Exceptional service. I have used them for the past two years and they have taken care of my companion with the utmost love and care. They are easily accessible and always available. Absolute first class service. I trust them deeply with the care of my companion. Highly recommend. read more

I absolutely love The Ruff House! Randy, Bruce, and the rest of the crew are awesome and truly care about all the pups. More importantly, my dog loves, and I mean LOVES the Ruff House. I've never seen him more excited than when it's time to go to daycare, it's the highlight of his week! Further, my dog is a greyhound from the racetrack and he didn't understand how to play with other dogs when I adopted him. His time at the Ruff House helped socialize him and taught him how to play and enjoy his retirement. read more

The Ruff-House - Clean Yeti - Pet Boarding Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is such a great doggie day care! I bring my dog here at least once a week when I am working overnight shifts at the hospital. They take good care of my pup. And he looooves coming here. The staff are very good people, and I have many interactions with Randy and Bruce. I've been impressed with the cleanliness of the establishment and I never have seen the place be dirty when I pick or drop off my dog. They have separate indoor and outdoor areas. They also have pools outside if it gets unbearingly hot for the dogs. I usually buy their 5-10 day daycare package and supplement this with overnight stays if I need to. You save a few bucks with the packages which I like. A few times, my dog has come back with scratches on him from other dogs, which I would have liked to have known about at the moment, but my dog is also aggressive in playtime so I can understand. Anyway, for the price, I think it's a great place and I'll continue to come as long as the continue to take good care of my pup! read more

See all

Started great - turned ugly Daisy's staff Emily was extremely helpful before I was an official client. My dog seemed well taken care of when I came to pick him up after 10 days at Daisy's while I was overseas. He was on antibiotics which should have been completed a couple days prior to my return. When I picked him up and asked how it went with the meds Emily said she'd been giving him 1/2 pill a day. The dosage was 1 & 1/2 pill a day. I was happy she was honest about their failure to administer the medication correctly. When it turned out the condition did not go away I had to go back to the vet for another round of antibiotics and different more expensive ones since the original prescription was not administered correctly and my dog was now likely resistant to those antibiotics. I contacted Daisy's to see if they would consider paying for the new medication and follow-up vet visit. Initially the owner Mindy Jernigan Black was aghast and apologetic and relieved I was still willing to bring my pup there. I even said I was willing to take credit for the amount since I anticipated using their services. Then I lost my job and needed the money I'd spent at the vet. I contacted Mindy via the same personal email she had responded to me with initially. From beg-Oct - end of Nov I tried 3 times to reach Mindy via email and never got a reply. I called Daisy's and on two occasions asked if the owner could please call me back. She never returned my calls. I finally saw her Facebook page was connected to the Daisy's Doghouse page and contacted her via messenger. She replied right away saying nobody had asked her to call me and how could she help me. She refused to reimburse me for vet and antibiotic bills and said it was not their fault and that he staff had done nothing wrong. I have to be honest that she did reimburse me for my remaining package of a few days I had left. Despite that, I felt bad and blamed even though her employee had admitted to mis administering the meds. Luckily it wasn't a serious condition and with the 2nd round of antibiotics it cleared up however it took from Aug 27-end of November due to having to wait 1 month in between treatments (per the vets recommendation) Mindy was unkind and blamed me. Emily the staff who had initially been honest then lied when I saw her next in person saying she never administered the meds incorrectly. Her husband was there the first time when she admitted it. I was shocked and confused that she would blatantly lie to my face after having admitted it the day I picked him up. I would be careful if using Daisy's for overnights. Make sure they enter the correct information into the computer. I had supplied the original prescription bottle as well as a 4x6 notecard with detailed instructions. Jay who also works there was excellent, kind, professional and responsive. Try to work with him. He has a great, positive and helpful approach. There are good things about Daisy's and I was a fan but this stressful situation when I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt while also losing my job was unnecessary and caused me a lot of grief loss of faith in people's ability to be decent, human and honest. This business is in a traditionally gay and diverse neighborhood. Of course I know people in this neighborhood are also TRUMP supporters and many are not. The owner of Daisy's Doghouse is a TRUMP supporter which is displayed on her Facebook page. I thought people should know who and what they are supporting when using Daisy's services. Knowing what I know now and the experience I had I would look for another business to support and care for your furry babies. read more

