Camp Run-A-Mutt Chula Vista is outstanding. The level of personal attention and detail to each and every customer and more importantly dog or dogs, is awesome. The owners and staff are very knowledgeable, helpful, and I feel do go way above and beyond our expectations. These folks are professional, friendly.and know everyone and dog off the top of their heads. They take special attention to each dog and have updates as needed/appropriate for owners. Its a really exceptional nice touch, and overall I wouldn't leave our special member of our family anywhere else. Its a great natural environment where dogs get to be in their element, just being part of the pack. They also have grooming and training of which we are very pleased with. We feel fortunate to have such a special place for our our loved doggie. read more

The perfect place for my 'baby' to spend the day while I'm at work. Wonderful facility, caring and knowledgeable staff. They provide a fun, actively structured day, while lovingly reinforcing good doggy behavior and redirecting any possible issues. And there's even a web cam so you can watch your dog at play any time of the day! They love their clientele as if they are their own. And that for me is something money can't buy. Thank you Paul and Chad and the rest of the staff for giving us peace of mind when we are away from our four legged baby! read more

We took our Weimaraner puppy here for a while and liked it even though it was a little pricey. The problem is there was an outbreak that they failed to make us aware of and our dog got sick as a result. When we called asking for information they were more concerned about stating that they were not at fault than answering our questions. We lost hundreds of dollars in vet fees and they never apologized or even offered to take care of a few of our visits. Needless to say we are very disappointed with how things turned out and are now with another daycare. read more

My Leila loves it here! So much she can't contain herself when we get to the parking lot. I love that it's cage free here and that she makes new friends. She likes people more than other dogs so it's a plus having staff that don't mind giving her attention too. The staff is so helpful, I have a baby so they offer all the time to get my fur baby out and in the car. She's behind on training unfortunately because we let someone babysit her and they broke her femur at only 4 months so it's been great that they try to help us with that. They offer military discount as well! read more

My dog loves going to day camp at Camp Run a Mutt. He comes home happy and tired!!

I LOVE Camp-Run-A-Mutt! My Akita and my husky love it there. I have been taking them to this location for over a year. It's a great way for them to lean social skills and they have fun. The staff is great! Very attentive, professional and I feel like they really care about my fur babies. I have also had my two dogs groomed there and they did an excellent job. I am very happy. :) read more

Vader has experienced boarding, daycare, and grooming at camp and we have never been disappointed with any of their services. We HIGHLY recommend this place to Pawrents who treat tiheir dogs like family! read more

