New to Midtown? Your Dog’s First Day is FREE
New guests enjoy a complimentary evaluation day — a full day of daycare on us — before their first overnight stay. It’s the best way to get acquainted.
A Tarrytown Dog’s Home Base While You Travel
Whether it’s a long weekend on the coast or a work trip out of Austin-Bergstrom, Tarrytown families need a place they can count on while they’re gone. Midtown Groom & Board keeps its doors open to overnight guests every single day of the year, giving your dog a true second home just across MoPac.
Boarding here doesn’t mean a day spent waiting in a small run. Our open-play setup keeps guests moving and mingling from morning to evening, much like a typical daycare visit. Traditional kennels tend to confine dogs for most of the day, but at Midtown, every boarding guest gets the complete daycare experience with no added fee.
Expect a pleasantly tired pup at pickup, one who’d much rather curl up beside you for a quiet night at home than bounce off the walls.
What Makes Our Dog Boarding near Tarrytown, TX Different for Your Dog
Plenty of pet boarding facilities keep dogs indoors and inactive for most of the day. At Midtown, open space and all-day play are the standard, and here’s what that looks like for your pup.
- Every stay comes with daycare. Boarding guests join our supervised play schedule for several hours each day, socializing, romping, and staying active, and it never adds anything to your bill.
- Shaded yards leave room to roam. Even under Austin’s summer sun, our outdoor play yards offer cover and generous space for dogs to run, sniff around, and simply be dogs.
- Playmates are paired with care. We sort play groups by size, age, and temperament, so each dog spends the day with friends who match its energy and style.
- Nights are restful and comfortable. Overnight rooms are clean, cozy, climate-controlled, and sanitized every day.
- Experienced eyes stay on the group. Our dog-savvy staff supervises play from start to finish, guiding behavior with consistent positive reinforcement.
- Familiar faces know your dog. With a long-tenured team, everyone learns each guest’s name and cares for them as if they were family.
- Pricing stays straightforward. Rates are charged per night, and picking up in the morning or afternoon on your departure day costs nothing extra.

Dog Boarding FAQ
What vaccinations are required for dog boarding?
All boarding dogs must be current on Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella (Kennel Cough). All vaccination rounds must be completed prior to arrival. We recommend having you or your vet email records ahead of time, or bring a paper copy at check-in.
Does my dog need an evaluation before boarding?
Yes, all new boarding dogs complete a free evaluation day before their first overnight stay. The evaluation is a full day of daycare at no charge, giving our team a chance to introduce your dog to the environment and ensure a great fit.
Is daycare included with boarding?
Absolutely. Every boarding dog enjoys the full daycare schedule at no extra charge — several hours of socialization and playtime each day. Boarding rates also include afternoon pick-up on your departure day with no additional fees.
When can I drop my dog off for boarding?
Dogs can be dropped-off/picked up anytime within office hours. Morning drop-off is encouraged for our boarding guests.
Can I bring my dog's own food?

Do you board dogs year-round?
Yes — Midtown offers overnight boarding 365 days a year, including holidays.
My dog doesn't always do well with other dogs. Is boarding at Midtown right for them?
Our open-play environment is designed for social dogs that enjoy running around and playing with friends. Dogs must not exhibit aggressive behavior toward other dogs or people. If you’re unsure whether Midtown is the right fit, the free evaluation day offers a great trial run.
Why Tarrytown Dog Owners Choose Midtown for Boarding
Tarrytown dogs are used to a good life: leashed strolls under the big oaks along Exposition Boulevard, afternoons around Reed Park, laps past Lions Municipal Golf Course, and weekend trips to Red Bud Isle, the off-leash park on Lake Austin just over the Tom Miller Dam. When it’s time to travel, many neighborhood pet parents want boarding that keeps that same active, social rhythm going instead of swapping it for a long day alone in a run.
That’s a big reason so many Tarrytown families bring their dogs to Midtown. We’re close enough to fit an easy drop-off into a pre-flight morning, our shaded yards and climate-controlled rooms keep guests comfortable through Austin’s hottest months, and our long-tenured team gets to know West Austin dogs the way neighbors do: by name, by personality, and by favorite playmate.
