Our History

Founding and Early Years (2010-2012)

Camp Woofs and Wiggles was founded in 2010 by lifelong dog lover and entrepreneur, Sarah Thompson, in the heart of Lincoln, Nebraska. After years of working in corporate America, Sarah decided to pursue her passion for animals and create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for dogs. With a modest facility that included a spacious outdoor play area and cozy indoor spaces, Sarah opened the doors to Camp Woofs and Wiggles, offering doggy daycare services to local pet owners.

In its first year, the camp quickly gained popularity among dog owners in Lincoln, thanks to its personalized care and attention to each furry guest. Sarah’s vision was to create a community where dogs could socialize, play, and receive the love they deserved while their owners were at work or away.

Expansion of Services (2013-2015)

As demand for services grew, Sarah expanded Camp Woofs and Wiggles to include overnight boarding, dog training, and grooming services. In 2013, the camp introduced a structured training program led by certified trainers, focusing on obedience, socialization, and behavioral issues. This addition not only enhanced the camp’s offerings but also helped strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners.

By 2015, Camp Woofs and Wiggles had become a beloved institution in Lincoln, known for its dedicated staff and commitment to providing a safe and enriching environment for dogs of all breeds and sizes. The camp also began hosting community events, such as doggy birthday parties and adoption days, further solidifying its role as a community hub for dog lovers.

Community Engagement and Recognition (2016-2018)

In 2016, Camp Woofs and Wiggles launched its “Paws for a Cause” initiative, partnering with local animal shelters to promote pet adoption and raise funds for animal welfare organizations. The initiative was met with overwhelming support from the community, and the camp became known not only for its services but also for its commitment to giving back.

During this period, Camp Woofs and Wiggles received several awards, including “Best Doggy Daycare” from the Lincoln Journal Star’s Readers’ Choice Awards for three consecutive years. The camp’s reputation for excellence continued to grow, attracting clients from surrounding areas.

Innovations and Growth (2019-Present)

In 2019, Camp Woofs and Wiggles underwent a major renovation, expanding its facilities to include a state-of-the-art grooming salon and additional play areas. The camp also introduced a mobile app, allowing pet owners to book services, view live webcams of their dogs, and receive updates throughout the day.

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 posed challenges for many businesses, but Camp Woofs and Wiggles adapted by implementing enhanced safety protocols and offering virtual training sessions. The camp’s resilience and commitment to the well-being of its furry guests helped it emerge stronger than ever.

As of 2023, Camp Woofs and Wiggles continues to thrive, serving hundreds of dogs and their owners in Lincoln and beyond. With a dedicated team of passionate staff, a wide range of services, and a strong community presence, Camp Woofs and Wiggles remains a leader in the pet care industry, dedicated to ensuring that every dog has a tail-wagging good time.
