The counselors at Linda's Camp K9 are as crazy about your dog as you! We understand your dog is a cherished member of the family, and as such, your dog deserves the same standard of care and comfort. When you leave your dog in our care, we know that you are leaving your child. We take that responsibility very seriously.

I've boarded my dog at wonderful pet lodges in Miami that happily take unaltered dogs. My dog is a pure breed & AKC registered with Champions in her blood-line from Ukraine and Russia. I would never fix my dog. Dogs who are spayed have a greater risk of hemangiosarcoma, mast cell cancer, lymphoma, and bladder cancer; higher incidence of hip dysplasia in dogs spayed or neutered at six months of age, significantly higher prevalence of cranial cruciate ligament injury (CCL), heightened risk of urinary incontinence in females that are spayed early, greater likelihood of hypothyroidism in spayed and neutered dogs, higher incidence of infectious diseases, higher incidence of adverse reactions to vaccines in altered dogs, and increased risk of prostate cancer in neutered males.
If a dog is spayed between the first and second heat cycle, the chance of developing mammary cancer increases to 8% risk. When spayed after their 2nd heat, the risk is 26%. To be turned away and treated like I'm a bad dog downer by the receptionist Tammy for not having a spayed dog is ludicrous! More people clearly need to do their research and are completely unaware of the unnecessary ill they bring to their dogs by their unconscious oblivious decisions. I would not recommend this place, they clearly cannot handle dogs unless they're physically altered and don't have their natural hormones and temperaments.

Had a "working interview" here and thought I would be getting paid, after all it was 3 hours of working hard scrubbing and cleaning everything. Turns out they must do this all the time to get free work done. Didn't even get a call back with an update after I worked for free. Will never recommend this place. Unless they send me a check that is definitely owed lol.

We have a polydactyly cat with a sixth claw digit that will grow into her paw pad if not cut every month/month & a half, it's a tricky trim. They've always done an excellent job at reasonable prices. Though I do hope that toe-nail-Tuesday will come back soon since being closed for COVID. Currently this is our best know option and the people seem pretty stellar so, 5 stars

The staff are friendly, great at communicating (with both dogs and humans!), and patient with overprotective dog parents like us. Though our boy was overwhelmed and reactive (and therefore not a good fit for daycare), we were impressed with their professionalism, and appreciated their kindness. If you're looking for a safe place to let your dog burn off some energy while you're busy or on vacation, I would recommend Camp K-9. They also have a selection of treats (frosted dog bone cookies, meaty treats and more) that both our dogs enjoy!

My wife and I love this place, and more importantly our French Bulldog does too. We take her there anytime we are going to be gone in the evenings to make sure she can get out and play during the day. When we get there she is so excited because she knows she is about to have a fun day at camp. By the time we get her home in the evening she is passed out from playing so much.
She will basically sleep all evening and into the morning (She would sleep longer if we let her). The staff there is great, and we feel more than comfortable leaving our family member there for the day. We have been coming there for about 6 months now. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a doggy daycare.

Although we love going here for doggy daycare, we recently boarded our dog here and are sadly disappointed. We left him for 5 nights and asked for a bath/nail trim the night before we picked him up. Picked him up early morning (staff said he did fine) and he had wet paws, staff said from going potty outside in rain. He wouldn't jump in the car (thought he was just tired).
I noticed he licked his paws the whole way home, when I got home I looked and his paws were licked completely raw and he had bald spots behind his ears. I called Linda's and asked if the groomer had said anything or if they noticed anything and staff said no. 135 dollar vet visit later with infected paws and ears we are sadly disappointed.

We started looking for an addition to our family. It had been 4 years since our last dog was put down due to a failing liver. We contacted a few other rescue agencies (one of which never responded to my emails). Camp k9 (Linda and the staff) responded quickly and we're very professional! We brought home Luna (formerly Kuma) today, and she has been great!

They did take care of my dog's exercise needs when he was younger. That's the plus side. And the general staff I met were cheerful and well intentioned. But I came to understand he was also showing signs of significant stress. I never overnighted him there. And I do NOT expect this environment to be wholesome for boarding. It's too much. A boarding facility should have dogs penned or crated for much of the day, with scheduled release times. Routine gratifies dogs (most of them). All-day "freedom" does not.

