The staff members are friendly and welcoming, and our dog is always happy to be dropped off. He loves everyone there! Communication is great by text. They respond quickly. The best measure of how much our dog likes Texas Dog House is his wagging tail and smiling face when we drop him off and when we pick him up!

I moved up here and found this absolute gem of a boarding place for Duke. You can always tell the difference between a dog who’s been stressed for days and one who’s basically been at summer camp—and Duke comes home EXHAUSTED in the best way. They even give him a bath before I pick him up! The staff remembers Duke every time, is always so complimentary of him, and genuinely seems happy to see him. One of my favorite things is that they have options depending on your dog’s personality. Duke is definitely not a “play with friends” kind of guy, and they’re able to give him plenty of attention, activity, and enrichment without forcing him into group play. For more social dogs, they have options to play with friends too! I definitely recommend this place. Knowing Duke is happy, well cared for, and getting to enjoy boarding in a way that actually works for him makes leaving him so much easier. Also, if you follow them on Facebook they post pictures every day of your fur babies in action. Who can deny how happy he is?

Our family has used this Dogtopia location for over 7 years. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell, they absolutely love your fur baby and will regularly go out of their way to mske their stay the best possible. The facility is top notch, clean, bright, and inviting. They are constantly having fun activities and photo op days. It's the best. And if you're missing your furry tornado during the day - just log in to the many cameras in the play rooms and watch your canine commando in action.

Finding Dogtopia has meant the world to us! From the greeting that our sweet Frankie gets when they get her out of the car in the morning to the goodbyes they give her when we pick her up, this place shows us over and over again how much they love their doggies and their people! Our puppy went from a crazy, nippy and yippy pup, to a very well behaved bigger puppy! Each employee we have come in contact with has been amazing and they are all truly a blessing to our family!

I was so nervous leaving my two dogs because one of my dogs has a terminal cancer and she needs extra care. I was also worried because I had a bad experience with a different boarding facility in the area just a month ago where my dog was not taken care of the way she should have been. The lady upfront was very understanding and sweet and put my mind at ease. She showed me around the facility and it was very clean. While I was out of town she didn't mind me calling to check in on my pups while I was gone, which was so nice. When I picked up my fur babies they were clean and looked happy and well-fed. Their blankets were clean and they received their medicine while I was gone with no problems. I feel blessed to have found such an amazing facility in our area that cares for our animals the way they should be cared for! Mia and Bella will happily be back! Thank you again! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

As Daisy Belle’s official Dog Dad, I have pretty high standards… and let’s be honest, so does she. 😂 When we picked her up from Posh Paws, she looked at us like, “Oh… you’re back already?” That pretty much told us everything we needed to know! It’s obvious the team genuinely loves what they do. Daisy Belle got tons of attention, playtime, and love, and we got something just as valuable—peace of mind while we were away. That’s hard to put a price on. If your dog deserves a vacation while you’re on vacation, Posh Paws is the place. Just don’t be surprised if your pup comes home exhausted, happy, and secretly hoping you’ll book another trip. Thanks for treating our girl like one of your own—we’ll definitely be back!

Posh Paws!!! We cannot thank you enough for taking such amazing care of our sweet Daisy Belle! I absolutely love how well thought out Posh Paws is setup to ensure our puppy has the best time while we were on vacation. Thank you for loving our puppy like she was your own! For anyone looking for doggie daycare - look no further! Your pup will be loved and looked after like they're at home

I’ve trusted this facility with my dogs for a long time, and a big reason for that is Matt for the last year. He genuinely cares about my dogs and treats them like they’re his own. As a dog owner, it’s incredibly reassuring to know that someone knows my dogs, understands their personalities, and truly truly truly enjoys being around them. My dogs whiskey and Cosmo are always excited to see him, and it’s obvious by just seeing the way they react when they see him that he has built a real bond with them. Matt consistently goes above and beyond, and his kindness, patience, and love for animals shine through every time we visit. Finding someone you trust with your pets is priceless, and Matt is one of those people. Thank you for taking such great care of my dogs. They are like my children, and it means a lot to know they’re in good hands when Matt is there.

