We’ve been using this camp location to help care for our boxers for just about a year now. This location is always tidy, clean, and welcoming! The girls at the front desk are so kind and always offer helpful suggestions to improve the dogs stay. They’re great at sending reminders for updating vaccines, and they even offer the semi-annual at the location which is awesome if we forgot on our end — they can just do it there! Our boys get super excited for their stays as soon as we pull into the parking lot! We’ve done doggy day care and boarding, and since we have two dogs that stay together we likely to book the suite for them. The cameras allow us to check in on the pups during the day so we can have extra reassurance that they’re happy (they always are!) and well taken care of. We will continue to be campers here for years to come!
Harlow always has the best time at camp! I love the option for her to get extra one on one enrichment. Thanks for taking care of our girl!
This place was great, until my dog got bit by another dog at daycare. The “manager” called us in complete and utter panic mode (not very comforting to hear). This resulted in a $2000 vet bill & we received absolutely no help from camp bow wow. They refused to provide us with an incident report of what happened or the footage of the incident. We received the other dog owners contact information, however we were preparing for the worst if we had to sue the other dog owner. Camp bow wow handled this horribly & had zero sympathy for what happened on their watch. DO NOT RECCOMEND . Choose a doggie daycare where the contract clearly states that the dog owner will be responsible for any damage/injury to another dog, property, or employee, it will save you down the road trust me.
I had a bad experience the only time I used the dogs stop. It's nice to have a company you can trust with your furr babies! We usually use camp bow wow north but Mia was unbearable today and they were booked up. Camp bow wow east took them, it's great that Mia and Milo have access to all camp bow wows. This was our first time using the monroeville one, they were great!
After a friend recently posted about their dog not having the best treatment while there i realized I never shared our issues publicly, only on our own fb pages. Our boxer was attacked the video clearly shown that she was not the aggressor. The owner of the other dog paid our vet bill. But the sad truth is, we were 1300 miles away, our dog was attacked and camp bow wow refused to drive my dog to the vet, our vets office was 3 miles away and the vet offered to rreat her and keep her till we could get home or make other arrangements. Yet camp bow wow refused to assist. So if my dog is attacked and I'm clearly traveling and boarding my dog with you and she is attacked with lacerations on her throat, back of head and ears are tore up they still refused to assist. Sorry but that isnt a good enough service. If my dog got.injured where she is boarding while I'm away you need to take her to the vet, even more so when I'm giving full permission, literally begging for her to be taken onky for them to refuse. I had to find family close enough to assist. We have never taken our dogs back, we have never even received a refund for the rest of the stay or the grooming we paid for.
My pups love being at camp Bow wow east! I never gone into a place and they didn’t go crazy! They were absolute so comfortable with them the first time they were there!
My Billy Ray seemed to take quickly to the environment at Camp Bow Wow. The staff were friendly and made me comfortable leaving my pup there for the day. I like the setup and the staff really seem engaged.
I've been taking my shy, reserved pup here for boarding for a few years. They've worked with her on each visit so that she's more relaxed and she doesn't stress now. They are super attentive and don't hesitate to reach out if anything seems different. They spoil her and now, when we arrive, she whines until they take her to play! When I had a family emergency recently, they were amazing about working with me, with uncertain pickup dates and last minute boarding reservations so she could maintain a routine while everyone else had chaos.
Love this place and so does my dog! I know she’s always in good hands when she’s either boarded there or just hanging out at daycare! The employees there are always so nice too
My dog loves coming here! We love the cameras to check on her, the flexibility with grooming, the staff is great and the pricing is affordable! Highly recommend.
Much different from the Camp Bow Wow I know from Maryland. I’ve taken my 3 dogs a few times here while I was temporarily living in the area. Their play yards are not large. They have multiple yards, but seems to me only 1 is utilized as the main yard at a time. Is there not enough people to supervise the dogs? There are too many dogs packed in one yard. You could easily split the dogs in different groups based on breed/size/temperament and put them in different yards. One of my 3 dogs was allegedly aggressive the last time they were there. Funny, he is actually the friendliest of the 3 and most timid. Perhaps this location was too overwhelming for him. All my dogs have been to many doggy daycares in multiple states. Never had this concern before. My pups have a lot of energy, but a decent daycare should be able to handle it!
