We Absolutely Love Camp Bow Wow!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We absolutely love Camp Bow Wow! The staff is always incredibly attentive to Shiloh’s needs, and you can genuinely tell they care about the dogs they look after. Every time Shiloh is there, we feel confident knowing he is in great hands. They don’t treat him like just another dog at daycare—they treat him like part of the family, and that means a lot to us. The team is friendly, caring, professional, and does a wonderful job creating an environment where we feel comfortable leaving Shiloh. If you’re looking for a doggie daycare where the staff truly cares about your pet, I highly recommend Camp Bow Wow! My only suggestion would be to consider offering a loyalty or discount program for long-term customers. For families who use daycare regularly and have been loyal customers for a long time, having a way to earn discounts, rewards, or reduced rates would be a great added benefit. Overall, we’ve had a wonderful experience with Camp Bow Wow, and most importantly, Shiloh is treated like family. That’s what keeps us coming back! 🐾❤️

We love Camp Bow Wow Tampa South Shore!
We love Camp Bow Wow Tampa South Shore! We have been taking our dog, Luke, for a few years now. I am always so impressed by how much every camp "counselor" or staff member cares about our boy. I feel comfortable and confident sending my dog to Camp Bow Wow whether for a boarding stay or for daycare. They take steps to make sure he is well taken care of, especially now after he had major orthopedic surgery last year. They are agreeable to watching out for him and offering extra breaks. In addition, they know that he gets very scared during thunderstorms. When we were recently out of town, there was a major storm and the counselors took it upon themselves to give extra human attention to Luke so that he was calm. It's so nice knowing that Luke has a great support system here.
Amanda Sanderson
Fabulous place for dog boarding
Fabulous place for dog boarding. Staff is always so kind, and you can really tell that they truly love animals. Also, so clean. Not "I just poured Clorox on the floor clean." I mean CLEAN!!!
Barbara Slead
The staff is amazing and they really do care
The staff is amazing and they really do care. My dogs get better care than my kids did at daycare. My pups are so happy when they go and they get all the physical and mental exercise so they are calm and happy when they come home.
Deborah Oliver
A home away from home
It’s a home away from home for my fur babies!
Monica Kane
She Just Walks Right In
I love taking my dog there because she just walks right in like another home.
Kim Kimball
Very professional and friendly staff
Very professional and friendly staff. They love dogs for sure! I've trusted them with my late dog and new puppy. I've been going there for well over a decade.
Nayana Boutsomsy
I Couldn't Think of a Better Place
I couldn’t think of a better place to put my two dogs!! I have been taking my dogs to Camp Bow Wow for a few years now!! When I leave, I know they are safe and cared for!! I now added a new member of my dog family and my Percy loves it there!! Thank you for being so caring and kind to my fur babies!! When I go away, I know they are safe and have the best care possible!!
Carol Reynolds
Employees are so nice
The employees are so nice and take such good care of our dog when boarding her.

My Dog or the Staff!
I don’t know who’s more excited when we go - my dog or the staff! We have used Camp Bow Wow for both daycare and boarding, and Luigi always comes home exhausted and happy.
Persephone Ackerman
Camp Bow Wow Was the Total Opposite
Bentley is a shy 7-month-old Goldendoodle and he tried a competitor daycare and was scared and isolated. Camp Bow Wow was the total opposite. We watched him on the webcam and he was happy and playing! We love the care he was given at Camp Bow Wow!
Vivian Bresnahan
I love Camp Bow Wow
I love Camp Bow Wow. Been using them for over 10 years. I always feel like my pup is well cared for. Katie is the best! She always helps me with my rescue pup, who is a little nervous.
Talia Dabbs
He played plenty throughout the day
Took my mini Aussie here for 7 days, he is a shy dog until a couple days in but he played plenty throughout the day. They have cameras so you can check up on your pet in the common areas, gave us peace of mind. Even days after picking him up, he is still recovering from all the fun he had.

Our Bodie Had a Wonderful Time
Our Bodie had a wonderful time at Camp Bow Wow! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and caring, and the camp is immaculate. They offer many services. We were very pleased.
Carol Marx
This Is the ONLY Place We Would Leave Our Boxer
This is the ONLY place we would leave our 4-year-old wild child Boxer. We use daycare and overnight services at least 4–5 days a month. The team is incredibly friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Even after moving further away from the camp and having other places nearby, we would not switch. Thank you, team, for all you do and for giving us the peace of mind when we are away from our baby!

Our Doberman Loves Southshore Camp Bow Wow
Our Doberman loves everything about Southshore Camp Bow Wow, which definitely has our family at ease when out of town.

Cassidy had a great time! The staff were great, and we will be back!
Greg Barnett
Camp Bow Wow Is an Excellent Place
Camp Bow Wow is an excellent place for your fur child when you are away. I like that they have indoor and outdoor play areas and are supervised during playtime. The play areas have webcams so I can check in on Maggie. Daycare is a great opportunity to socialize. Maggie is an only "child" and enjoys playing with other dogs.
Pat L
Camp Bow Wow Riverview is the best!
Camp Bow Wow Riverview is the best! Our pup is happy when we arrive! Katie and other staff treat him like family! The camp is clean and the staff know all habits of our pup! Camp Bow Wow is our pup’s second home!

More Excited for Daycare Than Home
I’ve tried daycares for my dog, but this is the first time he’s ever been more excited to be at daycare than at home with me 😂

I Couldn’t Have Asked for Better Care
I can’t say enough wonderful things about this camp! Betty and Archie were treated like royalty from the moment they arrived. The staff truly cared for my precious babies as if they were their own, and that gave me complete peace of mind. They came home happy, healthy, and clearly well loved. I couldn’t have asked for better care or a better experience. Thank you to the entire team for going above and beyond. I highly recommend this camp to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets!
Christina Greenwald
She Ran Into Camp, She Loves It
We have two very anxiety-ridden dogs. Since we just recently moved to FL, they've been a bit worse. Our Fanny girl doesn't like going anywhere; I feel like I'm exaggerating when I say she ran into camp, she loves it so much. From the first visit she was hooked!! She and Jamie can't wait to go to camp! The crew treat each of the animals like their own family. We can't say enough good things!
Melissa Scales
I love the Tampa South Shore location
I love the Tampa South Shore location. It is close to the house. The people are friendly and caring. My puppy Jade loves going to camp there.
Wendy D
We couldn't ask for a better place
If you ask Remington what his favorite day of the week is, the answer is definitely Saturday because it's Camp Bow Wow day! The second he realizes where we're going, he's ready to ditch us without a second thought. The staff are amazing and genuinely care about every dog that walks through the door. Remington always comes home happy, exhausted, and ready for a long nap after a full day of playing with his friends. Knowing he's having the best time makes it so much easier to leave him. We couldn't ask for a better place for our pup. Highly recommend Camp Bow Wow!
Meagan Pardo
My pup loves Camp
My pup loves Camp. I know she is in great hands when I drop her off. She has the best time there and makes beautiful crafts. She is always excited when we drive into the parking lot at camp.
Diane Nosbisch
Staff Is Professional
Took my pup there over the 4th of July holiday, he played and played. Staff is professional and treats my pup like their own. Highly recommend them.

Mr. Mikey Loves Camp Bow Wow
Mr. Mikey loves Camp Bow Wow. He comes home very tired after playing all day. We couldn't be happier with the great care and attention he receives from all the counselors and staff at Camp Bow Wow. The variety of enrichment sessions are so much fun for all the campers. Thank you!
Kelley
