Best Dog Day Care Center Springfield Near Me

Jennifer Pratt: Can't say enough good things. The staff are friendly and our pups come home happy and tired. Our pups can be timid around people and interacting with the staff and doing enrichments has helped them quite a bit.

Mike T: My dog loves it here!

Amarette Talbot: Our boy LOVES going to camp! We have always felt guilty leaving him when we go out of town - but his reaction every time we pull into the parking lot in reassurance that he's not going to miss us much!We get to watch him throughout the day with the camper cameras - he gets to play and socialize - they ensure the play yard is safe for all of the pups - they have food toppers to entice anxious pups to eat while there - they offer basic grooming options so you can bring home a clean pup.We have been very pleased with our experiences at CBW!

kathy Moeckel: Buddy, Belle and Ranger love their time at Camp Bow Wow! The staff is so warrm and welcoming and the doggos love them!

Darlene Kendall: Had a not so good experience the first time I took my dog for a bath, due to having him at a location that did not have the equipment to properly clean him. I made my complaint, and the owner contacted me and went above and beyond to correct the situation. I know mistakes happen. It means everything to me to know that they take accountability, and do what they can to make it right. I give 5 stars , not only did my dog come back sparkley clean, the people are super nice. I will come back for a spa day. and will be adding the enrichment activity to his day. I think it really helped ease his grooming anxiety. Thank you so much!

Lexi George: They care about your pets so much!! They will send photos on the dogs first day of school to show you that they are doing a good job!! I love that anytime I feel anxious about how my dog is doing, I can just check the live cameras that they have set up!

azadeh sabz: I went to the place as a new customer to get more information, and received very strange behavior from the staff. They were so impatient and ignorant that I left the place after two minutes.

Charlene Webb: Super friendly and assuring staff.Kush is always happy to get there and ready for bed that night 🤣I also live being able to keep an eye on him through the day

Sam May: We drove three hours from our home for a weekend getaway in Branson. In doing so, we rented the only property we could find that was dog friendly, so we could bring our pup. We scheduled for him to have two play days at the Springfield camp bow wow. He stayed for probably 4 hours each day. After picking him up the first day, we found out that it was $36 each visit. Their website says $30. My local camp bow wow is $25 for a FULL day. I researched every single camp bow wow in Missouri, and the most expensive is this one, followed by one that is $30. Every other camp bow wow on the state of Missouri is between $25 and $27 for a full day. Some even range as low as $18 for 5 hours or less. I called camp bow wow after the first day as asked why it was $36 when their website said $30, and they said that they raise it to $36 on the weekends. Please keep on mind that this is NOWHERE on their website. When I explained this to the girl over the phone, her only response was "sorry, but I don't set the prices." I then stated that I would write a review to make people aware of this before taking their animals there, and she replied with "that's fine, have a nice day" and hung up. My local camp bow wow charges $40 to board. Essentially, we could have paid $4 more than what we did pay to board our dog and not have to pay extra for an airbnb that was pet friendly, and cart our dog 3 hours away. Literally for $4 more.

Alison Jasper: We take our three dogs here every time we go on a trip. We know that they are well taken care of and have lots of time to run around and play. They are never cooped up in a cage. I love that they have cameras where I can watch the dogs!! The staff is very friendly and attentive.

Secret Shopper: Avoid this unless you hate your pet. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Luke O'Dell: My dog loves coming here! Awesome place! Staff is awesome and super friendly!

Steve P: Great staff and our pups love going there!

Noel Hall: Was referred by a neighbor, called several times and no answer. Filled out the information on the website and no response. Either this place is closed down, or they really don't want new business. I would suggest looking elsewhere.