Me and my pup Kali love ruff house! Kali is an apprehensive pup so naturally the first week, she was hesitant but now she jumps out of the car and runs inside before I can even grab the leash! Every staff member is great with Kali and she loves her time spent at Ruff House. Could not recommend this doggy day care enough- they provide fantastic care at an affordable price read more

Actual Angels on Earth! When I heard that I had to drive to and from Houston, which was two hours away from me, for 30 days, I instantly thought of my Frenchie - Chanel - who had just turned one and is *high* maintenance. She is not used to being left alone a lot and since I was going to be gone 12 hours a day I was in a panic trying to figure out what to do with her. I had taken my other little one to this place years ago back when it was it was Daisy's and had a great experience. They got her in for an assessment and it became part of our normal daily routine. I have been so hesitant to let anyone watch her since I've heard horror stories of Frenchies getting hurt at Doggy Daycare. Well, these people turned out to be real life angels! Chanel ran in and jumped in their arms every morning, and I had to pull her away to go home in the evenings. These people really and truly care. It gave me so much peace of mind to know that she was being taken care of (and probably better than I do). We are back in our old routine and Chanel isn't quite sure what to do without their 24/7 attention and snuggles, but we will ever be so grateful this place and these people exist! read more

TL;DR: I wouldn't take my dog anywhere else. I am so grateful to have found the Ruff-House. Not only is the staff wonderful, but the facility is great, clean, and offers both indoor and outside play. My dog loves going to daycare, and I love the results (a happy & pooped pup). The staff are extremely responsive; they send me cute pics/videos; and they even catered to my dog's adjustment to a new daycare--trying all sorts different methods to make her comfortable. Thanks to their patience, my pup can't get enough. The Ruff-House is the place to go if you have a high energy puppy that just wants to play all day while you're off bringing home the beggin' strips. About my dog, for reference: 1.5 y/o female German shorthair pointer. Super friendly, but also shy with new people/places. High energy. Goes to daycare at least 3x/wk. Pro Tip: buy in bulk & get a discount! read more

The staff at Ruff-House treats my dog like family and she enjoys hanging out there with her friends. My dog has separation anxiety, and daycare has helped out so much. When she hops in the car for the morning ride, she knows exactly where she is going and can't control her excitement. Once we get to daycare, she darts through the door and doesn't look back. Although that's sad for me to see (HA!), I'm so thankful and happy that I found a place that she loves so much! She also never wants to leave when I pick her up. read more

We love Ruff House! But more importantly, our dog loves Ruff House. We use them mainly for boarding and appreciate that they are crate free since our dog is never created at home. She actually runs up the steps with her tail tagging to go in. Other places we'd need to carry her in. It is so clear that everyone working there loves dogs and treats them like family. At night, dogs can even sleep in bed with one of the owners "just like at home." We used to dread having to board our dog so we could enjoy a vacation. Not any more. She considers it her vacation when she gets to go to Ruff House! read more

I suppose I should be glad that my dog leaves me without a look back. I love Daisy's! I've taken my pup here several times, and she always comes home happy and tired. Everyone is extremely friendly. I've spoken with Emily several times over the phone and as soon as I mention my name, she remembers my dog. When I drop my dog off, they always know I'm coming and confirm that my dog's food (portions are noted in the computer) has not changed. Though the daily rate is more expensive than other boarding places, I've found it's worth every penny and that I ultimately save money. I found at other places, I had to pay for walk time, cuddle time, etc which always made the daily fee more expensive than initially posted. At Daisy's, the dogs are never kenneled, always able to play with other dogs that have been vetted to be friendly. In order to board here, you must have up to date vaccination records and your pup needs to do a day of boarding, like a doggy interview. read more

Have been taking my dogs here almost 2 years. They love it. When I drop them off in the morning, they run in with tails wagging. It makes me happy because I know they are well cared for while they're there. Also, the Owners are great and on-site everyday. read more

My dog loves this place! I take him twice a week and he is always really excited on the mornings he knows he's going. I have to admit I enjoy those days as well since he always comes back totally worn out from a full day of playing! Bruce and the staff have done a great job updating the daycare to make the space even better for dogs of all sizes. 5 stars! read more

The Ruff-House - Pet Boarding Near Me - Houston, Texas

After trying about 4 other doggie daycare's in the area we are so excited to have found daisy's!!!! Tucker absolutely loves the place and the staff! It's super clean and you can tell just how much they love what they provide there! Tucker had so much fun he didn't want to leave! I'm sooooo glad to have found Daisy's!!! read more

