Rexpointe Kennels Established in 1956, Rexpointe Kennels in Troy, Michigan offers dog and cat boarding and professional grooming services for all breeds of cats and dogs.

Services
Reservations are required in advance for daycare and boarding- please call 248-879-0940, email or visit the online portal. Updated Vaccine Records (if needed) must be emailed, uploaded to portal or faxed over prior to arrival. We require that all owner provided dry foods be packaged in zip lock baggies- 1 baggie per meal or 1 bag per day to split morning and evening.
We believe happy customers and good feedback from veterinarians are your best bet for finding the best boarding facility. We find that 90%+ of our business comes from referrals. We maintain great relationships with leading area Veterinary Hospitals and we value this endorsement. We recommend you ask friends, and call your veterinarian for references for any kennel you are inquiring about.
Here at Rexpointe we provide a safe, clean, comfortable atmosphere for your pet while you're away. All dogs are housed individually, unless pets in the same family are requested to stay together. Unlike many of the newer "warehouse type" indoor Dog Boarding facilities, our guests each have their own private indoor/outdoor runway.
Rexpointe's cat boarding facility is designed to be a comfortable and relaxing home away from home. Our cattery is situated on our second floor, away from all dog areas to limit noise and stress during boarding. To minimize loneliness, individual kennels are organized to allow our feline guests to observe other cats in a social atmosphere.
Rexpointe offers walks, private playtimes, and group play up to three times daily at your request. We recognize that all dogs have individual needs based on their age and temperament, so owners get to decide how their pet would prefer to spend their day. A third daily activity may be added for $5/time.

They take such good care of my dogs. Once my dog sees the big white building she can't wait until she can go in the back and see all the puppies she can play with. They also have so many options if you'd rather not have puppy playtime.

Really great experience at Rexpointe and feel safe leaving my pup there. Casey (a girl) really is sweet and did a great job with our dog and will be the reason we come back again.

My Archie LOVES going to Rexpointe. We frequently use the daycare, boarding, and grooming. I know when I drop off Archie at Rexpointe, he is getting a good safe care. Unlike many day cares that let your dog play all day with 20-30 other dogs in one place, Rexpointe has scheduled dog play and keeps the groups maximum 6 dogs with one attendant for every 3 dogs.

This approach is the safest for dogs. Also this small group play allows the dogs to actually enjoy play time instead of getting overwhelmed with so many dogs in one area. Archie loves everyone that works at Rexpointe and I know they love him too. We are so thankful we found Rexpointe. If you are looking for a safe, loving, and great dog care/boarding/grooming, look no further and take your dog to Rexpointe!

I boarded my dog here while traveling. Without my permission and against my wishes they cut my dogs hair! When I called to discuss they told me that since i asked them to bath my dog that they also trimmed his hair on his head and around my face. They did a really bad job at it too, and now my dog just has this butchered hair cut. They did not have permission to cut his hair and I did not give them permission to groom him other than bathing.

We have tried several day cares with our Siberian husky and we're always disappointed. Then we found Rexpointe. Absolutely amazing! We were impressed from day one. Our husky goes 2x / week to socialize. It is an hour round drive from our home but well worth it. Staff and care are unbelievable. A great find

My parents boarded our dogs here over 40 years ago. And still today I board my dogs here as well. The staff is incredible and the kennels, services and cleanliness is impeccable. I would never choose any place else for my fur baby!

Such a friendly staff. I needed my cat to stay a night because we are selling our house and he was getting stressed from all the people walking in and out. They took him in that same day I called. I missed my fur baby that night but felt comfortable leaving him there.

Have done boarding and grooming for my three dogs thus far with Rexpointe and I'm absolutely loving their services! My dogs have never had anyone else groom them but me (in all honesty, I haven't done such a good job at staying on top of it either so they're not used to being groomed; thus, it was time for me to come to terms with the fact that I needed to find someone else to do it for me).

I was super nervous for them and the groomer but I'm so glad I found Rexpointe as shockingly, there seemed to be no issues whatsoever the two times they've been groomed here. Hurray! I've also utilized their boarding services for a little over a week trip. All three of my dogs seemed content and well taken care of during their stay. They posted daily pictures of them which I appreciated greatly!

