Yale Street Dog House & Bakery Houston, Texas

Been busy with work and a newborn, so just got around to writing this. Took my dog for grooming back in December, and when we got home he started scratching by his neck. Shortly after, his skin got very irritated, and due to the scratching, the problem moved to his back paw too. Took him to the vet, where they confirmed it was a bacteria. Called Yale Street Doghouse to let them know, and wanting them to take some responsibility. They just blamed something/anything else, and ignored me. I guess something like this can happen anywhere, but you just want the place to accept it and take responsibility. Obviously that is not this place, so now I am taking my dogs to Kriser’s.

I bring my 105lb dog in for grooming pretty much every month. The staff here is incredibly friendly and great with my massive pup!

Loved this cute place and! everyone i meet was so nice, helpful and!!!listening. My 8 years old came out fresh and nicely trimmed, thank you

Great service and always a great job grooming our goldendoodle.

Yalestreet is the dog daycare and groomer you wish every neighborhood had. It is managed by the loveliest staff who want to help where they can. Leaving your pet for the day or weekend is stressful emotionally and logistically. Yalestreet is responsive and reliable to alleviate that stress. The dogs love the environment there as well. Levee comes home happy and smells great too (which is a huge plus if you've been other places!). Yalestreet treats your pets with playful affection and kindness. They also treat its human customers with respect and understanding.

I have been bringing my babies to YSDH for ~3 years now and have only wonderful things to say. They absolutely LOVE coming for daycare and cry to get out of the car and run in as soon as we pull into the parking lot. I also get them groomed here and they always do a great job and check in to make sure they have the correct grooming info. I recently boarded them here for the first time ever for 12 days and I was a wreck as I had never boarded them before or left them for this long and YSDH texted me updates and pictures and were so responsive whenever I checked in to see how they were doing. I feel so much more comfortable with boarding now knowing they were well cared for, they were having fun, and that I can check in on them whenever. Also, YSDH always has themed parties where they take adorable portraits of all the dogs and there are so many activities to keep them busy; my boys are always exhausted when they get home and try to leave with me every morning to go back! I also get the dogs bday cakes and themed cookie treats here and they are AMAZING; Kathleen is so talented with baking and decorating these treats!

The new place to groom the pooches! The staff there is SO friendly, profefessional and just nice. The fur babies always look FABULOUS! ❤

Bought my pug his first birthday cake here, I was really impressed and he loved it. Thank you!

I love this place for my puppy who is 6 months. The groom was so nicely done and they asked a lot of questions to make sure I knew what she would get. I have taken my puppy a few times for daycare so she can socialize with other dogs and she loves it. Today she is staying overnight, I wish there was a way I could see her through cameras lol but I know that can be expensive for the owner and I trust my fur baby is in good hands! Thanks so much!!!

My original negative review was removed by me because the owner of this business rectified the problem and issued a refund. The owner took full responsibility and handled the issue that I had better than I could have ever asked for and even made me feel like I could return in the future.

Kathleen and crew are nothing short of amazing. They always take excellent care of their dogs. Our dogs refuse to eat anything but her food. They love every single member of the staff there—who are all very attentive and extremely kind. Our two rescue dogs really came out of their shell when they started visiting YSDH. They are always well-cared for and we get to see them on Instagram when we are away. The prices are more than reasonable. We wouldn’t trust anyone else with our kiddos.

Super friendlyand I can't believe I forgot the woman's name but she was awesome and she had pretty red hair and she was awesome with my dog and I will be going back for sure very good prices

It smelled just a little but other than that they were nice and Nemo seemed to enjoy himself. They were thorough and made sure his maintence cut was really nice and what I liked. I highly suggest them. Oh they were fast too! I'll be back.

Tucker always is excited to go and the staff are friendly.

Amazing place. Very accommodating with everything going on right now. Our dog Came home feeling fresh after visiting and enjoyed his easter bunny cookie!! Thank y’all so much.