I’m the Treasurer of an animal rescue group in Montgomery County, Texas, and we have sent 8-10 foster dogs to Dogtopia for daycare and boarding. The experience has been great; the owner, John, and all the staff have helped the dogs become more adoptable. The dogs learn how to interact with other dogs, which can be difficult for stray dogs to learn. The dogs go back to their foster homes happily exhausted after a day of playing. The facilities are great; they have room for multiple play groups so the small dogs are separated from large dogs, quieter dogs are not with the hyperactive ones. All the dogs get a 2 hour rest in the middle of the day. Dogtopia offers a free “meet-n-greet” day to determine if your dog is ready for daycare.

We were very happy with the grooming service. Our dog was clean, smelled great, and the haircut turned out exactly as requested. Friendly service and excellent results!

My dogs had a great stay! They got lots of outside play time and the staff were very friendly, helpful and obviously love animals! I was relieved seeing pictures of their happy faces each day!

Our precious girl LOVES the staff, facilities, and fellow dogs here, and so do we! We, like most people, are obsessed with our dog and wouldn't board her just anywhere; Abby recently stayed here for 10 nights, and while we were nervous to leave her, she had the absolute time of her life. The staff clearly love what they do and are so understanding and communicative in giving us updates when we ask. We love the way they run the property, and literally every dog we see come through looks sad to have to leave. We're so glad we found this place and definitely plan to keep bringing Abby here regularly for daycare and boarding. Thank you guys so much for treating our girl with so much love! P.S. The daily photo posts were so much fun and made being apart much easier. Please keep that going!!

Curb side assistance that they meet you at the Front door. An Employee comes out and gets your Pet without you even have to get out of your Vehicle. Nice friendly Staff that knows your Pet by name. And the best part, you can view in on your Pet with your Phone set up connection while at the Kennel all Day to check on it with other Pets. Outstanding !

We have boarded our Great Pyrenees here not once but twice!! Great place!! Very friendly clean professional and they love Mate!! I recommend them for any breed big or small!! 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

I only wish I had found them sooner. Anytime I have boarded one of my animals, I usually have a really good feeling or a really bad feeling in the first couple minutes. I was comfortable leaving Oliver with Posh Paws after being there for about 15 seconds. Amanda was great to work with when I had last minute changes and she was very accommodating. Amy was great with Oliver and I could tell how much he liked her when I picked him up. Everything is clean and orderly. This is my new go-to spot.

**UPDATE** I want to clarify that I was not frustrated at any point during my visit. I came in happy, smiling, and respectful the entire time. It’s disappointing to see my experience characterized otherwise, especially when that characterization is used to justify how I was treated rather than acknowledge what actually happened. I was there with my 12-year-old son, and I’m very mindful of how I conduct myself in front of him. He even commented that it felt like we weren’t wanted there. That alone says a lot about how the interaction came across. Your response unfortunately reinforces the experience I described in my original review. Instead of accountability or a simple acknowledgment that the interaction may have been handled poorly, the response shifts blame and makes assumptions about my behavior that are inaccurate. ***************************************** This place came highly recommended by a friend, so I decided to give it a try. When I first called, I spoke with a woman who was incredibly kind and helpful. She invited me to stop by for a tour, which I appreciated. After a long day at work, I stopped by shortly before closing, mistakenly thinking they closed at 7:00 rather than 6:30. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the owner, Mark, and unfortunately, the interaction immediately felt uncomfortable. There was no welcoming greeting, just a cold, dismissive tone. When I explained that I had spoken to someone earlier but couldn’t recall her name, he responded that it “could have been anyone” because they have “so many people,” which came across as unhelpful and dismissive. I then mentioned I was referred and interested in a tour. He told me they were about to close and that tours are scheduled during specific hours, which I completely understand, but there was no effort to offer an alternative, such as scheduling another time. A simple, courteous response like “Thanks for stopping by, we’d be happy to schedule you for a tour tomorrow” would have made a big difference. Instead, the interaction felt unwelcoming. He finally mentioned a couple of staff members I might have spoken to earlier, which made his initial response feel even more dismissive. Overall, his demeanor was dry, rude, and gave the impression that my business was not valued. As someone looking for a place to trust with my babies, feeling welcomed and respected is essential, and this experience did not provide that. By the end of the interaction, I felt so uncomfortable that I chose to leave. I also can’t ignore how different my experience felt compared to my friend’s, is it because I'm Hispanic? Regardless, customer service should be consistent and respectful to everyone. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, because first impressions matter, especially in a business built on trust and care.