They also provided me with super cute report cards for each one of them via their portal site at the end of their stay. Overall, they seem to know what they're doing and are on top of things. Highly recommend as I will definitely be utilizing their services from now on. Thank you Rexpointe for a peace of mind!

I have been taking my dog for grooming for 8 months too long. The groomer (Renae) is fantastic. The front desk person (Christie) is extremely rude and condescending. You would think from a customer service side, she would work with the customer. If you don't have the perfect dog, stay away. She told me the way my dog behaves she should charge me more.

For being a so called vet tech or whatever her position was previously, she does not understand animals. Good luck if you catch you on a bad day. (I don't think I have ever seen her in a good mood). I have heard this from other customers that have stopped going there. I have also heard to get their ratings up, they will ask customers to submit good ratings. Don't believe the higher ratings. I am not sure why people would want to work with someone like this or take your animals there.

Great boarding place for dogs, cats are welcome too and they are treated well, however the cats boarding area could benefit from a window.

I'll give a five star review but not because my dog stayed here. We tried. I have a Belgian Malinois who does not like being left. Rexpointe was willing to try with her and work with me. We did a trial day and after a few hours they called me to let me know she wasn't doing well. She was barking and lunging at the kennel door and at anyone she didn't know.

I appreciated that they called me rather than to have her upset all day. I went back to get her out and when leaving we talked and the staff who suggested a few trainers who could help me. While I was sad it didn't work out, I was thankful that they were understanding and helpful.

My puppy absolutely loves going to Rex pointe. I love the fact it is family owned and the staff takes care of all the pets with genuine love. I am impressed by the fact they will only have maximum 4-6 dogs at a time for group play. This ensures safety and also for the dogs make friends easier. They don't have camera installed in the stalls but they always post photos from the day and it is good enough for me.

I also call to check how my dog is doing and they are always so thorough in sharing how he is. The biggest proof is my dog absolutely LOVES going to Rexpointe. He runs in the building with tails wagging into the arms of the wonderful staff. All in all, I am so grateful for this place! Thank you Rexpointe! I highly recommend this place!

I'd never kenneled my dogs prior to choosing Rexpointe. Of course, they came with glowing reviews from my family- aunts, grandma, parents- as they have all used Rexpointe for years. As this time period was over the Fourth of July, I needed a reservation which at first was unavailable. I got lucky when they called back and was able to book both boys in a large kennel. Rexpointe offers additional services a la carte for your pups such as one on one play time with a worker, group play with the other dogs, and long walks back on their extensive property.

I booked both of my boys up for activities while they were there for a week, added on a grooming package for when they were home. Rexpointe even offers a selection of food should you not want to pack your own which is extremely helpful. Each day I was able to view photos taken of them in group play and posted on their Facebook. When I came to pick them up, I got a report card of their time spent- behaviors, etc.

They almost seemed disappointed I was there to take them home because of how much fun they had. I'll add some photos of their stay, and will definitely look to book with Rexpointe in the future.

They don't take proper care of cats. My cat was whining the whole time after she came back. I asked the lady in front desk why they did not take any pictures of her playing and also suggested to post cat photos separately from dogs. She basically said we are doing photos for free and so basically she intents to say they are not open for any suggestions as though it's a favor.

She spoke to me like she did a favor by taking care of my cat. I have the sweetest cat with absolutely no problems and extremely soft Won't go back.she ate like anything after coming home. Just to add they removed my review from their website and Facebook. They only keep 5* reviews

I am specifically reviewing their grooming services. I have not used their boarding or daycare. They did a great job of grooming my puppy, who I'm sure isn't the easiest to deal with. But she came out looking just as I had hoped. They finished quicker than I expected and the price was very reasonable. Overall, we had a good experience at Rexpointe.

This was our first time leaving our hyperactive pup Daniel. They took such great care of him that he didn't want to leave! This place is ADORABLE and the staff is the best customer service from beginning to end. This will definitely be my go to place. And super adorable!

We love Rexpointe and so does our dog. We have used the boarding, daycare regularly, and grooming. The staff takes amazing care of him each day. The groomers are patient and do a lovely job. The owner is very down to earth and makes sure that your dog is happy. I love that my dog has his own run that is frequently opened throughout the day. They always have fresh water.