Soooo, after leaving my review (apologies for the delay) I received an email from Michelle Magers, the "expert" dog trainer. Mind you, I am only updating this because I DID find a SUPERB trainer who opened my eyes to the horrible experience and training practices of Michelle. DON'T buy a Gentle Leader, unless you want your dig to get whiplash!!! This is the e-mail she sent me: I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to personally take the time to reach out to you and address your concerns based on your Yelp review, posted under Esperanza. First off, I apologize that the group dog training classes didn't meet your expectations. Please know that our specialized group classes are meant to offer dedicated expertise in obedience, therapy, and service dog training in a fun, family-friendly, affordable setting that is great for real-world commands and natural distractions. I'm sorry that we didn't get a chance to have you and your dog participate in all the classes, showing you how much fun you can have in class and all that can be benefited from it. A group dog training experience is not for all dogs and/or owners, and that's why we offer clients the option of frequent private/individual lessons with customized goal plans. (They offered me no refund or options.) As a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and Mandated Reporter, I strive to treat all clients with respect and provide the best training and handling approaches for their dog's age, gender, personality, temperament and motivation. If you can recall, I spent a considerable amount of time with you; almost an hour after the second class, working with you and your mother on personal needs.(She stated she was required BY LAW to stay with me until my panic attack was over - she was free to leave at any time - THIS is one of the many reasons I need a Service Dog.) I also talked with you and your mother over the phone after the forth class regarding resources, options, and other needs you both wanted addressed. (On the phone all she told me was that she would not give me a refund and explained that there would be no partial refund or any other alternative lessons - that's all.) I hope you found our confidential conversations helpful. Just as a friendly reminder for the learning benefits of all students and dogs, our group classes do have limited enrollment, no more than 10, and students are responsible for attending the class sessions they have confirmed enrollment in. Our Responsibility Contract that you signed with a copy emailed to you on the first class clearly states our 24-Hour Cancellation Policy: "For group classes, I understand that GSSD has limited enrollment in their group classes and I am responsible for attending the class sessions I have signed up for. GSSD does not offer any class makeups, enrollment changes, or refunds within 24 hours before a new class start date." I recognize that you had challenges complying with the program terms starting on your third class session. I understand that things come up and life happens, but I always encouraged students to continue classes to the best of their abilities. (After the second class she told me not to return, she also suggested that I get rid of my dog!!!) When a student discontinues or misses classes, it's always their choice as I would never turn an enrolled student away whose spot is reserved in a class and they were committed to training. After we spoke over the phone after the fourth session, you told me that you didn't plan on finishing the last class, and I respected your personal choice. Although only for a few weeks, it was a privilege to get to work with you and your dog. I recognize and accept that your review on Yelp is your personal choice. I kindly ask that you take the time to reflect on the dog training and counseling services I provided you along with the signed Responsibility Contract, and consider retracting and removing your Yelp review from Camp Run-A-Mutt's page as it is not a fair posting to their business. (Nope) I truly do want the best for all our clients and dogs. I wish you continued success and health with training your dog. If in the future you decide to continue service dog training, and it is prescribed by your medical support staff, I hope you choose to consider our service dog private lessons. These can be better customized to your needs and we can collaboratively and responsibly work together. Thank you for your valuable time. Please feel free to directly contact me so we can appropriately and quickly resolve this. Take the e-mail as you will. Just goes to show that Michelle would rather keep her money then work with a disabled person. Sheesh!!! read more

We dropped Trooper (Golden Retriever) and it was an awesome experience for him as well as for us. Everyone there loves their job and the pets that are left in their care. We cannot think of any other place that we would take Trooper to, for him it was Doggie Disney and Legoland wrapped into one. read more

We love Camp Run A Mutt! They have been a lifesaver for us! We feel confident knowing that our dog will be well cared for daycare, when we need him out of the house during home repairs or for boarding when we go out of town. I always check on him with their mutt cams and he always comes home happy and tired. I love that he is never caged. Seriously, the best! read more

Thank goodness for Camp Run-A-Mutt! We rely on them every time we go away on vacation, and we know that our dog will have a good time. It's a relief to know our dog is in good hands. Even more importantly, the experience with such a variety of other dogs helped make sure he is well-socialized and his interactions with stranger dogs on the sidewalk are always good. read more

Best place for me and my dog. They have all help me with my super energetic lab Zeus. Not only with day care but with grooming which is something else worth every penny, and with extra tips on handling my dog and his energy into a positive and calmer dog. Every single person that i have talk to is super friendly and understanding on all of my questions. They know what they are doing and i wouldnt change their service. Yo just have to try it once and you and your dog will love it. read more

I used Camp-Run-A-Mutt Last year over Christmas and was very happy. It was nice to check in on my dog when ever I needed a fix. I'd use them again. read more

Great place!!!! Wonderful staff. Our dog loves it. I like that they test the dogs thoroughly before letting them interact with other dogs. I also like that they don't cage the dogs when they are boarded overnight. We've been impressed with every aspect of Camp Run-a Mutt read more

Excellent place! I'll bring my dog there anytime! Paul and his staff are great!

this place is great. the people who work here all seem to really know what they are doing and my dog.is always tired when he comes home. its a bit on the expensive side but there.is a military discount and i definitely think quality care is worth it. If you know someone who takes their dog here you can get a 20% discount on.a package by using their name and they get 20% off too. Definitely a good way to start. read more

