Kim and John were an absolute pleasure to have come and pet sit my golden for me for two weeks over the Christmas break. They communicated clearly and were thorough in asking for special directions for Lexi to make sure she followed her regular routine and she was as healthy and happy as ever when I got home to her. They went above and beyond in all regards to this pet sit, and I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks Kim and John!

The best place to take care of your pup for the day! Friendly attentive staff. Great exercise and socialization for the pups. Hours are excellent for our busy schedule. Glad to be able to bring our fur kid there.
I started my dog at Bowlin Farms at about 7 months old and it did wonders socializing him and burning off his puppy energy! The Sunday socials are always a blast, and the staff is great.
Great staff, great facility. The only downside is my little beasty comea home a little dusty. Im always amazed how the pack are all running around happy and having fun. When we are pulling in my girl gets insanely excited!
Owners don’t care about their employees besides the 2 “managers”. One who is lazy, is high all the time and takes advantage of her position and the other who is young, has anger problems and is way too aggressive with some of the dogs. Myself and a few of the girls before me have brought up concerns of treatment of some of the dogs but they will not listen to it. Owner lives away (Ontario or out west) is a cop and is not friendly at all and as long as she’s getting her pay cheque she doesn’t care about anything anyone says. The other workers are great
Great welcoming Staff very respectful and professional,great with my Chico lots of room to play rates for Day care are very good Clean and Large play area’s
This is a great place for your dog to socialize and get tons of exercise, whether for half or a full day. Staff are great!
My dog loves his time at doggie day camp. The staff take great care of the dogs and are very friendly. The grounds are always clean and very spacious which allows lots of room for the dogs to run and play. Love the fact you can book for a few hours to a full day. Highly recommended!
My daughter works there. Way better than Jollytails.
We needed to take our 9 month old pup to Bowling several time while we were caring for my sick mother and they were very friendly and accommodating. Our pup had a great time playing with the other dogs and came home ready to rest! We will be back anytime.
Our dog loves this farm! We say, 'do you want to go play with the doggies?' And she bolts for the door! And when home is exhausted. Our favorite place to take her.
Angi-Lynn took great care of Buster for the weekend, he came home a happy dog and we were at ease knowing he was in great hands. Thanks again, much appreciated!!
I was away for almost 3 weeks and my little cat couldn't have been better cared for. Thank you so much!
My dog had a great time. Came home exhausted 😊 …
Very nice lady, my puppy was happy and content. Definitely recommended :)
She is lovely and always there in a pinch when I need her. I recommend for sure.
Food was good, but why over priced for pizza and donairs.
John and his team at Camp Bow Wow are absolutely amazing. Bruno loves to attend daycare with all his doggy friends. The care he receives is exceptional and I am worry free when he is in attendance. Knowing that I can enjoy my time away from Bruno while he’s enjoying his time, makes a world of difference. I highly recommend this doggy daycare! Thank you to John and staff!
The owner and the staff are amazing! They treat my Cooper like their own & he knows when we turn the corner he’s going to camp with his friends. I never have to worry when he’s there for the day or boarding.
I bring my 2.5 year old husky to the Dartmouth location regularly. She absolutely loves going and I feel extremely comfortable bringing her there for daycare as the owner and staff are very caring with all of the dogs. As she is a little higher in energy due to her breed she sometimes requires more attention and she definitely receives it. The dogs are very well cared for and she always comes home very happy and very tired. Definitely recommend.
The staff really care about the dogs and their well being. Our rescue was gently introduced to other dogs and looked after. I am looking forward to having my other dog go there.
We cannot find enough words to properly convey the praises we have for Camp BowWow Halifax. The management treats everyone like "family". The "camp counselors", are ALWAYS demonstrating that they are sincerely & genuinely excited to see our little guy, and are very happy to see us too. We just have to say the words..."Camp Bow Wow"....and our dog starts jumping and dancing and races to our front door, then runs to the car, to leave, and go there. If he's that happy, then we're that happy! John & Joanne Kerr ( and Kobi )
Our dogs love Camp Bow Wow, it really is place where a dog can be a dog!! The staff and facility are amazing, hours are great and prices are reasonable. We've used a few since arriving in NS, and in our opinion, it's the best Doggy Day Care in the area!!
