    Rocky Mark J.

    Kobe has been going here the past 5 years. I'm very concerned w/ this last visit. I always measure the food I place in the Ziploc Bag. I even write the instructions on the Bag, along w/ verifying what's written on Camp Bow Wow's feeding card. Instructions is 1 cup/meal 2 meals per day. He was dropped off Sat morning after breakfast He was picked up Monday Night after dinner He should have had a total of 5 meals for a total of 5 cups. I verified with CBW if he ate all his meals, and the feedback is yes. CBW also verified a total of 2 cups per day. The evidence is in the photo below. I measured it and I have 7 cups left!! Before dropping off Kobe, I measured out 7 cups! 1 Cup for Sat Dinner 2 Cups for Sunday 2 Cups for Monday 2 Cups for Tuesday in case we needed an extra day from This tells me no food was used from what was provided. Was Kobe fed? Does the staff use other food? I didn't receive his feeding card upon pick up He sure seemed hungry when we fed him tonight after confirming. I asked for Doreen to give me a call. I was told that the best they can do is the manager, and Doreen is unable to call me.

    *Beware when leaving your loved ones at this business.* I don't normally write business reviews, but after my experience I felt the need to warn others. I left my 6 year old bull terrier at camp bow wow for 4 nights. They have you bring your dog in for an inital interview that is 15 min then 3 hrs so they can ensure your dog is friendly and will be able to get along with the other dogs. Everything went good with that process and they explained that my dog will be in the medium groups around other dogs. I probably should have been the one doing the interview. I wish I would have read the negative Yelp reviews before leaving my dog at camp bow wow. I returned the next day to drop off my dog with his food and toys for his stay. One thing I did notice was that the staff seemed very timid and inexperienced with dogs. Anyhow I left my dog there from Thursday morning to Monday morning. When I picked up my dog on Monday I immediately noticed he was acting very scared and not excited and happy the way he normally acts when we are apart. Then I noticed cuts and scrapes all over his face and head. He was bitten by another dog and his head was still bleeding when I picked him up. I asked the person who was helping me I think her name was Emory. She actually acted like that was normal and that dogs play rough. I asked if dogs have left the facility in this condition before and she said yes. I immediately knew my dog would not be returning to camp bow wow. They are understaffed and underqualified to handle the number of dogs they allow to stay. There is literally one staff member standing in a circle of 30 dogs in a room with no control of the situation. This place is like the McDonald's of dog care. Imagine taking your child to day care for the day then picking them up bleeding with cuts all over thier face. Well my dog is my child and he will not be returning to camp bow wow.

I was confirmed on assessment day that I can pick up my dog around 8pm and there would be someone present after hours. I went to pick up my dog at 8pm. Rang the bell on the front entrance and knocked multiple times on the doors for one hour straight. The places looked empty, lights turned off, no car parked in the parking lot. All I heard were the dogs barking. Called multiple times that went straight to voicemail, sent lots of emails, and DM instagram. No reply whatsoever. The fact that they don't have anyone present in the facility 24/7 in case of an emergency or even an emergency line to contact someone is unsafe and dangerous. I do not feel comfortable nor deem it safe leaving my pet there again.

But my husband and I both needed to travel at the last minute and Vet Tech Pet Care came very highly recommended by a friend's friend who has been using them for years. We weren't quite sure how it would work at first and who would be assigned to stop in 2x/day. But Tomiko was great about matching cat lovers on her staff with the days we needed coverage. Alexa was our cats' "main" sitter but Kaitlin also stopped by a couple of times when Alexa wasn't available. We had the opportunity meet both Alexa and Kaitlin in person before we departed, and Tomiko also came by to make sure everything would run smoothly in our absence. I am pretty organized and had typed up instructions already for Alexa and Kaitlin, but Tomiko had a very detailed checklist that she also went through with me to make sure nothing was overlooked. I really appreciated that. We got texts with pictures and updates on our cats at every visit, which we also really appreciated. Our cats are very shy and skittish with strangers, so we got to hear how they were warming up to Alexa and Kaitlin at each visit. That was such a comfort to us! We would use Vet Tech Pet Care again in the future without hesitation and highly recommend them to others! While they are a service with many different petsitters working for them, it felt very personal and customized to our senior cats' specific needs.
