We were thrilled with the care and treatment our dog, Winston, received during his visit to KampKelly. Kelly’s business was set up in her home and yard with several areas where the dogs could freely go. While we were gone, we received many photos to relieve our separation anxiety. He loved this space so much, that when we returned, he was in no rush leave! Thanks, Kelly!John and Peggy Semrad

Kelly and Kamp Kelly saved our trip!Family took a last minute trip from LA area to Palm Springs. On the 2.5 hour drive we were 20 minutes away from arriving at our hotel when we discovered we booked the one hotel option that didn’t allow pets. (We were only looking at hotels that allowed pets but somehow decided on JW Marriott, which wasn’t part of our list, last second and didn’t check the pet policy 😬)Started searching for pet boarding and Kamp Kelly came up first. 9pm on a Saturday night we gave her a call and she answered! Said we could bring DJ first thing in the morning.Brought DJ the next morning and he relaxed instantly. DJ is normally clingy and always has his defenses up. He never tried to come back to me or beg to be carried, which he always does when he is someplace unfamiliar. (We had to sneak him into our hotel room for the night and he kept trying to leave the whole night. He couldn’t get settled so leaving him alone there would never have worked.) I knew then he would be okay at Kamp Kelly which made the trip great for us knowing that he was in good hands.Kelly kept us updated the whole time via text message and Instagram photos. We were able to share Kamp Kelly’s Instagram page with some family members and they got to see what a great time DJ was having also.We will use Kamp Kelly from now on. Her love for dogs shines through. As much as we love DJ with us he clearly had a great getaway trip as well. Instead of being in a hotel room alone while we hung at the hotel pool, he got to lounge at Kamp Kelly’s pool with Kelly and his new canine friends.Thank you Kelly for taking such good care of DJ!

We have been leaving our dog (Roo) for stays at Kamp Kelly for the last 3 years and feel very fortunate to be able to do so.Kelly is a crazy dog-lover who has effectively given over and converted her home into a boutique dog hotel with multiple indoor and outdoor spaces that the dogs can explore and play freely, along with a bunch of comfy beds for when they’re exhausted from a long day chasing each other. She’s constantly updating and upgrading to maintain and improve the spaces.Kelly seems to be quite discriminating about the dogs she’ll accept - insisting that the pack comprise of compatible dogs - in terms of both size and temperament.When we arrive at KK, Roo jumps up to affectionately greet Kelly and then runs straight in to meet the other dogs without looking back. We get frequent texts with pix of the dogs playing and sleeping which is comforting (all the attached pix came from Kelly).The most gratifying thing to see is our little darling dog visibly torn between coming home again with us and staying with Kelly.If I was a dog - I’d insist on staying at KK’s boutique resort…..

Kelly is great! She took care of my dog, Finn for an entire week and he had a blast. Kamp Kelly’s is a little dog resort! Great rate too! Highly recommend!

My dogs get excited to go to Kamp Kelly! For them it’s like an extended stay at a dog park. They get to interact w other dogs of similar size and good temperament. And Kelly herself makes sure they have a great time… acting herself as the pack leader. The dogs love and respond well to that interaction.The facility is truly dog heaven! So much to do! So much fun for them. Kelly designed it from a dog’s perspective. That’s why they get excited to go here. No fear! Just excitement. They even get to pick their own cozy place to sleep at night.It’s given me my life back… the ability to travel a bit with peace of mind! I care so much for my two babies that it was otherwise hard to leave them anywhere.Thank you Kelly for that! And for taking such good care of my best friends. Kamp Kelly is dog paradise!

Kelly was able to look after our labradoodle with very short notice! We called just the night before, and came by in the morning to drop her off. Kelly's set up is amazing for dogs, the obstacle course and pool and all of the other pieces she has set up are awesome! Her prices are very good, and she is so sweet with dogs :)

Kamp Kelly is Awesome. She took Kinsley last minute while we were in Palm Springs. Kinsley had a great time. Her property is one of a kind. I'm sure Kinsley can't wait to be back! Anyone Staying in the desert with dogs I highly recommend Kelly versus leaving your dog in the hotel room

I just picked up my boy from Kamp Kelly and I can honestly say that it was an amazing experience. The resort is incredible, with a pool, free play areas, and a large yard that kept my boy happy and active throughout his stay.Kelly clearly cares deeply about the well-being of her furry guests, and I had complete peace of mind knowing that Teddy was in good hands. Kelly continually sent photos and updates. I looked forward to her instagram updates as well. Overall, I highly recommend Kamp Kelly to any pet owner looking for a safe and enjoyable place to leave their furry friend while they're away.

Kelly still is the very very best.My dog misses her badly. This is the ONLY place in all of SoCal to take your dog. Simply the best. I can not say enough good things about Kamp Kelly. She truly truly cares about your little family members. She has so much knowledge and patience with every case. She has so much talent with the animals it's incredible. Your dogs will love this place. We have been going for more than four years now. It's a cage free environment. Thanks again Kelly.

My dog had an amazing time at Kamp Kelly! I received multiple pictures and updates every day she was there, and when I picked her up she didn't want to leave! We will definitely be visiting again!

Our 4 months old puppy Plush had a blast at Kamp Kelly! He went to daycare 2 days in a row while we were visiting Palm Springs. We are so lucky we found Kamp Kelly last minute, Kelly is so passionate and dedicated to taking great care of the dogs. We could tell he had a great day, lots of exercise and fun with his new furry friends. We also got some pictures through the day and Kelly was always super responsive.Highly recommend this place and Plush will happily come back next time we are in the area!Thank you so much Kelly! 🐶

Augie and I absolutely love Kamp Kelly. The customer service is phenomenal and I would recommend her to anyone! She is very thorough and I was really reassured during my trip because of all of the pictures and updates I got. Augie had a blast!

