Camp Bow Wow Hilliard

It’s a clean facility that’s in a convenient location, I know that my dog will be taken care of, I appreciate the friendly employees and being able to see my dog via the webcams (for fun to see if she’s actually playing vs. sleeping or sunbathing).

It’s really a great thing when you can take your dog somewhere where everyone knows his name! They also make sure you get an appointment when you need one.

Convenient hours, flexibility, friendly staff, variety of services. Wish they had a location closer to me in Clintonville. :)

My dog Lucy is shy and afraid of bigger dogs, but the Counselors at Camp Bow Wow introduced her to the other campers her size and Lucy did really well. Camp Bow Wow has great play areas inside and outside for all kinds and sizes of dogs. At the front desk area, the muti-​screen live videos of all the dogs playing in their respective areas help we parents feel more secure when we can see our dog’s behavior.

I’ve just recently started taking my dog here and already we both love it. The staff is super friendly and you can tell genuinely cares about each dog. My energetic guy comes home zonked, so I know he’s had an active and fun day. Prices are very reasonable too with packages available. New regular customer here!

Our 8 month old Golden Retriever enjoys day care at Camp Bow Wow Hilliard. I can check on her via a webcam to see her playing with other dogs her size. A friendly employee is always with the dogs which I appreciate. She always comes home tired! She just spent a week at Camp Bow Wow in Hilliard while we were on vacation. Other neighbors recommended we board her there and so do I. The location is convenient and the staff is friendly.

The staff was extremely friendly. I really appreciate the interview process to insure the safety/​familiarity for all dogs. Chester came home worn out after 4ish hours, that’s a hard thing to accomplish! He’s a energetic little dude!

We rely on Camp Bow Wow to take care of our beloved (high energy) Aussie-​mix Beanie when we take longer vacations that are not dog friendly. He is not always the easiest pup to handle as he is rambunctious and loves to be loved on by people. We have witnessed several instances (while watching on the web cameras, yes we are nerds and it is an amazing feature of Bow Wow!) staff members, even though they are in areas full of dogs to take care of, take a few moments to love on our pup… it means the world to us! Plus, can’t beat the fact that he sleeps for 2 days straight when we pick him up!

Professional, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. Staff are clearly dog lovers. Facility is great! Indoor and outdoor play areas, very large. Frozen peanut butter stuffed kongs as treqats for overnight guests!

I have been taking my dog, Sammie, here ever since she’s 6 months old (she is now 4yrs old… oh how time flies!). All of the staff are super friendly and you can tell they really love the dogs.
They have large indoor and outdoor play areas that are separated into small, medium, and large dog areas. Most of the time my dog is put in the medium dog play area, but since she’s very submissive and sometimes other dogs may play too rough for her, the staff would put her in the small dog area. I love the fact that they have webcams so I can check and see what my dog’s up to… not that I do it very often or anything…
I also love that they have a half-​day option where I can drop Sammie off for 5 hrs and pay only $ 12. It’s very affordable. I always do a half-​day for her on Saturdays from 9am to 2pm. So when my wife and I go out doing our thing Saturday evenings, Sammie will sleep all evening.
Finally, they also have options to come to your home to walk your dog while you are out. There are also obedience classes and grooming. I’ve never used any of these options, but it’s good to know that they have it. I’m so glad Camp Bow Wow is around!

LOVE this place! We dropped our dog off here today for his ‘interview day’ and he loved being here. The staff was very friendly and they said that he mingled with other dogs just fine. We were given a recap of his visit today and he got his own certificate of achieveness! We will be back again soon! :)

Love this place and so does my pup! I was impressed with the cleanliness and the fact it didn’t smell like urine! I love the fact that I can check in on my pup and view him on the cameras. I think the best deal is $ 12 for a half day of up to 6hrs. This is especially nice on Saturday when I just want my dog to get a little extra exercise! The grooming is just ok… nothing that stands out.

