The Face of Dog Boarding
Julie Jones and Kelly Edmondson
After years of managing kennels in west and central Austin, Julie Jones heard about the sale of Austin’s longest running kennel property, Canine Hilton, from a friend who lived nearby. She sold her dream property in south Austin and gambled the proceeds, and everything else, on the purchase. SkyBlue Kennels, named after one of Jones’ first dogs, opened its doors on November 1, 2016. Jones brought along her long-time friend and employee, Kelly Edmondson, to manage the place and offer training and grooming services in addition to boarding, making it a one-stop-shop for their furry friends who visit.
SkyBlue sits on six acres of wooded east Austin land and offers ALL dogs the chance to run around multiple times a day in one of its eight play-yards. All kennels are climate-controlled and have large indoor/outdoor runs. SkyBlue has a highly trained and devoted staff, and Jones lives on the property. SkyBlue Kennels has 3 top priorities: safety, sunshine, and dogs just getting to be dogs.
