Home Away From Home…read more.... Love Dogs Camp has made a big difference with our dog, Pugsley, since we moved to the area 6 years ago. He was rescued from the streets of San Jose at the age of 1. Before moving to Nipomo, we researched and visited many places offering daycare and boarding, but Carolyn at Love Dogs Camp gave us the most confidence. It offers Pugsley a great environment with no kennels, freedom to roam on 5 acres and the ability to socialize with both big and small dogs. Carolyn has a wonderful trainer - Brett - who's very knowledgeable about dog behavior and nutrition and helped Pugsley become less fearful of other dogs. Supervision is a priority and he is never left alone. Carolyn does a great job vetting new dogs and their owners to ensure compatibility with her existing clientele. She also provides healthy home cooked meals for the dogs at least once a day. Whether it's for just a day or a couple of weeks for vacation, we have no concern bringing Pugsley to Love Dogs Camp. It's his home away from home.

I travel…read morea lot, both for work and pleasure, and don't have family in the area so it's very important to me that I have a reliable, responsible, and trustworthy facility to take care of my dogs. Mary Kay has always been wonderful. She takes a personal and vested interest in the wellbeing of my babies and communicates frequently. This last 4th of July I was going to be out of town and leaving my dogs for the first time. They are terrified of fireworks and I too was terrified to leave them. I mentioned to Mary Kay that I was nervous and she immediately responded with a long, detailed and empathetic email addressing all of the ways they handled the dogs on the fourth to make sure they were comfortable, including having loud fans and putting on talk radio for the dogs. I greatly appreciated her long and thoughtful response and the actions they took to make the dogs comfortable. All of the other staff at this location have always been friendly, attentive and responsible. I have left my dogs here for weeks at a time and they are always happy and healthy when I pick them up. My dogs are also jumpers and diggers and the staff pays special attention to these concerns and put them in the jump proof play yard. The facility is wonderful, the staff is great, their prices are fair and I wouldn't board anywhere else. I've tried other boarding facilities in the past throughout the county and none come close to Rocky Canyon

I recently hired Linda while surfing at Pismo Beach. Initially I was a little nervous as I wasn't…read morefrom the area. However, my fears were soon set aside as Linda took my dog while I removed my board from my car and began putting on my wetsuit. Without me saying a word, she suggested walking my dog within eyeshot. Little by little, I started feeling more confident and was able to relax. Her suggestion of remaining close helped my dog to feel less worried as well as the yummy treats she fed her. What I found most remarkable about Linda was her flexibility. Like an expert surfer, she navigated the situation with ease, rootling through her trunk for a towel when I forgot one, finding water for my dog when she got thirsty, and safeguarding my car keys when I was in the water. All this while a wildfire was causing evacuations within a county of her house! Vacationing as a single person with a Border Collie is not without its challenges; thanks to Linda, I was in a better position to meet those challenges and have fun.

If you want a tired happy dog, send them to Natalie!! I have nothing but great things to say…read more Natalie is an amazing human being, absolutely knowledgeable about animal behavior, and very trustworthy. There are very few people that I trust with my animals, and she has 100% of my trust. I'm never worried when my dog is out with her because I know he's in good hands. He loves his pack walks and I love that he comes home tired and happy. How convenient is it to have your pup picked up and dropped off at home? Super convenient! Your dog will have a fun long day full of physical and mental stimulation! I highly recommend Dog Camp SLO!

Plus socializing with the other dogs on the walks is an added bonus. Natalie also provides the sweetest little update emails every day with tons of adorable pictures. I can tell how much Nora loves it because she gets SO excited to see Natalie and the gang on Wednesdays :) Natalie is fantastic about communication, super organized, and even came over to meet Nora and see how she interacted with other dogs before their first walk together. We could not be happier!

Kelly is amazing with all animals, she's just got that gift. We had a big dog Zack that we…read morebasically only trusted with a few people, he was kind of senile in his old age, Kelly brought out the best in him and stood her ground with enforcing our discipline strategies.

She has tailored her home to be a dog's world: lots of outside play time, tons of toys, and love and treats inside.

She offers discounts for rescues and pickup/drop-off service, which no kennel around here does. Two thumbs up!

We checked in on them via text a couple of times, so it felt good knowing we had that line of communication. She even sent them home with some treats after we picked them up. We definitely plan to use her services again!

She asked what we were looking for in the grooming, told us what she typically does, and gave us suggestions based on her experience.

Jax is part terrier and does not like to have his feet touched. Julianna firmly and lovingly told him that teeth are not acceptable. The grooming was exactly what we asked for. Jax looks and smells great, without strong scents or perfumes. I already made our next appointment. I highly recommend Julianna and her services.