CRAM CV is the only place I feel safe leaving my Missy girl. I love that dogs run free and that someone is with them at night. They are strict in some aspects but if that's what it takes to keep the place safe then so be it. Prices are on the higher end but it's worth the peace of mind. I love Victoria's customer service and how she treats and cares for Missy. If you want a place where you know your dog will be safe and happy you will choose CRAM CV. read more

This is Dezi's mom! I love this place. We transferred from the point loma location because I'm working from home now and we live in south bay so point loma is no longer close and since it was by my job and i would drop her off (point loma is great as well). This location's outside area seems bigger and i really love that they can separate the dogs by hyper/size for the most part. They focus on training and manners with the dogs (they make dezi sit and wait before they bring her which is the cutest thing and she honestly needs better leash manners anyway) which is an added bonus. The staff and owners are all great and Dezi just loves it there - she goes often with her BFF Nash so they are usually together all the time and I love that they know this and put them together because he is way bigger than her but they know they are friends and that means so much to us!!! Nothing but great things to say about this location and Point Loma. Nothing like knowing your pup is in good hands and you definitely get that here! read more

They are doing something right. My dog sleeps for two days after her visits. She's not a fan of people, but loves the staff there. Makes it's easy to drop her off. The live video feed is nice too. No matter where you are you can check in and see how your mutt is doing. read more

Camp Run-A-Mutt - Pet Sitting Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Fabulous. Wonderful. Amazing. Can't say enough good things about this business. Everything is clean and organized when you enter. It doesn't smell like a kennel. The staff are warm and welcoming. They handle the "busy"-ness of dogs in and out, phone calls, and transactions well. They take wonderful care of your animal. My dog Bear was in good hands when I left him for boarding. Paul, the owner is often onsite and clearly loves dogs. He gets to know all of them. I really appreciate a business owner who is passionate about his work. You can watch your pup on a webcam. Overnight they stay in comfy dog beds and on the couch as a group with the overnight staff. If you care about your dog and want a safe and happy place for them to stay while your gone, bring them here. read more

We love bringing our Lucky Husky to camp run a mutt Chula Vista. Everyone is super welcoming and friendly. Paul and Chad are amazing! They take the time to get to know us and our fur babies. Great place! read more

Fabulous, friendly staff. Our Pyper and Maizlee stayed here while we were visiting San Diego from Utah, making our sight seeing a lot easier, and less stressful. Absolutely love that I can check in on them using the app to see live feed! Can't wait to bring my girls again!!! read more

Today I took my dog Libby in for grooming. I was told it would take approximately 45 minutes to groom. I advised I would not be able to pick her up for approximately 2 hours. When I picked her up I was charged a half-day daycare. Had I been made aware of this upcharge in advance I could have made other arrangements. We have used this facility for boarding in the past and will continue to use that service and for that I give 5 stars. I won't use the grooming services in the future after being charged $22.50 for boarding for such a short time. Today (5/24/17) Paul Cook spoke with me when he became aware of my dissatisfaction over yesterday's charge. Because I was not made aware of the option to leave Libby in a kennel as opposed to going into the yard, Paul has credited my half-day charge and apologized for the miscommunication. I am satisfied but now that I know the policy I won't make that mistake again. Mary Schuitt read more

My fur baby Gus and I love Camp Run-a-Mutt. He's excited to go and I'm excited about the care they provide. Everything has been top notch! Customer service and grooming are super! Big thanks to Paul and his team for all they do and for sharing their doggy knowledge with me! read more

This place is AWESOME!!! My boxers can't wait for camp to play with all the dogs. The team here is great and they take care of my dogs as if they were their own. I couldn't ask for a better place to trust with my babies. I love the Muttcam so that I can check in during the day to see them running around :) read more

All the staff is awesome and always takes good care of my chiweenie. He's always super tired and ready to sleep when he gets home. You can see your dog too while you're at work with their mutt cam. Prices are reasonable for a great camp! read more

Love camp run a mutt Chula Vista the staff are great and my dog loves it, it's his home away from home.

