Doggie Kamp Inc.

So first I want say that I really dislike giving any business, especially a local business a bad review. I’m doing so because I know how important it is for people to be able to Rely on the individual that commits to caring for pets while you are away. First, when I would call Barbara, she never answered the phone. I always had to leave a message and she would call back maybe a day or two later we would talk on the phone for a while and she would tell me that she was in the middle of a renovation and that’s why she does not answer her phone and that’s why it takes her a while to get back to me. I gave her the benefit of a doubt and I still had plenty of time before I was going out of town so I didn’t feel rushed to meet her. Finally, after several conversations on the phone ( I have a hi

Barb was amazing and she really knows animals! We did a meet and greet prior to leaving our 2 small dogs. I felt so comforted knowing that my dogs would get to sleep in her bed like they do at home. I will definitely use her again. Wait until you see the amazing space your pet will get to play in her fenced in yard!!

Doggie Kamp was by far the best boarding experience my German Shepherd has ever had. She had always gotten so stressed at other places and did not want to be dropped off. But she LOVED Doggie Kamp and Barbara! She was actually excited to go there. We used Doggie Kamp several times, once for a long-period boarding, and each time returned to find our dog happy and in good health. What I love: that Barbara is so familiar with dogs and runs it all personally, the dogs are not locked in a warehouse-type kennel setting but are in a home, that there is huge outdoor running and playing space for the dogs. Even though it's a bit out of the way Doggie Kamp was just what our dog needed and we felt comfortable leaving her in such good hands.

We met with Barbara yesterday so we could see if our dog would be compatible with her home. I was honestly shocked at how well things went! I rescued a Great Dane about 5 weeks ago, and she has been known to be very scared around humans, and I was worried how she would respond to a new environment. She immediately made herself at home in the beautiful yard, started initiating play with the other dogs, and was the first dog in the house when Barbara called them all inside. I can't wait for our girl to get to play with her new friends when we're away from home!

My Labrador Retriever has been boarding with Doggie Kamp since he was a puppy and he is over 12 years old now. He is extremely spoiled because he goes to the office with me, so I could never leave him in a kennel where he was locked up all day. He loves his auntie Barbara and he enjoys socializing with the other dogs. I don't feel guilty when I travel because I know he is enjoying himself, roaming around in the big yard with the other dogs and snuggling with Barbara. Because I travel a lot, there have been times when he was recovering from a surgery or illness, and I had great confidence in Barbara's ability to follow dosing schedules or other veterinarian orders and to contact my vet if there are concerns. Now my dog is older and he is on multiple medications. Again, I trust Barbara
