"Where your pets can play while you're away!"
Welcome to Critter Camp!
After 19 years and thousand of paws coming through the door, Critter Camp continues to provide the exceptional care
that campers and their parents have come to expect. Critter Camp is so much more than a kennel,
it’s a place where pets become a member of our family!
As pet owners ourselves, we believe such loving and faithful companions deserve a little R & R while their families are away on business or vacation. That’s why Critter Camp exists! We believe each camper deserves lots of love, exercise and personal attention on a consistent daily basis. Want to learn more? Give us a call and schedule a tour, we’d love to meet you and your pet!

  1. 1
    Dog Boarding Services
    No matter what size or breed of dog you have, dogs love to camp at Critter Camp! We offer four different areas for our dog campers.  Based upon their personality and temperament, we will assign them to an area that best meets their needs.

    Cat Boarding Services
    Our cattery camp is located adjacent to the reception/office area. Separate from the dog's area, cats enjoy the relaxing environment and the attention they receive throughout the day from the staff.
  3. 3
    Grooming Services
    Critter Camp offers a bathing service for the campers to request before leaving camp, plus we offer bath and brush out services to the general public by appointment. Prices are based on the size and coat length of the dog.