We boarded our dogs here for the first time for two weeks. We were very pleased with the care of our boys. Our dogs were happy when we picked them up and the staff genuinely cared about our pets like they were their own. Thank you for taking such great care of our boys and treating them like family.

Our regular groomer was booked up so we came here last minute. I did not like the cut on my doodle at all. It was uneven in several places and it was not a teddy bear face even though I showed pictures as an example. You need to speak Spanish to communicate and he seemed frustrated and inpatient that I only spoke English. It was also $20 more in the end than I was originally quoted. Hoping it is a better experience for others but I won’t be returning.

I feel very comfortable leaving my fur baby with Texas Doghouse when we are out of town. She plays and has a great time, they take care of her feeding and medication needs and do a great job with her departure grooming. She seems to like going there and never balks. I feel as though they truly care about our babies and strive to make their lives as stressless as possible. Everyone is always very friendly when I dop off and pick up.

Our three dogs stayed over Thanksgiving day, it costed us $800, numerous charges, they all wore sweaters, but the staff of Shadow Forest took the sweaters off during their stay, when they got home suffering severe diarrhea with no appetite! I will never use this place again.

This grooming salon is exceptional and Fernando, the stylist, is so professional. I took my dog for a bath and I couldn’t be more grateful for the results.I used to take my dog to Petco and always had to finish drying my dog off at home because he was left wet. I have a husky and his fur is not easy to work with, but Fernando went above and beyond, my dog got home smelling so good and with a shiny fur. I highly recommend this place as I will definitely keep bringing him for his regular bath.

Our pups love coming to The Ranch for both doggy daycare and overnight stays when we are out of town. They can stay together or separate - seperate is better for our pups. But in adjacent kennels. There is often a theme for the day and pictures are posted every day. Happiest pups ever and nice and tired when they come home - sometimes. Aussies are like the energizer bunny, they keep going and going.

I cannot say enough about how great Posh Paws is and Amanda. We recently moved so I needed a closer location for boarding and happened to call. I was attracted to the fact that her sign had a Frenchie (which I have). The care and the fun that they have is top notch. This isn’t your average kennel. She spends so much time with them all and tailors to each of their needs and wants. Videos and pics all the time. Anyone that would rate Posh Paws anything less than perfect is crazy!

We went on vacation for the first time since losing our big pup to pancreatitis and almost losing our little one to the same. I was extremely nervous about leaving her somewhere, but the owner was knowledgeable and assured me she would stick to the strict prescription diet and treats my fur baby is allowed to have. When we arrived, we were brought to the kennel she would be staying in so we could bring her to her temporary home and say goodbye. I really liked that because the last 2 places I boarded my dogs, I would drop them at the front but never actually saw where they stayed. The place was very clean and provides raised beds (even though we brought her plush one from the house) and was an overall great experience in dropping her off. We were sent pictures the first few days of our little girl having a great time. I knew if I asked, I would get more but I felt confident she was being well taken care of so I didn’t worry or ask. I will be using posh paws from now on. Hands down, the best facility I have taken my dog to.

We have used The Ranch several times over the past year and they always deliver. The staff are amazing and the care for our pup is always amazing. Regular updates on socials with pics of the pups is always great to see when you’re away. I would highly recommend The Ranch and I’m sure our pup would agree!

Very disappointed, I have been bringing my pets here for 10 years and the last two times they have come back to me with injuries that the resort was either not aware of or had no explanation for! I don't know what is going on here anymore but there is NO concern for the pets or ownership being taken. You are paying for the care and well-being of your animals and that is NOT what is being offered. Sincerely, I would elsewhere for a business that cares for your pets.

Dogtopia is AMAZING!! Our boy, Berrin, absolutely loved daycare here. Whenever we picked him up from the day of playing, he'd whine in the car as we pulled away. The staff here is beyond incredible!! The love and care they showed our boy is exactly the same love we showed him. Unfortunately, our baby had a very rare heart disease and needed many accommodations. The staff at Dogtopia was more than willing to accommodate his needs and went above and beyond what we were asking!! Sadly due to his heart condition, he couldn't get neutered to be able to go back to daycare, but the staff regularly reached out to see how we were doing. We greatly appreciate the love and care given to our boy by the owners and staff and will FOREVER bring our future dogs here for daycare!

Have been taking my pets here for a number of years and very satisfied with the care they have received. Facilities are clean and staff super friendly. I currently have Jack Russell pup who has so...much energy and loves coming here for boarding and day camp. Yesterday when I picked him up the staff gave him a couple of stuffed Christmas toys to take home (pic). Thank you FS for taking such good care of Ozzie.

