What Reviews Say

519 reviews analyzed

Pet 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

โ€œOur 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)

โ€œHe 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)

โ€œHe 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

โ€œMy dog came home with fleas... I spent the next weekend flea bombing my homeโ€

Threats from management to call police on customer

โ€œThe older bald guy said very clearly 'if you don't leave I'm gonna call the cops and tell them you threatened me'โ€

Lack of communication about dog wellbeing during stay(8 mentions)

โ€œWe hardly saw any pictures of him... We were never contacted at any point during the boardingโ€

Billing/pricing issues and confusion(6 mentions)

โ€œThey tried to charge me the full price, when the first 3 days should be 50% off... when I asked for a breakdown of the charges, they couldn't provide itโ€

Dog returned smelling of urine/poor hygiene(5 mentions)

โ€œBruce smelled like pee when we picked him upโ€

Missing or inadequate photo updates(5 mentions)

โ€œI never got an update on what he really did while there... They also texted me asking if I wanted to pay an extra $30 a day for a picture updateโ€

Pickup/logistics issues (forgot pickups, keys)(4 mentions)

โ€œBy this time Petcamp forgot to pick up my dog 3 times... 4 times they had forgot to bring the house keyโ€