Bailey and I had a great experience here. Caty was an incredible instructor that really give me the tools and knowledge necessary to train my puppy. I do intend on coming back for phase 1 sessions In the future. Overall, I would strongly recommend anyone going to caty for dog draining as she is the real deal!
My only experience with Camp Bow Wow was with their Level 1 Puppy Class since our puppy wasn’t quite ready to stay there for the day camp. Catey, the trainer, was patient and engaging during the sessions. I could tell how much she truly loves dogs - even our puppy who doesn’t like when strangers touch him. She had a lot of good hints and tricks for how to help him with his lack of self-confidence. We had a nice group of puppies and owners, too, so it was a good experience overall.
Melissa called me a few days into a week-long stay to tell me my dog was having stomach issues overnight. I really appreciated how they kept me informed and took special care of my dog feeding her rice and pumpkin to help make her more comfortable. They also returned her bed cleaned and good as new. I am very thankful for their above and beyond service.
I will say we did use them once for boarding years ago and didn’t have any issues and that the facility seems clean. Unfortunately, for them, they now offer an interview to meet the staff and allow you to view their webcams to let you see what really goes on day to day—which appears to be bored dogs without water or a place to lay comfortably. My recent observations from the cameras are there is absolutely no stimulation for any of the dogs; the play areas don’t show any water bowls; and there doesn’t seem to be places to lay down. The only things dogs seem to do is follow the person with the treats around the pen and maybe climb stairs. If your dog is lazy, it doesn’t appear there is anywhere for them to rest or lay down, so your dog is simply roaming all day trying to avoid being jumped/nipped at. If your dog gets thirsty, who knows maybe they’ll get sprayed with a water bottle since that is the only water I could see. If your dog happens to be active or enjoys play—this is likely also not likely the place for them. To make an extra buck, they will try to sell you a 6-week behavior class when your dog wants to play or gets nipped at for attempting to interact with other dogs. If the nipping dogs have been through these courses or if the person offering these courses doesn’t see a problem with the nipping dog, I am definitely not going to be enrolling my dog in the courses you’re trying to upsell. I highly recommend popping into the webcams before booking to see that most dogs are not “playing” in the “play yards” and to see the lack of water/rest areas. I also recommend meeting the staff to see how they interact with your pet and to see how little they seem to understand the animals they work with.
Mickey loves every experience he has had at Camp Bow Wow. He has done Day Camp, Boarding, and training. Catey is an awesome trainer! She does a great job of making the skills she is teaching easy to understand. Although it is a group class she gets to know the dogs and their needs and quirks (owners too!). We always feel like we are getting individual instruction. We have taken Level I and Level II classes, and look forward to Level III.
Staff is friendly, love the web cam feature so I can check in!! Puppy gets to play all day and is nice and tired at the end of her play time 😁 Update: Lucy just had her first overnight stay, and loved it. Added some extra ‘cuddle time’ to her stay, and got an email at bedtime telling me how her day went, including pictures of the staff reading her bedtime stories during cuddle time. Such a relief to have somewhere to take her when we have to go away overnight; the staff takes such good care of my fur baby!!
We love that our dog Coco loves Camp Bow Wow. She gets so excited every time we leave the house in the morning because she knows that means she's going to daycare. We feel confident boarding our dog with them as well, knowing she is well taken care of.
I highly recommend Camp Bow Wow! I have used Camp Bow Wow - Southwest (Greentree) for boarding, daycare, and training. The facility is nice and the staff took their time with our dogs to acclimate them to daycare. We always see a familiar face when dropping our dogs off, which is comforting. When we board our dogs they send photo updates during their enrichment sessions so we can see how much fun they are having. Catey led our training class and she was knowledgeable and fun. Our youngest dog graduated from her Level 1 training and we look forward to Level 2 with Catey!
