What Reviews Say
519 reviews analyzedPet Camp San Francisco is overwhelmingly beloved by customers, with 85%+ 5-star reviews praising the caring staff, happy dogs, and quality facility. The facility excels at accommodating dogs with special needs (anxious, reactive, senior dogs) and provides excellent daily photo updates. However, there are serious red flags: a pattern of dogs returning with significant weight loss, injuries, or health issues without proactive owner communication, and isolated incidents of dogs being crated excessively. The owner (Michelle) responds professionally to nearly all reviews, including negative ones, and offers refunds when appropriate. While most dogs thrive here and customers are loyal for years, prospective clients should be aware of the communication gaps that some reviewers experienced regarding their dog's wellbeing during stays.

Worth noting
Dog returned with significant weight loss and health decline without owner notification
โOur dog had lost approximately ten pounds and was visibly weak and lethargic... we were never contacted at any point during the boardingโ
Dog returned with injuries (sores, limping, bleeding paws)
โHe is noticeably smelly. He was supposed to be washed and he has urine around his neck and front pawsโ
Dog left in crate for extended periods (8+ hours daily)
โHe only has 3-20min play sessions and the rest of the day is spent in a CRATE!!!! ALONE!!! That means, my poor pup is literally stressing out in a crate that he is not accustomed to for 8.5 hours dailyโ
Dog came home with fleas
โMy dog came home with fleas... I spent the next weekend flea bombing my homeโ
Threats from management to call police on customer

Lack of communication about dog wellbeing during stay(8 mentions)
โWe hardly saw any pictures of him... We were never contacted at any point during the boardingโ
