to place your dog with. They were very accommodating during a last minute emergency where I had to board my dog during the coronavirus outbreak because my daughter had to have emergency surgery and was in the hospital for a week. My Labrador is a dork and is kind of a mess but they dealt with him very well and I was able to concentrate on my daughter and not worry about him, knowing he was in good hands and having fun. They aren't your typical daycare/boarding place in that they concentrate on training as well. God knows my dog needs that. They send pics every afternoon too! read more

Jumping Jack is by far the nicest boarding facility I've ever been to. It's doggy heaven! I always recommend this place to my friends and family. Get your dogs name on the list early because it's in high demand. Beautiful outdoor play areas with tons of options/add ons. Ask about the trail. The owner is very helpful and her team is amazing. 10 out of 10 read more

We were thrilled to finally find a safe place for our dogs. We have been searching all over and found this spot about 20 minutes from downtown austin. From the moment you pull into the ranch you are greeted by a beautiful fence welcoming you. On the left is the dog bone shaped pool for dogs. That's right you can book dog birthday parties or meet ups there! Private and perfect social distancing picnic spot. They are taking covid 19 precautions by not allowing bedding or blankets from home and drop off is done through a fence. My two little dashchunds stayed a few days, did daycare a few times and even enjoyed the spa. They came back healthy and happy and i was sent photos everyday. The owner lives on site so it makes it easier to leave them in good hands. Highly recommend this place. Thanks for looking after my pups. read more

Send my dog here for the first time for grooming. The staff was so sweet and commutative. Very fair price for quality work, plus your pup gets a fun day of daycare! Will be using them again!! read more

We live in SW Austin area. After reading mostly horrific or inconsistent reviews of other places (and in some cases, seeing the locations myself) we ended up here. The reviews were awesome and seemed fairly consistent. And they were right. The location is a little out of the way but the property is massive and beautiful. That staff is all consistently sweet personalities who love dogs. They're super communicative and transparent. They let the dogs out to play multiple times a day and evaluate which dogs your pup will do better with. I don't know what else to say. I could go on and on. If you live somewhere in S/SW Austin you're going to have a hard time finding a better place. read more

Very attentive, caring, and friendly! Love that they also give daily reports cards with photos. Highly recommend!

These people are amazing. Our dog is a very shy and sensitive dog and we weren't sure if we were going to be able to have her boarded. We tried Jumping Jack and the staff was so great with our dog. I can't say enough about how much the daily report card with pictures made our first vacation without our dog so much easier. The place is also cute and clean. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone. read more

Jumping Jack Dog Ranch - Our dog with one of the staff. So sweet and kind. - Pet Boarding Near Me - Manchaca, Texas

Unfortunately this is not a quality boarding facility for dogs that are siblings. Jumping Jack Dog Ranch does not allow siblings to play together in the same play groups, which is absolutely ridiculous and traumatizing for siblings to be separated! They are also outrageously expensive. Their rates were higher than many places in the area. I recommend not calling or even wasting your time inquiring! Jumping Jack Dog Ranch is a poor value and not worth the price for a traumatic experience. read more

I was in a serious jam and JJDR helped me so much! I was moving to the area with my two large dogs and really needed someplace to board them while we did all the paperwork for our new home and were just semi-homeless for a few days. They generally do testing of new pets prior to boarding but JJDR understood my dilemma and allowed me to bring my pets by. They didn't get to join the rest of the dogs in open play right away but they did get plenty of love and attention from the human staff. By the end of the visit, they were meeting other dogs and having a great time. Each day, I received a virtual report card which included photos of my pets enjoying the day. It was very nice to see them settling in. The staff is super responsive and I felt like they really cared about my dogs. The place itself it gorgeous, set out among rolling hills with a pool for the dogs and twinkle lights hung in the trees. It looked so nice, I almost wish I could stay there! read more

I am a former employee, so I hope to offer a "behind the scenes" point of view. The staff at Jumping Jack are incredibly well-trained on dog language and behavior and they absolutely love your dog. Each dog has notes kept on file so that the staff knows exactly what type of dogs your dog plays well with and prefers. I have worked at several facilities, and Jumping Jack are far and away the most transparent. They consider themselves your dog's advocate and will always let you know what will make your dog's experience more pleasant for them and even let you know if there would be a better fit for your dog elsewhere - they look out for your dog's best interests, no matter what! I will always be a client. read more

