DOG DAYCARE BY DOG OWNERS
At DogCity, we’ve been proudly serving the West Seattle community for over a decade. After relocating to the Admiral Junction, we’ve focused on creating a high-end facility for daycare and grooming. From our clean, welcoming space to the attention to detail we put into every interaction, you’ll quickly see why we’re the premier dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility in West Seattle
Dog Daycare starts at 7.30a every weekday. During weekends, we focus only on our boarding services. We offer both half day (up to 5 hours) or full day services.
We end our daily routines at 6.00p as we prepare every night with a deep clean and dinner time for our boarders.

BENEFITS OF DOG DAYCARE IN WEST-SEATTLE
Extra Physical Exercise
Dog daycare is a fantastic way to keep your dog physically active and healthy. With plenty of supervised playtime, your dog gets to burn off energy and enjoy engaging activities that promote physical fitness. Additionally, we have a dog slatmill for extra exercise!
Enhanced Socialization
Your dog gets to interact with other friendly pups and people in a safe, structured environment, which helps build their confidence and improve their social skills. These interactions can help reduce fear, anxiety, and aggression.
Peace of mind & convenience
While you’re at work or tackling your day, you can trust that your dog is being cared for in a clean, safe environment. When you pick up your pup, they’ll be happily tired after a day of fun and engagement.

HOW TO GET STARTED
Dog Daycare is great for most dogs but ultimately we are being entrusted to family (or at least that's how we think of or owm dogs).
Though we have a high bar for our customers experience, we obsess about the safety of all, both of the furry kind and our employees.
Health first
Start with a dog daycare and boarding application to provide us with the essential details about your pup. We require all members to comply with strict vaccination and parasite testing protocols to ensure a safe environment for every dog.
Meet & Greet
Not all dogs thrive in group settings, so our temperament evaluation helps us determine if your pup will enjoy daycare. While we can’t know everything in a single session, we use this time to assess compatibility with our program
Visit - Book - Save
During your evaluation, you’ll tour our facility and see how much we care about cleanliness and safety. We recommend booking online to secure your spot, as spaces fill quickly. Most of our members save by purchasing daycare packages!

FAQ
Not every dog is a good fit for daycare or we might not be the one with a good fit for him/her.
However, all dogs are great just how they are. Their background, breed, size, and specifics of your home environment affect how we can all do on a group setting.
The only way to know for sure if we are a good fit is through our temperament assessment.
Daycare starts at 7.30am every weekday. As soon as we open we receive the first group of members.
As soon as they come in, their leashes are stowed away and they join the play group according to their size (large group or mini's).
All our playgroups are supervised with a wrangler for every 15-20 dogs, depending on the energy of the day.
We rarely do lunch time but we have kennels available for a limited numer of dogs who might require a lunch break.
We can administer medications if your dog is on a schedule, as long as their condition does not put at risk the safety of the pack.
Our play areas are cleaned immediately after any messes and deep cleaned daily.
Every dog undergoes a "meet and greet" evaluation before daycare to assess their temperament and comfort in a social environment. This helps us ensure compatibility and safety during their stay.
All dogs must comply with the minimum eligibility:
- At least 3 months of age
- Full vaccination rounds complete
- Spayed/Neutered at 6 months
We ask also that new adopted dogs have had at least 2 weeks of bonding with their hoomans before daycare/boarding, as this could affect the bonding process.
Finally, all dogs are required to have a quick release collar with a name tag
We require proof of up-to-date vaccinations, including rabies, distemper + parvovirus (DHPP), and Bordetella (kennel cough). We also require a negative fecal test done at least within the last 12 months.
This helps keep all dogs safe and healthy.
Our team is trained to administer medications and provide personalized care for dogs with special needs. Just let us know your dog’s requirements, and we’ll take care of the rest.
At this point we are not adminitering injection medication as not all our overnight staff is qualified to do so. All other forms are welcome.
Yes, although we allow walk ins, we normally hit capacity a few times a week. Recently, it has been a situation that does not deliver on our great experience promise but customers understand this is done for the safety of both the pack and our employees.
For 2025, we will ask all customers to book online in advance (as late as the day before) or call us before coming in to confirm capacity.
Of course! We encourage dog owners to visit DogCity West Seattle and see our setup in person. Contact us to schedule a tour.
Our staff is trained in pet first aid, and we have partnerships with local veterinarians to handle any emergencies promptly and professionally.
Note that we are prepared for anything from a fire to an accident. Preparation, clear communication, and safety is always part of our work.
We obsess about the safety of the pack. This starts with our wranglers maintaining a limited level of energy. We work with the dogs to limit barking, chasing, jumping or any behavior that can trigger an unwanted situation.
If a dog persist on any of these normal but not desired behaviors, we separate them in an enclosed area to let them rest by themselves for a few minutes.
Any situtation or behavior that puts the safety of the pack at risk is immediatly addressed and we have a number of kennels where we can isolate dogs as needed. If this happens, we will reach to the owners immediatly.
Communication is key!
