Flexible Dog Daycare That Fits Your Schedule
At DogCity West Seattle, we understand that not every dog—or dog parent—needs a full day of care. Our half day dog daycare option is designed for pups who benefit from structured play and socialization, but may not need an all-day stay. Whether you're running errands, working a half shift, or easing your pup into daycare, this option delivers the same quality care and enrichment in a shorter, convenient timeframe. Dogs get to play, rest, and enjoy group fun—all while staying safe, supervised, and loved.
What to Expect from a Half Day at DogCity
A half day of dog daycare at DogCity West Seattle gives your pup a few hours of focused activity and care within our climate-controlled indoor facility. Morning sessions run from 7:30 AM to 12:00 PM, while afternoon sessions are available from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM. You choose what works best, including anytime in between.
Upon arrival, your dog will be placed in a carefully selected playgroup based on size, temperament, and energy level. These small groups allow for safe and positive interactions while giving every dog a chance to play, socialize, and explore at their own pace.
Each group is supervised by trained staff who monitor behavior, encourage polite play, and provide hands-on attention throughout the session. Our facility features safe, sanitized flooring and fun play setups that give dogs variety and stimulation.
During a half day, dogs cycle through active play and calm breaks. We understand that short visits should still be enriching—so we make every minute count. Optional add-ons like enrichment sessions or slatmill workouts can be added for dogs needing mental or physical engagement.
We don’t feed meals during half days, but we’re happy to administer medication if needed—just let our team know when booking.
Whether your dog is building confidence, easing into group play, or just blowing off steam, our half day daycare program gives them the fun they need with the flexibility you want.

Multi-day packages are available for discounted rates if you plan to come regularly. Morning and afternoon time blocks are offered Monday through Saturday, and space is limited—so we recommend booking ahead.
