We welcome animals of many breeds and temperaments. While we are experienced with a wide range of behaviors, we are unable to accept any animals with a known history of aggression toward humans or other animals, for the safety of our team and your pet.

That said, we do accept dogs with leash reactivity- such as barking or lunging at other animals, bicycles, or distractions- so long as the behavior is limited to on-leash situations. We can work safely and patiently with these behaviors and are happy to incorporate positive reinforcement into each walk.

For the well-being of all the dogs in our care, we require that boarding clients must be spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations, and at least one year of age.

Each member of the Petworks Seattle LLC team is not only a devoted animal lover, but also a trained professional with extensive experience in animal care and handling. All team members are certified in Pet First Aid and CPR, and undergo thorough onboarding to uphold our standards of safety, compassion, and professionalism. We are licensed in the State of Washington, and proudly insured and bonded through NAPPS and The Business Insurers of the Carolinas.

For pets who require medications, we are happy to administer at no additional cost, provided they do not require a DVM or LVT license to legally dispense. Our team has extensive experience with a wide range of medications and care routines- including oral pills, topical treatments, injections, and subcutaneous fluids. We approach each pet’s medical needs with patience, precision, and a gentle touch to ensure they remain comfortable and safe.

We observe all major holidays and do not offer visits on those dates in order to give our team well-deserved rest. Boarding services remain available on holidays, with a $20 holiday surcharge applied.

For households with multiple pets, a $10 fee applies for each visit. To help offset rising fuel costs and maintain consistent service, a $2 fuel surcharge is added to each visit. All fees are clearly outlined in your itemized invoice with transparent, respectful pricing for the quality care your pets deserve.

We do our best to accommodate last-minute requests, but to ensure availability, we recommend booking visits at least 24 hours in advance. Same-day reservations may be accepted when the schedule allows.

For cancellations, we kindly ask for at least 24 hours notice for standard visits. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice are subject to a 50% cancellation fee. If a caretaker arrives and the pet is not present (without prior cancellation), the full visit fee will be charged.

For boarding reservations, we recommend booking as early as possible- spaces are limited and fill quickly, especially during holidays and peak travel seasons. We gladly accommodate extended stays; our longest to date is six months. Boarding cancellations require 7 days notice. Cancellations with less notice are subject to a 50% cancellation fee, as this allows us to offer the reserved spot to another client on our waiting list.

To ensure reliable, punctual care for every client, we require that a lockbox be kept on the property containing all necessary keys, fobs, or access cards. This allows our team to securely and consistently access your home without delays or reliance on third parties. For efficiency and safety, we are unable to coordinate entry through apartment leasing offices, front desk staff, or remote call boxes.

For homes equipped with a keypad entry system, a lockbox is not required. All entry instructions and codes are stored in your client portal and handled with the utmost care.

Our standard business hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Visits and boarding transportation are generally available during two windows: morning (9:00 AM-12:00 PM) and afternoon (12:00 PM-3:00 PM). While we do our best to honor your preferred timing, some flexibility may be required based on the day’s schedule and route.

Weekend boarding transportation is available between 10 AM-2 PM for an additional fee.

We serve neighborhoods from West Seattle to Madison Park- and many areas in between. Contact us to see if your location is within our service area.
