Our dog goes to Camp Happy Paws for daycare a few days each week and she has a blast there! Tons of wide-open spaces to run and play with all her friends which are fully fenced so we know she's completely safe. Staff members are out playing with them and making sure they are having fun. There is a large indoor area where the dogs can come in to spend some downtime before they go back out to play. We LOVE Camp Happy Paws! read more

Thank you Becky and the whole team for saving us after a nightmare experience! We are back home visiting for the summer with our golden and we were set up with another boarder. When we got there we were horrified with the conditions and attitudes of the staff. In a panic we called around and found Camp Happy Paws! Becky and her team helped us in our last minute time of need and took care of our girl! We can not thank them enough. Camp Happy Paws is a doggy heaven with a team that truly cares and has thought of everything. I will be telling everyone and anyone to take their pup here. We are so relieved to have a trustworthy place to take Kida! Thank you!!! read more

I took my dog, Nando here for a few days while we were out of town. They were so accommodating. I appreciate that they had me bring Nando to see how he fit in with the other dogs, truly caring about the safety of both my Nando and the dogs at the camp. The staff is friendly and the place is very clean. If I lived closer I would have Nando go there for daycare on a regular basis. I will be calling them whenever we go out of town feeling safe that Nando is there. read more

Thanks so much Becky and the staff of Camp Happy Paws! Pictures/videos are posted on Instagram, so I got to see Molly and Tex having fun playing with the pack. They've been there for day camp and most recently a six-night boarding stay. They come home happy and tired. Totally recommend, if you love your dogs this is the place to take them. They are taken care of, just the way you would want them to be ..like family. read more

Boomer, our 7 yr old yellow lab, practically leaps out of the window as we enter the Camp Happy Paws parking lot. He can not wait to get inside and see his human and canine friends! Watching the daily Instagram videos of him playing outside made our vacation that much more relaxing because I saw his joyful expression, wagging tail and extra bounce in his step and we knew he was happy, safe, and loved. I wish I could vacation at Camp Happy Paws, but only pups are lucky enough to get to stay there. read more

Our family recently moved from Salt Lake City, Utah. (We now live in Bothell, WA) - Because we are new to the area, we wanted to make sure our dog was left at a place that is attentive, and takes good care of her. We looked at three different places. We wanted to choose a place close to our home. And we ultimately decided that Camp Happy Paws was the right place for our doggie! When you drive into Camp Happy Paws, you feel like you are taking your dog to a nice cabin in the woods. They have a lot of acreage where dogs can be social, while getting adequate exercise. You can bring your own dog food from home, and their daily price doesn't punch you in the wallet!! The people who work in the office, and with the dogs, are always friendly and professional. We have used them three times now - and we will continue to use them. Oh wow! I almost forgot the most important thing!! Our doggie LOVES it here!! read more

Camp Happy Paws has been a lifesaver for us. My dog has separation anxiety and severe anxiety if kenneled. At Camp Happy Paws rather than kenneling the dogs, they have several rooms in the dog house and dogs of similar temperate are put together for overnight slumber parties without kennels. To my relief and delight, my dog LOVED Camp Happy Paws. He came home tired and happy. Every time I took him back to camp he was ECSTATIC to be there! For the first 4 years we only used them for boarding, but since Covid my boy's been going there for daycare instead of his old daycare because Camp Happy Paws has a safer system with no direct contact or going indoors needed for drop-off and pick-up. And while my boy liked his old daycare, he is WAY more excited to arrive at Camp Happy Paws - every single time! Becky and Scott are the owners and the camp is on their property, with the dog house next to their own home. As such you often run into them not just when they're working but also as they go about their personal lives or when they're out working on their property. No matter what they are in the middle of they take the time greet us and are both always very professional, nice and friendly. They both treat my dog like he's super special and get massive butt-wiggling tail wags out of him. Becky most often is the person I've coordinated with for boarding stays there and she's always very attentive to all the special health concerns I have with my boy. She makes sure their staff is informed with everything. They've had different staff over the years we've gone there but everyone has been great with my boy (and with me). The camp itself is beautiful and clean. It truly looks like a camp with beautiful wood and log cabin-like structures, outdoor fireplace, five beautiful acres for the dogs to run and play in with plenty of shade. It's so nice I seriously wish I could take a vacation there! I highly recommend this place. Dogs don't lie and my dog loves this place more than any other place on earth! read more

