My dog was so happy !
Hi Kim, thanks for the 5 Star Review – we're happy you're happy! If there is ever anything we can do to help make your pup's experience better, please let us know.
Belt and I love everything Underdog! The staff is amazing and he loves playing with all the pups there. Belt is always so happy to go in and is so content and fulfilled when I pick him up. Thank you for loving my sweet happy boy!!
Tamara, thank you for bringing sweet Belthazar to play with us, and thanks for your kind words – we really appreciate it!

Justin, Thanks so much for your feedback. We feel the same way about Axel when she comes to Play or Stay with us. Thanks for trusting us with your sweet little brindle girl!
Take great care of my pup! We prefer to board him solo just to be safe and they are extremely accommodating!
Brooke,
Thanks for your kind words. All of our guests receive their own private rooms but not everyone is as lucky as Melvin to always stay in one of our VIP Suites. Of all the ones he's stayed in, I think the Super Hero Suite matches your handsome little boy's personality the best. Thanks for letting him stay with us 🙂
After trying several pet lodging in the DFW area I finally found a place that my dogs love and want to return to.
Nelson,
Thanks for your review. It can be difficult finding the right match for our furry family members. We try to provide a unique experience for every guest, based on their unique needs. I'm glad we were able to earn their approval!

We recently boarded our pup over the holidays for a total of 6 days for a very affordable price. What really deserves the 5 star rating is the staff and the facility. The day prior day to our pup’s staycation, we stopped in to get a tour of the place. The owner, Nickie, was so sweet and welcoming. The facility was very clean. They post updates on their FB page of all the pups throughout the day. I highly recommend Underdog for all your pup’s accommodations. Look at the face of our happy pup during play time!

Recently used Underdog to board my Great Pyrenees over Thanksgiving after a referral from and friend and had a great experience. I was a little nervous at first about leaving him for 9 days, it was the first time he’d ever been boarded, but was reassured after I followed them on Facebook and saw he was having a great time every day in the photos they post where he was obviously having way too much fun. We even got a report card after his stay that outlined how he behaved (I was a little worried about because he’d never been gone that long), how he interacted with the other dogs, and the one area he had to work on. They even bathed and brushed him before coming home. Overall a stress free and great experience for both of us. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a place to board their dog!

We tried Underdog for the first time over the holidays after our usual places were booked, and I think we found our new favorite spot! The staff took amazing care of our pups, and we really loved that they separated the dogs for playtime based on where they felt more comfortable vs. size. Our two big dogs – normally attached at the hip – were placed in separate play groups, which was definitely for the best as our lab, Gracie, has always preferred smaller dogs, and our rotti mix, Ranger, was finally able to let loose and have some fun now that he didn’t feel the need to keep an eye on his sister. Thanks for taking such good care of our babies – they can’t wait to come back again soon!

“Love Underdog Kennels!
After the recent addition of our puppy, I knew I had to do my research on boarding and daycare spots around town. My boy has lots of energy and needs a place where he can have fun all day long. Enter Underdog Kennels! I love the convenient location near Love Field which makes it so incredibly easy to drop off and pick up your dog when flying out as we do often.
As a mom of a new puppy, I’m thrilled that they upload photos of all of the pets who are there for the day on their Facebook page so you can check in on your pup. It’s reassuring and nice to see how much fun all the dogs are having. I’ve only used Underdog Kennels for boarding purposes but know that it will be just as good for daycare devices, too. The staff is super friendly, the facility is clean and they even offer complimentary drinks that you can grab on your way in or out. A+!”

I am so thankful we found Underdog Kennels. We are from Houston and our wedding was in New York on 9/1/17. Because of the hurricane, we needed to leave several days early out of Dallas, and wanted to make sure our dogs were safe while we were gone. We found Underdog via Yelp, and they had room for our two pugs and my sister’s pitbull for the 8 days we needed. They even helped us by calling our vet so by the time we got there, they already had the dogs’ information and health records all set. We got pictures and updates every day via text and Facebook, and even a special message from our dogs on our wedding day. They went above and beyond any expectation I had and made this one less thing to worry about during what was already an incredibly stressful week for us. I wish they were closer to where we lived because I would exclusively use them in the future. What an awesome facility this is!

