Description

Specialties

Our Canine Camp is a small doggie daycare and overnight boarding

place for your dog or dogs when you can’t be there for them. Cage less and carefully screened Campers for non aggressive fun and play to wear the pups out and make them and YOU happy!

Your dogs are treated like one of the family while they stay with us.

Many areas to play and keep your best friend happy, exercised and stress free.

My name is Sharon and my two business partners are my

Australian Shepherd, Maggie May and my Rough Collie,

Angel Raphael. Raffy for short.

I can honestly say, I have never worked with better coworkers!

We offer a fenced yard overlooking a beautiful lake and

perennial garden plus a newly renovated «puppy playroom»

that is dog friendly and a place to play for days when the weather

is not cooperating. Our Camp is located in a small lake community

45 miles from Manhattan but when you drive in, you would think we

were hundreds of miles from the nearest city.

Taking holiday reservations now!

History

Established in 2013.

My position was downsized from my corporate job as a package manager for a major retail chain. I was with this corporation for 12 years. Before that I had my own design firm in Manhattan for 12 years. I had also worked in manufacturing and design studios all in some capacity as an art director/​manager. My main focus at Parsons School of Design was communication design.

I looked around for jobs when I was let go in the same industry and was so dissatisfied with what companies are now offering and what they expect, I decided to actually do something I had dreamed of doing. To find a career I could do with my favorite family members. My collie and my aussie! I have always had dogs and cats plus a horse.

We have been open for 6 months and each month we meet more new clients and our business has been growing gradually with most of our clients repeat campers! Some of our campers we see up to 4 or 5 times a month and some have stayed with us for over 10 days.

Business Owner

Lifetime animal lover who also happens to love art so when deciding on a career out of high school, after winning a few scholarships in art, my head went with art but my heart has always been tugged by my love for animals.

After a 33 year career as an art director and packaging professional, I am finally going where my heart is taking me and I opened Maggie & Raffy’s Canine Camp in August of 2013. Never looking back…