C Cunningham: They took good care of my friends dog

Tay™ meeduuusssaaa: This is our second consecutive incident with Camp Bow Wow- where we dropped our dog off overnight for camp, they did not give him the two blankets provided seeing how they were folding exactlyyyyy the way we dropped it off with him, they lied by saying he gave them his food however he just grazed over it giving us back one full bag of food. Our dog threw up food that was not his, looked like canned food. The second incident being his nail had gotten smashed into a door or stepped on causing the nail to break, he then was put into the kennel until we came to pick him up unbeknownst to his owners that this has happened. We had to take him to the vet the following day due to the severity of the broken nail. Camp Bow Wow used to be a place we raved to all of our fellow dog owners, albeit over time the service has gone down while the prices have gone up.

Kim Wilson: I feel they had too many dogs at one time. They didn’t interact with the dogs very often., Only to clean up their messes and just stand around. They were in the kennels Way too long. I blared my dogs for eight nights. Just didn’t They were very personal with my babies. The outdoor was very small for very active dogs.

Heather Fleming: Always happy with their service, they put you at ease whether you are boarding your pet or just bringing them there to socialize. Thank you Camp now wow for your amazing service and making my dog feel loved. I will continue to use Camp bow wow throughout the country when I’m traveling. Not only that all their facilities have cameras to check in on your pet when you wonder how they are doing. BIG BONUS !!!!

Kristin S.: Our pup loves coming here to play and we feel like he's in good hands when we need boarding.

Michael Kindel: We recently went on vacation and left our beloved 8 year old lab mix at Camp Bow Wow in Springfield Missouri. We couldn't have been happier with the results. The place is kept spotless, with dogs having the freedom to spend time inside or outside whenever they want. The dogs seemed to be grouped by personality, which leads to them getting along with each other, and they get a lot of personal attention from the handlers. There are web cams in each grouping that allow the dog owners to look in on their dogs during the day. I brought my own food for my dog, and she was fed as per my instructions, making her stay as routine as possible, but they will provide food. We are already planning our next vacation and Macy's next stay at Camp Bow Wow.

Melissa Franco: Took care of my two handfuls for 10 long days and nights. The dogs came home happy and healthy. They made it very easy for us to leave and not worry.

Melissa Morrison: My sweetie always comes back looking her best after getting groomed!

C Cologna: Jack loves coming here and being with friends.

Jamie Goddard: Our babies are always happy here.

ralph ferguson: Scout loves her days at Happy Tails!

Clifford Collis: Princeton absolutely love’s coming here! Sometimes for the day, and has spent the night here multiple times. The staff is awesome!

mackenzie Schmid: We used to love happy tails, and have been boarding our dogs here off an on for the last 4/5 years. But the last two times we have boarded our dogs, one dog has come back with noticeable injuries that staff didn’t communicate with us about. The first time I figured it was a fluke, but when I called about our concerns the second time after returning home, I never received a call back. This did occur a while ago, so maybe staff or training has improved, but it was so disheartening for us and we won’t be returning to happy tails.

Jan Long Connelly: The crew is first rate, care deeply about the work they do, and were extremely helpful in caring for our kitties during our cross country move. We additionally had to make arrangements for our kitties to be picked up by a transportation service, and the Happy Tails team handled the process without a hitch. Wonderful group and would highly recommend!

Troy Benjamin: Had an emergency while traveling and they took care of my dog.

Stefanie Mead: We left our 2 cats here for boarding for 1 week. As a momma, I cried when we left, but seeing them when we showed up and knowing everything we had requested for them had been done was wonderful. We are a forever customer. Highly recommend!!!!

Adam Strieby: Great people who really care about your family members.

Al Ogden: Great people, who definitely care about dogs. We really feel comfortable leaving our dog here. Keep up the excellent work, it is appreciated.

A. Sch.: I am so pleased with the facility and staff. The man in charge is very knowledgeable and attentive. They are so thorough in monitoring the dogs...even took my dog next door to the vet to check out a bump on his toe. Very pleased with the attention and care my boy receives.

Adam Beets: Always a good experience for the dogs.

John Dodson: Awesome place!

Emily Downen: My dog loves going, super friendly.

Gregg Bender: Good place to groom and kennel your pets. They are aligned with RescueOne all breed rescue, as well.

