Running Pond Acres

We absolutely love this dog daycare and boarding facility! Our dog, Bear, gets SO excited the second we pull in—he literally runs inside and knows exactly where to go. He never gets upset when I leave, which gives me huge peace of mind because it shows how comfortable and happy he is there. One of the biggest things we love is that Bear has his own private run that connects from his room to the outside, so he can go out whenever he wants. The freedom for the dogs to go in and out as they please is honestly the best part of this place and something you don’t find everywhere. They’re also genuinely accepting of all breeds, which we appreciate so much. A lot of places charge per night, but they charge per day—and while I originally thought that might be a downside, it’s actually a huge plu

This review is beyond overdue!!! My partner and I and our 4 pups can’t say enough great things about RPA! We took our dogs there when we had 3! Then all 4! Over the last 2 years we have taken less trips so they have been to RPA less than they’d like 😉 but they have been our #1 go to when it comes to travel and needing boarding! The dogs look forward to it, we trust them and know they are well taken care of and the staff seem to love our pack like their own! With our pack they get their own suite (haha!) and we love that they get to individually play and interact with others dogs staying there based on what they like and how they play! Attention to detail and care is RPA’s specialty! They are absolutely amazing and we can’t wait to be back!

Duesenberg loves this place so much! Great to have a doggy daycare that can manage and love a Newfoundland.

The staff are extremely friendly and our dog Talia loves being there. We are so fortunate they are there to provide a weekly daycare outlet for our very energetic pet. In addition to our weekly daycare visits, we know we can leave town and have a completely worry-free boarding arrangement. One of the best businesses in our area, without a doubt.

Our dog has been going to RPA since she was a puppy. She has not been excited to go to other kennels, but is always ready to jump out of the car when we arrive at RPA. She is a very high energy dog and I appreciate they let the dogs play together. I very much appreciate the flat fee where other kennels want to nickel and dime you for add on services. We live in hood river and go out of our way to bring our dog here when we travel knowing she will be well taken care of. The staff has always been friendly and you can tell they are dog lovers. Their limited hours can be a challenge for us depending on when our flights come and go. It would be not be as big of an issue if we lived closer but they work hard to try and accommodate our needs.