Alright, so we have been coming here for the last two years. They have typically done a great job. However, today is a different story. My significant other arrived at 953 to pick up our dogs, I was not feeling well and elected to stay behind. She was met with an open door, a sign that said the business was open until 10, and an individual at the counter. This individual informed my significant other that the facility was closed and that we could pick our dogs up at 4 pm when they open again. Mind you, there were still 7 minutes left until they were scheduled to close. I would understand if this was a resturant or an establishment were your property and family pet were not being taken care of. To quite literally deny my significant other of the ability to take what is rightfully ours home is completely unacceptable. I will follow up with what the manager and owner say. ------------------------------- Follow up a few hours later. Spoke with the owner, who looked into everything. After talking with the owner, it's clear that they are understanding of the emotions as well as the disappointment in the service. They are looking back to see how often this has been happening and will be dealing with the situation.
I highly recommend Comfy Dog Club to dog owners. My French bulldog stayed there for a week while we were on vacation and he absolutely loved it. Michelle is very detail oriented, reliable and trustworthy. She sends out a report card at the end of the stay, which is informative and adorable. Their place is clean, very secure and is a lot of fun. Huge fenced in backyard and her own pets are very sweet and friendly. She will pick up and deliver your pet! All around 5 five star service!
Our cavapoo Ruby just spent 10 days at Comfy Dog Club for her first time away from home. We were nervous about how she would do but Michelle took such good care of her. We could tell from all the pictures and videos that she was having nothing but fun. Ruby made many new doggy and people friends while she was there and we couldn't be happier! It's nice to know that Michelle is now our go-to if we ever need a place where our pup can feel at home and have a great time, too!!
DuMontier's Doggy Daycare has been a savior for our family. :-) They care for older dogs and smaller dogs and its the perfect spot for my two old timer labs. I have used them multiple times to board my labs while we travel. (You can even see daily photos of your pups on their Facebook Page while you are away.) Michelle is as sweet as can be and will taxi my labs to her house and back again! I highly recommend boarding your dogs with Michelle.
Michelle takes great care of my Beagle Buddy! He absolutely loves running around the large fenced in yard with her dogs and all of the little friends he has made there. I'm always comfortable taking Buddy there and I never worry while I am away because I know Michelle will treat him like her own. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior and she genuinely cares about all of her clients and their needs. I am very happy we were referred to Dumontier's!!
I am so happy to have found DuMontier's!! Michelle genuinely cares about every dog she has. My dog loves going and enjoys running around the secure fenced in yard. Not to mention all friends he has made there plus all the attention he gets. I never worry about him and know Michelle gives him great care. Also rates are very reasonable and easy to complete. DuMontier's Doggy Daycare is the best!
We have been using this service for years for both daycare and for boarding when we are away and it truly is the best pet care service in Pittsburgh. It is a home away from home for our dogs and we never have to worry. Our dogs are treated with lots of love like they are family there which gives us great peace of mind when we are traveling. We always say we would be lost without Michelle because it's hard to find someone you trust to care for your fur babies. I definitely recommend this service!!
We love Michelle, so thankful we found her, would not take our Bailey anywhere else. Michelle treats her just like her own dogs and makes you so comfortable when you leave them with her. She will also come to your home to feed or walk your dog if needed. Bailey has been going to Michelle's for about four years now and even though it is so hard to leave her I am confident that she is loved and well taken care of.
Michelle provides a wonderful environment for my dogs, Frank and Mimi. I wanted to find a homey place for them while I was at work all day that wasn’t institutional. Michele is exactly that. They love going there everyday because it’s her they’re going to be with, and not an array of assistants. Within days she knew my dogs, that Frank was a cuddler and Mimi was a runner. It showed me she spends time with them individually. The yard and the house, the dogs have access to both inside and outside, are beautiful, a perfect home away from home. My guys are excited to go there and excited to come home. Also, equally important, Michelle doesn’t over extend herself. Your dogs are never going to get lost in the crowd there because she doesn’t let that happen. She carefully schedules her crew so you can always feel comfortable that your fur balls are going to be safe and tended to.