Thomas choices: How does a dog know it is Friday? I do not know either. Penelope sure knows when it is Friday. She cannot wait to see her friends at Happy Tails. The staff here have been extremely accommodating and flexible to help fill our dog's needs. Great place and getting to talk to other individuals and their experiences bringing their own pets will sell anyone.

Stephen Larson: For the most part this place has really come through. We were a bit skiddish towards Big Leo, but this place welcomed him and he loves it there now.

Kyle McGinnis: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Reliability,Responsiveness,ValueTom and his crew at Happy Tails always offer us amazing service when planning daycare, grooming, and boarding for our dog. We've been customers of theirs for a couple of years now and I don't plan on going anywhere else. I always have peace of mind when my boy stays at Happy Tails - and he's a nervous one, so that means a lot!

Tom Cannon: Can’t say enough about how great their staff are at taking care of your pup in a great facility and location. We have taken two of our dogs to the east location since it opened and one dog to their west location for years before that. We love being able to check in on the pups while traveling and knowing they are being cared for very well.

Debra “Deb” Bentlage: My Sparky always has fun and comes home so happy!!

Cindy Reed: The staffing is amazing. You can tell they really care. My dog is a completely different dog since we started coming.

Denale Willis: Camp Bow Wows provide great socialization and numerous enrichments that gives my ACD (aka Blue Heeler) a great experience which wears him out mentally and physically. Springfield East location has amazing staff, they keep me updated, take the cutest pics of my boy and Keegan enjoys spending time with them....he runs enthusiastically to their front which I can never get open for him fast enough....lol. I highly recommend Camp Bow Wow Springfield East for day care, boarding and grooming services.

Shirley Wheeler: They take very good care of Clark, and he always seems happy to go there.

Gale Wheeler: Very friendly and met my needs. My dog Skeeter seemed to do real well there.

Ybel Yap: Very professional. Nachos loves them..we are now living in another state and will check the Camp bow wow location over here. Thanks!

Maria Rusk: I take my pup here once or twice a week. They let him run around and play get a bath and his nails done and he can have someone on one time. By the time I'm ready to pick him up he is wore out and he is always happy when he comes in.

Tiffany Martin: My husband and I have often chosen to not travel if we couldn’t take our dogs, but Camp Bow Wow East has helped us ease the anxiety of boarding. Both of our dogs do so great there. The camp counselors are great about following our feeding protocols and have even gone above and beyond to make sure we are comfortable with the care they receive while we are gone. What was once stressful is now an easy solution.

Deb Simpson: The staff were helpful from the first phone call to changing a booking to our first day, and sent me updates on my dog Jed's day with pictures of him. I love that I could see him on camera and he was very happy to go back. This is the EAST location.

Alison Fleming: On boarding, the Camp East looked after our 5 year old cocker spaniel as if he was their own, couldn't have asked for a better service. He had a cruciate injury at the time and when we picked him up after a couple of weeks he was so much the better for his stay there!

Victorian Rose: Absolutely the best. I can go away & know my dog is safe, loved & very well taken care of.

Jo: I made a call for my friend today. She brings her dog to the east location. I was watching the cameras for her this morning and noticed one of the girls there was being aggressive in yard 1, shoving them down and yelling at them. The woman on the phone said her name was Lauren and was extremely rude even though I was being nice considering the circumstances. I relayed the info and she told me that I was wrong, and needed to know my dogs name. It's not my dog, so I didn't feel comfortable telling her, especially because I was worried they would treat her unfairly if they knew. So I explained that I didn't feel comfortable since the girl was doing it to other dogs, so I don't understand why it matters which dog. She got very hateful, said I was wrong and hung up on me mid sentence! I have a dog of my own, and if I ever need to board her I absolutely won't be going here!!

