The Rise of Dog-Friendly Coworking Spaces
Work & Woof is Austin's pioneering dog-friendly coworking space, redefining the flexible workspace experience for remote workers, freelancers, and pet owners through their signature approach: 'cowoofing'. This shared workspace blends professional-grade office amenities with on-site dog companionship and daycare, making it one of the most unique coworking communities in Austin.
Summer Cowoofing: What to Expect at This Flexible Workspace
Work & Woof offers seasonal accommodations for members cowoofing during the summer months (June–September). Dogs are brought indoors around 10 AM, which increases ambient noise levels throughout the shared workspace. To support focused work, private offices are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and are the recommended default during warmer months. Members may also choose to work in the main coworking area.
Flexible Coworking Membership Options at Work & Woof
Work & Woof offers three distinct cowoofing experiences to fit the diverse needs of its coworking community in Austin:
1. Keep Your Dog With You While You Work
- Dog beds are provided in every office
- A dedicated dog amenity cabinet is stocked with treats, water bowls, toys, and pet essentials
- Dogs must remain on a leash when entering, exiting, or moving between offices
This option is ideal for remote workers and freelancers who want their dog by their side during the workday at this hot desk–friendly shared workspace.
2. Work Without a Dog
- Google Fiber high-speed internet
- Refreshment bar with snacks, drinks, coffee, and tea
- Conference table and whiteboards for collaboration
- Gender-neutral restrooms
- Varied seating options throughout the coworking space
This flexible workspace option welcomes professionals who enjoy the dog-friendly coworking atmosphere without bringing a pet — making it a great fit for the broader coworking community in Austin.
3. Drop Your Dog Off to Play While You Work
- Dogs receive a minimum of 5 hours of supervised play
- Members can work the full duration or come and go as needed throughout the day
- After the 5-hour session, members can reunite with their dog in a private office, extend daycare (if pre-approved), or leave together
This coworking membership option is especially valuable for startups and remote workers seeking a month-to-month membership that also solves daily pet care needs.
