Camp Happy Paws

A Camp for Dogs

Camp Happy Paws is a family-owned and operated dog care business that has been happily loving your dogs since 1999. Every dog that comes to Camp Happy Paws is like family to us! Our goal is to provide a low-stress, healthy, safe, and fun environment for your dogs while you are away at work, on vacation, or simply looking for a great way for your dog to socialize and exercise.

Freedom to Roam

Nestled in the woods, on five securely fenced acres, our campers have the opportunity to run, play, relax, and explore all day while being closely monitored by our highly trained and super dog-loving camp counselors. Dogs come from all over the state for our kennel-free dog boarding, day camp, and puppy socialization program. No matter your dog’s age or energy level, Camp Happy Paws has something for everyone!

Testimonials from Happy Campers

“Both my girls go to camp twice a week and love it. My youngest sometimes plays dead dog at pick up because she doesn’t want to leave! I love that the staff are so committed to the dogs that they asked what commands we use at home and started using them at camp. They always come home happy and well-stimulated and that’s all I could ask for in a daycare!”

“Our Goldendoodle Penny LOVES spending time at camp. As soon as I open my hatch she is like SEEYA MOM, I’m off to see my FRENNS!!! Camp is a beautifully maintained, fenced property and staying overnight feels like a second home to our dog. There are no kennels, but rather an actual house with warm rooms. Whenever Penny goes to camp she comes home so pooped and calm for 24 hours, it’s great!”

“Our beloved dogs have been camping here for over 24 years! Every time I drive through the woods and under the welcome sign, I want to pitch a tent and stay there myself. But I don’t because I can drop my dog Baldr off and go on my own vacation knowing he is having as much fun as me! Clean, kind, super-experienced, dog-loving. Thank you so much Camp Happy Paws!”

“My dog Bodie loves going to Camp Happy Paws where he is watched over carefully and gets to romp and play in the beautifully wooded and fenced acres. The entire team loves dogs, and it shows. Bodie jumps out of the car and literally runs to the camp office when I drop him off, eager to play and be there! I live in Maple Valley and make the commute to Bothell for boarding because of CHP’s quality care!”