We absolutely LOVE Yale Street Dog House. Kona always comes home happy and tired from daycare. She loves the pack there. Everyone who works at YSDH is great with pups and takes very good care of the dogs. I also love that YSDH partners with Summer House, to give opportunities to the less-abled!

Kathleen is a dog whisperer. She is extremely knowledgeable about behaviors, diets, medical issues, breed insights, you name it. She takes pride in giving the absolute best care to every dog that comes through the door, and puts the dogs first with everything she does. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a solid, professional groomer as well as doggie daycare. This place is literally a one stop shop.

I read so many good reviews about this place and had high hopes in trying it out but I really didn't like it. My first impression of walking in was this place reeks of urine. My old groomer kept the place so clean and this didn't give me that clean impression at all. The receptionists attitude was also very offputting as you hope to gain a little more confidence dropping off your pet at a new place for the first time. I had discussed my dogs grooming on the phone with someone prior to this appointment and how they do breed-specific for him and I was under the impression that they could handle it perfectly. When I picked him up I really didn't like the result. His tail looked like it hadn't been brushed and dirty, his body didn't look trimmed, and it certainly wasn't the style discussed on the phone prior to this appointment. Sadly, I won't be taking my fur baby back here :-( does anyone have any good recommendations in the Heights?

Great place for small dogs. Wonderful folks!

We liked the idea of a place that catered to small dogs. We have taken our Bichon/Poodle and my daughter's Maltese/Poodle here several times now. We brought a picture of our dog so that the groomer could see how to groom our little guy and liked the results. Our daughter's dog, however, smelled dirty, had many mats in her tail and her hair was stringy. She did not at all look or smell like she had been groomed. We weren't happy about this but had previously had good experiences so decided to take them again and mention this. When my daughter explained the problem last time, the groomer was rude and insisted she had groomed her dog, then said that she would bathe her twice. My husband asked if she could take a little more hair from around our guy's face since he had some irritation from hair getting in his eyes. The groomer was equally rude to him. We should have taken the dogs home with us tight then and found another place to take the dogs for grooming because when we picked up the dogs, our Bichon/Poodle was hacked. His coat was cut short; not at all like he had been cut in the past. His hair was uneven, with chunks of hair taken from the top of one ear and pieces of the hair on his head. It is scary to think that she deliberately did this to our little fellow.The following day we called the owner who said she had been having problems with groomers and then said she was busy and would call me back. I sent her a picture of what the groomer did to our dog fully expecting her to at least give us a refund. Nearly two weeks have passed and have not heard anything. not even an apology. They may do a good job with day care, but I would not under any circumstances recommend this place for grooming.

My dog loves going there

We bring our pup here for daycare. Kathleen and her team are amazing. They go the extra mile to make sure Yale Street is place for the dogs to have fun.

We've been taking our boys here for ages now. Kathleen and the team are great!

The best decision you can make for your small dog regarding their daycare, boarding and grooming needs. Hands down. I never post reviews, in fact this is my first one, but Kathleen is the best and your pup will be in good hands. I assure you. Daisy always has the BEST time and comes home and passes TFO ;)

This place is great for any size dog! We did lights in the city and they showed out! Will be going back

Greatest people for your fur friends.

We love Yale Street Dog House!???? We got our puppy right about when they opened and started going to their Wacky Wednesdays because it was cheaper than our dog walker. The owner Kathleen became our go to person for doggie questions and she continues to be amazing. We even switched to having her husband walk out dog. Karl and our dog are now best buddies. Our dog loves going so much she jumps out of our arms as soon as we open the door and immediately heads to the back to play with her friends. She comes home exhausted and happy which makes me happy!!!! Thank you YSDH

Best place in The Heights to take your dogs on day care. They have a specialized attention to your dog. Services are great and parties with dogs and parents are awesome. My dog is always happy here. Extremely recommended.

My Alfie lives to go here and play with other small dogs. Owner Kathleen is also loved by Alfie and he is always happy to see her. It’s nice they only let dogs under 35 pounds so they can play well together. We plan to keep going to this gem as long as we live in the area! They even have dog parties!
