What Reviews Say
72 reviews analyzedCamp Lisa is a highly-regarded, cage-free boarding facility praised for its cleanliness, spacious indoor/outdoor runs, and the physical exhaustion (in a good way) of the dogs upon return. While the facility and staff members like Tyler receive universal praise, the owner (Lisa) has a polarizing 'no-nonsense' reputation, with some clients finding her rude or dismissive. There are strict policies regarding 'bully breeds' and puppy socialization that have caused friction with a small minority of owners.
