Went to tour the camp on Saturday 5/19 after exchanging a couple of emails with Zach. Arrived during business hours and rang the doorbell. After about 10 minutes (and another ring) someone opened the door and simply asked me for my last name. No 'Hello, welcome, how are you...', nothing. Handed him my dog's shot records. He looked at them for about 5 minutes and handed them back to us simply saying that the shots were no good since they were administered in Mexico. He explained that it was city rules, or something to that extent, which I 100% understand and respect. But the way he treated us was really unbelievable, almost as if we had committed a crime. I was curious if somehow the shots could be validated by a veterinarian in San Diego, but he just kept sticking to the 'city rule'. No information at all, no customer service skills, no options, just did not want our business. I'm for sure not going to give my German Shepherd the same shots again here in the States, just so that I can board her in this camp. Rules are rules and it is what it is, but it is disappointing nonetheless. read more

We learned of Camp Shultz when we volunteered for Lab & Friends Rescue group, add they board dogs who are waiting on foster parents to pick them up. This is also our go-to place for doggie daycare. The manager, Zack, is awesome, even agreed to take my doggies on closed Sunday for a few hours when I was having an open house and knew buyers would not appreciate having a 90 pound mastiff and 130 pound great dane giving them the crotch test. Even though my little dog is selective, he has friends he can play with and is so happy to go there. If they were open just a little bit later I'd give it 5 stars. It's always a mad panic to pick up both the dogs and the kids from school. Otherwise, the hubby and I just split the duties and we work it out. Camp Schultz is worth the hump - no pun intended! read more

They did such an awesome job with my puppies melody and grace. This was my first time leaving them for such a long period under other persons care, but everything went really well. I highly recommend them to anybody. Big dog or small ( I have small chihuahua puppies) and for a short period or a week. Just make sure your dogs vaccinations are good to go and you have nothing to worry about. They also offer military discount which always helps! read more

Thank you for taking such great care of our doggies Artie and Andie. We were moving and were out of a home for a week and Camp Schultz took them in. We even had to call and extend their stay for a couple of days while we got situated and there was no problem. They came home very happy and well groomed. We will alway have them stay at Camp Schultz when we are away. Very professional and helpful. read more

I've boarded my boxer here 5-6 times and have never had an issue. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. My boxer always comes back happy! read more

Excellent boarding facility and great staff support. Camp Schultz was recommended to me by Jensen Kennels to board my two cats, and I have used them twice now. Emily and Zach are very accommodating and took great care of me and my two buddies when I had to be out of town. Will use them again, for sure. read more

Just picked my dogs up from their first boarding ever and they smell great and are hapy as can be! The people are very friendly the receptionist is awesome they actually try to connect with you on a personal level which is rare anymore and I like it! The facilities are alot nicer and bigger than I could have hoped for and THE PRICE WAS AMAZING.... EVEN THE HOIIDAY RATE!!!!! I am taking them back whenever we go on another vacation where we cant bring the dogs! Thank you camp schultz for taking care of my puppies!! read more

Any time we go out of town, the only place we trust our dogs to stay at is Camp Schultz. We used to send them to the Petsmart Pets Hotel in La Jolla, spent a fortune, only to bring them home one day after a trip to have them COVERED with fleas! After many trips back and forth and talks with the manager, we found Camp Schultz, and have stayed with them ever since. The owners are very friendly,the prices reasonable, and the kennels clean. All in all, a great experience, and we recommend them to anyone! read more

I like this place. The price is good and not as expensive as other places around the area. The really listen to what I said about my dog personality and she was bathe when I picked her up. They also wash her bedding, and for an extra 5 bucks for the fitness packet she was walked more often and let out during the day. I will bring her back again if I need to leave. The only downside is they charge the day u pick up unless u pick begore 10. wich I was mot able. Also Although the facility is clean if does need some update. read more

We boarded our dog because we were going overseas for a week. After coming back and picking up our dog, she seemed lethargic and only slightly excited to see us again. She seemed to have lost some weight and had kennel cough. We were thinking that maybe she was stressed from being put in a kennel. Other than that, we were happy with her condition. read more