We truly adore Jumping Jack Dog Ranch. They provide us true peace of mind when we travel and board our dog through daily report cards (including pictures), add on services (peanut butter kongs, nature walks, and guaranteed pool time), and detailed information about their medication, stay, and grooming. I could not imagine traveling and leaving my dog anywhere else! I adore how they tailor to different dogs play personality to ensure equal treatmen read more

Could not be more happy with our experience here. You feel like you're driving up to dog paradise. We sent our pup here for 7 days. You get a report card sent to your phone everyday with 6-10 photos of their play time. We couldn't take any toys or blankets due to COVID which is understandable. But you can purchase treats for them. Their process of drop off and pick up is safe and social distant. Their facility was so clean compared to other daycares we have been to so it didn't feel like we were sending him back to the pound. Large play areas and a beautiful dog friendly pool. Pool time isn't guaranteed but it seemed he was in it every other day. We even had him groomed the night before we came back and he was spotless. It is a bit more expensive than other places in Austin but we think is worth every penny. We will 100% be returning to Jumping Jack Dog Ranch read more

These people LOVE dogs!! I didn't have to worry about my furry kid when I went on vacation. I even got pictures.

I have been looking for a good groomer for my two small dogs and I am so glad I found this place! I love that there's playtime for them while they are waiting their turn, they get to be out and interact with other dogs and run around. There's also a shallow swimming pool for the dogs to play in, I know mine will have a blast in there. The owner is super friendly and you can tell she is a dog lover and has put a lot of love and thought into her business. This is a hidden gem for all dog lovers.

No other pet boarding will compare. Ever. The ranch is PARADISE for our dog! When we pull up to the ranch, our Chewie is crying and begging to be let out of the car! The staff have always been there for us when we need them the most, they're incredibly accommodating, understanding, and shower your fur baby with unconditional love! As a pet owner, it's always nerve wracking to put your pup's care in to someone else's hands. But from the very first visit, our family and pup have been extremely impressed with the staff, amazing photo updates and videos, and all around attentiveness. This a place filled with incredible people and service! And currently, they're offering boarding and transportation for pets who are dealing with the Houston floods right now. Thank you Jumping Jack for your kind hearts always! read more

I cannot say enough about the amazing people, facility and vibe at Jumping Jack Dog Ranch! They went above and beyond for my foster dog, Freya. She got a full behavioral evaluation plus a whole lotta loving! She was tired for a couple days after her stay which was an added bonus. I appreciated the pictures every day as much as the video evaluation. Freya made new friends and I knew she was being well taken care of. If you are in the Austin area or can drive from Houston, like I did, I recommend JJDR for your boarding, daycare and/or foster evaluations any day. read more

Jumping Jack and their entire team have gone above and beyond for our anxious low-rider Oscar. Oscar suffers from severe thunderstorm anxiety and separation anxiety, which can make it difficult for boarding/daycare facilities to accommodate. The owner Brett, and her staff have worked so hard to find a place where Oscar is comfortable and doesn't become a hazard to himself or other pups when he is in panic mode. When he isn't swimming in their awesome pool or hiding out in a teepee, he sits at the front of the office in a gated area where he can be close to people to ease his anxiety. He's become the new office greeter. They even created a black-out, custom blanket with his name on it to cover up his area during storms and make him feel safe. (I mean, common...how sweet is that?) Jumping Jack sends daily report cards with cute pictures and will also include any details if anything was out of the ordinary for your pet (upset tummy, etc.) We can't stress enough how much we love Jumping Jack and what they have done for us and our dog, Oscar. These are people who truly have the animal's best interests at heart. They are friendly, they are genuine, they are transparent, they are communicative, the list goes on. Thanks for all you do, JJ! read more

I can't put into words how thankful I am to have found Jumping Jack. We boarded our dog for the first time, and I was nervous, but as soon as we walked in the door, it's evident the staff not only cares for the dogs, they are genuinely excited to see them. I got daily (professional looking!) pictures of my dog, and I could tell she was truly having the time of her life. I am so deeply appreciative of the wonderful staff of dog lovers that use the expertise and huge hearts to take care of our furriest family member. Customer for life! Billie says she can't wait to come back! read more

I drive 30-40 minutes from north Austin to Jumping Jack for boarding and grooming, because it's worth it! I love the report cards they send daily, it puts me at ease to see my dog having a blast. Also, they are very receptive to grooming requests, which I really appreciate. read more

