Westlake Team
From the individualized care our canine-loving staff provides to playtime with other four-legged friends, your dog has never had this much fun! Our team understands the key elements to a happy pup and we find great joy in incorporating them into our daily activities. We believe every single one of our Campers deserves premier treatment, which is why you'll receive all of the great benefits of Camp at one upfront cost.

Stephanie OwnerAbout Me
I have always been a dog lover and have lived with a pack my entire adult life. So when the opportunity arose to build a Camp Bow Wow in Westlake, it was a perfect fit! I can bring my pups to work, be my own boss, and work with people who love dogs as much as I do. Before Camp, I worked in various positions, most recently as the Director of Human Resources in a small hospital system.
Fun Facts
What I love most about my job: I love our customers - both two and
four legged ! And I love the fact that I am in a position to help homeless dogs by fostering for the local rescues. But probably the most rewarding aspect of Camp is seeing a shy, under-socialized dog become an outgoing, happy camper!My pets: Four rescue dogs: Beaker, Colby, Peppi & Iris the Bloodhound
Camp Opened: March 2009