He also gets a walk and outside play time either alone or with a group. They include food when boarding or you can bring your own. Most of all my dog is so happy to go there. Tail wagging and excited. It's his home away from home.

I am in absolute disbelief of the way I was treated by their staff yesterday. In the past, I received rudeness from one their groomers but was trying to be understanding if she was having a bad day. Today I explained to the same person that I did not want my dog completely shaved, but merely trimmed to which she did not want to oblige and she replied "We can do that if you don't mind your dog looking ridiculous!" She also berated me for not bringing him in more often and implying I wasn't caring for him properly without knowing me or my personal situation!

I told her I did not appreciate her ridiculing me and couldn't believe she was speaking to me this way. I picked up my dog and walked out. I'm horrified that she would talk to a customer this way and it concerns me even more how they could be treating the animals!

Whenever I go out of town I board my cat Pepper. I love the fact that they post pictures of the animals on Facebook while they're there. During my most recent vacation I emailed Rexpointe several times and they were very quick in responding which made me feel like they value me as their customer. Pepper is always happy and healthy when I pick her up!

This is a great kennel. I was a little nervous leaving my dog there for the 1st time, only because we are currently working through some anxiety and slight aggression issues with our dog, which I had mentioned when I reserved his boarding. I was very happy with the way they cared for my dog. I could see he was having a great time in his play groups, with all the pictures they posted, and he was well cared for while our family was away. And I was relieved to hear that he did great. I would definitely recommend Rexpointe kennels.

Just got off the phone with a employer who basically said our dog has too many health issues. He would feel uncomfortable if she stayed at this kennel. What the hell! Our dog is 17 years old and can still see a little and I don't appreciate when I call someone before him and she says That y'all have a room specifically for older dogs. What is it Rexpointe do you have a area for older dogs or not?

He kept saying that my dog would be uncomfortable. No it's this guy who would be uncomfortable with our dog. Y'all in the money business and customers dogs come after that!

Great kennel! This kennel has great staff and service. Very reasonable pricing. I used this location for my GSD who can be very anxious, they took great care of her. I highly recommend. Only suggestion would be to accept debit cards or some sort of electronic payments.

About 6 years ago petsmart would not take my 14 year old Bichon because she couldn't walk. They will only take pets who can stand on their own. I called Rexpointe and they fussed over my baby sooo much! They loved her as I would. After we had to send Baby to heaven we rescued a new dog. She loves going to Rexpointe and when we get out her go bag she is excited! The entire team loves my Honey boo-boo! They are the best! I feel better traveling and leaving her with our extended family. Love this team!

It is very upsetting to have to leave this review but I feel for the health and safety of other animals I need to. I brought both of my dogs in to be groomed and I left them for the entire day from 8am to almost 8pm. Which I thought was a great service they offer for working people. They said they had no problem keeping them all day and would feed them if needed.

All I asked was that my cocker Spaniel get extra water because he is on several heart medications for a bad heart. To my horror when I brought them home after the appointment they drank for a half an hour straight. My cocker drank a half gallon of water in the half hour. I have never seen them so thirsty, my food driven cocker didn't even want dinner till after they drank the entire gallon dispenser of water. Which was three quarters of the way full! I have heard good reviews about Rex point through the years. So this was a very shocking experience.

The owner treated me and my dog badly. Was told if I took down my honest review he would take my dog in during a dog flu outbreak after the other ones were either booked or infected. This was during a work emergency and he didn't care I had tears in my eyes when asking to take my baby in. Initial post had said problems of administering a dog vaccine that he already had and then having diarrhea the next week while starting a new job.

I've been away from Michigan for the past 14 years. When I was living here last, Rexpointe was my choice for leaving my pets overnight when I traveled. They gave great care. Now that I am back in Michigan for good and, sadly, had a bit of a disaster with another kennel closer to my new home recently, I came back to Rexpointe, even though it's a bit of a drive from my new home.

It is well-worth the extra distance. Their care and concern of our K9 companion, for daycare and overnight stays is simply the best. Staff is attentive, and loving and our dog loves the playtime which is actually "playtime" with staff and a limited number of dogs of similar size and temperament (unlike some day care/overnight facilities that tend to be crowded and where staff can be observed on a webcam mopping floors, rarely actually interacting with the dogs, as dogs wander around aimlessly or cower in the corner). Great grooming services, too! Love Rexpointe for your dogs and cats!

