Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before booking
What is included in dog boarding at PawsVIP Ballard?
Every boarding stay includes an individual climate-controlled suite, your choice of group or private playtime, 24/7 onsite staff supervision, and free photo updates posted on Instagram. Personalized photo/video updates are available as an add-on.
What is the difference between group and private playtime?
Group playtime provides up to 5 hours of supervised socialization with other dogs grouped by size and temperament — ideal for social pups. Private playtime gives your dog three 30-minute one-on-one sessions with a staff member each day — ideal for shy, anxious, or dog-reactive dogs who prefer human attention.
What are your dog boarding rates?
Dog boarding starts at $64.99 per night for group playtime and $74.99 per night for private playtime. Multi-dog households receive a sibling discount. Package rates are available for longer stays.
What vaccinations does my dog need for boarding?
We require current Rabies, Bordetella (kennel cough), and DHPP (Distemper/Parvo) vaccinations. All records must be on file before your first stay. We recommend uploading them when you complete your booking.
Can I do a trial daycare before booking an overnight boarding stay?
Yes — new dogs can attend a free daycare trial day to get comfortable with our facility and staff before their first overnight stay. This is especially helpful for first-time boarders.