Norman loves camp bow wow and you can tell the staff are truly dog lovers. They treat the campers like they're family and Norman is always so excited to see them.
I adopted a ‘bonded pair’ about a year and a half ago. Shortly after I got them I took them to Camp Bow Wow so that they could socialize with other dogs. One of my dogs (Bailey) got sick at daycare. I guess she was stressed from all the changes she had endured, and developed hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. The staff responded immediately and I was notified promptly. Just recently this bonded pair decided that they want to be single. Bailey became extremely attached to me. She would not let Blaze near me, tried to steal her food, and toys. The dogs won’t even tolerate being in the same house without becoming aggressive towards each other. Bailey went to live with my daughter. Camp Bow Wow is proving to be a great help re socializing her. She is learning to trust and interact with the staff, and is actively playing with the dogs there. She is a much happier dog now. I give the staff at Camp Bow Wow a lot of credit for the vast improvement in Bailey’s quality of life. When Blaze starts back in a couple of weeks I fully believe that she will benefit just as much.
My little man attends daycare Monday - Friday and some weekends (he has separation anxiety) and they love him as much as we do. He gets so excited to go, they treat him so well. I never worry about him being cared for, I know he’s 100% safe. My other two attend occasionally and they love it so so much!
I was nervous about how camp bow wow would go for our galgo Django / he’s an anxious dog and is reactive on leash so I really wasn’t sure he’d be a good fit. But John and the other staff were very reassuring and explained how gradual his introduction to the other dogs would go and of course he got along great. We were very thankful for their patience and professionalism and look forward to his next stay there in a month or so! PS it meant a lot that they still remembered our late dogs Rhoda and Rafter, who were frequent campers there - many years ago now!
Thank you Debbie and Kevin for providing affordable and quality dog boarding services. As fellow community members and dog parents we are super thankful and appreciate all that you do. We have two big dogs and they stayed at the country-side Kennels and Grooming for a week, and they were well cared for, would 1000% recommend.
I've used this kennel twice now and I'm so happy to know my dog and cat are safe and in good hands while I'm away. The farm atmosphere is beautiful.
We had our dog Stay there last year while we are gone for a week. It is a great place. The staff is awesome would highly recommend
Excellent service and our little yorkie loves to stay in and enjoy getting pampered almost as he was home. This is truly a great Pet hotel and customer service is always above and beyond our expectations. Definetly recommend to our family and friends.
Kevin and Debbie are amazing hosts to one of my best friend's two elderly dogs. I've been along to visit them several times now and they've treated us like family whenever we head to their farm to walk the dogs in their fields. Without the invaluable service they're providing us, I'd hate to think where they'd be. Reasonable rates coupled with the stellar service is 5+ stars, in my books!! Plus the chickens and horses are always very welcoming too ❤
Amazing place! The owners are always super friendly and accommodating! The dogs are very well looked after and we would recommend to anyone
Very pleasant and accommodating. I left my 2 pups here for 11 nights and they seemed to have had a positive experience despite being traumatized after me leaving them for so long. LOL I will bring them here again.
We’ve boarded our dog Wyatt here a few times now. The staff is very warm and friendly and we feel that Wyatt is in good hands when we drop him off. Thanks very much!
We have been using Country-Side for a number of years and dogs and they provide a great service in keeping our fur babies safe and sound when we are away.
Always friendly, reliable and punctual to return phone calls, which is appreciated as often we need a place for our dog at short notice.
Our sweet boy Axel absolutely ADORES playful pups and their staff. He loves romping around with his friends. He is treated like gold by Jen and her staff. 10/10 experience. They treat Axel and us like family, and we appreciate it so much. Can’t say enough positive stuff about this team. ♥️♥️
Large play areas for both small and large dogs. Lovely and knowledgeable staff. All of them great with the dogs. Pool for the dog to swim in on hot days. My dog Lilly get so excited when we pull into the parklot. She loves going. She comes home sleepy after a fun day of play and cuddles. The groomer is very patient with Lilly who hates getting Groomed. She look so cute 😍.
