Best place on earth for dogs. We have two high energy fur babies, and they get to expend that energy at camp Bowwow in all kinds of ways. They are super creative with their activities and my dogs love going there. The staff are amazing and are clearly dog people, as are the owners. I can't believe they got 1 star 5 months ago for turning a dog away due to not having vaccines from a vet. Seriously!! I only want my dogs around other safe dogs and that means officially vaccinated. I highly recommend camp bow wow on Indian school road. read more

This is my pups home away from home. He loves going to camp to play with his fellow campers and staff! He has been boarded at this location about 3 times. This last time they called me to report he wasn't feeling well. Bear gets anxiety when away from me too long. So his upset stomach started acting up! Camp Bow Wow experienced helpers monitored him and kept me informed. By the time I returned from my trip Bear was already back to his normal self. Thank you camp for your continuous support and love you show my Bear when he is in your care. He was happy to be back home and sleeping like a well loved dog! read more

My fur baby has separation anxiety really bad, but Ernest, Rachel, and Linda, make him feel extremely comfortable. He loves his "pup cups" and I love seeing all the pics they take of him. read more

They are not affiliated with other Camp Bow Wow locations. So they will have no record of your dog and will not accept your vaccination from another camp. Also you must book days ahead of time. No walk ins. The parking lot is dangerous and only wide enough for one car but you must park in that same narrow area. The manager refused my dog but also refused to speak with me as to why. My dog has been going to dog camps in 3 different states for 10 years and never had an issue until today. I now need to drive to Avondale 45 minutes away. Zero stars. read more

Thank you again Camp Bow Wow for taking such wonderful care of our tripod, Stella!! This is the third time we have boarded her with you! Driving home from Ohio to South Carolina yesterday, we received a call from camp. Zoey (CBW staff member) began the conversation with, 'Stella is fine". She went on to tell me that they were concerned about something and thought we should know. Zoey offered to send a photograph but, I declined because we have such trust in CBW. There was absolutely nothing we could do because we were hours from home and wouldn't arrive until after closing. We have two emergency contacts on file, but we decided the issue was not that serious. I am a teacher and have had to call many parents to talk about one issue or another. I always begin the conversation with, 'Johnny is fine'. It sounds like a small detail, but it's really a very big deal! We picked up Stella early this morning and she is perfectly fine. Zoey happened to be back on duty and we discussed the possibilities regarding her concern. Again, she took the time to speak to us with care. Thank you, Camp Bow Wow for once again caring for our sweet Stella! She's happily napping at home now, probably dreaming of playing with her CBW friends. We will be forever campers! read more

I could write a raving review for Camp Bow Wow every day - everyone there is fantastic. Like the other people here I love the friendly owners and staff, the webcam, the theme days, and the tired puppies that I get at the end of a visit. I also like that they keep us informed of any safety concerns (like recently taking temps due to a doggie cold/flu outbreak) and that the staff is just as excited to see my pups as they are to be there. I especially appreciated the time when I was at the airport and needed a last minute overnight. CBW helped out and gave me peace of mind in a pinch and saved my trip. I'm so happy that my pups are part of their pack. read more

It is finally time I leave a review for my 80 lbs Bernedoodle, Marshall's favorite place. I have heard nightmare about doggy daycare or overnight boarding places, so I did quite a bit of research and settled on Camp Bow Wow. Marshall had his introductory day and passed with flying colors. They do a great job with safely evaluating a dogs personality, confidence and comfort in being in a high energy dog environment. They introduce them at the pace the dog is comfortable with and give them a great first experience. Marshall now attends for half days Tuesdays and Thursdays since about summer. He would prefer every day, but ya know... bills in 2020... Marshall meets me at the door every morning excitedly hoping its the day to go to Camp. He walks into Camp legitimately exploding with excitement. He is a well trained polite boy, but he cant contain himself at camp. All the staff know him and greet him so nicely (though he does have a few favorites). You can really tell that every single person that works there LOVES dogs. The owners are present and personable as well and its also apparent they are truly dog people! During play there is always a staff member present to supervise, watch for when a dog might have had too much play, that they're drinking water, for any injuries, and if a dog needs a break. They truly get to know every dogs personality and watch who their favorite doggy friends are. This is the only place I would feel comfortable leaving Marshall overnight if needed. Sometimes I feel like he would rather live there. They do fun events like a Halloween costume contest, summer water park days, and now a snow day for the holidays. Thank you Camp Bow Wow for treating Marshall like family. Every dog needs a day at camp! read more

