Pappys Pet Lodge - Rockwall - Rockwall, Texas

I took my boy Ace to Pappys for grooming. He was a total mess with mats and mud. The groomer was fantastic...he looked like a different dog. I highly recommend Pappys Rockwall for grooming, boarding and daycare!!

Awesome place. I work nearby and found them by chance. After talking with the employees for a short time, it's obvious they are "dog people".

More than just liking dogs, they are experienced with dogs. Young Justice really impressed me by noticing dog body language that I didn't and explaining what she was seeing.

Peggy and Bob are also great. Bob walked through the indoor free roam area and all the dogs ran up to the wall to greet him and ask for pets. It was like a furry train following him as he walked from one end back to the office area.

I wasn't stopping in for daycare, boarding, or groom, merely checking them out but it was a hot day and Peggy offered a bowl of water to my dog as if she was looking after her own dog. It was out of concern for the dog and not a sales move. Really great to see such instinctive concern for the dog.

These folks are just really in tune with the dogs. They get to know names and personality of the dog. There's an outside free roam area as well as an indoor area if it's inclement weather or dogs that need separation.

I was finally able to get in to have grooming done and Abi was a trouper and amazing. It was only my rescued dog's 2nd professional groom and Abi put up with my dog's shenanigans and was more concerned about my dog's safety than my dog inadvertently getting handsy with Abi as she tried to escape the tub. Abi is also "dog people" and a dog owner.

Despite my dog vocally accusing Abi of trying to wash off and then blow off her "protective layer", my dog came out with white whites, her floofy undercoat (which was undergoing heavy shed) thinned out, and feeling soft and "fresh and clean".

I've read stories of how dog daycare places can be bad, but this is my only experience with one and these guys are great.

We were having our home treated by a pest control service and needed some place to have our cats watched for four hours. We brought in two irate cats who do not like being transported in carriers. One of which pooped and puked inside his carrier. The ladies at the front desk were wonderful and took care of the kitties and the mess. I was very impressed and we will using Pappy for future trips.

Tilly Mae loves going to "Doggy Day Camp." Whenever I drop her off, she is greeted with hugs and excitement. Not only does she go for day camps, but Pappys is the only place I take her for boarding. I actually drive 30 minutes to Pappys in Rockwall because she feels safe and loved. Thank y'all for making my fur baby feel safe and loved.

Our dogs love to stay at Pappy's in Rockwall! We always book Jake and Ciri in a suite together that has a webcam, so Mom and Dad can check up on them anytime we want. We love the staff and trust our most precious pets with them several times a year. Highly recommend!!!!

Absolutely Amazing

I am so thankful for Pappy's Pet Lodge in Rockwall. I adopted my sweet dog in July and needed to board her this past weekend. My dog Leila is very nervous and timid from a bad past home life and has been making slow but steady progress since her adoption day. I was very concerned about sending her to board overnight.

When I got to the Lodge on 10/13/23 at 7am, the ladies at the front desk understood the assignment immediately. They noticed how nervous Leila was and gave her princess treatment. I was nearly in tears and they were so patient and non-judgmental and made sure my dog would be taken care of while I was away.

When I went to pick Leila up, the people at the front desk were so nice once again and the same amazing lady who checked me in on Friday gave me a little report on how Leila did throughout her stay.

The place itself seemed clean and well kept. I genuinely can't thank everyone at Pappy's Pet Lodge enough and would recommend this place to anyone in the area. <3

Our 12 year old Labrador had lost her sister the week before we needed to be in Texas for my husband's business trip, and we really wanted to see my mom. The sitter we wanted accidentally didn't update her calendar, so she couldn't go there. Luckily, my mom recommended Pappy's, who confirmed that she was welcome as long as we provided up to date vaccination records.

We were a bit nervous, wondering how she would do, but the staff was so loving she went right to them and she did really well. We could tell when we picked her up that she loved the staff.

We would definitely recommend Pappy's and take our fur baby back.

I was very satisfied with the Rockwall Pappy's boarding facility when I went on a Thanksgiving trip for five nights. My dog, an 8-year old Boxer-AmStaff rescue, is very high-anxiety and high-energy, so he needs proper kennel care. He is not good with some other dogs sometimes, but he needs the big space to exercise that the Rockwall facility offers. Pappy's handled this need well.
My dog transitioned back to my care with no evident trauma or bad habits picked up.