Underdog took my reservation at the very last minute when I needed to go out of town. I was very skeptical of just leaving my BJ with anybody because he is a little timid with other dogs.

When i dropped her off, the staff was so friendly and walked me around to where she would be staying and playing. Did I say how friendly they are?? They sent me daily pictures and progress reports. I was a nervous mother and called and they called me back immediately to let me know that she was just fine. I would highly recommend Underdog Kennels to anyone and I am a very satisfied customer. Thank you for being so good to Coco. I can tell she had so much fun!

I discovered Underdog Kennels on Groupon. They offered a great deal – 5 days of daycare for $50. Whaaat?! They are located near my work, so Hubby and I booked the deal and tried them out. Bailey had the best day. They post so many photos on Facebook during the day, showing the fun that the pups are having. Bailey came home tired and happy. I love the friendliness of the staff. They make you feel comfortable leaving your dog for the day. When my five days are over, we will be using them again! Give them a try. You won’t regret it!

I seriously cannot say enough good things about this place. It’s truly the best! My dogs absolutely love it and they’re treated like family there. My Great Dane was sick and they took him to the vet, no hesitations. They care about all the dogs there and it’s a great feeling knowing my babes are being loved and taken care of while I’m gone!

What a blessing that I found Underdog Kennels. Rob & team are amazing! They really love dogs and treat each and every guest as if he/she was their own. This was the first time my 2 little ones were away from home. I’ve always had pet/house sitters. I was quite apprehensive to leave them behind for 5 days. Best decision I ever made. The staff are kind and affectionate. I received photos & regular updates without asking. The facility is very clean and my dogs were very well taken care of. No trauma and no drama. I could not have asked for anything more. So grateful to Rob and everyone on his team. We will be back!

“These guys are really the best! I had to board my dog for a few days recently, and was so impressed with his stay at Underdog. The staff genuinely love the dogs and treat them as their own. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, thoughtful, and competent. They sent me photos every day of his day care sessions, and I was able to see other photos on their Facebook page. I did not have to worry about him at all while I was on my trip.
The staff also called the veterinarian ahead of time and had all the vaccinations records in their system before I dropped my dog off. Their website is easy to navigate and I was able to reserve my dog’s stay ahead of time and with ease.
I’m now considering buying a doggy day care package for the days I don’t work from home, just because he had so much fun and I know he is going to be in good hands.
Definitely consider Underdog Kennels for your doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming needs!”

Rob and Nikki know exactly what it takes to run a Dog Home. They make you and your pets feel like family. I’ve known Nikki for years and she is an amazing person that has so much love to give your animals. My dogs go crazy when I say “Want to go to Day Care”. They run to the door and almost jump out of the car on our way to Underdog Kennels. The prices are amazing for the quality of care your pets will receive here. We buy the package because I know we are coming back on a regular basis. I give Underdog 5+ stars. My dogs have never boarded because I have friends and family that can keep them when we travel. I would not hesitate to leave them with Rob and Nikki in charge because I would know they would love and care for them like I do. Finley and Remy give 2 paws up!!

Underdog Kennels is top notch in what they do. The staff are so friendly and really take good care of you and especially your pet. The facility is clean and seems quite spacious. I love how they post photos of your pet on Facebook so you can see how their day is going. 🙂 My dog is always so happy when I take her home, you can tell she really had a great time. So happy with my decision to bring her here.

This place is amazing. We have been bringing our dog for day care a couple of times a week for the last 3 weeks and have been so impressed by the facility and the care and attention of the staff. Our dog loves going here. They post pictures of our dog having fun several times a day! We highly recommend this place to anyone.

MY girl LOVES to go to Underdog Kennels. I think that is the most telling thing, when I tell her we are going to camp, she gets excited. That has never happened with previous boarding facilities. The staff goes above and beyond to take care of my baby. They don’t just put her in a cage and leave her. They play with the her and have a terrific facility with grass, and even a pool!! And they post pictures of her on FB when she is there–we can see how much fun she has while we are away. It eases our mind to know she is doing well. They are caring and take excellent care of our baby.

