We've been bringing our two golden retrievers to Kamp Kanine since they were puppies, and they absolutely love it. Tyler and Hali are next level when it comes to care and communication. They send photos, pay close attention to each dog's needs, and always have them washed and ready right on time when we ask. I also really appreciate how thoughtfully they group the dogs to keep everyone happy and safe. I've tried other daycare centers, and none compare to Kamp Kanine. The drop-off and pick-up process is so easy, and I have complete peace of mind every time. M Rivera read more

Hi, I was a kamp client for over five years. I withstood the business closing without notice when they lost their lease, many waves of management changes and a nasty virus impacting two of my dogs. Recently, a manager raised concerns about one of my dogs who has always been "high octane" and when I engaged in a constructive conversation with the owner that included my own observations about unsafe drop off procedures, two of my dogs were disinvited from participating in camp anymore (including one kamp had never raised any concerns over). Really disappointing that Kamp would treat a loyal customer this way and after the owner, Gian, represented to me the business day before that he was committed to working towards solution. They've turned into one of those places that is interested in easy dogs and easy money, not longevity of a client base. Goodbye from a good client that paid $600 per month. read more

I can't say enough good things about Kamp Kanine! As an anxious pet owner, finding a safe and loving place for my dog, Kitsun, was so important to me. From day one, Halie and Tyler have gone above and beyond to make sure he's cared for like family. Kitsun absolutely lights up when we pull into the parking lot, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing he's spending his day with people who love him as much as I do. The reviews that first drew me here were spot on--Kamp Kanine truly is the best! read more

Kamp Kanine - Pet Sitting Near Me - Encinitas, California

Our little Chiweenie Bianca has been attending Kamp Kanine for over two years. She loves going there because she knows most of the dogs that are assigned to her area, and has made some BF's. A major positive is that if you need overnight boarding, they have several employees that will take your pup home with them (for a fee, obviously) and return them to KK the next day. All the folks that work there have major expertise with dogs , and it's obvious that they love them. Bianca gets so excited when she sees she is going to spend the day there! My only complaint is that they close at 6pm. I really wish that it was 7pm as I often work late so can't board her there on those days. read more

We have been taking our two dogs to Kamp Kanine for almost 5 years! If we had the luxury, they would go every.single.day. It is the highlight of their life. They understand when it's time to go to "school," as we call it, and they lose their minds! The hop in the car excitedly, with their heads out the sunroof, knowing that we're going to Kamp Kanine. Not only are they excited to go, but they also happily fall asleep on the ride home, after a long day of playing. Kamp Kanine has been great to us throughout the years. They send photo updates of our handsome boys. They are communicative and responsive if we need a last-minute bath or might be a couple of minutes late. It takes a Village for dogs and children- and Kamp Kanine is definitely part of ours. read more

You'll love Kamp Kanine if you want your dogs happy and well cared for!! Gian and Denelle, the owners take great care in making sure your dog/dogs are in a safe space to play and come home happy.

I highly recommend taking your dogs!!! read more

For two plus years, my Boston has been hanging out at Kamp Kanine. First, they vet every dog to make sure that there aren't any hidden issues. I feel totally secure and confident in the care she receives when she is there (almost every day). I also took advantage of attending the classes that they offer offsite periodically throughout the year. This has ensured that my little full of energy Boston is having the best time of her life each and every day that she visits there. The staff are awesome, knowledgeable, friendly, go above and beyond and are just a joy to interact with. If you are looking for a place for your dog to get some much needed socialization and mental health benefits, you won't find a better OUTDOOR facility!!! read more

My dog was bored and getting into mischief at home alone. Kamp Kanine changed his life and mine. He gets to socialize with other dogs along with lots of human attention from the caring staff. On the trip there to drop him off, he cry's with excitement and when he gets home it's nap time. I also love that he can get a bath, nail trim and ear cleaning! read more

We have been so happy with our dogs going here over the years. Our dogs know when we get close and are excited to get out and play.

Efficiently and professionally run, great facility, kind and responsive owners. Our dogs love it!

I would give Denelle and the entire Kamp Kanine team 1,000 stars if I could! Denelle is an incredibly knowledgeable, experienced dog trainer and a likable, very pleasant as well as smart, educated professional, who my rescue dogs have the pleasure of knowing since many years. We enjoy taking weekly rally obedience classes since 2016 at Kamp Kanine, had a lot of happy fun at agility in the colorful yard, and also took private lessons. Denelle is the only person who can trim my dog's nails. I am so grateful to her, since we tried many groomers before. I take my dogs everywhere. Sometimes people are impressed how well they behave in public and ask, "Who trained your dogs?". "We go to Kamp Kanine", is always my answer. read more

Thank You, Thank You & Thank You Gian and Denelle stepped up big time for my dog Ryder and I yesterday. I was out of town and Ryder was on a group hike (not with KK) and got a stick stuck in the back of his mouth. Ryder has a serious resource guarding issue from his previous owners, So he was not going to let anyone try to remove it. Denelle and Gian came to the rescue. Gian showed up in the van and got Ryder to Veterinary Emergency Group in Encinitas so he could be sedated and they could remove the stick. Gian stuck around to make sure everything was going to be ok. Ryder and I have done several of Denelle's Doggie Socializing Classes and we are now doing E-Collar with her. She has help Ryder and I in so many ways and then they step up yesterday, when they didn't have to. I can not Thank you Gian and Denelle enough for all of your help. read more

We love Kamp Kanine! Such a professional and caring team. Pup comes home happy and tired from a day of play

Let me start by saying that this is a review based on responsiveness to customer emails and phone calls. My pup has not yet stayed at Kamp Kanine. I am very cautious about boarding my dog. That results in me asking a lot of questions both online and via phone messaging. To their great credit, Kamp Kanine was very quick to reply to all messages. They were exceptionally detailed in describing their operation and set up. And, they were willing to help me feel as comfortable as possible by enabling me to experience their kennel environment first hand. I sincerely appreciate the transparency they provided into day-to-day operations and set-up. I also highly value their openness and sensitivity. read more

This review is a long time coming...started taking Westley, our terrier mix ,at 6 mos. He is 6 yrs + now and starts howling when we turn onto Requeza and knows its Kamp Kanine day when we put on his camp collar. Kamp Kanine has definitely proved to be a positive influence on his behavior and social skills. We love all the Kamp Kanine team and appreciate the care they all take when watching all the pups. The KK team are always welcoming and friendly. We definitely recommend! Gerry and Pam (Westley's two legged parents!) read more

There is no place that my 13 year old dog loves more than Kamp Kanine. He has been a kamper since he had puppy classes staring at 3 months. Now he is deaf and all staff are aware and kind. I honestly believe that his puppy -like energy is kept alive by his variabLe life experiences ,the most important being play with other dogs Emily for "Olaf" read more

I brought my brother's dog here while I was dog sitting for the summer and he was a puppy, really learning how to play with other dogs and socialize. Everyone here was fantastic, and he's a Frenchie so he's a little bull, and they worked with him and ignited him back, being a puppy terror and all! read more

For years we have been bringing our pups to Kamp Kanine and we couldn't be happier with the excellent level of service and with the obvious happiness our dogs express the moment we enter the parking lot for drop off. At home they repeatedly stare at their camp collars waiting for the moment I give the cue that it's a day for Kamp - very funny to watch. We have referred family and friends and everyone has been very happy. Thank you Kamp Kanine! read more
