Our rescue is not fond of large groups so he gets individual play and he loves it. He is a very happy dog when we pick him up! He tells us it's a great place to stay!! More...

I and my dog received a warm welcome, the team was very helpful in answering all my question and Lennard is tired out when I pick him up after a day of daycare. Being spoiled from the daycare and boarding place my dogs went before we moved to Houston I wish daily photo and video post on social media would become the standard. Beside this I recommend Yuppie Dog as a great daycare place. More...

We've been using Yuppie Dog since Jan 2019 for their daycare and boarding. Sadie is always exhausted when she comes home. Mary was very accommodating to us and extended the expiration date on our daycare passes when Sadie had to recover from surgery (tumor removal) so we wouldn't lose them . The rest of the staff has always been very friendly and welcoming and I feel comfortable leaving Sadie with them. I do wish they had a live stream video camera online but I probably wouldn't get much work done if I was just watching my dog all day. More...

So far I've had a great experience with Yuppie Dog. It's my first experience boarding him here and they've been so professional and friendly thus far. Kudos to Mary for being so patient with me. I'm a new daddy who gets horrible separation anxiety so I'm hoping they take good care of him when I'm gone. I'll update my review once I get back from my trip. More...

Me & my pup love Yuppie Dog! Best staff, best management, best training & my dog loves to go swimming in the warmer temps. I have tried other doggy daycare's in the Houston Heights even those highly recommended by vets & pet supply stores. And in trying some of the other daycares, I found myself taking my pup to the vet for a variety of ailments just a few days after a visit. One can tell the level of cleanliness a facility maintains by your pups overall health. When you spend more $$ at the vet than at the daycare this should tell you something. Duh I am glad to have found Yuppie Dog. They vet their new visitors well & their facility must be clean because my Veterinarian bill is now under control. Amazing what a little care will do! Thank you Yuppie Dog! We wov u! Woof! More...

I love Yuppie Dog and my puppy child does too! My dog would always be sad to leave whenever I dropped him off at the boarding place we used before. But ever since we switched to Yuppie Dog he barely turns back to say bye to me because it’s like his home away from home. They took great care of him during Hurricane Harvey and I am forever grateful for that as I was out of state and none of my friends could pick him up due to the flooding. I love the pictures they send to let you know how your pup is doing. More...

I have been taking my 2 dogs here for boarding for the last two years. Yuppie Dog takes really good care of the dogs and lets them be boarded together at night so they can be comfortable and don't get lonely. I was always anxious about boarding because one of the dogs has pretty severe separation anxiety, but the yuppie dog staff takes really good care of them and will send photo updates throughout the stay to ease my nerves.This will definitely continue to be my go to spot for boarding!

I am so so relieved to have a daycare and boarding place that my Aussie puppy, Theodore, LOVES. We started off with a few half days of daycare to ease him in, and boarded him for his first time recently. I was happy to see that when we took him back to daycare, after being boarded, he was still bolting to go inside! He even sometimes cries when we pick him up after daycare. I really like the smaller community feel, the staff already knows him and greets him when he comes in! I had actually taken him to HBP down the street first and I don't think it was a good fit for him since he had some separation anxiety. I wish Yuppie Dog had cameras, but then again I would be much less productive watching all day. Overall - Very satisfied dog mom! More...

Yuppie Dog is fantastic for my crazy Labrador. We utilize both day care and boarding for her. She loves the pool, the groomer and is always excited to go. Never any hesitation from her when walking in ( we stopped going to a different kennel when she balked at going into the kennels door.) We were out of the USA on a trip prior to Harvey, but they made arrangements for our emergency contact to pick her up, and even managed to get her bathed prior to pickup. I understand that the owner took the dogs who remained to her home and kept them safe until they could be reunited with their owners post hurricane. More...

I have a rescue dog that has some issues and I board my pup here sometimes for short trips. She is not able to do the doggie daycare as there are just too many dogs. The staff is always sweet with her, and I can buy an upgrade so she gets one on one play time with the staff. I have also had my dog groomed here, and they have done a good job. I just wish there was a way to get her more exercise when she stays here. The staff is always prompt in getting back to me, and I have often been able to get her in here last minute (not holidays).

We adopted a 3 month old Catahoula last month. As mentioned by another reviewer, it's harder to find places that will take younger puppies (less than 4 months) without all rounds of puppy shots, so we decided to try Yuppie Dog with the intention of moving him to the daycare I originally wanted to enroll him in when he was old enough. Mylo has been going the past two weeks and comes home a tired and happy pup. He practically leaps out of the car when we pull in and runs right to the front door. The staff emailed me pictures and an update his first couple of days and it was awesome to see him in action enjoying himself with his new puppy friends (and helped reduce my anxiety about leaving him).Staff is incredibly friendly and you can definitely tell they care about the dogs here. My dog is a testament to that. We've found our home now and will not be moving after all. Thanks, Yuppie Dog! More...