Rob and his team at Underdog goes above and beyond to make sure your pet/fur babies visit is as comfortable and fun as possible. I recently left my Eskie with them for one week and was very nervous and anxious about the whole situation since I’ve never let anyone else but myself watch over my pet. But everyday they took pictures and posted videos on their Facebook page and even emailed me some to ease my anxiety and I can ensure you that every photo he looked happy in. I also called every other day just to check in and everyone there was informative and answered all my questions in a respective manner. They knew who my dog was and how he was interacting with all his playmates. Because of this experience I am more confident in leaving him in someone’s care because the time he spent at Underdog was nothing but superior and I could not thank them enough. I will be coming back for their daycare and when I leave town I’m glad to know that I can leave my fur son in the care of professionals and loving people.

“The old cliche “”First Impressions Are Everything”” certainly applies here. I was very impressed with everyone at Underdog Kennels from my first phone call. We needed to board our dog for the first time since we rescued him 9 years ago. He is a chihuahua/basenji mix and although we think he’s the greatest dog on the planet, I realize he has some socialization issues and a touch of separation anxiety. He usually travels with us but this time we were attending a wedding out of town and the host hotel did not accept pets.
After much research we picked Underdog Kennels. The young lady who answered the phone suggested I come in and tour the facility, so I did. The facility was very clean and the staff was incredibly friendly. I could tell they all loved animals and enjoyed caring for them.. After the tour they recommended I bring our dog (Beau) in for a “”trail run”” and leave him for a doggie day care day. I took him in the next day, he did great and seemed very happy when we picked him up. They were very accommodating and thorough explaining exactly what services would be provided if we boarded Beau with them. One of the most important issues for us was that unlike several other kennels, Underdog allows you to bring your pets favorite toy, blanket, bedding, food, etc. If you have a small dog then you know how important it is for some of them to have their own blanket and favorite toy at night,
So we booked a private room for him to stay 5 days and 4 nights. The owner, Rob met us on the day we checked him in. Beau was anxious and so were we. Rob did his best to put us at ease and assure us that Beau would be okay. Rob is very confident and gentle, just the kind of person you want to take care of your pet.
While we were away we could check Facebook on our phones and see the pictures they post daily of all the dogs playing. I emailed Rob once to check in and he was kind enough to send us some pictures of Beau in his room relaxing. When we got home we came straight from the airport to pick up Beau. He was actually sleeping in his bed when we arrived. When they brought him around to the front desk he was happy to see us but most of all I could tell he wasn’t anxious and he looked great!
I would recommend Underdog Kennels to anyone, especially someone with a small dog that needs a little extra attention and care. Thank you again Rob and your staff for taking such great care of our little Beau. He will be back soon!”

I can’t believe I waited this long to write a review! This is the only place we will take our dog (Henri)! Fantastic staff who really care about your pet! Our dog is old and we hated the idea of leaving him to be boarded while we were out of town, but Underdog reassured us that Henri was fine. They emailed us updates and pics. They made sure he got his medicine. When we came home, they called us and checked in on him. Fabulous staff. We got to know Melissa at the front desk, a terrific young lady. Henri got to play and be outside of his “suite” more than any other kennel we’ve ever used before. I’m used to kennels that are super loud, but the dogs here were so chilled out. I guess they get a log of exercise and are content. Very clean facility. Happy dogs. Great staff. Only place we will take Henri!!!

“We need to board fairly often and had some bad experiences with other nearby kennels so we were on the hunt when we found Underdog. Fortunately for us, Rob and his staff are as wonderful with our dog as they are with us.
After touring the clean, spacious facility (unlike some places), I dropped our dog off for a test day play and she couldn’t have been happier. When I picked her up, she was happy to see me, but wanted to head right back in! This has been the same exact experience at every single pick up. They are very attentive and are sensitive to each dog’s needs, like to our dog’s preference for playing with people. On one instance, they noticed and had a medical issue treated right away. It was amazing to know that she was in good and caring hands.
We’re thankful to have found Underdog Kennels because this place is the best!”

“First off, let me just say I was impressed with the phone call alone. I am a first time dog owner and have no clue about the boarding process…Nicki was very informative, helpful, and compassionate towards my questions and concerns.
At drop off day I was extremely comfortable with leaving my baby girl. The facility was extremely clean and the staff very friendly. Rob has a niche for this business and it shows. The staff sent pictures/videos everyday as I requested. They went above and beyond my expectations. So thankful to have found this place!!!”

