About us
At Dogs at Camp, dogs spend their days together with other dogs, in very large fully fenced fields, supervised at all times by our Camp Counselors. They also have all day access to the barn for warm up, cool down, or rest time. Each dog must pass an assessment for socialization before being accepted to camp, and that – together with a number of other measures we have in place – ensures a positive and safe environment for each and every dog in our care.
At camp, dogs have time to play, rest, eat, sleep, and… well… to be dogs.
Young pups and seniors alike enjoy time at camp!
DAC Ottawa is located just off highway 417, close to the towns of Pakenham and Arnprior – 20 minutes west of Kanata. It is set up on – get this: (are you sitting down?) 160 acres of land. Yes, you read that right. One-hundred-and-sixty acres! The beautiful 4000 square foot barn has been restored for our camp purposes, including a large indoor play area, grooming facilities, six ‘stalls’ for sleeping dogs in small groups. Dogs enjoy a two acre fenced outdoor play field. The property is situated on the bank of the Mississippi River…an ideal swimming spot for the dogs!
The owner of the Ottawa Dogs at Camp – Cheryl Caswell - founded It’s a Dog’s Life in 2001, which was one of the original, largest, and most successful indoor day care facilities for dogs in Ontario.
Providing dog boarding and camp services to Ottawa and surrounding area - Kanata, Stittsville, Carp, Almonte, Arnprior, Pakenham, Carlton Place, Renfrew, Kinburn, Fitzroy Harbour, Dunrobin, Constance Bay, Manotick, Richmond, and more!

bungopony asked:Any recommendations for non-kennel boarding a large dog? My lab mix is pretty well-behaved but isn't happy if in a crate. Can anyone recommend a country-ish place that takes dogs near Ottawa?
blackjaquesshellac replied:http://www.dogsatcamp.com/ is my recommendation. My pooch Maggie was there for a few days and loved it! Basically you drop off your dog and they slowly introduce her to all the other dogs staying. Once that's done, they are never apart. All the dogs sleep together in one giant bard in Arnprior and they have a huge fenced in play area attached to the barn. My dog was in heaven. But boy did she sleep when she got home.

Martholamew asked:Can anyone recommend a good place to kennel a dog in Ottawa? I'll be kennelling my dog for two days and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. The kennel in Stittsville seems like it would be a really good place, but I was wondering if anyone had any feedback in general.
i-never-check-this replied:I created an account just to tell you. Best i've ever heard of is [Dogs at Camp](http://www.dogsatcamp.com). It's a huge converted horse farm. basically a huge fenced-in open area over-night dog park thats supervised. I've taken my dog there, and she had the best time ever. Honestly, look at the page, read the reviews. You won't be disappointed, and neither will your dog. Seriously.

Leeanne V. asked:Anyone know of a good place to board dogs for 10 days?Jennifer J. replied:Can't beat Dogs at Camp (www.dogsatcamp.com). Amazing staff, wonderful open-concept facility (NO CEMENT KENNELS!), and the dogs love it there. I wouldn't take my dog to a traditional kennel ever again. They have a FB page (Dogs at Camp - Ottawa) and the pics alone show how well-loved and cared for the dogs are.

Chris S. asked:Hey PST'ers, I'm looking for your help. I'm gonna try to make it down for the Sept long weekend, but I have to treat the wife to something in order for her to permit me to skydive. Problem is that I need to find a place to take care of the dog so we can go where she wants to (Toronto Zoo/Dinner). Does anyone have any recommendations for a doggie daycare around Sutton/Toronto(or anywhere in between)? I don't want to simply leave her at a kennel and I don't mind paying for something nicer or more personal. I prefer personal recommendations rather than relying on a website that may or may not represent the "actual" location or somewhere that will sell my dog as soon as I leave etc... Thanks a bunch!James F. replied:+1 on the DogsAtCamp.com - someone I know near Sutton said "the dogs came back happy"Chris S. replied:Cool, keep me posted! Thanks a bunch. I'll try to check out some local places and if I find one I'm comfortable with I'll post back. Found one that seems nice http://www.dogsatcamp.com but I'm gonna check out a bunch, especially the recommendations.

Jennifer K. asked:is there a doggie daycare here in the bayJo-Ann C. replied:There is a fantastic Doggie Day Care just 15 minutes up Kinburn Side Road on Upper Dwyer Hill, called 'Dogs at Camp'! It is a wonderful place with 2 acres of running space and staffed by some of the best doggie people. Our little guy has been going th ere for over 2 years now and loves to go a play for a day. Then when we need boarding, we know he is comfortable...a great piece of mind!
