New Clients

We are excited to welcome new families to Camp K9.

Getting Started Is Simple

Here is how the new client process works.  Designed to set your dog up for success.

1

Submit Your Enrollment Form

The first step is completing the enrollment form so we can learn more about your dog and begin the review process.

We will be in touch to walk you through every next step.

2

Send Your Vaccine Records

We will let you know exactly what we need. Most dogs just need current Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella plus a recent fecal result.

Dogs should also be on flea prevention.

3

Schedule Your Evaluation Day

Every dog gets a trial day before their first full visit. It helps us find the right fit — and helps your dog feel at home from day one.

Dogs must qualify for daycare before boarding.

What We Look For

Camp K9 is designed for dogs who do well in a structured, social environment.

We look for dogs who can play appropriately with others and who are a good fit for our program. The evaluation helps us support the safety and success of every dog in our care.

Boarding reservations require a 50 percent non-refundable, non-transferable deposit.

For daycare cancellations, we ask for 24 hours notice.

Let's get started

We’re Here to Help

We know every dog is different and every pet parent may have questions before getting started.

If you are unsure what step comes next, need help with forms, or want to talk through your dog’s needs, please reach out. We are happy to walk you through the process.
