About the founder

Erica Ochs Owner and Founder of Run! Day Camp for Dogs

Erica Ochs established her dog daycare and dog boarding business in the Portland area based on her own dogs' needs. With an overwhelming desire not to leave them at home while at work, in 1998 she founded Run! Day Camp For Dogs. Her passion for all animals dates back to the farm she lived on as a child in Ashland. Working with dogs every day has also enabled her to pursue her passion for running. The Run! property is also home to almost 30 rescue animals including dogs, pigs, rabbits,sheep, goats, mules, mini donkeys and a horse.