We love Camp Happy Paws! Can't say enough positive things. I have an energetic but naughty 5-year old golden retriever. They are kind, compassionate and truly love all of the dogs. Miles was shy at first but now when we drive up he wags his tail & smiles & can't wait to play with his friends. Our dog absolutely loves Becky & Scott and all of the wonderful staff. He snuggles right up to them & can't wait to play. Dogs have an intuition for people & Miles is extra sensitive. He was going to be a medical assistant dog & has a good sense for people & loves visiting the camp. I am a medical professional and have high standards when it comes to my dog. I could not be more impressed & recommend this camp to everyone I get a chance to talk to. Miles used to go to Petsmart and they were nice but Miles would come home mopey, sad & smelling like urine. They had a very small play room with multiple big dogs & he hated it. He wanted to play outside! This camp is kennel free, 5 acres of fenced trails & attentive staff! He comes home exercised, smelling of the great outdoors & happy. Thank you for taking such good care of Miles. Check out their website, you can see how amazing it is. Well worth the drive for the wonderful care. read more

Camp Happy Paws - Pulling up to Camp Happy Paws...Miles is all smiles! - Pet Boarding Near Me - Bothell, Washington

Loved this place, my dog Arya came back home exhausted but super happy. She had a blast.

Camp Happy Paws is awesome. Mokona is a 2-year old english cream retriever. She's been going here for over a year and loves it. She spends the day here one or two days a week to socialize and overnight when I'm out of town. I have peace of mind that she's happy and being well cared for. My daughters, who are away at college, love watching the videos. I highly recommend this place. read more

This is a difficult review to write. We started taking our lab to CHP years ago. I looked a very long time to find a place to board him where he would have fun and where I felt the people would be caring and he would be safe. He seemed to really enjoy running free with the pack, and always came home tired, but happy. I felt CHP was a very safe and fun place for our lab to stay when we were traveling. When we had a major family crisis, Scott and Becky stepped in and took my dog, no questions asked, and it was good to know he was in a safe place while I dealt with this emergency. When I picked him up, he'd been bathed, and they'd even given me a discount on the price, for which I was grateful, as he was there for over a month. They were very kind and I will forever remember their thoughtfulness. After things settled down, we got another dog, a standard poodle, and brought them both back to CHP for a stay. I received a call a day or so later, that the poodle had been attacked by another dog, and severely bitten on her muzzle. They were able to see, by watching the video, that my dog had just been sitting alone when another dog, unprovoked, came up and attacked her. I was told this dog was sent home. When I picked her up, she had large scabs on her muzzle, which had been treated with ointment. She was left with several bad scars on her muzzle. I later learned that this dog who attacked mine, supposedly was part wolf and belonged to an employee who was no longer there. No dog who is part wolf should ever be in a setting such as CHP. The next visit, I got a phone call again, because my lab had part of his lower ear ripped off by another dog. They did take him to the vet, who put in two staples, and treated with topical antibiotic ointment. When I picked the dogs up, his ear was puffy and infected, and I had to take him to my vet, who stated the wound on the ear should have been sutured and repaired, and that my dog should have been placed on oral antibiotics. The infection cleared up with the oral medication, but he is still missing part of his ear. Becky did promptly reimburse me for this vet bill and was very concerned about my dog, calling to check up on him. However, the reality is when you put a very large group of dogs together in a large open setting like CHP, you run the risk of your dog being injured. And, if you read the reviews, you can see that other people have come home with injured dogs. It's just the nature of the setting and the nature of dog behavior. No one can watch all the dogs 24/7. It's impossible. While my lab especially loved the open setting and being able to play with other dogs, and I feel Becky & Scout really care about the animals, I just can't take my dogs back there and risk them getting injured again. I don't blame anyone for the ear attack especially; as stated, this stuff just happens. But, I can't risk a serious injury or another loss for our family. Our dogs are now boarded in a more traditional kennel situation; while not as fun for them, is at least keeping them safe. I can't say don't take your dogs there; it may be wonderful for you. But, it just no longer works for us, and I'm sad about that. read more