Very nice facility. I just picked up our dog after a weeklong vacation and as always he seems happy and well taken care of. Very easy experience and they have never let me down with booking and reservations. We got him groomed as well and they did an excellent job. Friendly people, Knowledgeable, and nice looking facility. read more

So I took my dog there for the second time today to be groomed. Both times that we brought our dog to be groomed the staff went out of their way to make our dog happy. They are very friendly and very helpful. I high recommend them to anyone who are thinking on where to take their pets. read more

My dog love coming here. He always stays en the pampered pooch suite. Zach and Christian are great too. Great customer service

Love this place, they always take perfect care of my puppy. She is always tired from playing when I pick her up, she loves it here. Will keep bringing her here, thank you for providing an excellent place for my fur baby! read more

We are so happy to have Camp Schultz for our labradors to go to. They love going to day care and also boarding. We know that they are well taken care of and they love going. We highly would recommend Camp Schultz. read more

Picked up Percy today. This is our second time boarding Percy here and we have been pleased both times. He seems happy when we pick him up, he's not afraid to return and he's clean. This time we also had him groomed and they did a great job. Not only will we continue to board him here, but we've also found a new groomer!! read more

Great prices. Only place we have taken our dog that our dog hasn't lost weight during his visit. They always know who he is when we call to check on him or schedule an appointment. Love this place. read more

We really like Camp Schultz we bring our dogs here for boarding when as often as needed. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We feel that our dogs are well taken care off. We usually get the fitness package and our labradors really seem to like it. I would highly recommend Camp Schultz! read more

Camp Schultz took great care of our doggie when we were away on vacation overseas. He became sick and Zach took him to the vet on a Saturday evening (see my separate review on Bonita Pet Care) after their regular hours. We were kept abreast of his progress via email and the staff administered medication. All this at no extra charge. Rates are very reasonable to begin with (hope they maintain this). Thank you, Camp Schultz! read more

Our sweet dog had to have a temporary home for over 2 months. Camp Schultz was the perfect place for him. They took great care of him! We are so happy to have our dog back home but thankful for Camp Schultz. read more

My wife and I found Camp Schultz a year ago. The staff, especially Christian and Zach are great and take such good care of my husky. We recommend Camp Schultz to everyone we know, even my in-laws use their amazing boarding service. We never worry about our dogs and always know they are in good hands! read more

The staff at Camp Schultz is great. I was able to get a last minute reservation for an overnight stay for my dog.

Camp Schultz is great! Awesome prices! Nice staff! We had her groomed also. We had specific requests and they exceeded our expectations!

My dog loves them, I brought him here twice for 8 and 6 days, the second time with really short notice and they found a spot for my dog!!! They are excellent, they called me right away when my dog got kennel cough the first time and brought him to the vet, and they kept me updated on what was going on since I was out of town!! read more

Left my doggies here for the memorial weekend. Pick them up all groomed as I requested. Customer service was excellent. Will definitely be back the next time I need to boarding service. read more

Never had any complaints with Camp Schultz--the staff are really friendly and seem happy to be there (which is saying a lot for a workplace), the prices are reasonable, and more importantly: our Zoey has always had a good time whenever she's there, be it for one day or one weekend. We definitely trust Camp Schultz and highly recommend them and their services! read more

Very upset and disappointed. I dropped my pup off at Camp Schulz for 10 days of boarding due to a family emergency in Arizona. I called every few days to check on him. The last day I called was the day before I picked him up to let them know I would be getting him a day early. I get to Camp Schulz and hey bring him to me and immediately he smells like pee and poop. I check him over and see that his private areas are covered in pee and poo buildup. Absolutely ridiculous. I talked to the woman at their front desk about it and she tells me I didn't purchase a grooming package so he didn't get bathed. Well yeah, I got him a full groom the day before I dropped him off (at City Dog in downtown. AMAZING place) so I figured that he wouldn't need a full groom a mere 10 days later. I tell her that and she said that if I would like for them to bathe him I can pay for a grooming package. I tell her that I didn't expect him to be fully groomed, just that when he has poo stuck on his but that they wipe it off. She doesn't say anything after that. Just looks at me blankly. I was also not told that they charge an extra $5 a day for "holiday periods" until I pay for him at pickup. Their $21/day for small dogs is not worth it with how they treat your pups. Pay the extra $5 other places charge and avoid going here. Overall a disappointment and we won't be returning. read more