Pros: Everything. Cons: a little pricey compared to other places. However, the old adege is true here. You get what you pay for. Staff is extremely attentive/friendly, owner lives on site, they keep amazingly detailed notes of your dog, your dog gets an adorable new bandana after every grooming, they are involved in lots of non-profits, and more. I can't recommend this place enough. My dog loves it. read more

I had never left my dogs with anyone but family before and one of my dogs is barrier aggressive...so needless to say I was nervous to board them for a week! We had such a great experience here! They sent picture updates every day and you could just tell my dogs were in heaven! When we picked them up they didn't want to leave! The staff was so friendly and you could tell really loved dogs/their jobs (so important!!) They were pooped when I took them home and I will definitely be back!!! Thanks a ton! read more

Stop searching and just take your dog here. It's worth the drive, and you'll be glad you chose Jumping Jack. You know how some places just give you a good feeling? This is one of them. I can't say enough things about Brett and the amazing staff here. We recently moved from New Orleans to Austin and finding a new place to take my buddy was one of the things I worried about the most. Some friends recommended I check out Jumping Jack, and after reading about Brett's story of why she decided to start her business, I gave it a shot. My dog's name is also Jack, so whether serendipity or fate, this is the perfect place for him. I love the hours, physical space, daily updates, and caring staff. Jack loves it here, and so do we. Go see them! read more

My dogs love this place, and I do as well. I get piece of mind knowing my dogs are safe and having fun. I have used their services for boarding, doggie daycare, and grooming. They are my go to place for my dogs. Report cards are the best, I love seeing my dogs happy and having fun. read more

Jumping Jack Dog Ranch is an amazing place to find services for your dog. My dogs have had training, play days, grooming, field trips and I can hardly get them out the door when it's time to go home. The check in and check out are easy and quick or if you want to stand around and yak, there is that available, too. The owner lives on the premises and is available for any concerns you have which you won't. The staff is totally committed to caring for your dog. Not just taking care of but genuinely caring about your dog. They have swimming pools in the summer, dog playscapes, large play areas and dogs are grouped so there are no conflicts or problems. Someone is always with the dogs and not standing to the side, but actively engaging and watching them. Training is available if you need special needs or general training addressed and never are the dogs stressed by this. They can even go on a field trip around the ranch through deer and rabbit territory to keep them sharp and on their toes. My favorite part is they send a report card every day and they include at least one picture. If your dogs are really cute or doing cute things, they may send more than one. They fill up fast, though, so if you want to have a chance of getting your dog in, you'll have to reserve a time and place far in advance. I do because I wouldn't take my dog anywhere else! read more

This place is amazing. My goal with boarding Jasper is knowing he is safe, having fun, and being loved on and this place definitely hits all those! I love how well the staff treats him and I love the little daily report cards we get!! They are actually really great pictures and it really helps to see how much fun he is having! I have tried out many of the boarding places around Austin and though there are several good ones, this one remains the best. read more

I can't believe I'm the first one to Yelp this place. Took my little guy on the TONS of recommendations from Nextdoor. Upon entering this place, you would think you walked into a spa. The decor is so nice and everything matches. The smell of lavender. NO dog smell AT ALL! The lobby has items you can purchase from them, t-shirts, essential oils, etc. Awesome photo portraits of dogs taken by their photographer. Got a tour of this place and it was AMAZING! They have this steel room where they pump music for dogs who are afraid of fireworks and such. They have several fenced off play areas and a fountain pond where dogs can play. The group play is always supervised. If your dog doesn't like other dogs, they also have only your dog and a human interaction only. The play time is based on your dog. It's when they get tired. Not like other kennels where you have to pay for additional play time. This is both group and individual play. I walked by the laundry room. They don't have cheapie washers and dryers. OMG, nicer than mine - metallic black, higher end appliances. The towels all match-love the lime green. They provide beds and blankets. The blankets aren't funky looking cheap things. All of them are serapes blankets. Bed are nice quality. I was told that they use non-toxic cleaner instead of harsh chemicals to clean up the kennels. They have a central vacuum system which can clean up/wash "messes" in the kennel in a few minutes. They are on top of any mess. When I walked in the kennel it DIDN'T smell of doggo at ALL. Was told that they pump lavender and lemon in the air system. Lavender to keep the dogs calm and lemon to the disinfect. The hours are GREAT. You can pick up your fur baby as late as 9:00pm and drop off as early as 6:30am. They have: Daycare, Day School, Boarding, Grooming, Photography, Training, Birthday PAWties. I left my little guy and they sent photos and a report card. My boy, his A$$ was worn out! You can book online too. The vibe of the employees are so awesome. They seemed like they truly love it there! The owner lives on the property and have cameras in the kennel so if anything goes on she can head on over. This place is THE most modern kennel I've been too. Take a look at their website. You can tour the place with their interactive software. If you think all these GREAT things about this place comes with a hefty price... THEY DON'T! I can't BELIEVE how nice this place is and it's cheaper than other kennels. Yes it is a drive for me, 30 minutes one way, but with extended hours, it's makes it convenient. I can't say enough PAWsitive things (ok, bad joke) about this place, but check it out. You won't be disappointed. You do have to take your dog there for an evaluation to see if they are ok with group play or need just human interactions. Make sure you get this done sooner than later because your dog will love you for taking them there and you'll want to take them there again and again! 10 PLUS STARS for Jumping Jack! read more

