The BEST and will not take my dog anywhere else. He's been going to Day Care since he was 13 months and now he's almost 3. Pretty sure for a little guy, he thinks he runs the place

UPDATE: The dogs I previously boarded here are now long gone. My newest dog, a rescue with some socialization issues, recently boarded here for 3 days and was groomed, and she came back clean and happy. Her previous boarding experience at a different place left her stressed out with a UTI. The staff listened to me about her issues and tried her out in a play yard with some other calm dogs, and she actually tolerated them.

She did so well I decided to bring her back for occasional daycare. This place is clean and their staff is awesome. ______\\\\\\______\\\\\_____\\\\\_____ I have boarded my two large dogs here on several occasions, and never experienced anything less than first class service. They even gave my dogs a larger room at no extra charge one time, because it was a week when they were not busy. The dogs always came back healthy and happy, with no issues at all. I would not hesitate to recommend this facility. Not cheap, but really nice.

Our dog Molly loves Dog Camp! She gets to play with other dogs multiple times a day which is great for her since she is so active. I can relax while we are away knowing she is in good hands. Thanks Dog Camp!

This was my first time to take my Berniedoodle. And, I blew it and showed up a day early. Yet, they still accommodated me! They did everything I asked for and Tucker looks great!

If zero stars were an option, that is what I would give. The second time we took our Great Pyrenees in for a grooming, they shaved him without even calling us before hand! Their website says professional and gentle grooming. He did not get gently groomed, he got shaved, and if they were professionals, they would know that Great Pyrenees should never be shaved!

They said he was too hard to brush through, but that is literally their job! Take your time, or call me and tell me you can't, but don't shave my dog when that is not what I asked for without my consent. To top it off, it wasn't even a decent shave - Super patchy - our dog looks crazy! My kids all cried when they saw him. I'm still in disbelief.

We never got to speak to the groomer although we requested it. We only talked to the assistant and the owner and both just defended the groomer. We finally got our money back, but then they asked if we'd like to reschedule for routine grooming. Um, never! Plus, it will be 6 months before our dog even has hair again.

I cannot express enough how wonderful this place has been for our two dogs. I've been putting our dogs in their care for over 5 years. We have used their doggie day care, boarding, and grooming services. The staff is always polite. My standard poodle is a rescue, and very shy and timid; yet she LOVES coming here. I highly recommend Dog Camp!

We were amazed by the quality of the facility and care at Dog Camp! If we travel with our dog to the Hill Country again, we would board him there without thinking about it.

They did a great job grooming my wheaten terrier for her summer cut. She was about 9 months old when I took her, and she'd only been groomed one other time. She freaked out at the other place because the noises of the razor scared her. They handled her wonderfully. She had a ton of mats in her fur, so they shaved her but kept her tail and face looking like her breed which I liked. Definitely recommend them!

Review for Grooming Only (I haven't used this place for boarding so I can't comment there) Took my two Australian shepherds for grooming and they did a great job on both, trimmed up perfectly per our conversation. Will definitely use them again!

10 stars. I'm a freak about my dog. They had her for 10 days. Sent videos and pictures daily. Awesome staff. Very clean facilities! Don't hesitate!

Have been happy with the place after several visits. Did notice some other dog's hair in the kennel when my dog arrived, even though they are supposed to clean and disinfect between dogs, so they need to stay on top of that. Have to admit I almost gave four stars instead of five because of this, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Will check the kennel closely again the next time we board there. I should have said something this time around, but I didn't. Would love it if they would install webcams in the play yards, so I could check in on my dog and assuage my guilt for boarding her.

I came down here to check it out and the facilities are top notch. I got a chance to ha g out for a little bit and interact with the staff. They are all more than capable of taking care of your furry friends. You could also tell they have an awesome workplace environment there! Knowing my dog is at a peaceful place makes me rest easier when I have to leave him with someone else.

My dog Fritz went here for about 5 days and came back very happy. I've boarded him at 3 other places and he always came back a few pounds skinnier, not eating his food, and acting sad. He loved this place and came back happy, full of energy, and not a single pound lost. The staff was very helpful and friendly far beyond any other boarding facility. I highly recommend this place and will continue using them from now on. This is a place I can leave my dog and know he's in the best care.

I highly recommend Dog Camp! My dogs are spoiled and stay in the luxury suite (my husband rolls his eyes every time I say that haha) but they're 85 and 115lbs respectively so they need a little more space than the average pup. Not only is the staff extremely friendly but my dogs are given their medications, fed, groomed, and allowed ample time outside to play with other dogs.

When I come to pick them up (although it breaks my heart) they really couldn't care less that they haven't seen me in a few days and are actually disappointed to leave haha! This is the fourth daycare that we've tried in the Austin area so we know what's around. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dogs in their care and truly recommend them any chance that I get.