My family boarded our dogs here while we went on a 2 week vacation. They posted pictures of our dogs daily which we all enjoyed, our dogs were very happy here as you can see in pictures :

I am so comfortable in this place and feel confident about the care they give my dog, Ranger. They are patient with his nervousness and understand that he can be picky with people he likes. I love that they post photos of him on Facebook each day so I can see what adventure/play date he had which is comforting. I highly recommend this place if you need to board your dog. Prices are fair and the dog's runs are spacious.

I'm a long time user of Rexpointe Kennel - 16 years now - and on my second set of rescues to board here. Not only does Oakland Animal Hospital highly recommend them, I only have great things to say as well. Don't expect your dog to have a couch, TV, etc., this is not the case. They are well fed and cared for and have their own dog runs. Regardless of vaccinations, Rexpointe cannot control airborne illnesses and many dogs can be exposed through other venues prior to boarding - grooming at other facilities, dog parks, etc. If you want great care, Rexpointe is the place.

My dog Lola has spent a lot of time at Rexpointe, we have always had a great experience! The owner and staff really care about all their guests, Lola has always been great with excitement and affection. The facilities are clean and nice. I am very particular with my pets' care and will continue to trust the Rexpointe family to care for my pets anytime we need them!

New to the area, but not impressed. They charge you if you bring the dog 2 mins before they close or first thing int he morning, same rate. If you are the first one there in the morning to pick your dog up they charge you for the full day. They charge you to let your dog out to run and exercise. Mine was there 7 days came home with kennel cough and a bill for over $300.

Maybe I am just not used tot he big city treatment. Where I come from you board your dog and they let it out of its run to exercise and call that good dog boarding. Here they apparently leave it in the cage all day unless you pay to let out and you get a free trip tot he vet with kennel cough.

We've been using the grooming here for our dog for a few years now, but recently used it for boarding for the first time and had a great experience. I was a little nervous because he's never been boarded anywhere before, but he seemed to be happy and well taken care of! The customer service is always great here and the staff is always so kind. They've gotten to know Martini pretty well and he's so comfortable here!

We have taken our 3 year old coonhound to many other kennels for boarding. This was the first place she was returned to us and she was actually happy. The doggy doors and walks have made it a great experience for her.

This is the only place I trust my furbaby, Lucky, to stay! Lucky has a lot of separation anxiety and doesn't do well with big dogs (he's a miniature dachshund) and they know how to handle him! He gets walks alone and individual playtime I recently went out of country for a few weeks and left lucky there for a couple days a week leading up to my vacation just to get him adjusted and used to them and he loves it there!

I sign him up for walks and he has a large fenced area to run around which makes me happy :) They offer dog food but I prefer to supply my own and they have no problems feeding him the way I specify. These people truly love dogs and know how to handle them. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a great place to leave your pup!

Our 3 year old Bichon visits RexPointe for her weekly fluff and buff! (Yes, she is spoilt). She also stays there when we travel (which is often). When she started, she was very nervous and would shake when being carried into their office. Now, she happily walks into their office and jumps into Amy's lap! The staff is absolutely fantastic and gives each dog personal care - they are all true dog lovers. We wouldn't dream of going to another facility. Thank you RexPointe.

I will ALWAYS board/groom my dogs here! Most of the employees have been there for many years, so they must be doing something right! They Have awesome hours. but you can pay with CASH OR CHECK ONLY! If i am ever unhappy with my dogs haircuts my groomer will work with me and fix it or next time will do something different. Some people think the prices are steep. but i have called around to different grooming places and they are all about the same!

Even if i just get my dogs bathed they include ear cleaning, anal glands, nail trim, shaving feet and sanitary area! i don't even have to ask! They also sell a small selection of treats, toys, collars and leashes just in case i forgot to pack some while they stay at the "doggy hotel" They are VERRRYYY busy around the holidays and in the summer so i suggest you make reservations WAY in advanced for haircut or borarding! I can usually get my dogs in at anytime for just a bath.