Camp Bow Wow - Marshall's Social Butterfly Halloween Costume! - Pet Boarding Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Super clean facilities, friendly staff, an outdoor water feature, and other dog butts? It's basically paradise! (for dogs). Whether it's just a day of play or an extended overnight stay, our pup Daisy is happy when she goes in and happy when she comes out. And she is ALWAYS worn out! We've had great experiences at this location every time, as well as the Agoura Hills/California location. They seem to really love and care for all the dogs...we trust CBW and never worry about Daisy while she's there. Camp Bow Wow also offers a live video stream in each of the play areas--outdoor, indoor, etc--where you can watch your dog in action (although the one time I tried to view, the connection was pretty spotty/slow/delayed... not sure if that's a them-issue, or me-issue). I also appreciate that all dogs must "pass" an interview to ensure that they all play nicely together and get along well with others when a new family signs up. Their pricing is pretty competitive, and the check-in/out process is usually very quick but thorough. Great communication and customer service all the time. Our pup loves this place, or at least she has never said otherwise, so 4 paws up! read more

Camp Bow Wow - All smiles....Happy customer! - Pet Boarding Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Super super professional, legit boarding and daycare option for pups! Adopted a new lil lady in January and due to COVID, haven't been able to socialize her with other people or dogs like I'd like to. I need a good boarding option but wasn't sure how she'd handle it, so I called Camp Bow Wow and felt super comfortable right from the first phone call. They handled all my questions and concerns with patience and the utmost professionalism. The "interview" process is very organized and geared towards helping your pup feel comfortable integrating into the play room based on size and temperament. After the interview, they request that you leave the pup there for 3 hours to see how they tolerate camp. There are webcams where you can watch the super sweet staff monitor activity and give the dogs love. I felt very comfortable after the free trial run so I boarded my pup the next night. She came home happy, clean, and totally wiped out! Excellent experience from start to finish!! read more

Camp Bow Wow - Wiped out from an overnight stay at camp! - Pet Boarding Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I have been sending my shepherd to Camp Bow Wow for over a year now and they have my full loyalty. I love the transparency of being able to check in on my dog on the live webcams to see how she's doing. I love the cute photos of her playing. They have numerous safety protocols (vaccination records, doggie "auditions" to make sure it's a good fit for your pet, down time to allow for proper digestion). Their high standards of care allow me to feel incredibly comfortable with their group play set up. It's fantastic that they have an outdoor splash pad. Very fun addition, especially in Arizona. Pricing is very fair for the quality of service. read more

My pup LOVES CBW Phoenix! Whenever we pull into the parking lot he sits up and immediately starts wagging his tail. He pulls me to the door and gets so excited when the counselors greet him, he particularly loves Avery, who is amazing! They do great enrichment with him and whenever I check up on him during the day through the cameras he always looks like he's having a great time. My negative experiences here are few and far between, and if anything does happen they go out of their way to make it right. I also love that I can buy packages that don't expire so most days I can drop him off and pick him up without having to stop and pay. The icing on the cake -- they do an interview day to ensure each dog is properly suited for the daycare environment and ensure that all pups are up to date on their vaccines (the vet tech in me is a sucker for that ). My dog and I like this place so much that when we move out to Glendale next month I might keep making the drive to Phoenix just for daycare, highly recommend! read more

I love Camp Bow Wow, but more importantly, my dog Parlay loves it! On mornings that we go, when I say "are you ready for camp?" she goes crazy--and when we arrive, she rushes in to see all of her friends (both two-legged and four-legged). I am a first time dog mom, and was nervous about leaving her. The staff was so friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. The interview day put my mind completely at ease and I am so thankful to have a great place for her to go when I have long work days. There are always people watching them, ensuring their play areas are clean, and giving them attention. The grooming services are also fantastic! The app is easy to use, and I love the web cams so I can check in. I haven't boarded her yet--but I feel completely comfortable with Camp Bow Wow when that need arises. I am so happy to have found this wonderful place! read more