Camp Schultz Dog Board and Play - Didn't wipe my dog off because I didn't purchase a grooming package. They let the dogs just sit in their own feces! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Bonita, California

I have tried a few different boarding kennels as I travel alot and this by far is the best. My two dogs love togo there and they have grooming onsite so you can pick your dog up all groomed and clean. The only thing that gets me is I wish they would change the policy of charging a full day charge for the day you pick up. On Mondays if you pick up before 10am they don't charge any extra. Wish they would do this every day of week. Nether the less hands down the best boarding kennels where the staff really seem to care about the dogs and the report card is great showing you how your dog got on in your absence. read more

Just returned from leaving my 3yr old Vizsla, Gunner, at Camp Schultz for 5 days on short notice. As always he was happy and clean. I have always felt my Gunner is safe and well taken care of when I eave him here. read more

This is the first time my dogs have ever been boarded and I was extremely nervous. However all went great and my dogs were well taken care of. :) read more

We booked an online reservation on Wed 9/26/18 for a boarding service for our Shitzhu. We had our dog scheduled to be dropped off at Camp Schultz on Sat 9/29 at 4 pm. We were going out of town for 7 days and and we were scheduled to pick up our dog on Friday 10/5/18. After my wife made the reservation, our credit card was billed $344.00 even though we have not dropped off our dog yet. This was unusual because the business should not have billed us until the services have been fulfilled or at least until when we checked our dog in for boarding. Well we showed up at Camp Shultz on Sat 9/29 at 3:30 pm to check in our dog. We were greeted my a man who stated he did not have a reservation for us. He told us they were totally booked and could no longer accept any dogs for boarding. We advised him we had a reservation and he told us there was no record of our reservation. We showed him a copy of our online reservation and my credit card online statement the bill for $344.00. The man then somehow found in the computer that we already paid $344.00. He made no attempt to check if there were any possible future spots to satisfy our pre-book and paid reservation. All he told us was they were booked for the weekend and sorry. Me and my wife were very upset because we thought our reservation was confirmed and good. We never received any phone calls or emails advising us our reservation could not be accepted because Camp Shultz was already booked. So I requested from the man that our credit card be refunded it's full amount and left that place pissed off. A couple hours later, another man possibly named Christian, called our house and advised me Camp Shultz had two dogs go home and I could now bring my dog back there. I told the man the business greatly put my family in a bind and I would never go back to Camp Shultz in the future for any dog boarding services. This business is not reliable even if you prebook an online reservation. I will never use this business again. Very disappointed!!! read more

I left my two dogs there for the first time. One is a pug and the other is a boston terrier. It is the absolute cutest place that I have ever seen. The dogs were treated so well and came back extremely happy and bouncy. Thanks again Camp Shultz Kim M. read more

Recently I had to go to the bay area because of a family emergency, I first called my vet about boarding my little dog, they wanted $100.00 a day !!!! A friend told me about Camp Schultz, I visited them without prior notice and was so pleased, they showed me the whole facility, answered all my questions, so I decided to board him there, when I returned my dog was happy, clean and of course happy to see me, I will always use them when I have to leave town. I recommend them highly, they are the best June Tobin read more

We have used Camp Schultz for the past 3-4 years for our beagle, Diamond. We have left her there several times a year for between 3 - 7 days. She is now elderly, diabetic and blind. They have always done a great job making sure she is comfortable and happy. She needs insulin shots twice a day, and some extra love and attention. She needs extra water and tends to pee a lot. They keep her safe and happy. We always use the pampered pets suite. I recommend them for boarding read more

First of all I will start with the positives. The staff there is extremely friendly. On the outside I felt as though when I left my dog there, she would be in good hands. Their price is great for the area. So I've taken my dog there a few times (at least 3x) already. Each time I have taken her in she gets sick. Instead of saving the money I had hoped for I'm dishing out another $100-300! I try not to point and accuse right away so I gave more opportunities to redeem themselves but this past visit is where I have to draw the line. My dog ended up with an eye, ear and skin infection. I called the manager and they sympathized but really gave me no real assurance on why I should bring my dog back over there. This place has it's perks but I think it's time for me to move on and take my dog where I feel confident. Boarding here ended up costing almost $500 the last visit! Definitely Not worth it. No compensation even though I have documents to prove that she seems to get sick shortly after staying there. Leave your dog there with caution. Not sure how clean the facilities are kept considering the smell of urine is extremely overwhelming. read more

