Our McKinney Team

Camp Bow Wow McKinney has been a true labor of love for Marshall and Tracey Eidson, who opened the Camp in June 2016 to bring together their lifelong love of dogs and their combined experience in business. Under their leadership, the Camp has grown into a trusted destination for top-quality doggy daycare, overnight boarding, and full-service grooming—all delivered with heart and professionalism.

Beyond providing exceptional care for pups, the Eidson's are passionate about creating meaningful job opportunities for their incredible team of dedicated Camp Counselors. They also take pride in giving back to the community by partnering with local veterinarians and rescue organizations, often donating services to support dogs in foster care.

Though they currently reside in Temple, Texas, Marshall and Tracey remain deeply involved in Camp operations while balancing family life—raising their high school-aged daughter and caring for elderly relatives in Central Texas. Their beloved 8-pound rescue pup, Nutmeg—a spirited mix of Yorkie, Lhasa Apso, and Poodle—keeps things lively at home.

In addition to running Camp Bow Wow McKinney, the Eidson's also manage a portfolio of short-term rental properties across the country, from the lakes of Maine to the beaches of Florida and Alabama.

For the past eight years, Juli Dykes has been an integral part of the Camp Bow Wow McKinney family. Starting as a Camp Counselor, Juli’s dedication, leadership, and passion for dogs quickly elevated her into a management role, and she now serves as our exceptional Camp Director.

Juli leads with integrity, energy, and heart. There’s not a single job at Camp she hasn’t done, and her hands-on approach inspires the entire team. Her deep commitment to our Campers and their pet parents shines through in everything she does. Juli has earned the admiration and respect of our staff—and the trust of countless families—because she ensures every pup is cared for in a safe, clean, and loving environment.

Juli’s strong leadership skills were shaped during her distinguished service in the U.S. Army from 1988 to 2002. During her military career, she was stationed across the U.S., in Germany, Bosnia, and at NATO Headquarters in Brussels. While in Brussels, she served as a personal security officer to the U.S. Military Representative to NATO, providing protection to the General and his family.

We are deeply honored to have Juli as the cornerstone of our leadership team and forever grateful for her service to our country—and to every pup that walks through our doors.
