Camp Run-A-Mutt East County El Cajon, California

We had two dogs boarding with this branch during holiday of 2021. Grateful that they had slots while the other run-a-mutt close to us didn’t. We tried the web camera during our travel, but it’s hard to observe with the quality and location of the cameras. Staffs seem to cluster together, based on our limited observations. Upon picking up, one of them had cracked/dry nose while the other hung his tail really low for two days. Overall, we wish our dogs had better experiences than they appeared to have.

We bring our dogs Milo and Dakota to play during the day and tried the grooming for the first time day. BOMB !!!! Chloe did an amazing job deshedding our huskies !!!! Our dogs love this place and come home exhausted. So glad we did the grooming- this will be our spot now !!!

My dog loves this place, it's like her home away from home!

No cages ,no drama , my boy comes home and chills so awesome to have a safe place to have my boys to go.

They really treat the customers well, including my pet. They have very friendly service everytime I've been there. I asked them to trim him a bit more, and they did upon my request. I also asked them to check for a sticker, or whatever it was that was irritating his paw. And they found a fox tail along with a wart...They wrote this down for me, too. The only issue I have is that I need to remind them each time what I need done for my pet. If I don't, then he gets bathed with shampoo that's allergenic, instead of non-allergen shampoo. They claim to remember your pets needs, instead of having it logged into the computer, or have some kind of filling system for each pet. An apology would of been helpful, too.

We've brought our dog Timber here for several years now, and are still blown away at the level of service that they continuously provide. All we have to do is say the word "camp" and he jumps like a kangaroo and heads for the door. He has a great time playing with the other doggos, and their prices for grooming cannot be beat. I have always felt completely assured that he was in safe hands and that they would take very good care of him. They treat him like family. I would highly recommend them for any boarding, daycare or grooming need.

We started taking our puppy Otis here so he could socialize with other dogs and not be board while we were working all day from home! I’m so glad we did!!! Molly, Mike, and all the staff are AMAZING! They treat our pup well, and love the hell out of him! Recently they had a foster come in that I fell in love with so I adopted him! They were amazing throughout the entire process! My boys love going to camp and I love knowing they are well cared for and will be exhausted when they get home! This place is the best around!!!

Amazing facility and even better service. My pup is boarding there tomorrow for the first time. He cannot wait! Took him to socialize and do a temperament test before boarding - he was saf when we left!

We LOVE Camp Run A Mutt East County, it is so clear how much love they have for what they do and they always make our puppers feel special.

Wonderful and Loving, knowledgeable staff.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. I was referred by one of my friends that takes her dogs there. I have a rescue that lived her entire life on the streets. She didn't become mine until she was 7 months old. She was interesting and fearful of people . And came with some medical issues. so it was hard to socialize her when I first got her. I told them my concerns about her. And after talking with them I knew I was in the right place and so was she. By her third visit I could tell she had played and relaxed around the staff and the other dogs. I love that I can watch her on camera and see how she's doing. It has helped her so much in finding her own confidence. I bought a package deal so she'll be going once a week for the next 5 months. Probably more when her five months is up.????

Clifford loves to go to camp. Great people run it and we feel more than safe to have him camp overnight when needed. Highly recommended!

Very caring staff. Web cam is awesome for my peace of mind.

I can't say enough good things about this place. Amazing! I was referred by a neighbor and have been coming ever since for about a year now...on average about once/week to let my energetic husky get some quality exercise and play time with his fellow dog friends. I have also had my pup stay a couple different times for overnight stays. The quality interaction with the staff and dogs there is genuine, gentle and so very appreciated. I also love that they do initial personality testing to make sure the incoming camp members will get along with the other pooches. This creates a much calmer and happier environment for your furry family member. Highly recommend!

Camp Run A Mutt is the best! Our dog can't wait to get there on the morning!

I bring my labradoodle here anytime I can’t give him the exercise he needs. He loves it! The people that work here are all patient and kind. Mike and Molly are great

Took my Daisy girl in for temperament test. Desk staff, especially Chloe, are terrific. Daisy passed, so I left her there for a couple hours. I could see her on the cameras, and she seemed happy. When I picked her up, staff member "Mike" made it a point to come out and talk with me and tell me that she did great. This is a GREAT place. Several months with 10+ day camps and 2 multi-day boardings later, my Daisy gets excited when we pull up in the driveway. She is ALWAYS happy to get out of the car and go in. Can't say enough about what a great place this is.

The staff is very friendly and helpful.

I've just been here for nail clipping for my dog so this review is based solely on that. The staff is very friendly, especially Chloe who always seems to get along with my dog really well. She's very good with my dog and always does a good job of clipping my dogs nails. I highly recommend getting you dog's nails clipped by Chloe cause she seems really good with dogs. I'm always in and out and the price is just right. There hasn't been a reason for me to quit bring my dog here to get her nails clipped.

I don't think I ever will use a different boarding place than Camp run a mutt in East county. Whenever I walk in, they greet my dog...." Oh look everyone it's "Honey". I could care less at that point whether they remembered me. This is a class place with fun for Fido and a very loving and caring staff.

I've been taking my dog here for more than a year and a half. Everything all the comments say about these being dog people is true. Every employee I have met has been so kind and seems to really care about my dog. My dog is a rescue with separation anxiety and it is such a relief to be able to take her someplace where I am confident that she is safe and being cared for while I'm at work. The rates are fair and you can get a good discount if you buy days in a bundle. They also have grooming on site and a vet that comes by to give shots. This is by far the best daycare/boarding facility.

Great place to send your dogs Wonderful caring people

I was told they are not taking any new clients and recommended cafe le groom. Weird.

This a great place to bring your dog for boarding or day camp. The staff is great and my dog loves it there!!

I absolutely love this place. They are super nice and love working with dogs. Very clean and I love that they have cameras so you can check on your pup throughout the day.

My two little dogs absolutely loved their stay! From the time of exploring the place to decide on the choice to the time of picking them up, Camp Run A Mutt staff is awesome! Friendly, knowledgeable, skilled, certified, experienced, and readily available to answer any questions! We got a free day camp day for the dogs to test their temperament and if the place was right. No big dogs bothered them, they got to play with the other dogs, sleep and socialize with the other dogs. It truly was a camp! They didn't want to come home! And now when we leave through the front door or they hear the car unlocking, they cry for us to take them on a drive, most likely to Camp! Thank you for a safe, clean, fun place for our dogs!! We will be back soon!

This is the only place we would leave our furbabies! Mike, Molly and crew treat our furbabies like their own. They get petted, played with, never caged and someone is always with them ;) 10 Stars. As 5 stars is not enough

I have been sending my dog here for nearly 2 years and it's been a wonderful experience. The staff is so caring and I occasionally get pictures of my fur baby to take home.

Best place for your pup young or old. My border collie puppy 6mo. came home after spending 9 days there HEALTHY and happy. We will be back for sure. Never doing kennel thing again. Only this place.

Fantastic b&b for dogs, the owner and staff are knowledgeable and caring, my puppy is deliriously happy there! I can't recommend it enough.
