Just 25 minutes south of downtown Olympia — a 15-acre family-owned resort where state workers, Westside families, and Capitol Campus professionals trust their dogs to expert care.
As Washington's state capital, Olympia is a city of working professionals — Capitol Campus staff, Evergreen State faculty, downtown attorneys, healthcare workers at Providence St. Peter, and the families that fill neighborhoods like the Westside, South Capitol, Boston Harbor, and Bigelow Highlands. Olympia residents lead busy lives, and finding a dog boarding facility that treats their pet like family — not just another kennel — isn't easy. That's where we come in.
EdelHaus Pet Resort sits on 15 quiet acres in Rochester, just a 25-minute drive south of Olympia via I-5. For decades, Olympia dog owners have trusted us with their pets while they travel for work, attend legislative sessions, take long weekends to the coast, or finally book that vacation they've been putting off. Whether your dog is a high-energy young Lab from the Westside or a senior pup from a quiet South Capitol cul-de-sac, our spacious indoor/outdoor kennels and dedicated daily attention give them a stay that feels more like a getaway than a kennel.
Our family has been training and boarding dogs for over 30 years. We have the trophy room to prove it, but more importantly we have the relationships — generations of Olympia families who've boarded multiple dogs with us over the years and who recommend us to their neighbors. When you drop your dog off at EdelHaus, you're not handing them to a stranger. You're handing them to people who genuinely love what they do, and who have spent three decades getting it right.
From luxury boarding to expert training to convenient pick-up and drop-off, here's how we make life easier for Olympia families.
12 indoor/outdoor kennels and 7 luxury premium suites with heated floors and ceiling fans. Olympia Capitol Campus workers and Westside families love that we're open seven days a week — perfect for last-minute legislative travel or that overdue weekend getaway to the Pacific coast.
Learn About Boarding →Over 30 years of training experience for puppies through adults. Olympia owners regularly bring young Labs and Goldens for puppy foundations, and stubborn rescues from the Olympia animal shelter for board-and-train obedience programs. Every dog gets a customized plan.
Explore Training Programs →Heading from Olympia to Great Wolf Lodge with the kids? We offer pick-up and drop-off at Great Wolf Lodge and Lucky Eagle Casino, so the family can play while we handle the dog. One less thing to worry about on your Olympia-area getaway.
See Transport Options →From downtown Olympia, head south on I-5 toward Centralia, take exit 88 toward US-12 W / Aberdeen, then follow signs to Rochester. Our driveway off 183rd Ave SW puts you in a quiet rural setting just minutes from the highway. Olympia dog owners tell us the drive is one of the most relaxing parts of the trip — country roads, fresh Pacific Northwest air, and a hand-off to people who treat your dog like their own.
"As state workers, we have unpredictable travel for legislative session and trainings, and EdelHaus has been a lifesaver. Our shepherd-mix actually gets excited when we pull into their driveway — that says everything. The 25-minute drive from West Olympia is nothing for the peace of mind they give us."