I don't know what I would do without Comfy Dog Club! Michelle is so great at meeting your dogs needs, whatever they may be. I have an anxious little beagle and an mischievous bulldog mix who climbs onto chairs and tables...Michelle just rolls with it! The pics/videos she posts during their stay are a great reminder to me that my dogs are happy while we are away. Thanks again Comfy Dog Club
Michelle's doggy daycare services are the "gold standard" in Pittsburgh. Our 2 dogs have been visiting DuMontier's for daycare and sleepovers for years and it is the only place we trust. She goes above and beyond to ensure that every dog feels loved and at home. I highly recommend her services for all of your dog-sitting needs!
Competitive prices, hours are good and the people there are just great with my dog. She loves it there, it's like a little vacation when I take her over for a weekend or few days when I'm going to be out of the house too long to leave her alone. They have always been great with any concerns or anything going on with my dog and communicate very well. I live nearby so that's easy for me, location is great, just off the Warredale exit of 79 and not far from the Wexford exit also. They also offer in home services, and recently got a groomer there with her own hours. If you are looking for a place for your pet, check them out, they have been really great for my dog.
PLEASE READ !! ** We took our chocolate lab puppy here twice to board. This second visit is one I wish I could undo. Our dog came home limping on his back left paw, you can see some marks on this paw in the attached image. Furthermore, his pee upon arrival home was extremely dark as if he had not been given water for quite some time and was scarfing down his food which is highly abnormal for him. When I called and questioned the woman on the phone and asked when the last time he was fed and given water, she initially said "this morning" and then started jumbling her words together and changing her story. Mind you, it was nearly 5:30 PM when we picked him up. Lastly, the man that brought our dog out to us at the front desk was hoisting our dog up by his collar to walk him as he was visibly struggling to breathe and coughing. Meanwhile the leash we brought was in his other hand serving apparently no purpose. I'm wondering, if that's how they treat our dog in front of us, what is going on behind closed doors ?? A day after dropping our dog off, I called and asked if he could be bathed due to the smell and dirt from the last time we took him here. The woman replied by saying that was an impossible task due to his high energy. My dog and I both weigh roughly 100 pounds and I can bathe him here at home with no problem. So I'm wondering how a dog place such as this one is unable to perform such a simple task. Overall, I would not recommend this place to anyone who considers their dog more than just a wild animal. Be prepared for an outdated and very dirty location, not to mention the lack of care from the owners and staff. We recently moved here and I can assure you this will not be the location where our dog is cared for, I would rather drive the 45 minutes to our old kennel any day before taking him back here. Highly disappointed and still wondering what went on in the few days we were gone.
Excellent care, David was very accommodating to our dates, my dog was always happy to see him, I would recommend them anytime, David went above and beyond his duties, thanks Dave
Dropped two Golden Retrievers off over the Christmas Holidays. My wife and I found the owners thoughtful and conscientious, and the were well cared for. We even picked them up a day early due to a change in travel plans without issue.
Amazing!!! As a new dog owner, I’m was not comfortable leaving my dog anywhere. However, that is not my issue anymore! When I dropped off my dog I noticed the dog kennels are extremely clean and well kept. The owner is professional and very knowledgeable about all animals in general. It made my family feel comfortable to know that our baby was in good hands! Will use them again and again!
The staff Donna Dave and Michael have been taking excellent care of my dogs through out the years. They provide excellent care in a friendly clean environment. They understand missing your pet too. The dogs enjoy their vacation at Rustic Ridge ...tails wag upon our arrival. A professional animal provider will call should a concern arise and take the pet to the vet. if necessary; all while keeping you up dated. The best for my pet.