Rochelle Wertz: NOT ALL CAMP BOW WOWS ARE THE SAME.I will never set foot in this location again. The Springfield Camp Bow Wows do not follow the standard protocol and doggy care we’ve experienced at other locations across the country. Our sweet bully breed passed the interview in Georgia with flying colors. I called Springfield East to make a reservation (we would be vacationing in the area), and they indicated she would need to have another interview. I was a little disappointed, but agreed anyway. When we brought her in for the interview, it was clear the Camp Counselor hadn’t read our dog’s intake form. Our dog was kenneled for 2 hours (stressful) before the introduction. They brought her into a yard and made her meet another dog immediately without giving her time to get used to the smells of the yard, or relax from being in the kennel, and was kept on her leash. From the video, you could tell the Camp Counselor was afraid of our 80-pound dog. We called immediately, since our dog has some leash aggression from being beaten by her previous owners and should not be introduced on a lead. They apologized for not reading the intake form, and agreed to reintroduce her off-leash. They reintroduced her to an old fragile greyhound, and again were afraid of my strong dog. They did not pass her the second time, but agreed to keep her for our full reservation (just without play time), and would re-test her the following morning when she was more relaxed. They said either way, they would text us with an update following the re-test. By 1:30 the following day, I had not received any update. I also noticed she was not in any yards, and did not get “off-time” exercise as promised. We cancelled our vacation and the reservation a day early. When we picked up our dog, they gave us the dog bed we left and the food before bringing her out. Her dog bed was not warm, which means it was never in the kennel with her. This location is a gross misrepresentation of the great franchise that is Camp Bow Wow, from experiences in Nevada, Tennessee, Ohio, and Georgia. This office should be ashamed of themselves and embarrassed to call themselves dog lovers.

kim ritter: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,ValueMy dogs appeared very happy while they were there and being able to view them on the app helped ease my mind. Overall it was a good experience

Anna Coker: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,ReliabilityI feel that Beau is very well cared for at Camp Bow Wow. He gets excited when he knows he is going.I feel comfortable leaving him when I am away over night.

Christopher Gross: Our one yr old puppy, Loki, loved his time at Camp Bow Wow. He made some friends and got to play for hours. I love that I can login and see him on video any time I want.

Rebecca Swindell: It is great to be able to log in and see my girl playing and having fun, not being caged all day. The staff is very accomodating, thank you all!

Pam Buesing: The staff were very friendly and took very good care of our Jublee and Bella!!! We will definitely be back!!!

Dakota L: I would not recommend this facility to anyone looking for boarding unless your ok with your dog being kenneled for 18 hours a day. They offer daycare services from 7am-7pm but the dogs are kenneled 6 out of those 12 hours (staff explained they are cleaning, feeding animals and taking lunches during this time). Dogs are only out for 3 hours in the morning and 3 hours in afternoon. This should be something disclosed to every pet parent on evaluation day. I picked up my dogs during kenneling time, it was so loud it was deafening in there with all of the dogs barking wanting to get out of the kennels. How stressful for my fur babies to listen to that for hours! $56 a day for daycare for 2 dogs is outrageous and far above industry standard. Also not disclosed, there is no outdoor potty area at Springfield East- good luck teaching your dog that it’s OK to potty in this building but not any other building!

Michelle Mellott: Everyone is so nice and takes good care of my fur babies

D Jackson: Signed my dog up for boarding for what was supposed to be 2 nights and 2 days. However, there was a snow storm the day I was set to pick her up and the facility closed early. They called me ahead of time to let me know they would keep her an additional night free of charge if i wasnt able to make it before closing and they did just that with no problem. Not to mention this facility is already VERY affordable compared to surrounding boarding facilities. The building is always clean, smells great and is very warm and inviting. And also BEAUTIFUL inside and out. My dog has been seen by the vets here twice and they do such a phenomenal job. You can tell everyone here really cares about the pets they oversee. As a visitor of the area, I couldn't have gotten more lucky to find a place like this. I will continue to bring my dog here for as long as we are in Springfield.

Molly Hoppman: Critical:Professionalism,ValueJudge mental

Dani Preston: Emmett loves it at the Pet Ranch! Everyone there is so welcoming, helpful and friendly. So glad this place was recommended to us.

