DOG DAYCARE & BOARDING
Your pups home away from home in West Seattle!
Your pups are our guests, not customers.
SERVICES OFFERED
WE ARE FULLY INSURED!
Owning a pet is a rewarding experience and we want to make it uncomplicated for our customers.
​
ATMOSPHERE: Your pup(s) will stay in a clean, organized house, have full access to our entire property, and are free to roam our house as though they were in their own home. Although pups are not allowed on our furniture, we find that giving them access to the rest of our home makes it easier for them to adjust and relax much easier than they would in a crate or cage at a kennel. Because of this, we accept only passive pups that do not nip or snap at others. We have gates set up around the house interior to feed all the pups separately and to keep some separate from others when they need a break from all the higher-energy pups. We do not crate or kennel the pups (unless told to do so by their humans) since we invite them into our home as guests and want them to feel as such for a happier experience. Our backyard is always available for pup play! We give the pups as many backyard breaks as they want, throughout the day (weather permitting). This way they can run around with the other pups and play to their hearts' content! Since summers tend to get warm, we make sure our guests stay cool, which is one of the reasons we have air conditioning. We also send regular updates with photos of your pups at play or during walks, if any.
​
EXERCISE: We here at Canis Major, LLC, prioritize socialization and play in our spacious backyard (weather permitting), and make sure your pups get plenty of exercise, running, and playing with the rest of the pack. Also, we love to walk for our health, and because of this, most of your pups benefit, as we take some of them with us during our miles-long, calorie-burning walks. We may offer guaranteed walking services in the future, but in the meantime, we cannot guarantee daily walks.
​
In addition to providing you with the services you need to ensure the health and mental well-being of your pet, we are also fully insured so that you may rest easy knowing your pup is covered in case of any unlikely accidents.
​
We want your pups to feel comfortable by giving them a home atmosphere, over crates and separate rooms. Your pup will be part of our pack and will be treated as though they live with us. We only take a limited number of pups to avoid overwhelming them, so make sure you book well in advance to set up a meet and greet for your pups to come and meet Mickey and see if our home is comfortable enough for them!

Follow us on Instagram to keep track of your pups' adventures!
We look forward to meeting your fur children!

FOR EARLY PICK-UPS AND DROP-OFFS (NO EARLIER THAN 7AM): Please consider traffic and any other delays when scheduling early pick-ups or drop-offs. In preparation for early arrivals, we must wake up earlier to perform our morning routines of feeding and letting out any pups being boarded. Because of this, we bill the off-hours pick-up/drop-off fee, even if you are delayed and arrive during business hours.
FOR AFTER-HOURS PICK-UPS AND DROP-OFFS (NO LATER THAN 9PM): After-hours pick-ups and drop-offs are not always available and must be requested during scheduling. We may be unable to accommodate after-hours if notified during your pup's stay. Please also consider traffic and any other delays when scheduling after-hours pick-ups and drop-offs.
​
Ensuring your pup gets the proper boarding that they need is important — and we make it easy here at Canis Major. We are well-educated in dog care and have a combined experience of over 35 years of pet care, so your pup will have a stress-free and happy experience.
​
Your pups will have crate-free nights in our living space, with the rest of the pack, for a comfortable and anxiety-free sleep.

[This is our most popular service, so make sure you book in advance.]