This Doggy Day Camp is the BEST. My puppy comes home so exhausted every time and the staff is extremely friendly. They dedicate their day to make sure your pup has the most enrichment and exercise. You can check in on your dog via the app as they have cameras for paw-rents. Thank you so much for all you do! read more

Had 2 dogs there for boarding for 4 nights/5 days. It was great to able to watch the dogs during the day with the different camera options at random times and we did that often throughout their stay. They always had supervision in each area that dogs were with maybe 10-15 dogs per person in the area just walking around. If you're looking for anyone to do anything more than walk around and watch the dogs so they don't get into squabbles (which mine did) then it's the place for you. If you want your dog to get pet AT ALL or any attention at any point the time then it's not the place for you. We watch numerous times at random times during the day for a good amount of time and say a total of ONE dog get pet the whole time. They played some water spraying with the tennis ball but nothing more than that. Not the right fit if your dog likes any attention other than from other dogs. Not ideal or conducive for boarding. Fine for a day of play read more

Hands down the best doggie daycare we've found. The facility is impeccably clean and they have both indoor and outdoor space so your pup doesn't have to do his business indoors (although I'm pretty sure I saw my dog relieve himself in the indoor space once...I was not impressed). And cameras! You can virtually pop in anytime to see which camp counselor your dog has chosen as a target for face jumping, and if it's bad enough, send your spouse to pick him up so you avoid the humiliation. Because, let me tell you, the dogs have so much fun, any training they've had is out the window. They also offer grooming services! I'm not sure if there's an actual groomer on staff, but you can definitely get a wash, nail trim, etc. And boarding, of course. My pup gets highly stressed when boarded, so we've only used that service a couple times, but they were very thorough in ensuring he got his medications on schedule. I boarded at another play and stay facility once for an extended period and he came home with leftover food that wasn't his and a few extra pills that were missed. So I very much appreciate Camp Bow Wow's efforts to make sure your dog gets everything they need. Finally, I have to compliment the counselors. They are the best out there! Their love of dogs comes thru. I've seen mine annoyingly jump in someone's face only to have that same person love on him minutes later. They are there for the dogs. You will not see them spend their shift on their phone, ignoring dogs and cleanup. And some of the counselors have been there for quite a long time, maybe since they opened. I'd give 10 stars if I could! read more

Camp Bow Wow is amazing! We boarded our dogs here for the first time recently because we were doing an international trip and would be gone for two weeks. I was very anxious about leaving our two little pups anywhere for two weeks, much less somewhere new to us. We've used other similar boarding places and dog sitters over the past several years of living in the area, but have had very mixed and often disappointing experiences. Camp bow wow has been a wonderful experience though from beginning to end. In the beginning, they did the normal screening process prior to boarding, that other places typically do, where you do day care for at least a day and they watch the dogs to check for their comfort and behavioral signals. They have you stay for the first 30 min and watch on a screen with them as they bring them into the all day play area on their own with employees and then with other dogs as well to make sure the behavior was a good fit as well. If they pass those initial screenings they stay for the rest of the time doing day care. When we went through that initial process these were some of the things I noticed most. First, the place was extremely clean and didn't have that lingering dog urine smell that other facilities try to mask with candles and sprays in the lobby. Second, everyone I interacted with, even when very young, was incredibly professional, organized and friendly (this is something I've seen other very similar local places struggle with a lot). And lastly, whenever checking in on the cameras the employees in the actual play rooms did make an effort to both give any of the dogs some individual attention and try to keep the place clean. That was all just from the initial day care session. When we actually boarded them, they were very communicative, reassuring and flexible with us. At one point, they even emailed us (we didn't have cell service) to let us know that they noticed a lump on one of our dog's chests and wanted to make sure we knew about it. This was something we'd already had checked with the vet and knew was fine, but the fact that they noticed that told me our dogs were getting actual good care and attention and that they were professional enough to make that known to us. When we picked our dogs up all of their bedding and toys were very clean and our dogs seemed so happy and tuckered out (not frantic and stressed). Based on the experience we had, I would definitely recommend this business and we'll absolutely be using them going forward. Thank you Camp Bow Wow for taking such good care of our pups and making that part of our trip stress free! read more

