Theme day!
Kisha K.

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.

Marshall's Social Butterfly Halloween Costume!
Kaylee S.

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!

All smiles....Happy customer!

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!

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!!

Happy camper

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.

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!

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!

Riley smiling at Camp Bow Wow.

We absolutely love Camp Bow Wow! Highly recommend this spot for your pup. You get to bring your dog in for a free trial day to make sure it's a good fit for your pup. The entire process made me feel very comfortable to bring our dog here. They have cameras so you can check on your dogs throughout the day. Anytime I check on my dog she's always having a great time. I also noticed that they do a great job of cleaning every day as well. The staff always checks in and sends us an update which makes us feel better as well. This place is worth every penny!

Nicole L.

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!

In the past eight years, a lot has changed, but much has stayed the same including the fact that this luxury pet resort is super trustworthy, professional, and a fabulous option for your pets to have a vacation while you do the same! Some of the selling factors as listed on their website include: -24/7 security and fire protection. Air Conditioning and monitoring. -Special flooring for comfort and cleanliness. -Playground equipment and play pool with artificial grass and canopies for shade. -Integrated HVAC system and monitoring to ensure safety in summer months. -Special epoxy flooring system with non-porous finish to keep pets cozy and protected from bacteria exposure. -Park style landscape features playground equipment and a play pool. -TVs in the buildings play pet-friendly shows to provide comfort so that your pet feels right at home. -Shade canopies and misting systems so your pet can lounge leisurely with the intense Phoenix sun kept at bay. So it had been awhile since I'd utilized Jet Pet, but I remembered loving them previously and trusted them again while I was away in NYC for a wedding with my husband. I left my kids and my older dog, Georgia with my father in law for the weekend, but decided to treat Neymar, my 8 month old puppy, to a staycation at JPR. Based on the report card I received, the pictures that were posted, and how tired Neymar was when I picked him up five days later, he had an absolute blast! I swear - he was sad to leave when I drove him home! I'll definitely return for boarding... and perhaps even some doggy daycare too. Thanks to the fabulous staff at Jet Pet for taking good care of my pup!

Just writing this to let others know this place is very trustworthy and take care of your pup as if it's their own!

Way Past Due for a Review, But…read more... I've been taking my fur babies, Marty & Luci, to Smelly Dog for 7 + years and I've always had a pleasant experience. They have always had outstanding communication in answering calls, returning vm's, texting when ready for pickup after a groom. I like that they seem to be able to fit in my fur babies, sometimes on short notice. I will highlight my most recent experience in taking our newest addition, Lulu, for her second groom. Lulu had one previous groom here when she was 5 months old and this would be her second groom at 6 months old. We were unsure how she would react in coming in for the groom, since I know she wasn't easy on her first go around. But, to our delight she was wagging her little nub of a tail and excited, and I relieved. We weren't able to achieve a little top knot sitch for her on her first groom because she couldn't sit still enough. This was something I really hoped we could achieve on this 2nd groom. So, when Ty greeted us we went over length, face shape and a top knot, please! Ty was very warm, patient and most importantly calm cuz our little Lulu can so fidgety and high energy! We felt we left her in the best hands, but due to her high energy and degree of difficulty sometimes with being still, still unsure of what to expect. When I received a ready for pickup text notification, we headed over to pick up our lil fur baby. When she was brought out and we laid eyes on her, I was beyond happy to see Ty's work of art! She looked absolutely precious, top knot and all! We couldn't have been more grateful to all the staff, and it's reassuring that Lulu, telling us with her little nub, feels the same

These scabs came from those tags being cut and after a few days trying to heal. The same pictures I submitted to animal cruelty. Beware of the lack of accountability and genuineness of the owner.

How would they know what to do if they had never been to my apartment before? Randy (the owner) came to my apartment before the first visit and took copious notes about what to do. He asked that I buy a lock box on Amazon and place it somewhere in the garage of my building with my keys inside for the pet sitter. I'm used to giving my keys to my pet sitters, but this is actually pretty convenient because it means that I can get my key back right away when I come home. There have been a couple pet sitters who have been to my place, but Anna has been there the most. All of them post updates with photos that appear on the app that you can download on your smartphone (you also get an email copy of this as well). I feel like Anna has really gotten to know my kitty and I appreciate that she really seems to enjoy spending time with her. The other convenient thing about this pet sitter is that you can request the dates of your pet sits online and also you can pay for them with credit card afterwards.