I visited here to meet one of their fosters. The staff here was absolutely wonderful. They are so knowledgable and compassionate to animals. I spoke on the phone with Linda prior to coming and scheduled an appointment. During the visit, they didn't rush us and answered my 1,000 questions. The grounds are also well kept and full of happy dogs. I really can't say enough good things. I wish more places were like this!

Have taken my beagle dachshund Banana for 10 day camp sessions and have been so impressed. The staff is so great, cheery and helpful. They genuinely seem to love my dog and know him as soon as he walks in. He never shows any anxiety from being around the other dogs and he is so tired his little eyes are shut before we even get off the street. He slowly walks into the house and collapses so tired from the fun. : His weight has gone down and I'm just so happy he can get so much exercise to live a longer healthy life.

We used Linda's as a place to board our lab puppy while we went out of state for the weekend, after doing our research it seemed to be the best place that we were able to find at the time. I really liked the fact that the dogs were about to run and play and not be locked in a kennel all day. My issue is with the sanitation of the area. As I know it is hard to keep everything spotless but when we picked up our puppy we had to take him to the vet due to an eye infection that he picked up while being at the camp.
I was very disappointed in the way that they handled everything and that we had to spend even more money fixing an issue that was their fault. We will not be going back and do not recommend this place.

Camp K-9 is our dog's absolute favorite place on earth. The staff is incredibly friendly and it's so clear they all love what they do - and the dogs they care for. Every time I called to set up a day of daycare for our lab, Buckley, anyone who answered the phone always knew him automatically and sounded so excited to have him there. It's so nice to have the peace of mind to know your pets are being taken care of so well.
He stayed overnight here as well multiple times, and even though I know he was always too excited to sleep, there just isn't anywhere else in the area that I'd leave him. Also, the pricing is so reasonable and the pre-paid packages are a fantastic deal. We sadly moved out of the area, and haven't found anything quite like it anywhere else! We miss Camp K-9!

Our dog was nervous the first 2 or 3 times we brought her here, but we think it was because we adopted her from a shelter, and she was worried about being "dumped". Now.she loves the place.as soon as we pull in the lot, she tugs us to the door and runs back to be with the other dogs. Staff is great.when we brought her to visit the first time, they assessed her to insure she would be a good member of the pack.staff gave us a full report and photos.
If your dog doesn't like other dogs, this may not be the place for you. It is "free range" doggy boarding and day care.the dogs run around and play all day. Staff knows her by name, and our dog requires medication twice a day, and they it to her at no additional charge. We LOVE Camp K9.

My pitbull, Karma, goes to camp once or twice a week. Honestly, she is obsessed with going. When I say "camp", she runs to the door with her tail wagging. She is 1.5 years old and very energetic. As a Law Student at Notre Dame, sometimes I am in class or in the library studying longer than I would want to leave her. On busy days, I take her to camp to play with friends.
The counselors know her and take care of her. They are also very patient with her. While I was in California this summer, Karma went to a few day camps and we did not find any that we liked. The dogs were expected to stay inside and be calm all day. At Camp K9, they separate the dogs by size and activity level and let them play all day. Karma always comes home tired and happy.
This is an incredible resource for people that want their dogs to get exercise and be social while they are at school or work. My only caution is: make sure your dog eats and drinks before going to camp. Sometimes they seem like they play so hard that they forget to stop and rehydrate and Karma always comes home and drinks a ton! But otherwise, 5 stars. I love this place

I've been taking my dog to Camp K9 for almost five years. She loves it and they love her. The interaction with other dogs and people has helped her become much less fearful and more social. She loves to go for the day to play and it wears her out! And when I need to board her to go out of town, I know she is well cared for and happy. I highly recommend Camp K9!

We've been taking our two Miniature Schnauzers to Camp K-9 for 4 years for boarding and daycare once in a while. I recently moved to Illinois but still have taken my dogs there 3 times for boarding because its worth the trip. My dogs love being there and have never gotten sick or shown any signs of neglect. They are super excited to go to camp and pull me to the door when we get there. They can't wait to play and be dogs. As an added benefit to me, they are worn out for a day or two after I pick them up from playing. Keep up the great service
