Our Rochester Team
-
Lee OwnerLee and Dana moved back to Rochester from North Carolina in the early 2000s. When they lived in North Carolina, the state was a doggy paradise. Dog parks, Dog Day Cares, Dog Trails, you name it, NC was super dog friendly. Lee and Dana were surprised that Rochester on the other hand, was lacking in the Doggy Fun Department. They felt that their Rhodesian Ridgeback, Amber had gotten the "short end of the stick" in their move to Rochester.Seeing a business opportunity, Lee and Dana decided to open a Dog Day Camp and Boarding Facility where dogs could really enjoy themselves while their loved ones were away. Lee and Dana were so excited to start the adventure of opening a new business together and it was icing on the cake, that their new business would majorly benefit their furriest friend, Amber!
Amber spent her winters at camp instead of going crazy with Cabin Fever at home, and she spent her summers playing with her friends in the Camp Pools. Lee and Dana watched Amber and many other Campers turn into mature responsible adult dogs and they were so proud. Amber doesn't come to Camp anymore, but Dogs from all around Rochester travel to Camp so they can do something FUN while their parents aren't home.Fun Facts