Even when we don't visit for awhile, the staff always greets my dog, Danica, as a long-lost friend! She comes home happy and (good) tired after each visit. I've been using Camp Run-A-Mutt Chula Vista ever since they opened (transferring from Mission Hills) for both days and boarding, and never worry -- she gets soooooo excited when she realizes where we're going! They do a fabulous job, kudos to all the staff. read more

Camp Run A Mutt Chula Vista is an awesome facility for any kind of dog and their owners. Staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. The facility itself is very clean. I recently left my German Shepherd for the first time for a two night stay and he got the VIP treatment. Extra kuddos for being able to monitor my furry kiddo from four different on site cameras throughout the day. There's no doubt that I will continue to bring my furry kiddo back here. read more

Very fussy owners. Waited over an hour to get their so-called temperament test on my well-behaved & trained border collie. Was told he 'shows herding tendencies.' What a joke. That's what the breed does. read more

We are new to Camp Run-a-Mutt. I was very impressed with their facility and the level of professionalism. The staff is very well trained and most important I feel completely at ease leaving my girl at Camp Run-A-Mutt. My dog enjoys daycare 2-3 days per week and we just had our first overnight. We are pleased with our experience at this business. read more

Great yards for the dogs! More than adequate space, and water. Nice structure with a water feature for cooling off on hot days, and playing the rest of the time. Nifty to be able to see my dogs on camera during the day. Grooming is quality. Really like the owners and staff. Knowledgable, friendly, and really listen to your concerns about your pet. I feel at ease after dropping the dogs off there. Can't speak for boarding because I haven't done it. They also have outstanding training classes that take place at the facility. read more

Our baby Bronson loves this place! He already stayed many times during the day and couple of overnighters. We get to watch him play with other dogs, in the pond, and with the staff through the mutt-cams. He is well cared for while staying there. Amazing staff. Bonus is he comes home super relaxed after a full day of play. Highly recommend! read more

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first walked in and was pleasantly surprised. Sierra greeted me (and Cassie) right away. I'm a picky parent, and was encouraged when the staff openly shared and answered all my questions. Now, after only a short time, my dog Cassie can't wait to leave me when we arrive and isn't all that excited to go with me when it's time to go home........ (just kidding :-) ). I can't recommend these "fur person" friends more highly. read more

Really great experience leaving the smaller of our two dogs here. She seemed to have a great time, the staff was so affectionate and attentive to her, and in this big space the dogs all fell into a natural and fun pack environment. We obsessively watched her on the webcams, which was a nice way of feeling connected to her and checking in throughout the day. 100% will be back whenever she can't accompany us for travel or whenever she just needs to burn off some energy in a great space with friends. read more

Absolutely love this place, but my dog loves it more. They have a webcam where you can watch your dog the whole time they are there. The people who work there are great too! It's very obvious they love your pet as much as you do! I highly recommend this facility to friends and family and everyone!!! read more

I took my 9 month old golden here for the first day for temperament testing. The facility looks and smells clean! I watched him on/off during the 6hrs on the mutt cam & thought he wouldn't be so tired from just walking around and meeting other doggies. WRONG! He knocked out right when we got home at 5pm - the rest of the night. Great way to be able to have my dog socialize & tire out! read more

Camp Run A Mutt are truly amazing!!! I bring my dog there for daycare and boarding. Every single staff member adore my dog and he loves them back. That's how I know they treat him with tremendous love. They are so patient and I can't tell you the number of times that Paul one of the owners patiently answered all of my questions. My dog is my baby and I really trust leaving him in their care. I can't say enough about how wonderful they are. Also, the training classes are fantastic. I highly reccomend this facility and am so grateful that I found them. read more

They always take great care of our baby. Not only that but by the second time he was there they greeted him by his name. They go out of there way to answer any questions or concerns. Great staff! Great facility! read more

Ive been coning here for almost 2 years. I love bringing my dog to play here.. she always has a blast with all the different doggies there. The staff is the best.. friendly and personable. read more