If I could give this establishment a star that's broken in half and the other half is shown being in a pile of dog shit, I would. Not only is the location inconvenient, but from the get-go, we've had nothing but troubling issues. Basically, to sum it up, the owners of a random puppy who attended here found a wound on its stomach that was infected. The owners, and whomever else, blame my dog because he was last seen playing with it. We left with no knowledge of this and Scott never said a single word to us about their interactions. My boyfriend receives a call FOUR DAYS LATER from Camp Happy Paws and the woman is saying that we're liable for paying for the puppy's vet visit, and if it's anything serious, we also have to pay for the medication and/or surgery if it requires it. He tells them that they do not have proof, therefore we're not paying for it. It boggles my mind because: a) My dog has never bit another dog in his life. b) Dog bites can be infected, but that is also why it is critical to have a dog treated *right* after a fight if there was a bite, even if it looks like it's not that bad, and even only a minor puncture. However, Scott, again, didn't say a single word to us. c) They called us FOUR DAYS AFTER we picked up our dog to tell us this. d) Again, no one had told us this information when we picked him up on Sunday morning; you'd think ***BITING ANOTHER DOG*** would cause a scene and therefore would tell us. Whoever reached us never called us back with details because the accusations weren't true. Not shocking. This is the best part, though: After picking my dog up from Camp Happy Paws, he's been noticeably less hungry and less energetic. Okay, fine, he was tired from daycare. That's to be expected, right? Wrong. He's still not eating and lethargic even a week after of daycare, and I start to get worried, because he's been more snappy towards us as well. I schedule a vet appointment to see what's up. It turns out that my dog actually has a spinal injury and requires medication, as well as suggesting x-rays to examine internal factors, along with seeing if he needs surgery. It's frightening to me because we haven't done any vigorous activity of ANY KIND to warrant a spinal injury since returning from the daycare. Not only have they not been giving us clear answers as to what exactly happened, but they're not returning or answering our calls. Thanks Camp Happy Paws for my dog's spinal injury and being incredibly unprofessional for the whole thing! I highly appreciate it. Truly, I do. read more

Tater has been going to the camp for over a year now, and he still sprints from the car to the door as if it was still the first day. The owners and staff are great & always very happy to see him. I would recommend Camp Happy Paws to all the furry friends out there. read more

We LOVE Camp Happy Paws! We have a very energetic, playful dog who really needs to get out and run and play and Camp Happy Paws is the perfect place for him to do it. They have 5 acres of open woods for the dogs to explore and they give them the freedom to run and play and explore safely. Our dog goes once a week for daycare, and stays there for boarding when we're out of town, and I would highly recommend them for both services. He always comes home happy and exhausted and I am completely confident that they are not only knowledgeable about dogs, but also that they really care about my dog and his well-being. Also, they're just really nice people. For example, Scott knows that I have a baby and when he sees my car pull in to drop my dog off for daycare, he always immediately comes outside to get him from my car so that I don't have to take the baby out of the carseat. And I truly mean every single time. That in itself is pretty compelling reason to give Camp Happy Paws a shot. They're responsible, they're trustworthy, they're flexible, and your dog will love them! read more

Our Labs have boarded with Camp Happy Paws for the last 8 years. Initial reason was the free-roaming - not a crate in sight. CHP are a small family-run business, not some cash obsessed corporation. They wanted to meet our dogs for a short stay before accepting a longer board - they only accept a modest number if dogs too. Our dogs are always thrilled to go there - excitedly racing over to the office. They roam freely across acreage by day. We know that our pack loves Scott & family - they always come home exhausted. We wholeheartedly recommend them. read more

My first impression of the physical Camp Happy Paws was very positive. The couple that runs the place live in a nice cabin, the yard is nice, the dogs look happy. And, our dog certainly was happy upon picking him up from Camp Happy Paws. He is very energetic, yet he slept for about two days once he got back home. My only negative thoughts about this place are in relation to the "spacey" business practices and poor communication relating to reservations. I called one morning, spoke with someone who said his wife was in the shower and she would call me back. She never called me. I then called two days later and she definitely seemed preoccupied and I didn't really feel like she was listening to what I had to say. This same behavior was noted when I picked our dog up. However, it's obvious they took good care of our dog, so I am willing to put this all aside and give it another try. They don't require proof of immunizations, but do require a recent fecal exam. Moreover, they want to meet your pup in person before your stay....so plan well in advance. read more

