*We believe that dogs with extended stays sometimes need to just have some alone time. Dogs staying with us 4 or more nights receive a 10 minute free walk Monday - Friday. Saturday and Sunday dog walks are subject to regular charge, by appointment only and subject to availability.

**Our upgrade walk is for those dogs already receiving a 10 minute free walk Monday - Friday. This upgrade will take the walk up to 30 minutes. Same conditions apply as above.

Overnight Care Hours Check-in & Out: 12pm

All dogs must be checked out of Great Dog Overnight by noon, otherwise a daycare rate of $30 will apply for the remaining part of the day.

Check ins and outs on national holidays may be subject to appointment only.

Because of our commitment to supervision and care, deviations from the check in and check out times are difficult to fulfill. Special appointment times may be subject to an additional fee to cover custom staffing. While we do have someone here 24 hours, unlike most other places, that staff are completely dedicated to supervising, playing and overseeing our free-range pups and are unable to assist you at the cash register. Safety is always a concern so the dogs are watched, stroked, and hugged all day and all night. Please make your special pick up arrangements in advance and during normal business hours (Monday - Friday 8am - 6pm)

What to bring:

We provide bedding, healthy treats, bowls, toys, friends, snuggle time, etc. We ask, for your dog's tummy's sake, that you bring your dog's food for his stay (please mark clearly). We have premium food available in our retail shoppe for purchase should you need more or run out. If your dog takes medication, please mark it clearly and write out a time table of when they should receive medication. You may bring bedding, if you like. Your dog should wear a collar, have a standard flat or rolled leash (no retractables), and be wearing his or her tags.

What is Required?

Due to the social nature of our programs, all dogs that attend our daycare and overnight care are required to have a successful temperament screening prior to their scheduled visit. We typically do our temperament tests on weekdays and always by appointment. Dogs also must have had a recent negative fecal test, are current on vaccines, and are altered as per our daycare regulations. Dogs attending our overnight care (OPC) must also have been vaccinated against the bordatella viruses a minimum of 14 days prior to their first scheduled visit. Our current daycare clients meet all these requirements.

What Else Should I Consider?

In our endeavor to provide continued education for Seattle's dog lovers, we have provided a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions.) This FAQ serves two purposes, it will answer some questions and provide you some additional information about your dog's stay. It will also assist those wanting to research the best facilities by providing some questions to ask other kennels and alternative care environments.

How to Reserve a Spot!

Give us a call (206.526.1101 option 1) or swing by during our normal operating hours. You may also request us to contact you by emailing overnight@gogreatdog.com. Because your dog will be playing with our daycare pups, all dogs will need to fill out an application (download here), complete a temperament evaluation and have a health form signed by your vet prior to their first stay. Our overnight care friends must follow the same rules and regulations as stipulated in our daycare rules.