To say we LOVE Texas Doghouse is an understatement! Our rescue boxer, Jenna, loves to go to day camp and comes home exhausted + fulfilled. As an "only child", her experience at camp has been so valuable and she loves being part of a group. Jenna has also been an overnight camper and had a wonderful time. We love that Texas Doghouse posts pictures of our fur babies throughout the day so we can see who they are up to and who they play with. We definitely recommend Texas Doghouse for your fur baby!

We absolutely recommend Forest Shadows Pet Resort to any pet parent; they’ve taken amazing care of our energetic German Shepherd over the last 3 years. Our first experience speaks volumes: We moved from out of state, and were in a short term rental that didn’t allow dogs. Along the way, our GSD Knight developed a problem attitude around being kenneled, which resulted in him getting asked to leave a couple of boarding places, which was super distressing. Forest Shadows was recommended by a friend who warned me they had a couple low online reviews at the time, but she personally attested to how great they were with her 2 nippy dogs. Since I trusted her and we needed help, we reached out, discussed his behaviors, and enrolled him in the Board & Train 2 week program which worked perfectly with our timeline. It was a GOD-SEND. Long story short: Knight came back to us super happy and way better trained. The staff communicated specific adjustments to help his kennel issues, monitored situations when our dog didn’t respond well, adjusted accordingly, and more importantly expressed they “weren’t going to give up on him and were willing to keep trying.” I literally cried when they told me that. What really exemplifies Forest Shadow’s amazing staff is our experience moving out of the US during the global pandemic. After we sold our home, we boarded Knight, we flew to the UK, and relied on Forest Shadows to coordinate with our Pet Relocation team so he could join us overseas. The relocation process got delayed a few times, and he ended up boarding with Forest Shadows for just over 2 months. During this trying time, they were patient, flexible, willing to assist, and sympathetic to our changing circumstances. I was so grateful we didn’t have to stress about our dog! All the staff delivered great customer service: front desk Ms. Terri helped me understand the best combination of services, both Ms. Rachaels facilitated our visits, Mr. Terry was great at doggy day care, and Trainer Terry even did a refresh training. In particular, Ms. Laurie and Mr. Michael were our angels, as they worked with me and the pet travel company, kept me posted regarding food, medicine, and treat needs, and helped me problem solve issues like getting him transported for health checks, and even finding a USDA approved Vet. We are truly grateful that Forest Shadows never gave up on our vocal uber-energetic GSD, and they were absolutely instrumental in helping us move our furkid overseas so he could be home with us. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND them and can attest to their level of commitment.

I wish I could give them more stars! I have take my pups to be groomed by Tiffany on multiple occasions. They really do care for your animals as if they were their own. The customer service is great, the prices are the best around, and they are skilled groomers too! If you want your furbabies to be beautifully groomed with lots of TLC, this is the place!

This place is the Greatest! If you are looking for a place to board or just take your pet for the day, don't miss these people. Our dogs present and past have all gone here. The staff at Forest Shadows goes above and beyond for your pets every time. The facilities are kept immaculate, and our pets always come home like they have been cared for at home. Trust Forest Shadows with your pets, you wont be disappointed! Sometimes I wonder if she (Belle - Pictured at FS below) wants to come home!

I got my 200 lb English Mastiff groomed here as a treat for his 3rd birthday. It took both Tiffany and Windy to bath him but he loved it. They were so good with Duke that I'm taking my lil diva Pomeranian to them next week! I would definitely recommend them. They're so nice and great pricing too!

I found a flier promoting Tiffany's Doggy Day Spa one day and thought, "Why not?". I was tired of taking my dogs to Petsmart to get groomed because it was SO expensive and difficult to get an appointment. So, I called, was surprised at their good pricing, and made an appointment. I took my puppy there and it was her first time ever being groomed. They did a WONDERFUL job with her! She smelled great, looked great, and her unmanageable fur was managed! Her ears were properly cleaned, her nails were trimmed perfectly, and she was wearing the cutest little bandanna at no extra charge. And, they were FAST! I took my other two dogs with the puppy the next time. It was the same great experience. They took all three of my dogs and had them clean, dry, and smelling good very quickly. I just made another appointment today and can't wait to see how great my babies are going to look! I'm so glad I found that flier!
