Camp Bow Wow Is Absolutely Amazing!
Camp Bow Wow is absolutely amazing! Our dog gets excited as soon as we pull up to the parking lot and is greeted like a king each time. The workers are friendly (to humans and animals alike) and are efficient when check-in/out is busy. Wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who has a pup that loves to spend the day chasing other dogs.
Whitney Welsh

She’s Always Very Excited to Go to Daycare
Our girl Filly has been going here periodically since she was 1. So we have had 2 years of successful day care and overnight boarding. We have only had minor issues with food on her overnights. She’s always very excited to go to daycare and see her friends. The word “daycare” and “friends” is off limit in our house unless she’s going that day because she loses her mind in excitement. She knows exactly what we are talking about, and she gets wiggle butt and whimpers of excitement as soon as we turn onto the road. Staff is always helpful and friendly.

This Is a Great Place to Bring Your Dog
This is a great place to bring your dog at a good price. The staff is very attentive and always willing to work with you to make sure your dog has a safe place to play while you work or go on vacation. Would recommend it to anybody who is looking!
Ryan Luce
There Are Not Enough Positive Things to Say
Mowgli was so excited for his first day at camp. The staff welcomed him with open arms and lots of hugs and love! There are not enough positive things to say about Camp Bow Wow. They care about every dog as if they were their own pet. It's a love-fest!
Cindy Rague
Welcoming and caring staff
Welcoming and caring staff, and always reliable. I love the video feed, and the ease, and consistency!
Kathleen Dearing
Our Two Little Dogs Get All Excited
We are new to the area, and went on plenty of kennel tours for boarding, and occasional day care. We chose Camp Bow Wow because of the atmosphere and set up. The first visit was free, they do an evaluation, and your dog gets to stay for the day and play with the other pets. They are very transparent about letting you tour their facilities. They have cameras in every area, so you can virtually visit your dog during the day. Their app works very well. The people at Camp Bow Wow are very nice and accommodating. We have only taken the dogs twice so far, as we only joined last week. Our two little dogs know what the word "Camp Bow Wow" means even though they have only been twice. They get all excited and run for the garage door! It seems like a well thought out plan for a kennel!

Always happy with the care and attention
We’ve used Camp Bow Wow for many years and have always been happy with the care and attention our dog receives.
Amanda Benak
The dogs are absolutely thrilled to be there.
Best testament is that my two dogs cannot get in the door fast enough each time we come to Camp Bow Wow. The staff know them by name even though we aren't there all that much and are happy to see them—and the dogs are absolutely thrilled to be there. The staff is kind, helpful, and cares about all the dogs. I made sure there was individual time with staff to provide some extra loving to our dogs when boarding, and they come home tired and happy always.
Julie Sullivan
Easily the best at what they do
Camp Bow Wow is a model for what dog boarding should be. I cannot think of anything that I would complain about and they are kind, professional, and go above and beyond for my pup. So much so that when I brought him home, he gave me the silent treatment because he had such a good time there! Easily the best at what they do in the Portland area and highly recommended.❤️🐕

Nala Highly Recommends Camp Bow Wow
Nala has been going to Camp Bow Wow for the last nine months and loves it. The staff is very attentive and told me of any issues she may have had, like a bloodshot eye. They greet her by name and with enthusiasm each time. I also love checking in to watch her interact with the other pups and staff via the webcam. Nala and I highly recommend Camp Bow Wow Portland.
MaryEllen Joseph
Camp Bow Wow Portland is the best.
Camp Bow Wow Portland is the best. My dog has been going here for daycare and boarding for almost 5 years, and they are so great to him. He loves it. The staff is fantastic. The facility is clean. They are excellent communicators in terms of my dog's needs and/or any issues that come up. I use Camp Bow Wow both for daycare and boarding. I can't say enough good things about the team at Camp Bow Wow Portland or the services they provide.
Jon Sellman
Excellent Staff
Fantastic location with an excellent staff. Miss Ella loves her furry friends and they are amazing caretakers who treat her wonderfully.
Richie Axelsen
Employees Clearly LOVE Dogs!
I found this from my experience with the same franchise in Florida 5 minutes from my house. This location is farther for me to drive and much larger, but well-staffed and same setup, so my dogs felt at home from first visit. I know the national standards will apply, so I feel the dogs are safe, and the employees clearly LOVE dogs!
Michele Matto
Friendly and responsible staff
Great place to drop off the furry family if you are headed out to a non-dog-friendly beach or camp visit for the day! Our dogs had a great time at this location with friendly and responsible staff that love dogs. Your dog can get a spa day while you are at the spa as well! Have fun in Maine and let your dog get some fun time in too!
Ann Lindstrom
They treat these dogs like their own
Been with them since 2018. Staff over the years have been amazing and loving towards my dogs, especially when one of them got sick with a heart condition. They supported me throughout the process and helped make her comfortable from time to time. When we put her down, they wrote us (both the staff members and the owners). I honestly cried because it was an amazing gesture. They treat these dogs like they are their own. I love that they are caring and loving!