Front desk staff was more than friendly, even offered me a cup of coffee during my wait. Groomer completely butchered my dogs hair. What she didn't completely whack she left straggly. To make things worse, the groomer didn't own up to the cut that had obviously gone more than wrong. She was by no means friendly either. AND to top it all off if it was about $10 more expensive than our usual groomer that closed shop. I was offered a discount for our next visit, but we won't be going back.

My pit/lab mix, Felix, and I love Dog Camp! For two years, I've boarded Felix at Dog Camp when I'm away, and he always comes home seeming relaxed and happy. The staff at Dog Camp are friendly and seem very dog savvy. They don't discriminate against dogs based on breed, and have helped many rescue organizations find families for homeless pups. Felix gives dog camp five enthusiastic stars!

This past weekend was our first experience boarding our dog. We were VERY nervous and sad to leave him behind. The staff at Dog Camp were absolutely incredible. It was so comforting knowing that my dog was getting tons of play time, lots of attention, and a wonderful facility to sleep in. We got to bring his own bed and toys to make him feel at home in his suite.

While on vacation I received pictures, and videos of my big guy playing and having fun. I was so happy. I highly recommend using Dog Camp for your K-9 companion. I am one of those crazy dog parents and I literally could not be happier with the treatment our dog received. Thank you a million times Dog Camp! We will be back!

LOVE everyone at dog camp, and so does my Dexter boy. He was excited to see his Dad this morning after boarding for 5 days but didn't want to leave--he wanted to stay and play with his new friends! I cannot recommend this place enough. While we were away, I received text messages and video messaged of my doggie playing and snuggling, and it was so reassuring and sweet to know he was in great hands.

Do yourself a favor and don't look anywhere else! Dog Camp will take great care of your baby, I promise! T hanks so much to everyone there! Dexter misses you all already!

Highly recommend taking your dog here. Here's my list. 1. They will play w/ your dogs and keep them entertained. Dogs get exercise and don't have to sit in a cage all day. 2. The people who work there are ultra nice and willing to even stay a little longer if you're running late to pick up your dog. 3. I got my 2nd dog here because they let him stay there while they found him a home! 4. Helps your dog get socialized.

My dog use to hate going to the vet and now when we pick him up he's worn out from playing so much. 5. Only bad thing is that it's super far but I could never give this place 4 stars since they take such great care of my dogs.

Such a cute place with loving, caring people who run it. Dogs get access outside whenever they want and the place is clean and friendly. I'm so happy we found this place.

My dog won't be returning here ever again. While I was away for thanksgiving my pup stayed here. He only stayed for 4 nights, I paid a little extra to get him the "plush" suite, he's stayed at other kennels with absolutely no problem. As I returned from my trip. I went inside the facility to pick up my dog only to find that he was partitioned in the outside portion of his room because he had peed inside the previous night. Had he been stuck outside since last night?

It was below freezing that particular night. I know he's a dog, but come on I paid for a kennel for a reason. Not to mention. he's never EVER peed in the house, he sleeps through the night, and he's been left at home for long periods of time. still not one mishap. So how long had it been since he was taken out to go to the bathroom?

After all of this lovely information was shared, I took my dog outside. He sprinted to the grass and peed for literally 5 minutes. I've never seen him pee so much. I can only assume that he hadn't been taken out all day. Remember. he was still blocked outside, most likely no one on the day staff even knew he was kenneled there. For the next week he didn't act like himself, I took him to the vet but was told that nothing was wrong.

He would cry constantly. He would go out to go to the bathroom, come back inside and then sit and cry at the door. I'm sure he was terrified that he wouldn't get to go to the bathroom again for an ungodly amount of time. Think of those car trips where you have to pee and it's unbearable. like wetting your pants may be the better option. Imagine feeling like that for 2 days while being outside in the freezing cold on cold cement. Sounds like a day at the spa huh? He clearly will not be returning.

I have a special needs dog. No, she doesn't require special medications or apparatus, she is just a need needy little (big) bitch, and Dog Camp was her first real experience a) away from me and b) with other dogs she didn't already know. She was a pretty big puppy but terrified of other dogs and so it was with some trepidation that I checked her in at Dog Camp for a week long stay.

My fears were unfounded. The staff at Dog Camp took extra time with her and introduced her to older, calmer dogs first and once she got used to them, eventually moved her in to the general playgroup. By the time I got back from my trip, she was running around being everyoe's pain in the ass rather than trying to hide under the water trough. They offer services ranging from doggie daycare to full service grooming and extended stay kenneling.

There are two kinds of kennel services offered as well: the standard run with indoor/ and covered outdoor, with seperate runs for each dog inside the climate controlled building, and then the luxury suites, which my princess used that first time, with solid walls to dampen the noise from other dogs, a slightly bigger kennel size, and a big fluffy pillow dog bed. all they need is a tv glued to the cartoon network and my pup wouldn't have known she wasn't at home. :)
