Ti is all smiles at Camp Marlin.
Here at Camp Marlin we strive to provide your dog with the most fun, structured, and safe doggie daycare in Gainesville. We always try to go that extra mile to make you feel 100% comfortable leaving your dog in our care. Don't take our word for it though, read what some of our clients have to say:
"I got Pretzel when she was a pup, and she wanted constant entertainment. I worked nights, and she would not let me sleep during the day. I was going crazy until I tried Camp Marlin. It was a true lifesaver---Pretzel would play all day, and be tired when I got her home. Plus, she became socialized around other dogs. She is well-looked after and safe while at daycare. It has been worth the money."
-Pretzel's owner

"I was very worried to leave my "baby" Tucker with strangers--especially having to trust them to keep him safe with other (MUCH bigger) dogs. I have been 100% satisfied with the care Tucker has gotten while at Camp Marlin. He gets so excited when we pull up in the morning and comes home with a report card of all the fun he had during the day. Tucker gets bored around the house when my husband and I are at work and I find he starts to get destructive--a day at daycare fixes this--even if it is just once or twice a week. I would HIGHLY recommend Camp Marlin to anyone out there."

" My dog, Dexter, and I love Camp Marlin. Dex really, I mean, really! loves it there. He has the best time ever!! I only wish I could take him every day of the week. The staff is top notch!!"
