Pet Relocation LLC is expanding to a 9,500-square-foot office building it purchased downtown.
The company, which provides door-to-door pet transportation services, is moving from Spicewood to 612 Brazos St., company officials said.
The building, which was the original Austin American-Statesman office, was also the IFC Crossroads House during South By Southwest. Pet Relocation is scheduled to move into the building in July.
The company, founded in 2004, employs 21 workers.
Pet Relocation officials said the business has grown 600 percent since 2005 and plans to double its workforce during the next two years.
