What Reviews Say

11 reviews analyzed

Critter Care Camp enjoys overwhelmingly positive reviews with 10 out of 11 ratings at 5 stars. Customers praise Dottie's extensive experience, the clean facility, and caring staff who treat dogs like family. However, one concerning incident involved the owner being unexpectedly absent with no staff coverage, leading to a welfare check by authorities - this represents the only significant red flag and suggests the business may lack 24/7 staffing. The owner responds professionally to nearly all reviews, demonstrating active engagement.

Worth noting

Owner absence with no staff coverage - dogs left unattended for hours requiring sheriff welfare check

“Several hours later after a welfare check buy a sheriff's office I received a call from Dottie the owner who been away unexpectedly for longer than she had thought it would be. I was upset because there were dogs not being attended to for quite some time.”

Lack of 24/7 staffing/after-hours coverage

“I just feel leery of bringing my precious dog to a place that is not staffed 24/7 with a promise of attending to than animals needs every hour of the day.”