The runs are basic and allow the dogs access to the outside when the door is lifted. They offer extra services, including 30 minutes of playtime each day. I asked for the additional playtime when I dropped my dog off for a week long stay but she didn't receive it, she also seemed more stressed when I picked her up than when she stayed at other kennels. The price us reasonable but I'll look elsewhere next time I need to board my dog.
I have brought all my dogs here throughout the years and I will continue as needed. Can’t beat the price! My dogs love to go in and out all the time and that’s what they got, with the door they go as they wanted. I feel it is very clean and staff was professional and personable. I drive a little further as I have moved, but this is my dogs vacation resort!
We have been boarding our dogs with Rustic Ridge since 1980. The owners have been wonderfull to deal with. My dogs have been exited to arrive, greeting whoever is in the office. They have always come home in very good condition and, obviously, well fed. The kennels are spacious, with both indoor and outdoor space.
We've been taking our dog here for years. It's run by a wonderful family who truly enjoys my dog. I feel like they take great care of him.
Andrea is fantastic!! The best trainers can break behaviors down into small pieces and help you and your dog be successful every step of the way:) I have asked Andrea to train ton of new things and her creativity and inventiveness are impressive. My dog has been in in her momentum program for years and grew up learning calming skills, impulse control, reflexive responses to cues, and joy in training.
Andrea always makes her classes interesting for the dogs and their parents. Our Scout loves her scent classes!
My dogs and I have experienced nearly every level of Andrea's training program, and we recommend her at every opportunity. Andrea has helped rehabilitate my reactive dog through her Control Unleashed curriculum. When I brought in a new puppy, she attended the Momentum Day School program, where she learned everything from scent work (in which she is now titled), to retrieval, to proper dog interactions, to the foundation for a solid recall. Her group classes and online seminars are also met with constant support. Highly recommend for LIMA training.
MoonwalkersDog Training is amazing! Andrea does such a wonderful job; we cannot say enough great things about her. She's so knowledgeable, patient, and kind. You can tell she loves what she does, and she loves all the dogs! Every puppy should enroll in the Momentum Program. Our golden retriever learned social skills, scent work, retrieval, and fundamental skills. The online videos allow us to continue training and learning at home. So many people have mentioned how well-behaved our beautiful boy is, and we give all the credit to Moonwalkers and Andrea.
Andrea and her staff have helped me raise two puppies. They really know and love your dog and share all the joys, frustrations and sorrows of raising a terrific companion. Andrea offers practical solutions to modify troubling behavior at home and follows up with additional training at the center. One on one sessions with her are incredibly productive. I highly recommend Moonwalkers.
Andrea and her staff worked with me and my puppy to help him move from a fearful, anxious little puppy to a social and playful one. He has a totally different personality now and loves being around people and other dogs. More importantly, Andrea and her staff helped me to understand the signs and behaviors that indicate fear and showed me how to help my dog relax in uncertain situations. I would (and have) recommend Moonwalkers Pet Services to anyone interested in raising a happy and well balanced dog.
Andrea is an amazing trainer!! Her day training program is like none other! I loved apprenticing under her and watching her work her magic on a whole room of dogs using only positive methods of training!! I cannot wait to take my own dog to her now for some classes!
Andrea is a wonderful dog trainer ! She’s helped us with our puppy since she’s been 8 weeks old. We now have a 9 month old puppy who for her age is very well behaved. We also have learned the tools needed to be successful in training our puppy ! I would recommend her to anyone have dog issues
We came to Moonwalkers on a recommendation from another trainer who suggested enrolling our shy and fearful dog in the Inscentives classes to build her confidence. Since then we have enrolled her in a variety of other classes such as Recall, Proof It, and private sessions, and our dog responds really well to Andrea's positive training methods. I only wish we would have started bringing our dog here sooner!
A +R trainer she was essential in showing us the tools to get my dog reactive dog adjusted to the new puppy that joined the family. She truly cares and believes strongly in her successful methods. She came highly recommended by a well respected dog advocate in the area. She keeps her classes small to help provide individualized attention in a group setting.
