Why Ballard Pet Parents Choose PawsVIP
Cat-Only Floor — Fully Separate
Our cat boarding area is on a dedicated floor completely separate from dog areas. No dog sounds, no dog smells — cats board in their own calm zone.
Private Individual Cat Suites
Every cat gets their own private suite with comfortable bedding, a litter box, food and water stations, and vertical space to explore.
2× Daily Human Playtime
Two 30-minute one-on-one sessions with a staff member each day. Cats who prefer solitude get gentle check-ins instead — we follow each cat's lead.
24/7 Staff Onsite
Staff are on-site around the clock — your cat is checked on regularly overnight, not just during business hours.
Calming Spray Available
Optional Feliway (pheromone) calming spray in suites to help anxious cats settle in more comfortably.
Flexible 5 AM – 9 PM Drop-Off
Drop off or pick up your cat any time between 5 AM and 9 PM, seven days a week. No rigid check-in windows.
What Pet Parents Say
Verified reviews from PawsVIP guests
“I was nervous leaving my cats anywhere, but the separate cat floor made all the difference. They came home calm and well-fed.”

“My cat is notoriously anti-social with other animals. Knowing she's on her own floor away from dogs made this possible for us.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before booking
Is the cat boarding area truly separate from dogs?
Yes — completely. Cats board on a dedicated floor that dogs never enter. There is no shared air handling, no shared corridors, and no visual or auditory contact between cat and dog areas. Cats with dog anxiety board with us worry-free.
What is included in cat boarding at PawsVIP Ballard?
Every stay includes a private suite with bedding, litter box, and food/water stations; two 30-minute daily human playtime or enrichment sessions; 24/7 onsite staff; and free photo updates on Instagram. Optional add-ons include calming spray, additional enrichment sessions, and personalized photo/video updates.
How much does cat boarding cost at PawsVIP Ballard?
Cat boarding is $29.99 per night for a single cat. Multi-cat households (siblings in one suite) receive a discount of $5 per additional cat per night ($24.99/night for each additional cat). Litter and bedding are included.
What vaccinations does my cat need?
We require current Rabies and FVRCP (Feline Distemper) vaccinations. Records must be on file before your cat's first stay. Cats should be free of upper respiratory symptoms at drop-off.
Can my two cats stay together in the same suite?
Yes — bonded cats who live together can share a suite at a discounted rate. We ask that both cats are current on vaccinations and comfortable sharing space at home before requesting a shared suite.
