Dog Daycare, Boarding and Sitters in Seattle

Seattle is where the modern pet-sitting industry was invented: Rover, now the largest marketplace of its kind, was founded here in 2011 and still has its head office downtown on Olive Way. That gives a visitor an unusually deep bench of sitters, walkers and daycares, which matters because so many of the city's indoor attractions are closed to dogs. Two practical warnings. Almost every reputable daycare requires an assessment visit before a first stay, sometimes followed by a trial day, so book that slot weeks ahead rather than on arrival. And all of them will ask for current rabies, DHPP and bordetella records, which for a dog arriving from Europe means bringing the vaccination book, not just the import paperwork.