My wife and I travel quit a bit for work and searched for months for a dog care place we were comfortable leaving our dog at. Camp Happy Paws has been a blessing for us and our dog from the start. The facility itself will draw you in right away. Its a wonderful log cabin, on a great piece of land that is very well kept . If you take a tour you will see the dogs are not put in kennels, they have acres of woods to explore and the areas they sleep are very open, clean and comfortable. Pre-screening of dogs for their temperament and health is taken very seriously so you know the other dogs at the camp will be well behaved and are not carrying any health issues that your dog could catch. The service is outstanding. The couple that owns the place is all very warm and welcoming and you can tell they love the animals by the way your dog responds to them when they see them. Best of all is my dog's reaction when we take the turn up the road to Camp and he starts to bark, run back in forth and wag his tail. We all love our dogs and have a tough time leaving them at camp but with CHP its almost as if its a treat for them to stay there. I have a St. Bernard, that does not like the car so we have even dropped him off there when we take a day trip just because we know how much he likes it and how much great exercise and fun he will have. Believe me, I love my dog, sometimes to a level my wife thinks is over the top :) and Camp Happys Paws is the first place I felt comfortable leaving my dog. Great place and great price. 5 stars! read more

I've been taking my pup here since we adopted him at 6 months. He goes to day-camp 3 days a week, the pricing is very affordable, $20 a day, and they always work with me if I need to add a day, am running late or for a holiday weekend. A great alternative to a crate all our work day and very convenient to NE Bothell/Mill Creek. The grounds are ideal if your dog is social and likes to run and play and interact with other dogs. A family run business, who LOVE our dog as much as we do... even when he eats their dog beds. :( They always give feedback when asked as we're working on obedience training. My little one comes home exhausted and happy every day he's there. Highly recommend. read more

Ive been taking my 10 year old rescued cattle dog here twice a week for a few months and have been really happy. Sometimes my schedule isn't exact, and Becky and Scott are completely fine with me sometimes dropping her off at 8am and sometimes 10, which helps me out a lot. My pooch is also a bit nervous -- they've been great at making sure she gets alone time when things get too crazy outside or on the porch, and also letting her stay outside if she wants to. They certainly dont force any of the dogs to go in or out if they don't want to. Personally this is a big bonus for me -- I dont particularly like my dog to be pushed into an area or room that she's not really comfortable in. She was abused by her former owner and is afraid of certain breeds. Also, even though she's only there 2 days a week, I know they've actually spent time getting to know her personality. When the 4th of July was coming up, they mentioned that it might be hard for her that week with the noise (they live in a really rural area and anticipated a lot of fireworks going off around the camp). They've obviously spent time watching Lucy and realized that sharp noises really frighten her and asked if there was anything special I'd like them to do to help her out during this time. I thought that was great. Ive taken her to several places around the area with great results, and while all have their own unique attributes, this one is really comfortable for me and my dog. read more

Our dog came back with 4 puncture-like scars, one of which was so deep that our dog had to have surgery and 12 stitches on her shoulder. We also found out that the scars were rather old, and were left untreated until we picked her up. When we contacted the camp and the owner about this, we were informed that they had no idea what or when our dog was injured. They also told us that they were not responsible because of the contract we signed, and that things like this happened time to time. They did not appear to be concerned about how our dog was. We regret so deeply that we left our dog in a place where people didn't provide adequate care or medical attention for dogs. We were relieved we found the scars early enough so that our dog didn't have an infection. After this incident, we are never going back to this camp, and we want to let other people know of this incident. read more

Big Happy was our baby before we had kids, but since then he has slipped down the importance ladder. We still LOVE him, but we just don't have as much time for him. That's why I was SO excited to find Camp Happy Paws!! With lovable owners, large, fun, open rooms for the dogs and a gigantic play area I knew that this was the place for him! The owners were flexible with our needs, asked all sorts of questions about any special care for Big Happy and seemed to genuinely care for him. I didn't think twice when I left him there. All of my thoughts were confirmed when I picked him up. He obviously had an awesome time and he got an excellent report card. Thank you Camp Happy Paws for taking such good care of our favorite pooch. I can't wait to bring him back to you guys! read more

I have been taking my dog to Camp Happy Paws for a year and half now- since she was 6 months old. I don't have one complaint!!! I had gone for the initial visit and found the "camp" to be clean, organized and had acres of running space for the dogs... also, plenty of indoor areas as well for the dogs to dry off or rest time. I believe there are four or five dog rooms with beds, mats or separate kennels if needed. The couple that owns Camp Happy Paws are great - they live on site are friendly and organized. You can tell the both of them, as well as the staff, love dogs and their jobs. The best part of Camp Happy Paws is that my dog loves it and is sometimes hard to get her to go home. :) Once I do get her in the car she is sleeping before we get out of the driveway. Thank you for the great care you give her - we will be back soon. 5 ***** STARS!!!!! read more

