Our almost 6yr old rescue always loves coming to Camp Bow Wow in Westminster for a play day. He used to struggle with separation anxiety when he was dropped off, but now he can't wait to go play with his friends when we bring him there.

When we came to do a meet and greet, the staff was very nice and they explained the process of introducing my dog to the rest of the doggies! During my wedding week we had to pick up and drop off my dog multiple times through the day since my dog was also part of my wedding! The staff was so flexible and my dog appeared to have such a grand time!! I love that I can also watch my dog at any time via the app!

We have been using Camp Bow Bow for occasional daycare visits and boarding for a few months now. The staff is so friendly and clearly loves dogs. We check in using their video feed sometimes to see how our dog is behaving. Our puppy is so excited to go and have a playtime. My favorite thing is the ability to use the daycare occasionally when need arises. Our young grandkids are getting used to our excited pup and when we’re keeping a sick grandkid, it’s nice to be able to drop the dog off for the day. We never used a daycare before but it’s so convenient and puppy loves it.

I know it’s highly rated I just didn’t love my experience. I brought my dog to daycare a handful of times and I noticed they kept rotating her out to be crated. My dog has never been crate trained and she tolerates it during grooming, but not for hours at a time. First day, I noticed her not on the playground so I called and asked if she was ok. They told me since they had over 15 dogs, they rotated them out to keep the staff to dog ratio reasonable. Fine. The next time I brought her, I noticed she wasn’t on the yard again. There were less than 15 dogs. It was 11:15 and at 12 they put them away for break. She remained there until I picked her up at 2:30. I can leave her at home where she has free rein. I pay for her to socialize. I asked if there were any issues and they said no, so I’m very confused why they kept her crated for so long. I bought a package and didn’t even use the rest of it. Switched to rover.

Paige Kathryn7 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Paige has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Switching to Camp Bow Wow has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for Poesey.
At her previous daycare, there were multiple times we would check the cameras and watch her walk up to staff asking for attention, only to be passed over while other dogs were being pet. The daycare itself wasn’t bad, but as her people, that was really hard to watch. Poesey isn’t the most social dog when it comes to other dogs. She’s much more of a “hang out with the humans” kind of girl. So those little moments of connection matter for her.
That has been one of the biggest differences we’ve noticed at Camp Bow Wow. When we check the cameras, we see people noticing her. We see her getting pets, seeking out staff, and actually receiving that affection in return. And maybe most importantly, we can see the difference in her. She comes home happy and content, and we feel good about where she spent her day.
We don’t use daycare constantly. It’s something we use periodically when Poesey could use some extra stimulation or when we need her out of the house while work is being done. But every time we leave her, we’re trusting someone else with a member of our family. Poesey is our baby, and that trust is a really big deal to us.
Beyond the care itself, we love the enrichment options, camera access, daycare packages, and how easy the app and booking system are to use. But ultimately, those are bonuses. What matters most to us is knowing that when we leave Poesey there, she isn’t just being supervised..she’s being noticed, understood, and cared for.
That peace of mind is worth so much to us. Five stars, without hesitation. ❤️🐾

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review, Paige! We know how much Poesey means to your family, and it warms our hearts to hear that she feels noticed, loved, and cared for whenever she visits us. Building that trust and making sure every pup gets the individual love they need is what we strive for every day. Give Poesey some extra pets from all of us, and we look forward to seeing her next time!
