Porter had a great time at Camp Bow Wow
Porter had a great time at Camp Bow Wow. It looked like he enjoyed the company of his new friends. We have previously boarded another dog with them, and it was a great experience.
Mike Winker
Camp Bow Wow Is a Godsend!
Camp Bow Wow is a Godsend! My Sheltie is well cared for and the staff is always professional and friendly. I totally appreciate all the work they do to keep our fur babies safe 🙏🐶
Joyce Peterson
Mallard is one lucky duck, I mean dog
Mallard is one lucky duck, I mean dog, to be a part of Camp Bow Wow. Her parents are always comforted by how she is greeted each visit and appreciate the communication when needed. Mallard has had medical needs, and Camp has been very accommodating and understanding through the continued journey. We can’t say the “c” word (camp) unless it’s happening because she immediately gets ready for her collar switch. Mallard’s whole family, especially the cats, are grateful for her positive camp experiences. We can’t say thank you enough!
Mariah Weisman
Always Kind to Kali
These folks are always kind to Kali and she is well treated in all respects. The pricing is fair, the facility is clean, and the outdoor play areas are well supervised.
David Christensen
Highly recommend!
It’s so refreshing to go to a place where the staff are friendly; our dog is excited to go in; and we can see him wagging his tail the whole time he’s there via the webcams. Highly recommend!
Laurie Mack
It is so nice to see how excited our Berner gets
It is so nice to see how excited our Berner, Harvey, gets when we get near the building. Although he can be a little shy, the staff at Bow Wow helped him get comfortable starting on day one. There always seems to be someone on staff keeping an eye on groups, and being able to watch him on the live feed is a bonus. It provides peace of mind to see he is always wagging his tail while he’s there.
Laurie M
The staff are very helpful and nice
The staff are very helpful and nice. Unfortunately, my dog failed her interview; she’s just too shy. The staff were wonderful with her and did everything they could to help her feel safe and comfortable; she just didn’t want to leave her corner.
Lisa Libby
We love taking our dogs here!
We love taking our dogs here! The staff is so friendly and it’s great when we drop our dogs off at a place where the staff knows them by name the minute we walk in the doors. The place is always clean and organized. Definitely recommend.
Jessica Zickert
My dog Lukey loves going to Camp Bow Wow
My dog Lukey loves going to Camp Bow Wow and he loves everyone there! Everyone is so friendly, and I trust them fully with Lukey. I also like that you are able to watch the dogs on the camera they have, which puts ease to my mind. I have had them give him a bath as well, and they do a great job!
Tara O'Connor
Very Happy and Tired Pup
Brought our puppy in for his first daycare experience and he did very well. We were well informed on the process and they helped him acclimate to the environment. He was a very happy and tired pup at the end of the day. Loved the webcam feature so we could check in and the space is very cute.
Caroline Mitchell
The staff is so lovely
Went in for our interview today and the staff is so lovely and the facilities are super clean. Our puppy loved his time there and we loved that we could check in periodically through the webcams!
Emma Sweeney
We've been so happy with Camp Bow Wow
We've been so happy with Camp Bow Wow for our Great Pyr when we're in town for a few weeks over the summers. The hours are great, the staff is friendly, and I can tell they genuinely love dogs/my dog. Our pup tends to be anxious in some situations and she is so excited when we pull up to CBW every time and doesn't even look back! Thank you for allowing our dog some fun socialization and care while we enjoy the (rare) non-dog friendly activities around the Portland area!
Lindsay Anderson
Rufus loved daycare at Camp Bow Wow Portland
Rufus loved daycare at Camp Bow Wow Portland. He made so many new friends, four- and two-legged. When he came home, he zonked out for the rest of the evening. CBW Portland staff are very friendly, and the facility is very clean. Price is a little higher than what we pay at home but worth it.
John & Young S
Everyone was friendly
Everyone was friendly and explained how to watch Looney on her first day there.
Beth Darman
We love Camp Bow Wow
We love Camp Bow Wow. It’s been a few months and I booked daycare because we had plans out of town. The same folks were there and actually said, “Welcome back! We’ve missed the pups.” That 1 statement meant so much to me.
Diane Gallant
We wholeheartedly recommend Camp Bow Wow
One of our dogs started going to Camp Bow Wow back in 2019. From the very beginning, he was surrounded by so much love and care, and it meant the world to us. While many of the newer counselors didn’t get the chance to know him, those who did will probably remember his sweet, stubborn spirit—especially how his favorite place was under the bridge outside. Rain, snow, or shine, once he found his spot, he was content and at peace, and we always felt comforted knowing he was exactly where he wanted to be. Now our new pup, Miss Lady, couldn’t be more different, and she has brought her own special kind of joy to camp. She loves to howl like a little wolf, curl up in her cozy room, and take her time making her grand entrance. Sometimes it takes her 20 minutes just to walk through the door, but the moment she sees her favorite people—the counselors who greet her with so much warmth—her whole face lights up, and she becomes the happiest girl. The LiDrazzah family is truly grateful for everything you do and for the genuine love you’ve shown both of our fur babies over the years. It brings us so much peace of mind to know they are cared for by people who treat them not just as pets, but as family. Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and the endless love you give to Lady and every dog who walks through your doors. We appreciate each and every one of you more than words can express, and we wholeheartedly recommend Camp Bow Wow to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and truly special place for their dog.

The love and attention they give him
Marvin has been going to Camp Bow Wow since he was a puppy, and the staff have loved him from day one. Every morning when we arrive, the team greets him with so much excitement it’s like he has celebrity status! The love and attention they give him make it clear how much they genuinely care about every dog. Marvin gets so excited every single day when he knows he’s going to Camp Bow Wow. As any dog parent knows, our pets are family, and Marvin is my child. Trusting someone else to care for him is a big deal, but I have complete confidence in the staff. Knowing he’s safe, happy, and surrounded by people who truly love him gives me incredible peace of mind. Thank you to the entire Camp Bow Wow team for treating Marvin like one of your own. We appreciate everything you do!

Camp Bow Wow will forever have a special place in our hearts
Camp Bow Wow will forever have a special place in our hearts. My little shy boy Tikaani started daycare there. He’s always been hesitant towards people but loves other dogs. He gets so excited in the mornings to go; before we can even fully wake up, he’s ready to hit the door. When we get there, he barely can wait to get out of the car and runs in, tail wagging, right up to give kisses and loves! It melts my heart so much seeing him love the staff members, especially being the shy boy he is. We went on vacation without him for the first time in May, and he boarded there. I only had to call once to check in because I knew he was in the best hands! Absolutely heartwarming how much care and love the staff members here have for the pups!
Kasey Shaw

Camp Bow Wow Is the Go-To Spa
Camp Bow Wow is the “go to spa” for our Corgi! The staff is amazing and take great care of him, and we can travel without worrying (and we can take a peek on the Camper Cams!). They recently took him for an overnight that came up unexpectedly, and it was much too hot to travel with him. We knew he would be safe and sound at the spa!! Thank you guys!!
Tracy Littlefield
Highly recommend!
I visit Maine every summer for a week and bring my dog to Camp Bow Wow in Portland for a few of the days, and they are always so welcoming and happy to see Georgia! Pick up and drop off is always easy. Highly recommend!