Underdog is amazing. I was super apprehensive leaving my puppy anywhere as this was our first time apart, but they spoiled him as much if not more than we do at home. He was comfortable, loved and they even kept up with his daily meds. He’s tiny and they made sure his playtime was one on one! It’s a super clean facility and I loved all the pictures of my boy with his new friends. Thank you so much, we’ll definitely be back 🙂

“I came across Underdog Kennels through a promotion that we receive through our place of work – they were also less than a mile away from us, so I decided to try them out. I cannot say enough good things about this place! They frequently update their Facebook page daily so you are able to see how your dog is doing periodically throughout the day. Whenever I leave work to pick up my dog, he is passed out in the back of my car before even pulling out of the parking lot. It’s so nice to be able to come home and relax with my puppy, rather than having to take him for an hr+ walk.
Last week was also my dog’s first birthday. I wasn’t aware until the day of, but Underdog Kennels actually throws your dog a birthday party. They texted me pictures of my dog enjoying some puppy ice-cream and one-on-one attention. How cute is that?! I highly recommend this place to anyone working around the Medical district. It’s EXTREMELY cheap compared to other places in the area and rather than just leaving your dogs in a play area all day, they actually take the time to hang out with each dog to ensure that their needs are taken care of. Love this place!”

I love this place it is close to Love Field, the employees are kind and patient with the animals and their owners, and the rates really can not be beat for the area. My dog is always relaxed and happy when I pick him up. They understand that all dogs are not the same and develop a care treatment fitted for that dog.

I chose this kennel after receiving a postcard in the mail . I’d had a bad experience with another facility over Christmas and was looking for a better option. I tried it out for my two large dogs a couple of times for daycare before boarding over spring break. They seemed to like it, came back tired and content, which is what any large breed owner could hope for! The kennel also texted me pics of the dogs playing which my daughter enjoyed and I thought was a nice touch. To me, that shows that they care. And that gets to the point of my review. I used to own a facility like this. The biggest way to distinguish yourself from the competition isn’t just about having the fanciest facility, but take the time to get to know your customers, both 2 and 4 legged versions. That’s what I like about Underdog. They do care, from the owner down to his employees. They seem to genuinely care about the pups. They were very receptive to my feeding requirements, allowed me to bring in a bed and toy from home. We got text updates during their stay and also saw the dogs playing on Facebook posts. Underdog Kennels are relatively new, but I would highly recommend trying them out.

My dog has many new furry best friends!

Underdog has been a wonderful experience for both myself and my puppy. She goes to doggie day care 4 days a week and comes home happy but tired. Perfect for someone who has worked all day. She has met a lot of fur friends and the staff at Underdog truly are amazing. Rob, Nikki, and staff know myself and my pup on a first name basis. I could not be more thankful for them and how they care for my pup when I’m working. I highly recommend Underdog and plan to use their services for a very long time. Thank you for such excellent service and giving back to dogs in need!

This was my first experience using Underdog Kennels. The babies, Petey, Lola and Henry had to have a nail trim and teeth brushed. Location is super easy to find and the service was exceptional! Petey has an issue with having his feet touched but the groomer in hand was kind, gentle and able to accommodate Petey’s needs. As we waited we were able to talk to the owner and found out they do much more than just boarding and grooming. They work to take animals off the euthanasia list, house, feed and meet any medical needs they may have as part of their community service commitment. They house many dogs and have an adoption program in house. All of my dogs are rescues and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate what they are doing here at Underdog. Along with the great work they do they also have the second largest outdoor play area in Dallas. I can tell they really care about dogs and their people all the same. I will continue to be loyal. Thank you Underdog for the work you do!

Underdog has exquisite daycare and boarding programs that are perfect for any/all dogs, no matter what size or age.

Highly recommend! Makes working late/traveling much less stressful!

I am crazy picky about where I send my dog. From the vet, kennel and groomers- I do my research and very cautious and particular about the facility, cleanliness and staff. We came in for a tour one Saturday to see the facility and then scheduled our test with Rob so that they could approve our dog to board there. We have taken our dog, Chief here 2 times now for long weekends in the last month and our experience has been fantastic! They do not have their web cam system set up yet- but they send us pictures and videos! The staff is always friendly, caring and super observant. Chief is always SOOO happy when i pick him up each time and is always giving sweet kisses to the girls before leaving. This place is new- so not that crowded yet with dogs. I just hope once people find out about it- we will get the same service and attention. But in the meantime- I am so happy we found Underdog Kennels!

