We love Paws VIP! It has helped so much with my puppies social skills. Great for if I need someone to watch her during the day if I'm running errands or working an extra long shift. I have gone on a week long vacation and she has staying here for the boarding part of it and they take such good care of the dogs ! 10/10 recommend. read more

Friendly staff and great boarding service. My dog had a great time here. We will definitely come back again!

I bring my dog Luna here and she loves it so much! She made a bunch of friends and the staff is also amazing! Definitely recommend it!

I have 2 dogs. A Boston Terrier and Great Dane/St. Bernard mix. I travel frequently between Wa State and AZ and have found no better place for my 2 four legged fur babies. They keep the place clean. My dogs and their belongings are always returned in excellent condition. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They are also pretty affordable. My only critique for not giving 5 stars is because the decor/ styling could use some modernizing but who really cares... the dogs sure don't! read more

PAWS vip got the best groomers very patient and always explaining the service. Naomi was my groomer and I love going to her

Updated review.... Been taking my dog Daisy here for 3 years & she loves it ! Very trustworthy business and the staff is amazing! Whenever I get ready to take her to PAWS VIP I say the word "daycare" or "Paws VIP" and she goes insane! Paws vip is the ONLY daycare I trust taking my Daisy to. I've taken her to 2 other daycares & was told she's to "wild" or has "aggressive behavior" PAWS VIP is the only place that has knowledgable staff that knows how to PROPERLY handle/deal with dogs. read more

They followed up and offered me a free groom next time for Shadow and assured me that they do all the cleaning and all that but I do understand having several dogs in one spot always runs a risk. Luckily the antibiotics and cough suppressant worked their magic and my dog is back to new. I'll give them another shot and update in the future. read more

They take such great care of my sweet pup! They pay extra attention to her nails, which is great!

Always a great experience for us! Meitra is always so nice and caring. My dog loves her!

We've been going to PawsVIP for about two years now and they've been so good to us, and especially our husky Callie. They're so flexible with our hectic work hours, with a very easy drop off and pick up process. They cover us with boarding, shower leashes to borrow, grooming appointments, and even food when needed. We know Callie's safe there with experienced staff and vaccine requirements for all other dogs. Callie loves coming in every week! read more

Delanie is the absolute best!!!!! PawsVIP is amazing! Love this place so much, they made my fur baby absolutely glow. So much care and attention was given to her and she came back looking like a true show dog Thank you to the whole team! I feel really good about leaving my dog with you all, and I never have to worry about how she's doing. It's a huge relief to have a trustworthy place for Lily to call her second home when we're away! read more

I made a reservation here to board my dog. You can't ask for more convenience as a traveler! What I didn't expect was to be turned away for a tour of the facility when I arrived just after noon; the website boasts tours any time they are open. I also didn't expect the smell that hit me when I stepped through their doors. I canceled my reservation. I will drive further and suffer the inconvenience for a clean, friendly kennel that will allow me to walk through their premises any time. read more

We took our dog to Paws VIP weekly for 2 years and bought 3 of their day care packages before we found out their true colors. Who have a 100 lbs high energy dog. When we would pick him up from daycare he would pee for a solid 2 minutes and didn't seem as tired as when we would take him to places previously. We also NEVER saw him in any online pictures, even when they panned across the whole yard. My husband and I both asked staff if there was an issue at least twice each and were told "no, he must have just been off in another corner." The only thing we were told anything was when he had a time out for being rough with another dog which happened occasionally. We usually dropped our dog off around 7:30am and picked him up around 5p. One day, my husband asked the staff if they could wait to put our dog in the yard because he ate late. She laughed and said, "we never put him in the yard until at least noon!" Mind you this was when play went only until 3pm. They had been keeping him in a kennel but using our day pass while also lying to us about it for 2 years! This was also confirmed by another manager who said that our dog was a little much for some of the girls to handle (AT A DOGGY DAY CARE!) We stopped going and were trying to decide how to approach them since we still had quite a bit of money on one of the packages left (around $800). They eventually called me to check why our dog had not been in for a while and I asked to speak to the manager. Someone called me and he was a jerk immediately and very defensive. I reminded him that their website claimed to "guarantee 6 hrs of play a day" but he was getting 3 ours all while they lied to us for years and kept our pup in a kennel. What's worse is we ASKED if there was a problem and were told no. "Bora" offered me a free bath to continue coming and I told him I would not trust him with my dog ever again. He eventually agreed to give us back $300 and are taking our dog to Seattle Canine Club in SoDo. Our pup comes home exhausted and pees a normal amount. read more

We took our dog in on Sunday for a dog daycare trial before we made the committment of choosing this place for boarding. Staff was friendly and it was very easy to coordinate his stay. When asking for a tour of the facility before dropping him off they thought it was a weird ask as I could tell by their expression. They wouldn't allow a tour of the playtime area but showed us the back where the kennels, grooming, and feeding area was. The kennels were not that great... it smelled awful and there were so many dogs packed in the back like it was an animal shelter. Some dogs didn't have any bedding and slept on the cement ground. The grooming area in the back didn't look very lively or clean... it was next to the food storage where everyone drops the food off for their dogs feeding. Overall Kobe had a good time but after he came home, he started vomiting the next day. Today he vomits in 7 different spots and we find a toy that comes out with it. He does not have toys like this because of that reason... we have never seen this toy and when I call PawsVIP they dismiss the issue... don't empathize... and just continue to say that they don't have toys LIKE THAT... so they have toys but not the fabric kind that i've mentioned... right... right. I let them know to check all the play areas and not provide toys because some dogs will just eat it. Again... dismissed the issue and didn't give a shit. I'd highly recommend against bringing your dog here. If you really care about your dog, drive that extra for better care. UPDATE: Kobe is still pooping out pieces of fabric which may indicate that he may have eaten bedding as well. If your dog tends to tear up and eat bedding, let staff know so they don't include that in the kennel... or better yet... don't bring your dog here. read more