My girlfriend has been taking her Pomeranian to Camp Schultz for several weeks now and she is happy with their care. I am having construction done in my home so decided to also take my dog who is 9.5 years old there for a few days. He suffers from separation anxiety and I was concerned about taking him...but felt he was safer there than home with all the workers. I asked them to show me where he stays during the day and the kennels are nice in size, and very clean. The floors look like a nice epoxy painted garage floor and there is a raised cot type bed in each kennel. Water containers are hanging from the fence and the food we send is also hung in a tin pail from the fence. I like that better than in a bowl on the ground where insects and bugs have an easier way to get into them. They take him out for play and bathroom breaks during the day. To my surprise he runs out to the car in the morning like he is going to school and when we get there he jumps out of the car and goes right up to the gate to get into the facility. The price is fair and they have deals if you buy packages. If wish I had known about this facility before and will definitely use them again when I need temporary day care for Johnny. read more

I can't even give Camp Schultz a star- our dog did not make it out of their facility ALIVE. Two years ago we left our first pet at Camp Schultz for a weekend college trip. To our horror one day before returning home we received a call that our first and only dog was rushed to the animal hospital because he stopped breathing. Our very calm dog was reported to be aggressive while having his nails clipped. In letters later demanded regarding the last few minutes of our dog's life the camp staff admitted to placing a towel over his face and then amazingly he stopped breathing. Of course this was all denied when we received the first call. Those responsible refused to meet us to discuss what happened. They even said our very healthy animal "must have been sick and had some underlying health condition." The owner even refused to accept responsibility until we threatened legal action. He tried to take advantage of our heartbreak! My heart breaks as I write this review as it I recall the heartache that our 2 kids and family felt dealing with his loss. We are not litigious and never want to draw out the pain we experienced because "making them pay" would never bring our beloved dog home. But as our family heals and takes the step to welcome 2 new puppies in our family, we want to assure that no one ever has to endure the pain that we experienced. They appear very professional but I encourage you to think TWICE before leaving your pet at this facility. I don't think that we will EVER trust another boarding facility. If our puppies can't be with us...we will be staying home! read more

I boarded my pet here for about 3 days in September of 2011. This was my first experience with a kennel so I was skeptical. But it seemed like he was okay when I got him back. But when I got home his feces were soft unlike usual. I called and ask the young lady about the food they had given him and she said that they gave him the WET dog food as requested. MY DOG EATS DRY FOOD. Then, when I checked his bed I am almost certain that I saw rat feces in his bed. I drove out of my way to bring my dog here for the price and the reviews but next time I think I'll just suck it up and pay more for another place :( read more

Camp Schultz was great for our dog!! The people there are amazing and very loving!! When we picked up our dog she was very happy and also very tired ;). The facility is clean and they seem very well organized. The price is Amazing for the service provided. I like that they offer different options such as day care and boarding. They even offer teeth brushing and doggy facials for only $5 extra!! We will definitely bring her back again!! Thank you for the wonderful experience!! read more

We've been boarding our elderly dog, Rosie, here for several years, and have been very happy with her care. Recently we were out of town for several weeks and boarded her there again, As we were approaching San Diego on our drive home from our trip, we got a call from Camp Schultz saying Rosie was not doing well, and asking what we preferred to do. We suggested they go ahead and take her to her vet (who they'd already looked up), which they did. Unfortunately, the vet called us on the road to say Rosie was very ill. We got to the vet in time to say Good-Bye to our long-time friend and family member. When we let Camp Schultz know our sad news, Bruce Schultz informed us that there would be no charge for her care for the 2 weeks she'd been with them (!!), as she was special to Camp Schultz. I thought that was above and beyond the normal level of customer service from al kennel, and want to share it with everyone! If and when we have another dog, we'll be taking it to Camp Schultz! read more