Happy to leave my pup where I could feel relieved she would be well taken care of. Staff wasnice and caring. We stayed only for 4 hours and my pup was pooped from playing. I especially enjoy watching activity on webcams on my phone! read more

I just moved to Phoenix for work and needed a quality day care facility for my Cavalier King Charles, Maisie.... and I found it! I love the cameras and having the access to check in on her any time of the day. The reason I'm writing this review is because I'm so thankful for the staff and their communication. I had to work late in Prescott Valley and was afraid I would not be on time to pick Maisie up before they closed resulting in me having to board her for the night. Natalie and another employee (I did not catch her name) put me at ease and stayed until I was able to pick her up. I was only about 10 minutes late after closing time but they did not make me feel bad or act irritated for being late. Huge thank you to the staff! Maisie LOVES this place! read more

Camp Bow Wow - Riley smiling at Camp Bow Wow. - Pet Boarding Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Staff was super friendly, kind and knowledgeable. They communicated with us well in the days leading up to our first visit. Neither of my fur babies had ever been to camp or day care previously and I was super nervous to leave them as they're both rescues with a little bit of separation anxiety. And lets be real, I was super nervous to leave my fur children in a new place with people we don't really know. The staff was so excited to meet them and made me feel really confident leaving them for their first day at camp. I watched the cameras often to check in on them and to make sure they were having fun, which they were. As I was watching on the cameras, another dog was picking on my youngest and they were able to read the body language and de-escalate the situation without incident by removing the other dog. This was such great reassurance that they are able to see any issues and resolve them quickly. We'll be using them for day camp and boarding in the future and feel very comfortable doing so. Would highly recommend! read more

Honestly I would give this place no stars considering they did nothing for my dog Teddy. My miniature Australian shepherd is almost four years old and we moved here from California a few weeks ago. He went to a similar daycare back home and has never had any problems with other dogs. With the great reviews here I thought I would bring him in for his temperament test and leave him there for the day while I moved into my new place. I assumed there would be no problems but the two young girls that evaluated him said that he was "too aggressive" and that he "failed the test". The women at the front desk did nothing but said I could bring him back to get evaluated another day.. (Why would I do that?) I was shocked, sad, confused, and pretty angry). After this I waited a few weeks while considering other options for him while I was working. Thankfully I gave myself a good amount of time before I started work. I came across a new dogtopia (only a few months old) off McDowell close by the 10. Everyone there is super friendly and they had no problems with Teddy. I've waited almost a month to post this review because I wanted to gather all my thoughts. It's really unfortunate the way they treated my dog and I. If your looking for a good daycare I wouldn't even consider taking your dog here even with the good reviews. Here's a picture of Teddys report card from his first day at dogtopia.. read more

Camp Bow Wow - Report card from first day at dogtopia... - Pet Boarding Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Love love love Camp Bow Wow! So many good things to say, so I'll just sum up with bullet points so I don't write a novel. -Staff is so friendly and genuinely happy to see the dogs (Tessa is THE BEST) -The facilities are very clean and you can tell they make cleanliness a priority -They take the welfare of the dogs seriously - always someone in the room with the dogs, required interview day to test personality, consideration for bloat around play time and meal time -Indoor/outdoor access in all the playrooms -Live web cams so I can check in throughout the day -Always plenty of playmates and ALWAYS attentive staff to supervise -My dog leaves happy and exhausted every day -Competitive pricing and more value compared to other dog camps & hotels in the area We have a pretty long trip coming up soon and I'm truly torn between trying to find a sitter to stay at our house or just bringing our dog to Bow Wow... I honestly think she'd have a better time at Bow Wow! So I think that says a lot! read more

I have always used camp bow wow but NEVER again. We had a bit of an issue with my dog and his vaccinations but we got that straightened out. I brought my dog there this morning and before driving out an attendant came to get me in my car. I was told my dog was unruly and tried to bite them. My dog has never done that so I went behind where the dogs are kept to figure this out. When I passed the door I thought I was at a booming rage thumping loud midnight party. The other dogs were barking like crazy and my dog was looking at me like" get me out of here! I'm scared!" I do dog training with my dog and it doesn't take a brain scientist to know that dogs DO NOT LIKE LOUGH NOISE AND MUSCIC. I explained that to the staff and front desk and they had no plans on turning off that music and take care of dogs like Professionals do. I will be talking to corporate and the owner of this establishment. My dog has never been aggressive like this. I'm glad I went back there to see what happened. Very very bad place to bring your animal. It's party time for the staff it seems like. read more