I randomly adopted a dog last year with my girlfriend.  She's the first dog I have ever owned and it was a major struggle initially.  I was way in over my head.  She had so much energy and some socialization issues.  Yuppie Dog did a really great job taking care of her during day care and she learned to trust a lot of people that work here.   Somewhere in the middle of last year, they also started occasionally sending pictures of Ginger to me during day care which always brightened my day.  I boarded GInger during Xmas 2016 without any issues.  I typically use Rover but every person I met on Rover ends up boarding way more dogs than what their calendar says for that specific day.  Even though I'm paying more, I know that Ginger will at least get some walks and have some attention paid to her.  I highly recommend Yuppie Dog and the people that work there.

This place is awesome!My boyfriend and i dropped our pups off for boarding for the weekend and were extremely excited to use Yuppie Dog. We've used boarding services before, specifically locations that are close to major airports and claim to be paradise....ahem. The last time I boarded my bigger dog, he came home in a funk and acted funny for a few days. The place we used seemed overworked and as if they didn't pay individual attention to the dogs.All of the five star reviews pointed me in the direction of Yuppie Dog for the weekend. We have a 50 pound ridgeback/retriever mix and a 25 pound deaf Eskie. Since our Eskie has special needs, we wanted to make sure she was in good hands. We filled out the paperwork on the website and also gave more information and double checked everything once we arrived to drop them off.From start to finish, Yuppie Dog was professional and worth the five stars. They knew our Eskie would be skittish and standoffish at first, but let her take her time to sniff around to get accommodated. When I went to pick them up they were excited and seemed like they had a wonderful time. They were so tired from all of the fun that they passed out as soon as we got home.We will definitely be using Yuppie Dog in the future! :) More...

I have been taking my Lab here for the last 3 years, 1-3 times a week.  The staff is very friendly and caring.  He is always excited to get to daycare and happy (and ready for a nap) when I pick him up.  I have noticed some great changes over the last few months with the new owner.  He is often on-site when I'm dropping off or picking up and knows the dogs by name.  I will also occasionally get photos of my pup relaxing at daycare during the day which I love.  Another great thing is that they don't require reservations for daycare like a lot of places do, so if my schedule changes at the last minute, I can bring him in, and it's no problem.  Thanks Yuppie Dog!

When you drop your dogs and they can't wait to go in?  That's a good sign!!  Yuppie Dog has been my "go to" for boarding for years.  They allow my dogs to stay together over night which is key.  They cannot be separated.  They come home happy, no stress and tho' ready to see me, I know they've been well cared for.  The staff knows them well even tho' we don't board that often.  They always remember us which makes me feel special.  I know that translates to how they care for my two.  Thanks Yuppie Dog!!

Our yellow lab Cotton adores this place, and we do too! He goes a couple times a week for daycare and has also had grooming and boarding services there in the past. He gets so excited if we say the word "daycare" that he will run and wait by the door and won't calm down until we arrive. The second we get there he is in heaven. He plays in the pool, runs around with his buds, and pretty much never stops. They occasionally send us photos of him playing which are so fun to receive at work. The folks at Yuppie are super friendly and really fast; they have him ready to go as soon as we arrive for pick-up. The reason we chose Yuppie Dog in the first place was their excellent daycare hours. Drop off begins at 6:30 am and pick up goes until 7 pm. This makes it so easy to work into our schedule and my husband and I both have time to workout before coming to pick him up. They also make it reasonably priced with their 5 pack and 10 pack offerings. A coworker recommended Yuppie Dog to me, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone else in the area looking for a fun place for your dog to stay, for daycare, pampering, or boarding! More...

This was my second time taking our mini schnauzer for grooming to Yuppie Dog.  The facilities are great and the staff seem pretty nice. At $57 to make our mini go from scraggly to presentable, it's not a bad deal considering she always comes out happy as opposed to scared when we had taken her to Petsmart MANY moons ago. My only gripe is that I we dropped her off at 9am on a Saturday (opening time) and they didn't get her back to us until 4:15 or so (they close at 4pm). The front desk lady told us to come by around 3:45 so it was kind of lame waiting there for 30 minutes. However, I do understand cutting dog hair is much less predictable than cutting human hair since these guys don't like to sit still and probably don't like getting groomed. I'd give Yuppie Dog a 5 star rating otherwise for their grooming services. More...
