A 25-minute country drive west on SR-507 — the closest premium dog resort to Rainier, with 15 acres, luxury suites, and 30+ years of family-run experience.
Rainier is small in population but big in heart — a quiet rural community at the eastern edge of Thurston County, where dogs roam pastures, ride shotgun in pickup trucks, and serve as family, hunting partner, and neighborhood guardian all at once. Like a lot of rural communities, Rainier dogs aren't accustomed to small spaces, and their owners aren't going to settle for a boarding kennel that treats them like livestock in a stall.
EdelHaus Pet Resort is the closest premium dog resort to Rainier — about 25 minutes west on SR-507, through Tenino and into Rochester. Our 15-acre property has been family-owned for over three decades, and we've built our reputation on caring for the kinds of dogs that need space, structure, and a familiar country feel. Our indoor/outdoor runs and open layout work especially well for rural dogs from communities like Rainier who would struggle in a tight, urban-style kennel.
What Rainier customers tell us most often is that they appreciate talking to the same family every time they call. There's no front-desk staff handing your dog off to a stranger — when you pull up, the people at the kennel are the people you spoke to on the phone. After 30 years, that continuity matters more than just about anything else in the boarding business.

Boarding, training, and pick-up & drop-off — built for rural dogs and their families.
12 indoor/outdoor kennels and 7 luxury suites with heated floors. The kind of layout where Rainier rural dogs feel more at home than in a tight indoor-only kennel — fresh air, open sky, room to stretch out.
Learn About Boarding →30+ years of training experience for working breeds, hunting dogs, and family pets alike. Rainier dog owners with high-energy rural pups regularly come to us for board-and-train obedience programs.
Explore Training Programs →Heading to Great Wolf Lodge from Rainier? We pick up and drop off at Great Wolf Lodge and Lucky Eagle Casino, climate-controlled and stress-free. Skip the second-vehicle juggling.
See Transport Options →From Rainier, head west on SR-507 toward Tenino, then continue west through Bucoda and into Rochester. Our gate is just a few minutes off SR-507. The whole drive is country highway — no city traffic, no congestion, just open Pacific Northwest road.
"There aren't a lot of options out by Rainier and I was nervous the first time we boarded. EdelHaus put me at ease immediately — they know rural dogs, they have actual space, and our girl came home tired and happy. We're permanent customers now."
