“We recently boarded our 2yo Bonnie at Camp Berner and had an excellent experience! Bonnie had so much fun, she barely cared when we came to pick her up! Dave truly cares about every dog at camp like it’s his own. He communicated great and put us at ease knowing our dog was safe and well taken care of. Highly recommend!”

“I highly recommend CampBerner. I almost think our dog may not want to come home because he has such a great time. All thanks to David keeping us updated/informed and sharing Henry’s time there with us. It’s nice to know he does this because he understands what it’s like to board your dog and not have a clue how they’re being treated or getting on. Thanks David for taking great care of our boy. We will definitely use your services in the future.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Camp Berner. I’ve been bringing my 5 year old Bernese Mountain Dog, Gus, here since he was a puppy and it’s truly the only place I trust to watch him. Gus is a sweet boy, but he’s a lot. He tries to eat everything, so leaving him anywhere used to give me major anxiety. Dave and Becca are incredibly attentive and understanding of his quirks. They’ve always gone above and beyond to make sure he’s safe, exercised, and comfortable. Every time I pick Gus up, he’s happy, healthy, and totally exhausted from his mountain adventures. It’s clear how much he loves it there. The peace of mind I get knowing he’s in such capable, loving hands is priceless. I’m so grateful we found Camp Berner—it’s a second home for Gus.”

“As a new resident to Nederland, I began the daunting task of having to find a new dog sitter for my Lab up here in the mountains. We had used the same guy in Boulder for the last few years, and my dog and I were definitely going to miss him. Fortunately, I came across Camp Berner and can honestly say that Dave and his wife exceeded our expectations! Our first stay was somewhat long, over a week, and I was a bit hesitant as to how my dog would acclimate. Dave was great about sending daily updates (with pictures) of all the fun my dog was having! Camp Berner is an amazing set up designed for dogs to feel right at home - not in a traditional kennel. I can say without hesitation that we'll be back for sure and strongly recommend Camp Berner for anyone looking for boarding in the area. We're so fortunate to have Camp Berner in our backyard!”

“Recently, while I was away on business, I chose Camp Berner to board my dog. I give Camp Berner a 5 star "Yelp review.” David was actively communicating with me during my trip. He forwarded pictures of my dog playing, walking and sleeping. He made me feel very comfortable with leaving a family member to his watch. If you need a pet sitter, I highly recommend you go with Camp Berner!”

“I can’t recommend Camp Berner highly enough. Dave’s set up at his home and his love for dogs (particularly Berners) makes Camp Berner a dream for both dogs and their humans. I truly felt like while I was on vacation, so were my dogs. They joined in as part of his family. He sent me regular updates and photos. I can’t imagine a better person for my dogs to spend their time with when I am away. They came home tired and so very happy. I look forward to sending them back to camp next time I am out of town. Thank you Dave!”

“We couldn’t be happier with Camp Berner! Dave and Becca are wonderful and made me and Ruby feel welcome and right at home! It is not always easy finding a high quality, warm, and caring boarding environment for you dog — Camp Berner delivered on all accounts.  I would highly recommend visiting and feel very comfortable leaving Ruby in their care.  Ruby can’t wait for another visit soon!”
