Airport parking and pet boarding, together at last
Thursday, September 17, 2015 by Nora Ankrum
Construction will soon begin on a new facility at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport that will allow travelers to both board pets and park their cars for the duration of a trip. The time-saving “park and pet hotel” will be the first of its kind in the U.S., according to a press release from Scott Airport Parking. Scott will be teaming up with Taurus Academy, a local pet boarding and training facility, on the venture. Scott’s Park & Zoom will provide covered parking, while Taurus’ Bark & Zoom will feature a menu of pet services including training and grooming. Both will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and patrons who use both will receive discounts. The facility is slated to open in summer 2016.
