At Camp Run-A-Mutt,
it's all about the dogs...
The award-winning Camp Run-A-Mutt™ is the premier cage free doggie daycare and boarding paradise! Our indoor/outdoor camp is beautiful (see for yourself on our Muttcams), fun, safe and supervised 24/7. Camp Run-A-Mutt™ Kearny Mesa features over 11 square feet of indoor and outdoor play area for your dog to romp, play and socialize to their heart's content! Watch your camper online as they run on the spacious grassy area, cool off in the custom waterfall/splashpond, relax on the sun deck or under the cooling misters on a hot day. We also offer dog washing, grooming, boutique, obedience training and surprises you’ll find only at Camp Run-A-Mutt™. Your pup will love it, and so will you.
It's not just the amenities that make us unique. Camp Run-A-Mutt™ is also 100% cage-free for both daycare and overnight boarding. Your pup will receive exceptional care by our well-trained, attentive staff who are certified in pet CPR and first aid. Overnight Campers enjoy the security of a caring human in the same room while they snooze. Our goal is to make boarding fun by minimizing the stress and anxiety some dogs experience when they are away from home. “Pack boarding” instead of cages, human love instead of being alone, it’s a no brainer.

Daycare
Our daycare lets dogs do what dogs do best: run with the pack, play with friends (both human and dog), chase balls, splash in our splash pond/waterfall, lounge in the sun or simply hide safely away on top of one of our many structures and watch the hi-jinx. See for yourself on our Muttcams.
Boarding
Like our daycare, boarding is also cage free. This means, “pack boarding" indoors with the pack and mothered by our qualified alpha human. Our staff stays with your pup all night to make sure they are safe, comfortable, relaxed and all their needs are met. A good nights sleep tonight means a sharp mind and lots of energy tomorrow.
Grooming
Our groomers are skilled, patient and most importantly, love dogs. Dogs who get groomed at our camp get to play right up until their appointment. Most dogs actually enjoy the break and our groomer knows that tired dogs are more relaxed and easier to groom. It’s really a win/win for everyone.
Obedience
Even the best dogs can develop undesirable behaviors. All Camp Run-A-Mutt trainers practice positive re-enforcement methods which is the most humane and effective training there is. Most camps offer a variety of obedience options, like on-site classes, "board and train”, and one-on-one training.
Meet the owners
Erik and Tim have been life long dog lovers. They currently have one dog, a puggle named Kirby Wigglebutt. Kirby has been attending Camp at the Mission Hills location since he was a pup in 2008. He was going so frequently and had so much fun, that the folks over at Camp Run A Mutt dubbed him “The Mayor”.
Erik is originally from New York and moved here in 1995 after graduating from Rutgers University. He worked for AAA for several years before going to graduate school and earning his MBA. From there, Erik has worked in sales and Human Resources. With almost 20 years of customer service and human resources experience, Erik is excited to be em”bark”ing on this new adventure. Tim, originally from Ohio, moved to San Diego in 2005. He has his Master’s degree in Information Management from The University of Akron and is a Professional Project Manager. Tim brings over 25 years of experience working with teams in the public and private sector to Camp Run-A-Mutt. Both Erik and Tim are eager to be involved owners and you will surely be seeing them around. If you do, please say “Hi!”.
The “Mayor” could not be reached for comment.