I took my 100 lb Great Pyrenees rescue dog to Underdog Kennels yesterday to play and he LOVED it! I loved everything about this place. It is SO clean, the staff is extremely friendly, and all of the dogs there are very happy. I used to take my dog to another daycare in the area and every time he came home, he would INHALE so much water that he would throw up. It was clear they were not keeping the dogs hydrated. NOT HERE! My dog came home and was in the most playful mood. He was prancing around the yard and then passed out for the rest of the afternoon because he had had such a fun day. Since his visit, I have already decided to have a doggy birthday party there and have booked all of the boarding needs for the remainder of the year. A+ rating! This is coming from an EXTREMELY overprotective dog mom and total helicopter parent!

Rob and the underdog kennels staff is incredibly helpful and passionate about what they do. We have foster dogs that stay there and they are always given proper attention and playtime etc. the facility is also big with awesome private kennels with cute designs. They also make sure to always supervise playtime to ensure the dogs are given plenty of attention and care.

“Talk about peace of mind! Underdog allows me to send my active, playful bully mix to play all day in a safe, supervised environment. The Underdog staff takes time to understand each dog and its needs before matching it with an appropriate play group, and doesn’t fault the power breeds for being who they are. It is one of the few day cares in the area that would take my pup, Jack, even though he is a Canine Good Citizen and not at all aggressive. Underdog and Rob don’t judge a dog based on their breed or appearance, but get to know the dog and ensure a daycare experience that works for that dog. The folks who supervise play do so closely and ensure nothing escalates from play to something else, and i feel completely comfortable knowing Jack is in loving, capable hands. Now that I’ve found Underdog, I wouldn’t take him anywhere else! Jack has come home from other daycares scratched up, nibbled and once even with an ear puncture. After a full and active day at Underdog, he just comes home happy and tired.
It’s also so convenient to be able to drop Jack off on my way to a flight in/from Love. Thanks, Underdog Kennels, for taking such great care of my boy!”

“I have had a hard time finding a boarder that I trust and know will take great care of my dog when I am needing to leave town. Underdog Kennels is AMAZING! They are extremely kind and professional and take great care of all the animals there. My dog came back home happy and exhausted from non-stop play with her fellow dog-friends at Underdog. I appreciate having a place that I can trust to take excellent care of my dog.
Side note. If they weren’t already amazing enough with the care they give to dogs boarding, they are also extremely involved with Dallas Pets Alive – taking in and working to get sweet pups adopted from around DFW. All around just wonderful people.”

I WILL NEVER GO ANYWHERE ELSE! I recently boarded my bulldog, Tucker, with Underdog Kennels and it has by far been the best boarding experience I have ever encountered. Rob truly cares for the well being of all of the dogs. This is important to me because Tucker is a rescue and has some interesting quirks. All dogs are different and Rob made sure to understand all of Tuckers qualities to make sure to cater to his needs appropriately. In the past, I have had bad experiences with other boarding facilities, my pup was not fed, was neglected, and wrongfully punished for playing too hard (they put a 50lb bulldog with the tiny dogs…). At Underdog, Rob asked me if he could put peanut butter on Tuckers’s food if he had trouble eating to encourage him to eat (sometimes when dogs are away from home they don’t eat), this shows that Rob not only cares about my dog but is experienced in this business, he knew that my dog was probably going to have a hard time eating before I even said it!!! Not only were the dogs separated for play time by size, but also by breed. Sometime certain breeds don’t like to play, or play harder than other breeds their size. Rob made sure that even though Tucker is small he is also heavy and plays harder/more aggressive than a lot of other big dogs. By doing this he has set the dogs up for success to not hurt each other and have a good time. All play time was supervised and HE SENT ME VIDEOS of Tucker having a great time – talk about trust and comfort! When I picked up Tucker this time, he did not cower or avoid me for days like he has done in the past. He was so happy which shows he had a great time while he was there and was taken care of. Plus he slept for days because he played so hard. Thank you, Rob, for taking such good care of my dog and for truly caring for his well-being. I WILL BE BACK!!