The Ruff-House - And they have excellent bakery goods! That's how we stumbled upon this gem!!! - Pet Boarding Near Me - Houston, Texas

Daisy's Doghouse is such a cute place. My jack russell terrier Gracie loves coming to play for daycare, and I love that they are cage-free. Something worth mentioning is the fact that they have the most affordable rates I've seen for the area. They also have a huge backyard, bigger than any I've seen at other daycares in town. Another plus is that they sell gourmet dog treats, which Gracie doesn't exactly need given her current width, but how do I say no to this face? Daisy's is the best, and I'm recommending them to everyone. read more

The Ruff-House - Pet Boarding Near Me - Houston, Texas

We love Daisy's! I am such an over protective dog mom and my dog has anxiety, but not here. She just runs in every day for day care! They post pictures of her playing and I can't get enough of it when I have to be away from my best bud! She had a UTI a few weeks ago and they were updating me on how much and how many times she would "go potty." Once I am told my dog woke up in the middle of the night to play and the day care provider got up to play with her. We have been to a few dog day cares and we love that here they can tell me who she played with, her favorite games, doing business, and how much she ate every time I pick her up. It doesn't get better than that! read more

I highly recommend Daisy's for doggie daycare or overnight boarding. My little Jodi gets very homesick and I was worried that she would have a hard time adjusting being away from home. The expert staff at Daisy's were very welcoming and treated Jodi like family. They kept me updated about Jodi to help ease my mind. Thank you for everything, Jodi and I had an excellent experience! read more

Discriminates against select dog breeds, when asked about availability, got a short response of "we don't do pit bulls" my dogs are just as, if not more well behaved than any other dog I have ever met. They are sweethearts who just want to play and cuddle but because they are a certain breed, they will not even be considered to stay here. Absolutely disgusting- any place that specializes in animals should know that behavior has NOTHING to do with the breed, and EVERYTHING to do with the owner and the upbringing. Do not go here. read more

Our dog absolutely loves the ruff house! Bruce and Randy are the nicest people ever - so easygoing and friendly. They made our transition into using day care so smooth and manageable. They do a great job of socializing the dogs and balancing play with rest! I can't say enough good things about this place! read more

Words cannot express the love I have for Daisy's Doghouse. My mini dachshund, Sadie Mae, has never liked going to daycare or boarding. As soon as we pull up to Daisy's my love bug wiggles her entire body in excitement. Not only does Daisy's offer cage-free daycare, but boarding is cage-free as well. At the end of the day Sadie Mae is tuckered out from all the playtime. There is a huge backyard with a playset, tubes and toys for the dogs to enjoy. The staff is exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. The prices are the most reasonable I have seen. read more

We love this place so much!! My dog loves it here, when we arrive he runs right up to the front door and greets the staff with kisses. The staff is wonderful, they give Maxwell so much love. I know he is in good hands. read more

I HIGHLY recommend Daisy's! After researching over 20 dog boarding/ doggie daycare places in Houston I decided to try Daisy's because of their affordable rates. The two ladies I met there were so nice and treated my dog like he was their own. My dog can be a handful and they did so great with him! We will definitely be going back! read more

I did a lot of homework before choosing Daisy's for my precious pup. I'm one of those "dog moms" who cried the first time I left her in someone else's hands -- but they have always been very sweet and supportive to dogs and humans alike. My dog Wendy absolutely loves it there -- her tail wags like crazy and she runs for the front door when we pull up outside. There is zero chance I would ever take her anywhere else. read more

My husband and I have been waiting very patiently for Daisy's Doghouse to open! We have known Mindy for almost 4 years now and she treats us as though we are family. Her love for people and animals shines through the moment you walk in. There is no other place that makes us feel more comfortable than under Mindy's supervision at Daisy's Doghouse. The feeling you get when walking into this facility is very "home like." When I took Duncan there for the first time earlier this week, he felt extremely comfortable and immediately jumped up on the warm fuzzy beds, ran around in the backyard, got lots of belly rubs, and received quite a few yummy natural treats from there bakery! I know that Duncan will always be safe, loved, and cared for during every visit to Daisy's Doghouse and we are so happy that we finally found a place that we can call Duncan's home away from home. read more

