Charlie's Canine Camp

Charlie's Canine Camp handles dog boarding in Geneva, NY, from a 20-acre farm at 1955 Hayes Road, with overnight lodging for dogs and cats alongside day camp, grooming, and training. The camp opened in 2024 and is run by owners and trainers Amy Hayes and Lauren Burdsall, who formed the business in 2020 and bought the horse farm that same year.

What a boarding stay looks like

Each dog cabin converts in size, from small to extra-large, so households with more than one dog can share a space. Every boarding night includes a full day of day camp, and dogs rotate through indoor and outdoor play areas instead of sitting in a suite all day. Cabins are cleaned daily with TP-256 products and include a cubby for each dog's belongings. Owners are asked to bring their dog's own food, bed, blanket, and bowls, though the camp can supply them if something gets left behind.

Cats get their own room

Cats stay in a separate glamping room away from the dogs, with plenty of windows for bird watching. The cat cabins hold up to 10 cats, so a multi-cat family can stay together.
