Jackson's Place is a GEM !!!

by Indiesmom

aww....I'm so glad I found this place! I'm quite the overprotective mommy and LOVE that I can drop her off and know shes safe and cared for.I don't have to worry all day thats shes ok. My puppy likes it there, I can tell when I drop her off and always excited to see Deb the owner. Deb is always so sweet and wonderful to me and my baby.The place is always clean and homelike. The best is that when I pick her up she is worn out from all the playing!! I'm so glad she screens the dogs allowed into the daycare to assure the dogs are in a safe enviroment. Also, hours are perfect for my schedule, which changes alot. I trust everyone there and can't thank them enough.

Excellent care for my baby (dog)

by foodieaddict

This place is wonderful and I have yet to find a better place in Houston. Seriously! I drive all the way from Heights (in tons of traffic) to drop my dog off to have some interaction with the other dogs. The owner is very particular when it comes to the review process but it makes perfect sense (especially since its cage free). Price is high but VERY worth it (seems they are all about the same price these days). If you have physically walked into other care centers, this place is a gem in comparison. I like taking my dog here because it is cage free and always clean and home feeling. My family makes fun of me because I tell them about the things they do at Jacksons Place (naptime, playtime outside...I/they treat him like he is my baby..exactly like I want). Thats just my 2 cents...

I love Jacksons Place and would not be anywhere else.

by aly0301

The service and care that is given by the staff of jacksons place is tremendous. The dogs here do go through a trial run which who in there right mind would complain about that. Do you not want your pet safe? I do. Leaving your dog here. What if they didnt? how would you feel if sweet little princess was attacked by a faroucious dog names cujo? There are reasons why aggresive dogs are not allowed. as well as pets that can not get along with others. just like children who have bad behavior! Do any of you really account for the stress thats given by having 25 - 30 dogs barking and playing or whining all day long from 6am to 6pm. I would really love to watch those of you who leave bad comments on here to try that for a day. I am certain you could go crazy so it is not a unstressful job but it is a GIVING and loving job. there is so much animal abuse given by so many owners you should be pleased to have someone you can go to that is not going to discipline your pet like you would. but you act out of anger and being a professional the employees of jacksons place have to act as a Rational human. For all you bad mouthers out there.. get over yourself. This is one out there that could be a better sitter for your pets that the people at jacksons place.

• Pros: The friendly staff, the large room's for the dogs, the 2 backyards, and the cleanliness!!
• Cons: i dont have any i love it here

A Word From Another Dog Daycare Owner

by ddcofriveroaks

I read the reviews for Jackson's Place and felt like putting my own review of J's Place and its owner. First off, I first met Deb when I opened up my daycare back in March 2006 and she gave us invaluable advice and offered much of her time, even though she is very busy with her own businesses. She also helped us get our start by referring more than a few people to us. I can fill up this whole review with her generous attributes; suffice it to say, Deb is a wonderful person and a magnificant benefactor. I have visited her daycare many times and the dogs in her care are pampered; she puts the quality of their care above everything else and it shows. She does not "cram" dogs into small rooms; quite the contrary. Her facility is truly a "home away from home" --I loved her design and actually emulated it here at my place (imitation is a form of flattery!). With respect to accepting/rejecting dogs for her daycare program, I understand all-too well how hard it is to tell a dog owner that their dog cannot attend--people do take that personally, but they need to understand that rejection does NOT mean their dog isn't a good dog; it merely means that the dog is not a good fit for that particular daycare. Aggressive behaviors are not the only reason for rejection. Daycare is an interactive environment; there are some dogs who simply do not socialize well and it comes through loud & clear with excessive barking, severe anxiety, and so on.

I noticed that Deb posted a response to the criticisms directed at her business and at her personally. Her dignity and class show in every word she wrote. I feel proud to have someone of her caliber and character as my "competitor".

Home away from home for your puppy love!

by sputnik44

Where else can a career mama leave her little boy with four paws and a waggy tail all day and feel secure that he's loved and entertained? The crew and owner of Jackson's place make sure that my puppy has friends his size to play and cuddle with, that he is taken out and walked, that there are plenty of toys to chew and tug, that he has a regular snack and nap time, and that there are lots of kisses coming his way. I am very particular about my boy and am thrilled that he has Jackson's. Don't hesitate to entrust these folks with your fur-friend. Ask to meet Boris, the new labradoodle, who is a doll baby! Oh, there are many "regular" pups that become pals, so stick around to see them play...they are hilarious. Hip, hip hooray for Jackson's Place!

From the Owner of Jackson's Place Dog Daycare

by jacksonsplace

To JustWantWhatsFair:

You called and never said anything about a dog. The only thing you tried to talk to me about was advertising on my website and I told you that I didn't have time for sales calls and I hung up. Again, you kept calling back and never mentioned a dog and I again told you that I don't have time for sales calls. As business owners we get countless sales calls everyday and the only way to get you guys off the phone is to hang up since you guys & gals can't take no for an answer. Then you get your feelings hurt and come on here and lie. Shame on you!!

Dear Owner,

by pitip_2000

Just a word of advise, be more sensitive and understanding when referring to other people's dogs and try to be nicer when addressing issues with customers. Sometimes when you get emails, letters or reviews, be objective. And yes you are right, I am going to be very honest, your type of services is not for me, but that doesn't mean that it won't work for others.

Checked out this place . . .

by jclarkson

. . . but they close at 6:00! Like most professionals I know, I'm just leaving work around 6:00. Doggie daycares are about convenience, so this place didn't get my business. They were also overpriced and charged unnecessary additional fees. I think it's interesting that CMiller tried out five other daycares and chose to review (and trash) only one of them -- coincidentally, the one closest to this one. And from what I can tell, there are more than six doggie daycares in Houston, so I don't know how CMiller is qualified to say this one is the best in Houston. Sounds like a plant to me.

• Cons: Inflexibility

The Best Dog Daycare in Houston

by cmiller9983

I went and visited 5 different dog daycare before I went to Jackson's Place and I didn't want to go anywhere else. These people are very professional and very friendly. They really love the dogs and it's amazing how the dogs respond to them.

This place is not like the other daycares, it has a very home like comfortable setting, and if you want your dog to be pampered then take them to Jackson's Place.

• Pros: Friendly, Clean, Safe, Service, Professional
• Cons: None