Had an incredible experience, my dog loved every minute! Look at that big smile! :) Thank you to Jen and the Playful Pups Doghouse Adventures! Friendly, welcoming, quick to respond, amazing system for booking days through Paw Partner! Your dog will be safe, snuggled and have a brilliant time! Highly recommended!
Wonderful, wonderful experience for my dogs. I simply mention the words "Playful Pups" and "Kayla" in the morning, and they lose their adorable minds. It's their favourite place on earth. The staff are incredible, friendly, knowledgeable, appreciative, and accommodating. So happy I discovered this amazing place for Clem and Ringo!
I don't know whats with that ignorant comment about the new dog groomer... I've gone to Marissa countless times to groom my dog before she even started working here. It started off as her wanting to get a good reference on my end, and I paid her for her time and the amazing effort she put in and I'm 100 percent glad i did! Because of the wonderful experience Marissa always gave me, I'm thinking about bringing my dog in to be groomed at Playful Pups and I don't even live in the area anymore. Marissa is fantastic and I've heard amazing things about this company! ❤ don't let one angry and jealous person ruin the experience, Marissa, and I'm sure the company is amazing!
I wouldn't trust my dog with anyone else. Jen is knowledgeable, dedicated, and loves every dog like they're her own. The daily reports cards and photos, and reasonable prices, provide peace of mind. Because of Playful Pups I have a happier, healthier, and better dog.
Great staff and services. My Cloudy has been developing some bad behaviour during our walks but with Leigh Ann’s help he is getting better! Pictures below are of Cloudy after coming home from doggy daycare. Huge place for the dogs to run around and play, also a separated area for big dogs and small dogs. Amazing place would highly recommend!
We've sent our dog to Jollytails, Petite Urban Pooch, and various other daycare and dog boarding services in the HRM. Jen and her team at Playful Pups are the best. Hands down. She has 2 small dogs, so she is very cognizant of the needs of small dogs, but every time I come, the larger dogs are having a blast and are well-supervised and cared for as well. She's also the most affordable in the HRM.
I left my two dogs here while on vacation and they loved it! They came home happy and tired, though I have a sneaking suspicion they would have been happier if I'd let them stay! Jen is just amazing with the dogs and you can tell they adore her!
We took our dog here four times. The first three were okay, but after the fourth day we ended up asking for our money back for the remainder of our pre-paid days. We showed up at 7 (when they open) and nobody was there. A couple minutes later Jen showed up with her three dogs and let us in. She told me she would have to move her car because I had parked in her spot, which meant she had to leave my dog unsupervised while she did that. She then realized that their pool had not been cleaned over the weekend and that it was dangerous for the dogs, so she tried moving them to the other room. Our dog didn't listen so she decided to hide from him, and then grab his collar as he walked by. This resulted in him biting her and bruising her skin. That is completely innapropriate dog handling, especially for a dog that she already knew didn't like being handled at all. We took our dog there so he could have positive experiences with people, and he got the opposite.
Top notch! I love my pups going to pampered paws! I always feel safe and not worried when my pups are there.
We take our boy Charlie here, and he loves it! The staff are really friendly and the fact that we can check in on him is a huge stress relief. We are very happy to have found such a great place!
My Maisey is so happy when she goes to Pampered Paws! She has lots of friends to play with and the staff are amazing!
If you want your dogs treated like family, look no further than Pampered Paws Inn. The staff is amazing and helpful with any questionsi had, the business is very clean and the webcam feature is great for me when I travel.
My two golden spent the May long weekend there. Love the outdoor play space so the dogs can have fun. Our dogs were excited to go there. I love the webcam so I can watch them if I want to. I like that when you message them they always respond. They took the time to send me photos and a video of my fur babies. I love that they have attendants outside with dogs at all times.
Absolutely wonderful experience each and every time we come here. Lexi is always treated with love and care. Even when she was sick and due for surgery in the coming weeks. Last time we left her there she slept for a good day, we had no doubt that she had a good stay with lots of fun and exercise.
