Camp Bow Wow vs. App-Based Pet Sitting

When choosing daycare or boarding for your dog, you want to ensure they are in the best hands possible. That's why Camp Bow Wow® stands out as the premier choice for dog boarding and day care services. Camp Bow Wow offers many benefits and prioritizes dog safety and well-being for your furry friend. At Camp, we strive to create an enjoyable, stress-free, and supervised play environment for your pup.

At Camp Bow Wow, our staff, who are CPR and First Aid certified and trained in dog body language, are dedicated to providing top-notch care for your fur baby. This means that your dog will be in good hands, with staff members who are knowledgeable about dog behavior and health. This is not a guarantee when using app-based pet sitting.

Our services provide a safe place for dogs to play and interact with other dogs under supervision. This can help improve your pup's social skills and overall well-being. Using app-based pet sitting may not give your dog as much socialization and interaction, which could lead to boredom and loneliness.

Furthermore, Camp Bow Wow has strict pet safety protocols in place to ensure that all dogs are well taken care of during their stay. This includes regular pet health checks, vaccination requirements, and a clean and sanitized facility. With app-based pet sitting, there may be less oversight and regulation, which could potentially put your pup at risk if the pet sitter’s home isn’t puppy-proofed and if the other dogs in their care aren’t fully vetted.

Unmatched Transparency

At Camp Bow Wow, we understand that leaving your dog behind can be tough. That's why we offer live webcams, providing you with a virtual window into your pup's stay. With our live webcams, you can check in on your dog, giving you peace of mind and reassurance.

Safe and Comfortable Environment

We prioritize the safety and comfort of every dog in our care. At Camp, staff separate dogs by size to ensure a harmonious environment. This separation allows for tailored playtime and interaction, promoting positive social connections and reducing the risk.

The Camper Interview

Before any dog joins our pack, we conduct behavioral evaluations called The Camper Interview. The Camper Interview process ensures every dog is a good fit for an open play environment. This helps to create a positive and safe experience for all involved. Our commitment to thorough evaluations sets us apart and ensures a harmonious and enjoyable environment for every pup. A behavioral assessment on the interview day isn’t a standard or required process with app-based pet sitters.

Trained Staff for Your Pup's Well-being

Our Camp Counselors and staff undergo training in dog CPR and First Aid to handle any emergency situations that may occur. We prioritize the well-being and safety of your pup, and our trained staff reflects that commitment. This isn’t a requirement for the average pet sitter.

Optimized Facilities for Wellness and Fun

We designed our facilities, including dog cabins, with your dog's wellness and enjoyment in mind. Our locations are pup-proofed and optimized for a safe and engaging experience. Our facilities have lots of space for playing and comfortable dog Cabins for resting. This creates the perfect environment for your dog to be happy and healthy.

While crates or traditional kennels are a fine option at home, we know our Cabins are the safer and more comfortable option for boarding pups. Cabins are more secure and in a separate area away from the play yards so it truly is a space for dogs to decompress after a day of play. Our Cabins also provide the extra space for pups to have some of their own bedding or toys with them, allowing for the familiarity from home while boarding.

Daily Routines

At Camp, we have daily schedules to make sure your dog has a fun day with friends, mental stimulation, and rest. The consistency in routine is good for dogs!

Transparent Pricing and Additional Services

Our all-inclusive pricing ensures you know exactly what you're paying for with no hidden fees. Additionally, we offer pet grooming and enrichment service add-ons, making Camp Bow Wow a one-stop-shop for all your pet care needs.

Benefits of Socialization at Camp Bow Wow

Regular socialization at Camp Bow Wow offers numerous benefits for your dog. It helps pups feel more confident by introducing them to new places, noises, and situations in a safe way.

This experience helps them feel more confident in new situations and it can help them feel more comfortable when meeting other dogs or people. Well-socialized dogs tend to be less stressed and reactive, making them easier to manage in public settings. Our staff pay attention to the dogs' body language to ensure playtime is enjoyable for all.

Finding the Right Fit

Not all pet sitters can provide the full scope of care needed for a dog's overall wellness and safety compared to a facility like Camp Bow Wow. Pet parents may not find the level of care they are seeking through app-based pet sitting and some pet sitters may not have the necessary qualifications or experience.

Pet parents should research and choose pet care that meets their dog's needs and has attentive staff. This is crucial when reducing stress levels for your dog while you are away. Camp Bow Wow isn't just here for boarding, we also offer daycare and grooming too to keep your dog socialized, clean, and exercised.