I have two new to our household pups: Everest, age 2ish, and Meadow, age 1ish. I don’t know their exact ages because they are both «rescues».
The pups went to «day camp» at Camp Bow Wow while my husband and I were on vacation. Our son took them and picked them up every day, so we really didn’t see them at «camp».
They are great little dogs, but have really opposite in temperments. Everest is smaller and likes to sit on laps. He likes to play, but not all the time. He likes to squeak his squeaky toys.
Meadow is a playing machine. She has so much energy! She likes to wrestle and chew up Everest’s squeaky toys and pull out the stuffing and squeakers. She has an opinion about everything and barks her opinions to anyone who will listen. Or anyone who won’t.
They will wrestle each other and chase, which is fine, and fun, too. But when Everest tires, Meadow still wants to wrestle. So, he hops up on my lap – apparently, he thinks I am «home base». Meadow doesn’t know this rule. She hops up and continues the wrestling. I cover my face with a pillow so my eyes don’t get poked out.
However, today I was bushed. Just really, really tired. And Meadow just wanted to play. And bark. And wrestle. Everest didn’t want to, and quite frankly, neither did I.
Camp BowWow to the rescue! I called on impulse and they had an opening. I took Meadow over and she got to play all day. They were so glad to see her.
Everest and I were able to stay home and have a «Mommy and Me» day. We napped. Took a few drives. Hung out. Had a short walk. Just chilled.
And Meadow got to play. We watched her a little on the «Camper Cam». I know she had fun and played lots… because it is 10:41 and she is sound asleep!
Thanks, Camp BowWow. They’ll be back!

Camp Bow Wow in Hilliard is top notch! The service is phenomenal not only because you can genuinely tell the employees love dogs but because as soon as you walk in they know who you’re picking up or dropping off! I personally value that type of personable interaction when utilizing any kind of service but especially one where I’m dropping off a loved one like my pup.
Another interesting aspect of Camp Bow Wow that sets them apart in my eyes are the cameras. I know they’ve been mentioned already by some other reviews but being able to see your dog having fun in a safe, open, and supervised environment is truly a great feeling.
Finally, the safety precautions taken are fantastic. The ratio of employees to dogs during play time is great and offers an even better environment than most dog parks really. Also, there is an interview process where they take dogs in who are most likely to behave well in that environment. It reassures me personally to know that.

There’s not much I can say that hasn’t been said in other reviews, so I’ll keep it short… LOVE THIS PLACE! I am in Clintonville and it’s not very close to me but it’s so worth the drive for long term boarding when I’m on vacation.
I have taken my dogs to several other boarding facilities and there’s always something wrong… the employees not being real animal lovers, the pricing structure being too complicated or too expensive, or the cages being too small with no play time (like most veterinarians).
I wish they were closer to me because I would drop my shy dog there a couple days a week. She was so freaked out by other dogs the first time I left her, I watched her sit by the gate in the small dog play yard all day on web cam. Coming here for long term boarding several times has really improved her confidence. I am thinking of using their new training program here to try to work on her issues a little more.

The best dog care/​boarding facility we have ever used. Friendly motivated dog-​loving staff (most bring their own dog to work with them), huge indoor play area where they regularly socialize/​play with the dogs, and even large secure outdoor area. Runs are spacious and roomy.
They also have a number of live hi-​res web cams you can look at anytime as well. Ive often watch my dog play/​interact live from a remote computer. It assuring to be able to do that.
Our dog never wants to leave, and is always pulling us in when we arrive! That the sign of a great facility.

I have a German Shepard, Brick, who plays here 3 days a week and she boards here 4 weeks a year. The people that work here makes this place great. They really care to take the time to get to know your dog and their characteristics.
Brick had an abnormal poop while there and they called me immediately. My husband and I left work to go get her and they had made an appointment with our vet for us. While at the vet they called to check on her. The vet couldn’t find anything wrong with her. I was planning to take her home and wait and see but they insisted on keeping an eye on her so we could go back to work. Never figured out what caused the issue and she was fine after that.
I can watch her on the camper cam while at work or on vacation. I can also message them on Facebook and ask about her while out of the country and they always have a quick reply.
At first, I was a little jealous about how happy she was to get there and jump up on the counter to see who was working and lick them in the face. (I know, we should have taught her not to jump up on people). When I really thought about it — what a great place… An extended family for dogs!
