Local guide

Dog boarding in Seattle, WA: what to know

Seattle is a city built for dogs in a quiet way, endless trails, off-leash parks at Magnuson and Marymoor, and a culture where rain doesn't cancel walks. Petme sitters across the city, Ballard, Fremont, Capitol Hill, Queen Anne, West Seattle, and beyond, are used to rain, fog, and the occasional smoke day, and they build daily routines that work in any Pacific Northwest weather. Whether your dog's usual life is a Green Lake loop or a Discovery Park trail walk, you can find a verified sitter nearby.

For Seattle pet owners, Petme charges 0% commission. The rate you agree with the sitter is the entire cost, no service fees on top. Cashback is automatic after each completed stay. Every booking includes up to $20,000 in veterinary protection, important coverage given that emergency-vet visits at BluePearl Seattle or VCA Veterinary Specialty Center can otherwise run into substantial unplanned costs.