I’ve always had wonderful experiences with Pampered Paws Inn. My chihuahuas have had traumatizing experiences at other boarding kennels in the past so it’s been such a relief to find a place that they’re comfortable & content. The staff have been always friendly & attentive; I really appreciate the webcam access to check in & give me peace of mind. I see other posts saying Pampered Paws doesn’t require proof of vaccinations but that’s not been my experience at all, as I’ve always been asked for the most recent proof of vaccinations for every kennelling stay. So grateful for Pampered Paws & would absolutely recommend them to anyone seeking daycare or boarding options.
Are dogs start to whine with excitement as soon as we get close to pampered paws. They have so much fun and when they come home they're tired and sleep really well. It's a win-win
While my dog has had fun attending daycare and the manager/staff were always pleasant, the professionalism of the owner is severely lacking. From being snarky over the phone when checking out if there was space for my dog (we live an hour away so check before we leave), to getting angry with me because my dogs collar and AirTag were pulled off and I tracked it to the daycare and called to get it back, to being downright rude during pickup, and now leaving evacuation of the dogs to the very last second causing complete chaos shows the lack of professionalism and care for the dogs & staff. Getting to the point of having someone running through the woods to get animals out is absolutely negligent on the owners behalf. I know that my dog will not be returning, what if this happened again and she waiting two minutes too long? I wouldn’t risk my animals life when every other daycare in the area was already packing up dogs and getting out in a safe and timely manner.
This is an amazing place for your pet to stay. The staff are excellent with the pets. It was very comforting for my wife and I to be able to check in on our pup during his stay via the live action cameras. So many good things to say! Very clean, staff on site 24 hrs., lots of room to run in the caged yard. Excellent prices too!
The staff at PUP are lovely and really get to know the dogs that visit. They go above and beyond with accommodating on short notice and keep their social media stories updated all day so you can see your pup having fun!
Melissa is awesome, she treats dogs like kids. She is friendly, responsible and they love her. She texts pictures of them often and gives them lots of cuddles, play time and attention. Was able to relax and enjoy my vacation, and so were they! 😊 …
I just moved to Halifax and was worried that I m not able to find a good daycare for my small Shih Tzu but Petite Urban Pooch has been perfect place for my doggo. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff and can connect in a timely manner. Safe and fun environment highly recommend!
Love this place. I take my puppy there at least once a week. Amazing staff that truly love animals. My Bentley always gets super excited when he finds out he's going there and can't wait to see the other dogs.
The team at Petite Urban Pooch are always excited to welcome our dog. They’re very responsive and are able to accommodate short notice bookings, which I really appreciate. I love seeing their instagram posts and updates throughout the day.
Daycare management and staff are very responsive and super friendly to dogs. Perfect for small dogs and highly recommend!
It was Nuri's first time in a daycare and she had a blasted time with other friends! Thank you for the great time
I can't begin to tell you about the total love that Cindy and Nik show for our Max. It was so hard to leave him for two weeks but they took such amazing care of him - sending us lots of pics and notes to tell us how Max was doing. He was out with them, everywhere they went - and got lots of love and attention - and yes - sleeping in the bed. He loved his slumber pawty with Bella and Blue. Because Max is wee, they are very conscious of when play time is too much for him - making sure that he has his quiet time too. We're so lucky to have such amazing people taking care of our boy.
Did a great job on the cut the first visit, groomer was really friendly, price was really fair, and my dog was really happy leaving. I am disappointed with their customer service on my appointments following as it was really unprofessional. My father booked an appointment and they never answered to confirm the appointment and so he didn't go. After that because I had such a great experience I myself and my dads dogs for a cut thinking it was a one off. When we tried to call the day prior to confirm again she hadn't answer. We thought they were busy and if anything was different they would let us know so we went. When I got to the appointment the groomer wasn't even there. No one had called or tried to contact either of us though they had our emails and number. There was no reason for the cancellation given other than the groomer wasn't there. Disappointed because it was a good experience the first time.
My dog Penny is an older dog and a rescue. She is very timid, and just cant handle being around big dogs if they are playing so i was so thankful to find Petite Urban Pooch. I feel safe leaving her with Morgan and her staff. I send her once a week to get her out socializing with other dogs and i have seen a big difference in her since going. She gets super excited when we get out of the car and realizes she is going to PUP. :) The doggy socials are also really great time for you and your dog to meet new friends. Plus if there are puppies at the social, would doesn't want to cuddle with puppies :)
