One of my pups is medically fragile and they are quick to flag any changes and call if something seems off. I've tried other places and haven't found any nearly as good as RD. Holly, the owner, and her team genuinely care about the dogs they're entrusted with and the owner community they've created. I highly recommend RD.

Rocket Dog Daycare is truly something special. Holly and her entire team are beyond amazing. They…read moreclearly love what they do, and it shows in every interaction, every update, and most importantly, in how happy the dogs are. Ollie is the happiest puppy when he's there. He knows exactly where we're going the moment we turn down the street and absolutely sprints inside with excitement. He feels safe, confident, and genuinely loved, and the team has been incredible at helping him find the perfect mix of puppy friends that match his energy and personality. Ollie has been to both Rocket Dog locations, but he's a frequent flyer at the SLU location, where the team knows him so well. The facilities are always clean, safe, and thoughtfully run. The staff take exceptional care of every dog and communicate clearly and consistently, which gives us so much peace of mind. You can tell they pay attention... not just to the group, but to each individual pup. We've tried many other doggy daycares in the area and across Seattle, and Rocket Dog truly checks every single box. It's our go-to not only for daycare, but for overnight boarding as well. We trust Holly and her team completely and highly recommend Rocket Dog to any dog parent looking for reliable, loving daycare and boarding services.

She kicked our dog out of boarding for "lunging at" another dog that she brought into the room without a slow introduction, expected us to pick her up immediately when we were on vacation, and refused to provide a refund for the night of care we didn't use. She kept our dog in a non-dog-proofed "she shed" by herself for several hours after the incident and was upset that our dog caused damage to that space. I do not think it is unreasonable to expect that a dog boarding business that cares for multiple dogs has a plan for when dogs don't get along, and that such a business should be able to handle incidents without expecting folks on vacation to drop everything to come get the dog.

After our local training place closed we were looking for other options and committed to positive reinforcement training. Unfortunately a lot of trainers use aversives, especially with large strong dogs. We were so excited to find Julia, and after our meet & greet we were confident she was a good choice. Julia did a 2 week board & train with our dog while we were traveling, mainly focusing on leash skills and practicing calm behavior around exciting things. We noticed an immediate improvement, but have also been continuing to work on the training at home after our follow up. I'm happy to report that we are continuing to see improvement using Julia's methods.

This indoor dog park is for dogs 40lbs or smaller only. I like that they have cognitive activities for the dogs and the pups get outdoor walks included in their stay too. They also have easy food drop offs bin. Just write your dogs name on their food bag. I noticed little refrigerators under the front desk area so you definitely can bring food other than kibbles that need refrigeration. The staff are also very friendly and cheery and this makes me feel happy that my dog will be in good care. Each day camp comes with a report card at the end of the day of what your dog did and sometimes there are photos of your dog with their new dog friends or on their walks.
