The Best Dog Daycare Facilities in Seattle, Washington

J.B.
Seattle is a dog town full of doggie bakeries, groomers and over 30 day care and boarding facilities. For an overview of the best pet sitting and dog daycare facilities in Seattle, keep reading.


1. The Barking Lounge (Queen Anne)

500 Dexter Ave N

Seattle, WA 98109

http://www.barkinglounge.com

With a 24-hour webcam that lets you keep an eye on your dog as it plays, whether you're on vacation or just at the office, The Barking Lounge is great for owners who want to stay in touch with their pets. They also do extensive pre-screening and ensure that all the dogs have up-to-date shots and can pass a basic temperament and behavior test.

A full day of dog day care costs $29, but goes down in price if you buy multiple days at a time.

2. Central Bark (Beacon Hill)

838 Poplar Place S

Seattle, WA 98144

At Central Bark, dogs are placed in off-leash play areas with other dogs of similar sizes. The facility even has its own private, outdoor dog park. Like the Barking Lounge, dogs must first pass a full-day temperament evaluation in order to be allowed to stay (cost: $25). They even offer on-site grooming including do-it-yourself washing facilities.

A full day of dog pet sitting costs $29, but goes down in price if you buy in bulk. You can also leave your dog by the hour for $6 per hour.

3. Wags (Belltown)

113A Bell Street

Seattle, WA 98121

Wags may not have webcams or a fancy website, but they do have a strong reputation for being able to handle anxious, nervous or aggressive dogs in an environment that's animal-friendly and safe. There's a reason why it's so hard to get in to this limited-space doggie daycare facility - it's because they're a boutique facility with qualified and well-trained staff that specialize in "difficult" dogs.

A full day of dog pet sitting costs $28, but goes down in price if you buy in bulk. You can also leave your dog for a half-day for $18.


4. King's Palace (Madrona)

1411 34th Ave

Seattle, WA 98122

It's small, but King's Palace is well-staffed and offers great services. There's an outdoor play area, segregated indoor playing and even little retreat spots for dogs who like to get away from it all once in a while. The one drawback about this boutique pet-sitting dog daycare facility is that there are currently no weekend hours - it's strictly weekdays for these dogs.

A full day of dog pet sitting costs $27, but goes down in price if you buy in bulk.