DEM610: Critical:Reliability,Responsiveness

Alex Dreith: The staff at Millwood Animal and Pet Ranch did absolutely amazing with our little Theo! It was the first time we took him to day care and we were worried how he would do with other dogs. Within a couple of days we had to drag him out of there because he was having some much fun. They did such a great job of posting photos on their Facebook page and it always made me smile seeing him come across my phone, interacting with his new buddies. It’s a weight off our shoulders to know we have a spot we can take him if we need to get something done during the day. Thank you Millwood for making Theo feel right at home!

bethany house: I have contacted this facility on two separate occasions and left a note for the owners of the facility to call me back. I have 5 dogs that I wanted to board here. I board my dogs all the time, and I figured this facility would be interested in earning my continuous business. The first time I called I spoke to the front desk receptionist to inquire about pricing. She informed me they did not offer any discounts ( military or multiple dog boarding discounts). I have NEVER been to a boarding facility that did not offer some type of multiple dog discounts for 5 dogs. This is the reason I left a note for the owner(s) to call me back. I am extremely disappointed in the lack of business response to my messages left. I will be sure to let anyone I know interested in your facility of the experience I had .Update: This facility just replied to my review 2 years later. I find that humorous. Rest assured I have found other arrangements for my 5 dogs.

jessica braden: Knowing they're safe means so much! It's just an extra that I know my babies love playing with other doggies and the girls here treat them like their own. Dr. Smith has been my Vet since 2000 and I'd never trust my little sweethearts with anyone else.

Caitlin Robledo: My dogs love going here. The second I say the word "daycare", they perk up and get excited. I love how Millwood is a reasonable price. Also I love that they take pictures so I can see how my fur babies are doing! I would recommend for anybody to take their pets here. They have reasonable pick up times for everyday of the week. They even went out of their way on a weekend to fax our dog's rabies shots info to the humane society so we could adopt our second dog.

Stephanie Lewis: Thanks for always taking such great care of my dogs! It's so nice to be able to go to a place that you know your dogs will be loved on like they are at home!

Kennedy Smith: We board our dog at the Pet Ranch. My family is very particular our pets. We have received nothing but the best care from the staff. When we ask him if he wants to go the the Pet Ranch he starts running around and gets excited! So fun. Highly recommend!

Tawnya Infantino: I bring my pooch to the Pet Ranch any time I am in town and can't keep her with me the whole time. I LOVE the atmosphere and the staff is always so helpful! My girl is always so happy to see everyone and I never worry about her! It is so nice to have peace of mind when traveling and knowing that she is playing and being taken great care of!

Emily Quas: This is by far the best boarding facility in the area. Their facilities are beautiful and they have a HUGE grass yard for my dog to play in. They are joined with a vet clinic, so I don't hesitate to leave my dog in their care. Many times I am there, dogs are outside playing together. They also offer bathing and nail trims.

MK Magnuson: Pet Ranch at Millwood has a caring, friendly, knowledgeable staff. Charlie is a dog with anxiety and has zero issues staying at Pet Ranch! It's also comforting to know there is a veterinarian available should the need arise. I wouldn't take Charlie anywhere else.

Garen Gilmore: In the middle of moving we boarded our dogs with Millwood Pet Ranch. We had used them many times in the past and had a positive experience. So we dropped our dogs off on Wednesday and were scheduled to pick them up on Friday. Trying to meet a timeline to get out of our old house we were not able to pick them up Friday. Not knowing the holiday weekend hours I called Saturday morning to try and find out. There was no answer so I left a message. I also checked the website and still could not find the hours of operation. I had really wanted to get the dogs over the weekend to get them trained on our invisible fence. Because I could not reach anyone I had to wait until Monday to pick them up. I was charged 2 additional nights and voiced my opinion with the girl at the front desk. She informed me that she would talk to management and the would call me. I did get a phone call from them 3 days later and Explained to her what happened. I told her that I was not able to find any holiday hours and never received a return phone call from the message I left over the weekend. I asked her if she got my message and she said that she did. She simply told me that everyone else knew when they could get their dogs. She also asked me if I called the emergency vet line and I said why would I do that when I was boarding my dog. I was very disappointed in the lack of care or customer service. I truly felt that it really didn't matter to her whether I continued being a customer or used a competitor. I would not recommend this company to anyone!

