Neighbors Dog Park & Cafe

The dog area itself is nice, I just wish kids under 15 could go inside....and if not, add tables under the covered patio which seems like wasted space right now.

Best dog park ever, my dog loves going there. Great place, well managed and maintained. If you want to work in the meantime your doggie play, you can do it. They have WiFi access and plenty place to sit. Also, they have delicious coffee for sale.

Neighbors is by far the best dog Park in town!
I’ve been coming here for years and at this point have made friends so it’s a social gathering for not only your dogs but for you as well.

Truly, the best community of people go to Neighbors and I would not consider going anywhere else!

Can’t say enough great things about Neighbors. 5/5 for the experience, community, management, employees, space - all around. Very grateful Neighbors exists ! My dog and I became immediately regulars after our first visit.

Wonderful place to exercise your dog and socialize with good humans and good dogs

Shaded, clean, very nice!

This business is a prime example of an oxymoron. A business meant to harness compassion, operates unethically behind closed doors.

I was a member for over one year. I paid $40 a month and was happy with the environment. I must admit on a surface level, this is the best dog park in Austin. Amenities include a completely astroturfed playground, large flatscreen TVs, and fans for each of the guests. Caution, the glamour hides ugly business practices.

Come to find out, the women employees get paid less than the male employees. The owner consistently disrespects his employees by yelling at them. I’ve seen employees cry because of the way he treats them.

My experience:
Many dog parents throw birthday celebrations for their pet. We’re all responsible and we clean up after ourselves. They’re peaceful celebrations.

I had the decency to ask for permission to throw my dog a birthday party. They told me they were going to charge me a $500 fee even though I wasn’t asking for anything beyond permission. I purchased gifts to give out for all attendees. my generosity was met with malice.

Mid-celebration the owner texted me a long, unfriendly message telling me to FaceTime them. My membership was then suspended, but I guess they decided to revoke it without communication. They continued to charge me for the membership, even though I no longer had access.

They chose to lose my business of over one year, which amounts to almost $500, over a dog‘s birthday party, generous of all guests.

Choose wisely where you spend your dollars. A membership here supports unethical practices.

Great place to bring your dog so we can play with other dogs. You can also grab a cuppa coffee while you’re there. All the dogs are fixed and full grown so there are almost no bad incidents. Just dogs playing and having fun. We call it our dog Zen time.

Happened to find Neighbors on Google Maps and popped in here randomly while traveling through on a road trip.

My dog happily scouted the place while I talked to the friendly staff to get checked in. I ordered an iced matcha which was quite good, and also purchased some wine to drink later.

The park itself is spacious and well organized. There are features for the adventurous dogs, and places to rest for the calm ones. It was noon in July so I was happy to see plenty of shady spots, and even a few portable fans. The workers were happy and attentive, making sure each dog had a full water bowl within reach.

My dog is on the smaller side. He’s older and pretty chill. He often has trouble at dog parks because the big dogs will gang up and chase him. But here the dogs were calm and got along great.

There were tables to sit, and free WiFi. I brought my computer and caught up on some work while my dog socialized.

10/10 was a great experience. I wish I had something similar back home.

I’ve been coming to Neighbors Dog Park and Cafe for a while now with my pup and I’m also a monthly unlimited member. It’s been a consistently great experience. The staff does an excellent job keeping the space clean and welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about the dogs and the community.

This is a small business with a small but dedicated team running it everyday, so if you’re signing up, just remember to show a little grace, it goes a long way. The unlimited membership is very reasonably priced, especially in today’s economy, and offers real value you won’t easily find elsewhere.

The wranglers are attentive and kind, they do their best to keep the dogs company, help out if an owner is tied up, and step in if any scuffles break out. Of course, it’s still up to us as dog owners to be responsible and pay attention, but this is such a nice spot to work, read, or just hang out while your dog burns off energy.

The park is secure, and although I did have one close call where someone didn’t latch the first gate properly, there’s a second gate before the actual exit that prevented anything from happening.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a laid-back, well-run spot to bring your dog and relax!

Great couldnt go in cause i forgot records, but otherwise awsome place

I jokingly refer to this as my country club, office, and favorite place, but I’m also not joking. I am at this park almost every day sometimes twice a day. It’s clean, it’s beautiful, the community is unparalleled. The people who work there truly love dogs and so does everyone that attends. The coffee is incredible, but the community is what will always keep us coming back. my American bulldog lab mix has a ton of energy and is very social— but he can be a lot! He is treated like family when we come here and so am I . 10 billion stars

My partner and I wanted to love this place and incorporate it into our daily routine since we live in the neighborhood.

Our quality of experience seems to depend on the staff outside that monitor the dogs and keep the play friendly during peak times when there are 8+ dogs present. Some staff are wonderful and engaged while some are completely checked out or simply inside on their phones for long stretches of time.

For $50 membership fees, I'd expect more trained staff outside at peak times.

There is no weight minimum for the dogs, and there are no separate small dog/large dog enclosures. So if you have a very small dog, I would not recommend this place to keep your dog safe as the average dog there is 30/40+ lbs. I have observed this multiple times over with different very small dogs when a group of big dogs swarm a smaller one, creating a potentially unsafe situation.

Additionally, while the gates are heavy duty, they are almost always unlatched and sometimes partially open.

Fun dog park with a great staff

Nice open area!