I have been taking my pup to CBW since he was a puppy. We have moved often so Jack has gone to locations in North Carolina, Colorado, and Arizona. This CBW just opened and the staff are gracious and wear out my dog during the day! It is centrally located and I never worry about Jack! He goes weekly for daycare and has stayed for boarding as well. If you are a neurotic dog owner like me who worries that your dog is being treated well when you drop them off somewhere look no further and worry no more! I truly feel like this company has been my second family for him! read more

I love Camp Bow Wow, but not nearly as much as my dog does! They really make you feel like they care about your dog as much as you do here, and I love watching him on the cameras during the day. He always looks like he's having a great time, and he's worn out for the whole day after a Camp Bow Wow trip, which as any dog owner knows, is a HUGE plus. Highly recommend this spot if you need to drop off your dog for a few hours or a few nights. read more

Gizmo just had his interview yesterday, basically it's to see if your pup gets a long with other dogs, etc... I left him for a few hours (it's free). I was able to download the app and check him out on live cam. I don't think he stopped playing once! The facilities are so clean, organized, smelled great, new. All the staff I encountered were very nice and professional and it felt like they really liked being there. Gizmo had a blast and is ready for his doggie vacation! read more

This was our first time using a daycare! Nothing but pleased. The girls greeted him and he ran up for pets. He never does that with strangers! He came home the first day so happy. The next day he is pulling and whining. Hurry up Mom, I want to play. The overall experience was exceptional. I had him there 3 days in a row. We came down with an RV group from Vegas. I didn't want him cooped up all day in the trailer. What a super experience. I am now going home to find him a place in Vegas to go to. read more

I was checking out their website and it said to come in to see a tour. I called and they said they are not doing tours because of covid. We are 8 months into covid so you would think the website would be up to date, even the covid update says nothing about not doing tours. I'd like to actually see the environment where my dogs are going to be staying so I'll likely look elsewhere. What are they hiding? read more

My puppy Dunkin has been going to day camp here for about 6/7 weeks now and he loves it. He literally loses his mind when we pull into the parking lot. The staff is super friendly and they take really good care of the dogs. The facility is clean and I love the cameras to be able to see how's he's doing throughout the day. I also love the hours and that he plays so much, he's basically sleep before we leave the parking lot to head home. Prices are good. I have nothing bad to say about this place. read more

My dog just finished her first day of doggie day camp at Camp Bow Wow and she is snoring away!

First off, I'm a harsh critic when it comes to my dogs. This place is AMAZING!! I've tried almost every daycare place within 15 miles and nowhere even holds a candle to their operation. I've given them SO many chances to handle something poorly (I'm a procrastinating entrepreneur/multiple small biz owner....i.e. I'm ALWAYS late) and they Continually go above and beyond, always with a smile and polite demeanor. The place always smells amazing....I just couldn't imagine them Doing this any better than they currently are:....and it's al genuine and never with a corporate mandated smile. Great team atmosphere, and they'll take ownership for any mistakes, it's really refreshing. You simply won't find better or anywhere near as good in the area. Thanks guys, you always make my day easier when the dogs are with you guys. read more

Today was Vipers first day and from the moment we walked in they greeted us and went over the "interview process". Viper had so much fun hanging out and meeting new friends! I was able to view him when I was out on their friendly site/app. When it was time for him to go, another employee knew about Viper and his first day, which reassured that everyone knows about all the dogs personally. He was treated so special. I never knew my dog could get exhausted!!! Thank you! read more

My sweet 75 lb puppy, Fifa, is treated with such love from all the staff at Camp Bow Wow every single day! Only wanting one dog and working full time left me in a pickle as to what to do with my baby girl. I used Wag for awhile but that still meant that she was crated the better part of the day. For a comparable price, Fifa, gets human attention, many furry friends to romp around the play areas, an outdoor splash pad, and I can watch her live on their video cams. I have never boarded her there overnight so I cannot speak to that experience but the day care and the grooming are wonderful. The staff is top notch. So glad I found this place. read more