Kamp Kelly is awesome! Our guy Noogie stayed there for a short trip a few weeks ago and the experience was so great that we felt more than comfortable booking him for a 2 week trip we have coming up. Kelly was responsive and accommodating when I reached out last minute to book the first stay. She is definitely passionate about dogs and so attentive. Our pup looked so happy in all the pictures she sent us during his stay. Highly recommend!

Our dog Bear spent the day with Kelly while we visited Joshua Tree National Park. She was wonderful and we were so grateful to find someone trustworthy to watch our dog since we were coming from out of town. And, based on the pictures Kelly shared, Bear loved it too! We highly recommend Kamp Kelly!

Just finished walking the property with owner Kelly and think this is the best dog day care option in Desert Hot Springs. There was plenty of space to run around and play inside and outside, lots of shade and even a pool for Stevie to swim in. Her rates are reasonable and has high standards for the dogs that she accepts which makes me feel like Stevie will be in good hands.

I highly recommend Kamp Kelly. Kelly boarded my dog for one week and send pictures each day to make us feel comfortable that are dog was being carried and neutered for. Her Kamp is a plea sent and fun environment for dogs, plenty to do and explore throughout.

We boarded our 16 month golden doodle for 2 weeks and she did really well. Kelly takes such good care of each dog and keeps her home and yards clean. Coco played well with other dogs and Kelly makes sure the dogs get along or keeps them somewhat separated. They are not kenneled and we really liked that they had the freedom that many boarder do not have. We have several friends that board their dogs with Kelly and are happy as well. We will be back, even for day care.

I contacted Kelly just a couple of days leading up to a last-minute trip I had planned to Joshua Tree/Palm Springs. She was super friendly and more than willing to accommodate my late reservation. When we arrived, we could tell she takes wonderful care of the pups under her watch and is always monitoring behaviors to ensure all are having fun and staying safe. During the day, she checked in with photos and I loved following along to see my dog playing on her Instagram page. Her rates are super reasonable, and she's only 20 minutes from downtown Palm Springs. I highly recommend Kamp Kelly for anyone who lives in/is traveling to the Joshua Tree/Palm Springs area! Thanks, Kelly!

Our pup Roger loved his time at Kamp Kelly! He had so much fun and came home happy and tired. Kelly sent us so many pictures and updates and we knew he was having the best time while we were away. Roger will definitely be returning!

Our two small dogs love their day cate days spent at Kamp Kelly! Kelly has turned her home and surroundings into a dog’s paradise. My husband and I were amazed during our initial Meet and Greet at what Kelly has created for the dogs in her care.We are temporarily staying in the Palm Springs area to primarily hike. As many trails do not permit dogs, we thought we may miss out on some desired hiking and other pet prohibited sites. Thankfully we found Kamp Kelly! We have no worries about our dogs staying with her. In fact, they now know when we are headed in that direction and start squealing with delight when we turn in. If you need doggie day care for your small dogs, I highly recommend you go visit Kamp Kelly.

In town for the weekend and needed someone to watch our little dog Noodle while we went to Joshua Tree. So grateful we found Kamp Kelly! I booked two days in advance and it was super easy. Kelly took great care of Noodle and you can tell she loves dogs and takes a lot of pride in building a safe and fun environment for them. Would definitely recommend her and would def come back next time we’re in town!

My puppy seemed to have a blast at Kelly's. She kept him super busy for his two days at doggie day camp and he left tired and happy. Would definitely recommend her. She was very sweet and accommodating to us being travellers and agreed to a later pickup to allow us to do an excursion we wouldn't have been able to otherwise. Thank you, Kelly.

We felt totally comfortable leaving our pup with Kelly! It was very obvious that she loves and cares for the dogs. We would/will use Kamp Kelly again!

I can’t say enough about Kamp Kelly. Our German Shepherd puppy spent 2 1/2 weeks at camp and not only learned some good behavior but also had a blast. King was shy and had not had a lot of socializing. Kelly worked with him and when we got home he was a different dog. She sent pictures every day so we could see our baby. I never dreamed I could find a place this perfect. Thank you Kelly for everything. We will see you again. King can’t wait to go back to Kamp Kelly 😊

KAMP KELLY is the perfect paradise for your fur babies. Kelly is very responsive and took really good care of my fur babies. She is now my go to when I vacation. It’s worth the 40min drive for me.

We are so grateful to Kelly for allowing us peace of mind on our vacation. We could immediately tell our puppy was in safe, competent hands when we dropped her off at Kelly's dog resort and saw how much there was to do there and how carefully she monitors her pack. Though our puppy is brasophalic and not used to the heat Kelly kept her hydrated and safe. She was so accommodating of our changing schedule and we loved recieving pictures of our baby with hilarious captions through text and the Kamp Kelly instagram. Our doggo clearly had as much fun as we did on vacation, we will enthusiastically bring her back to Kamp when need arises.

We are staying in a nearby RV Resort and needed a place for our 10 year old pup to stay while we did some exploring. He loved it and the owner, Kelly, was so caring and thoughtful. We were so impressed!! Kelly runs a tight ship and even provides you with pictures of your dog having fun throughout the day!! 5 stars for sure!!

We planned a trip to Palm Springs for the 4th. We had to find a place for our TaViE to stay. I called serveral different place. When I called KaMp Kelly I know immediately that this was the place. We arrived and TaViE felt right at home. Kelly sent updates everyday several times a day during TaViE’s stay. If you in the area and need a place for you fur baby to kick back and enjoy KaMp Kelly is the place to go ❤️