I cannot say enough positive things about Jumping Jack. Every time we take our sweet boy he is excited to go, which is saying something because he tends to get anxious of everything. We have taken him for daycare, boarding, and grooming and he's just always so happy. It is such a relief to know we have a place where our sweet fluffy baby will be so well cared for when we are away. Thank you Jumping Jack! Photo is after our guy's grooming today. :) read more

This place is the BEST! It's the only place we'll board our 15-year old dog at this stage of his life. They have a geriatric track specifically designed to meet the needs of older dogs, giving them plenty of mellow nap time together in a "living room," so that they are not isolated in crates, and also some hang time outside in the yard a few times a day to sniff around and do their thing. And the facility is state-of-the-art! They have thought of everything. In addition to all of the above, the owner and staff went above and beyond to care for our dog one time when he had a medical issue while we were out of town. We are beyond grateful for the compassion and love they showed our guy while he was there. We highly recommend Jumping Jack Dog Ranch! read more

After a lot of research I found this place! I could not believe how pretty and clean this places looked on the pictures so I decided to visit. Booked a play day for my dog...so easy to fill out form online and get all the info I needed. It's beautiful scenery and everything is soooo clean and new. The staff greeted me with a smile on their face when I dropped of my dog. When I picked her up the staff reported that my dog did great and that she had a good time. I could tell how knowledgeable they are...everything they explained showed how much they care for the dogs and the human clients :) Can't wait to keep taking my dog here and have her make many friends and play!!! Thanks read more

Brett and the entire staff at Jumping Jack are simply amazing! If I could give them more than five stars, I would. My dog leaps out of the car every time we get there because she's so excited to be back. My precious fur baby Piper is working through some behavioral issues so I am very picky who she interacts with, but I can always rest easy knowing she is in good hands when I leave her. They also send me picture updates so I can see how much fun she is having. You can tell everyone that works th truly loves animals, and their certified trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and talented. Piper and I both love Jumping Jack, and we bet you will too! read more

This is the only Doggie Daycare I trust my fur baby to be at. All staff members are amazing and kind. They keep me updated w daily report cards and will reach out directly if something is wrong and needs further attention. My furbaby loves going there, and once she's home from daycare all she wants to do is sleep bc she had so much fun! I don't know what I'd do without them! Highly recommend their services! read more

Jumping Jack & Brett are ABSOLUTELY amazing! I am extremely hard to please, as my fur babies are my everything, and they beyond exceeded my expectations. Their board & train programs that only utilize force free methods was a life saver for me. Each of my fur babies weigh what I weigh, and I was at my wits end with even trying to walk them together and not get pulled down. After speaking with her about their methods and beliefs I knew she and her staff genuinely love animals. The care they have put into their facility from top to bottom exceeded expectations I didn't even know I had. I 100% reccomend Jumping Jack. read more

We feel exactly the same as Lindsey G. We would like to keep this jewel to ourselves but are compelled to leave a raving review! We have a large dog, 115+ pound Italian Mastiff. He's a bull in a china shop only because he is a puppy and an extra large dog. He is a gentle giant yet the staff at the ranch welcomed him with open arms. Customer service is top notch & quality of care is more than we could've imagined. I felt their warmth from the initial phone call. Upon our pups first visit, we were impressed. Our pup had so much fun; we could see from the picture on his report card and he has truly been excited each time he's returned. Lifetime customer here! read more