Though I have given this place two stars I am not certain that is fair. If I were to judge everything on the surface, I would certainly give it a 4 or 5. However, I am going with my gut on this one and honestly the two star rating is two stars too many on the gut meter. When we dropped our two dogs off we were laughing at how happy they were and that they were going to love this place. So far so good! Shortly after we landed in Seattle I had a message that my dog was limping and that it had just started that morning. I gave permission to give my dog a pain meds and mentioned that we would be there in an hour or so to pick them up. Well....all the excitement and anticipation of picking up our dogs was soon replaced with uneasiness and concern. Our Chocolate is normally a nut...whenever she sees us she goes bonkers and charges toward us. Well, not this time...she walked out the door head down looking as though she hadn't seen the light of day for a week. Then my other dog comes hopping out on three legs, not looking good at all. Initially I didn't think much of the original call as my dog has had TPLO done to both knees. I just thought he was tired and a bit sore from running and playing all week. When he walked out limping, it was not what I expected at all. He cant put any pressure on his leg and in fact I am taking him to the vet today. There is an area of missing hair on the same knee and no explanation what so ever. "Perhaps he slept wrong", NOT, I know what that looks like.. In fact, just as we were leaving my wife gave him the pain meds- I told them an hour prior to go ahead and give them to him, why he hadn't I don't know. So, If everything is in fact as it seems I would have to say this is a wonderful place for dogs. However, the fact that my dogs looked scared and limped really makes it hard to ever foresee going back. I know that I can be over protective, but when you see those faces and your gut tells you "this isn't good" I cant recommend. read more

This place is fantastic. First of all, there are no kennels. Our dog is a very social dog & loves to play with other dogs. The one time we took him to a kennel, he whined the entire three nights as he wanted to be near the other dogs. Camp Happy Paws has it all. The dogs get to roam outside and play all day long. At night, the get to sleep near each other (kennel free!!) in a house. Our little guy was exhausted by the end of the weekend, which proved he had a great time. The owner is very nice and you can tell she truly cares about the dogs at her camp. Additionally, I appreciate that they post photos of your dog on facebook while they are there. I could not recommend this place more. It is slightly more expensive than some of the other kennels around, but it is totally worth it!! read more

We have used Camp Happy Paws several times this Summer and have been very happy with the care our golden retriever received. Friendly Becky and her husband have spent many years creating a beautiful physical space for boarding dogs adjacent to their home. There are are acres of fenced, wooded play space. The staff is attentive, friendly, relaxed, and caring. Of all the boarding places we have used over the years, this is our favorite, and worth the 40 minute drive from Seattle. Timely communication is the only minor problem we have had. Becky is aware of this concern and is working on ways to improve it. It is common to get a voice mail when you call. Becky is generally good about getting back to you within a half day. read more

We've taken our dog to camp happy paws since she was a puppy. Even though she is shy with strangers she was quick to make friends with the owners and now LOVES everyone there. When we arrive she can't wait to get out of the car and in to see her friends and play with the other dogs. We couldn't be happier with camp happy paws read more

I've been bringing my chocolate lab Molly to Camp Happy Paws since she was a very young pup. I travel a lot, mostly for business and mostly for a week and a half to two weeks at a time. Without CHP I would be worrying about Molly while I was away - she is so important to me. Because of Becky and Scott and the care they give the dogs there I know she is safe, happy, and having a great time. Molly doesn't like being in the car much and usually lays down the whole time I'm driving, but when we get within a half mile or so of CHP she sits up, looks around and starts to whine in anticipation. CHP is Molly's home away from home and I am so grateful to have found them! read more

I have a golden and have been taking her to CHP for the last 4yrs, she absolutely loves it there. Eager to see Scott every time and very happy when I pick her up. The facility is very clean and the play area is mostly dry(minimal mudd). They have always been mindful,observant, attentive and helpful when any concerns arrived. It is a family owned and run business. They have always returned my calls. My suggestion is to prepare your pet well in advance of boarding anywhere. I would definitely recommend CHP for day care and vacations. read more