End of march/beginning of April was the first time Bruce and Ivy were left Boarding. I was very hesitant and worried to leave them for the first time two weeks in a row. Bruce had gone thru surgery from his broken leg and needed special care. My Brucey was treated like family and was able to heal well, all the staff took the time to provide medications and extra time to him, they also made sure to email me plenty of pictures!!! I am very pleased with the service provided by Daisy's Doghouse my pets will definitely come to daycare and Boarding when needed. Even though they stayed there for so long they looked happy like they were spending time with family! I highly recommend this business. read more

My dog, Tonka, LOVES to go to Daisy's! The staff here is so kind, caring and responsible. I treat my big fur kiddo like he is my child, and I have ZERO hesitation about sending him to spend time at Daisy's. He always comes home completely happy but totally worn out from a day full of fun and activity. I love how engaging and interactive their are with the pets. I would highly recommend Mindy and her staff to anyone wanting loving, responsible and interactive care for their dog. Simply the best! read more

We LOVE Daisy's! I am (admittedly) a helicopter dog mom, and I was so nervous about putting my dog in boarding for the first time while we were out of town on a week-long family vacation. (She has some anxiety and can be a handful when she's stressed out.) After looking into quite a few places around town, we stopped by Daisy's to check it out and were so impressed! Their staff is so friendly, the facility is extremely clean, and they really do care about all the dogs in their care. We did a few days of day care and a "practice" sleepover before our trip, and they were always open and honest about how my dog did while she was there. When we were away on our trip, they posted lots of photos and updates on Facebook -- it was great to see what they were up to throughout the week! I would absolutely use Daisy's again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great place to take their dog! read more

I've been bringing my dog to Daisy's now for a few weeks and he absolutely loves it. They are so friendly and really make me feel comfortable leaving my dog all day while I am at work. They are also very flexible when I call last minute in the mornings to bring my dog by. Daisy's is also a dog bakery and they have the cutest doggy cookies, cakes and treats. I looked around at a few different day care places in the area and Daisy's has the best rates (especially if you buy a package) and is a clean and very well run dog day care. Highly recommend! read more

My baby loves this place! He hops right out of my arms whenever they open the door. Little rascal won't even say bye! I'm so glad I found a place that keeps him happy and safe while I'm at work. I can tell he's really loved and cared for there. He's always tuckered out after playing all day too which allows me to have a calm evening once and while. Daisy's staff is also very flexible and let's my dog stay overnight on short notice if I have to stay late for work, which is really helpful. Def recommend this place! read more

This was our first time leaving Onions at Daisys Doghouse and we were very nervous because it was for twelve nights. Not only because Daisys was new to us, but also we had never been away from him for that long. But I couldn't give them a higher rating! While I was on vacation far away I could log onto their Facebook page and see pics and videos of him playing and having a great time. I can't tell you how that eased our minds! Besides that, their overnight guy Jay was so super nice and emailed us personally as well. Our boy did come home a few lbs lighter, but I know he can be a finicky eater and besides he was burning up the calories with all that playing! Thanks for taking such great care of him! read more

my dog goes between two daycares but he is clearly happier here . such a friendly atmosphere and clean as can be . it's clear Jay and Holly and emily really care for the dogs read more

Love these guys. Friendly, accommodating, patient and great with our 2 labs, Lady and Lucy (and they are a handful, trust me). Pups are always tired and happy when they come home. read more

When I travel I travel with my two four legged babies. I work long hours! I don't think it's fair to my babies to be caged up for 14 hours! So every assignment I take, I find a doggy daycare! Daisy's Doghouse in Houston, TX is one of the best ones I have found yet! They worked with my crazy hours. The owner comes from a medical family and understands our crazy hours. The staff treated my pups as one of their own. So if your in or around the Texas medical center on assignment and need a good doggie daycare this one is 5 stars! They also offer boarding, they have a big back yard with a plastic pool and play ground for the pups!! read more

We have 2 fur babies and hated the thought of leaving our "kids" in a kennel at the vet, but luckily we found Daisys! Our girls stayed there while we were on our honeymoon for 6 days. The staff is fantastic. The girls just loved Holly and Mindy! They also have a little dog treat bakery inside with cute little treats. We didn't have any issues and the staff kept us updated on how the girls were doing while we were gone. Next time we are out of town, we will leave our girls at Daisy's. read more
