In-home pet boarding and sitting businesses

If you run an in-home pet boarding or sitting business in Austin, you know that the room where animals spend their days needs its own climate. A garage or spare room turned into a pet suite has to stay cool and comfortable whether you're home or not, and that's where a ductless mini split gives you control independent of the rest of the house.

For this room

In-home pet boarding and sitting businesses

Boarded animals are in that space for long stretches, and a window unit or central air can't always keep up when the room is sealed off or the main system cycles off. A mini split runs on its own thermostat, so the temperature stays steady even if the rest of the house is set differently. That matters when clients trust you to keep their pets safe in a room they can't check on themselves.

A stable, comfortable environment is part of what people pay for when they leave their animals with you. With a flat rate of $2,400 for materials and labor, you know exactly what the job costs before we start. We require a $400 materials deposit to hold your install day, and the rest is due when the work is finished.

One day each week is our Joker Day, priced lower than the standard rate. That day moves week to week, and the exact price is posted on our homepage. Our licensed crew will come out, confirm the sizing for your specific room, and install a system that keeps that space right where it needs to be.

Common questions

What people ask us about this

How do I know what size mini split my pet room needs?

We use a rule of thumb based on the room's square footage and ceiling height, but we confirm the actual BTU needs during a free on-site visit. We never promise a specific number before seeing the space.

Can the mini split run even when I'm not at the house?

Yes, each mini split has its own thermostat and operates independently of your main HVAC. You can set it and leave it, and it will keep the room at that temperature all day.

What if I need the install done on a specific day for my business schedule?

We work with you to pick a day that works. A $400 materials deposit holds that day, and the remaining balance is due when the job is finished. The Joker Day moves week to week, so check the homepage for that week's lower price.

Does the flat rate cover everything, or are there hidden fees?

The $2,400 flat rate includes all materials and labor for a standard installation. No surprise charges. The only extra is the $400 deposit to reserve your day.

How long does the installation take, and will it disrupt my pet boarding?

Most installations take one day. We'll work around your schedule to minimize disruption, and we clean up completely before we leave. Your pet room will be ready to use the same day.