Becky Smith: Ken and Cathy are the best. They live on site. They treat their guests with lots of love.

Crystalyn Whitcomb: I was so nervous to board my dog for the first time since she seems to have some high anxiety. They kept me updated on her and sent me a picture. When I went to pick her up she acted as if she didn't want to go! They took very good care of my baby.

Kevin Robertson: I have never seen or dealt with a better place for my 2 babies. They have treated them as would their own. I will never use another place to board my dogs!.

Tayler York: The best around! They are so good that they book up SO far in advance! So if you know you’re going to need them, call them immediately. Our dogs get so excited when we pull in the gate I can hardly contain them!!

Jim Jorgensen: My boys, Jasper and Bentley, love their stays with A Bit of County K-9. They get well taken care of, safe and I can tell they’re treated well there, they practically drag me in every time we go back there. Ken and Cathie do an awesome job of watching our babies for us.

Shannon Hoose: This is our favorite place to take the girls. They love our girls like their own when we are away. They care enough to post pictures of your dog for you to see when you’re away, which means so much. They are upstanding people.

Stacie Hens: This place is absolutely wonderful.

Sarah Helwig: I boarded my dogs here just this past weekend for the first time, and it was absolutely amazing!!! My dogs loved it and they had options for bedrooms with TVs and everything. Price is amazing too! I’m so thankful we found a place just down the road from our home. The owners were so nice and communicated well with us before their first night. Definitely recommend!! We already made another reservation in December!Thank you for taking care of my fur babies!!Sarah Kaunley

Betty Southard: On our way home last night from the game David and I were talking about how wonderful A Bit of Country K9 Kennel has been to us and our Sadie girl and how we needed to start preparing better at making our reservations for her. You and Ken have been so amazing and we hate going anywhere else. When we get to make our reservations we are very happy. You guys are fantastic! We’ve used you and Ken throughout the years for our Sadie girl and have referred you to countless others. We love how happy Sadie is when she comes to visit. We’re so thankful for you guys and the way you care for our girly girl.You guys are the best!We know that when we leave Sadie, that she is in the best hands and having lots of Fun. David and I appreciated all that you do and trust you with our girl.What a wonderful business you guys run and the care you give. I can’t say enough about how wonderful you are. ❤️❤️❤️

Michael Markley: Probably would help to conduct business and receive better reviews if they would return calls and/or answer the phone…

Tanya Lawson: My dogs love them ❤️ and it's always clean.

Mayda B: Very friendly staff/owners. Made our Pepper feel so welcome and at home when we had to leave.Have another stay booked next month and feel good about Pepper's stay.

Mr. Shark Boi: My dog Monkey loves this place!10/10 would recommend.

Cora Cotton: They took care of my Gracie like she was their's. And she had her birthday party while she was there

Suzanne Dulany: They love on my dog, Ollie, while I can't be there. He loves them and this is the only place I feel comfortable leaving him.

Marie Cox: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Reliability,Responsiveness,Value

Gail Harkrader: Our dog (Otis) absolutely loves it there.

Gail Kleemann: Great owners and very clean. I do wish there was interplay between the animals

Diana Heckler: Positive:Professionalism

Danielle Kinkeade: The very best. Clean. Cozy. Safe. Ken and Cathie truly care about each and every guest. They have gone above and beyond for my dogs. Take pictures to share while we are out of town. Saved baby teeth for one of our puppies on his first visit. Make sure all vaccines are up to date to keep all of their guest safe. And go above and beyond to help local shelters.
