Doggy Day Care in Rainier Beach, Seattle, WA

“Taco had a great day at Eric’s. Taco loved hanging out in a big yard with the other dogs. This is perfect for me that Taco can have this experience at daycare because I am apartment dweller with no yard. Eric shared lots of pictures throughout the day. I felt at ease seeing how how much fun Taco was having.”

“Sarah was really terrific with our pup and was very communicative! We tend to get nervous with our pup as he can get overstimulated in new environments, but he handled it great and we know Sarah had a lot to do with that and making him feel comfortable. We'd definitely recommend Sarah!”

“Zelda had a lot of fun staying with Maria and Kalyan. They are really responsive and took good care of my girl. Their pup Nikko is also really adorable and I’m happy Zelda can make friends with him. Will definitely book again!”

“Daniel is an excellent sitter! Great communication before, during, and after my puppy Birdie's doggy daycare session, and he took great care of Birdie while I was at work. He put my mind at ease, especially since this was my first week using doggy daycare for my little puppy and it's of course so hard to be away from her for the day. But she had a great time playing with Daniel, snoozing during naptimes, and getting plenty of cuddles. We will definitely book again, thanks Daniel!”

“Jenny is so sweet and her dogs are great play companions with my very energetic border collie for day care. Somehow she managed to wear her out too which is tough to do! Would definitely go back to Jenny and her pups!”

“I am extremely thankful and happy I found Patrick and Maria Delfina! They were a very awesome couple and I know my Gigi enjoyed her doggy day care day with them! She was too tired to even acknowledge my presence and fell asleep as soon as we got in the car! I will definitely be booking more services with Patrick ! Thank you for all the pictures and taking care of Gigi!”

Staff members closely monitor playtime, quickly stepping in to prevent conflicts and spot signs of stress or discomfort. Our facility features secure fencing, double-gated entries, and indoor and outdoor spaces that are carefully maintained for cleanliness and safety. Every play area and piece of equipment is thoughtfully designed with both dogs and cats in mind — so your furry family member can thrive in a secure, nurturing environment.

About: What truly sets me apart is my calm, steady presence and my firm but kind temperament — pets pick up on our energy, and I strive to create a safe, relaxed, and positive environment for every animal in my care. Whether I’m reassuring a nervous rescue, setting gentle boundaries for an excitable pup, or coaxing a shy kitty out for treats and snuggles, I approach every situation with patience, and warmth. I believe in treating every pet like family, learning their individual routines, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry companions and give them the care and attention they deserve! Since I work from home, pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I’m able to attend to their needs as they arise and provide plenty of attention, potty breaks and walks throughout the day — not just during quick check-ins. I am available to care for your pet in my home or your home depending on the service requested. Whether in my home or yours, I will feed your pet according to their feeding schedule, provide fresh water at all times, engage in play with them and clean up after them. In my home I am able to provide a quiet, peaceful, pet-friendly environment with a large fenced in yard to run around in. Inside I love to draw the blinds and give pets a cozy spot by the window to sunbathe while watching the people, pets and wildlife pass by. It is my motto to leave a space better than you left it so while in your home I will not only follow all routines and procedures as needed but I also like to tidy up after the animals and provide photo updates to put you at ease.

“The best! My favorite daycare lady! Amazing!”

“Carmie is wonderful! We met ahead of time to make sure we were a “good fit” for doggie daycare, which was much appreciated. Carmie is prompt, communicative and very organized. She sent many photos/videos throughout the day updating me of how Mr Finn was fairing with her and her puppers. Highly recommend!”

I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, or any special care instructions. If I’m caring for a pet in the client’s home, I aim to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I respect their space completely and make sure their pet feels safe, seen, and cared for. Each visit includes fresh food and water, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, light cleaning (if needed), and lots of affection. I’m also happy to water plants, bring in mail, or help with other small tasks while you’re away. No matter where I care for your pet, my goal is always the same: to provide loving, reliable, and attentive care so both you and your pet feel completely at ease.

“Nikki is awesome- warm, welcoming, accommodating and communicative. I have a very nervous dog and Nikki made sure to give her lots of cuddles and reassurance. I strongly recommend Nikki.”

About: Most people call me Josh. Dogs have always been my favorite animal and I've lived with them for most of my life. I am recently dog-free and I miss having dog energy in my house. I've raised two dogs through basic obedience to adulthood, one with a class, and one largely on my own. I am personally a big believer in the methods described in The Art of Raising a Puppy, because I have had excellent results with their techniques, but will of course prioritize whatever approach is preferred by owners. I am happy to help reinforce any basic obedience your dog may be working on, as well as senior dogs. I am comfortable with a wide range of dog breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Highly reactive dogs are not my favorite, but "highly reactive" can be subjective, so I will consider such dogs on a case by case basis. I am happy to work with dogs of varying activity levels, but extremely high-activity dogs will also be considered on a case-by-case basis. I am currently working from home and am available for dropoff in-home daycare most weekdays and dog boarding (including weekends). My schedule for my dog was three walks a day (morning, afternoon/dinnertime, bedtime) so that is what I'm used to, but I am happy to work with clients to discuss their routine and work with them to agree on an experience that fits their and their dog's needs. I currently have no other animals in my home, so your dog will get my full attention as needed. I don't have a fenced yard, but I am in a residential neighborhood with a good-sized park a block away. I am reasonably close to Seward Park and the Genesee dog park as well.

“Brenna to amazing care of my little pup! I am so grateful to know that Titus had such attentive care all day even if he can be a bit of handful!”