Almost no one boards cats. None of your referrals worked out. I found a place on my own

I was nervous about leaving my energetic and playful pup, Max, in someone else's care, but from the moment we walked in the door, I knew we were in good hands. The staff was warm and welcoming, and they immediately made Max feel comfortable and at ease. The facility is clean, spacious, and well-organized, with plenty of room for the dogs to run around and play. Simmy explained everything very well. Thankfully read more

I wanted to love this place, I've used their services twice now and their staff is super friendly and I love that they have awesome social media presence, but the care is lacking - there's no camera's where you can watch the pets and no one gives you any info about how your pet did during the stay. The first visit, I had my pup there for 3 days - I packed her food but worried it wouldn't be enough. I was fully prepared to have someone bring extra but when I picked my dog up, only half the packed food was eaten. So a husky only ate the equivalent of 1.5 cups of food in 3 days? No way. The last visit, I prepacked the food in bags, so they just needed to put it in the bowl - which they did. (awesome) I also packed a blanket and toys for her room. She's a white dog and the blanket is black. They never even unpacked the blanket. It was just as I had packed it, not a fur on it, with all her toys and treats underneath. That was depressing, but what really drove this review was the intense urine smell of the place, even in the lobby away from the dogs. I get it, pets pee - but I had to wash my dog twice when she came home. She's also been sleeping like a rock for the last 18 hours. So it's likely not the cleanest place, definitely not paying attention to pet owners wishes if you bring stuff for them to have/use. I think they'll do an ok job of keeping your pet alive, but the care part isn't there. read more

Our dog has been coming here for years. Staffs are so friendly, lenient and understanding. Our dog loves this place. I know of this because each time I pulled into their parking lot, he would bark excitedly. Grooming service is also excellent. Groomers actually listen to my requests for certain way to give our dog a haircut. Having an awesome haircut is important with a dog as well as humans. read more

I scheduled online just for nail trimming/grind. It was quick and easy. Friendly service and quick too. Dogs either leash trained or untrained, they'd take it. We went to Petsmart once, after they don't take my pup because he's not leash trained, but he's the smartest. So it took me quite some time to find another grooming that it's not their biggest concern. read more

This place is AMAZING! I was referred by a friend who has been taking their puppy there and I was originally drawn in by the incredibly affordable prices, as well as the extended hours - you will be hard pressed to find a daycare in the Seattle area that matches either of those things. While those were the original draws, the kindness and care they shown the pups is just the absolute icing on the cake. My girl is VERY shy and they took the time to help bring her out of her shell through positive reinforcement and love. I almost don't recognize her in the videos they send because she is running around, smiling, tail-wagging and CONFIDENT! Finally, they are incredible with communication! They respond to texts quickly which is just so nice and reassuring during some of the longer hours I have to spend away from my babe. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby - she is my family and it means so much that you make her feel like she is part of yours as well. read more

PawsVIP - Tell me your dog had a fun-filled day at camp without telling me that your dog had a fun-filled day at camp. I'll go first. - Pet Groomers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My dog boarded with paws.vip for less than a week. On the last day, I got a text message from their staff saying he threw up. Luckily I was already on my way to pick him up. I asked the front desk what their feeding times were because if the times are too far apart, bile can build up in his stomach causing him to puke. She said their feeding times were 4AM & 5PM which didn't sit right with me because I LITERALLY provided my dogs exact eating schedule prior to dropping him off. I'm not sure how this could've happened, but my dog didn't deserve this. On the way home he threw up once and then 8 more times throughout the day. We had to see an emergency vet because he started throwing up blood (pics below). This was my first time ever using a boarding facility and a very unfortunate experience at that - making this my absolute last time. read more

The person handling the front desk has zero experience with dogs prone to separation anxiety. Zero. My dog barked at her and she said they wouldn't be able to take him. Great business I had a trip pre-scheduled and now we're scrambling to find someone else last minute. Awesome. They also thought they would be able to take in my other dog that was already back there in the kennel lol - you really think you're going to get my business after taking one look at my puppy and determining he was not a good fit? Really? read more

My dog loves this place. She gets so excited when we make a U-turn at the light to go in the parking lot. They always keep me updated about how my dog is doing. I saw so many times how they clean their kennels. Very clean and safe for your pets to get any services you want. Very friendly staff. I trust them with my pet well being while I am away. read more

I'm the guy whose daycare turns into boarding with a very sassy dog. My almost 10 month old Blue Heeler, Joey, basically used to live at PAWS VIP and she loves it. The staff know each dog and their personality and treat her so well. I know that when I work late or overtime, PAWS VIP always has my back. They give great suggestions when I have questions, care about Joey and the best part, Joey is always tired when she comes home! We also took training there and it was incredible. Joey is a sassy girl, but definitely takes simple orders now. Each staff member always is happy to see Joey, she is happy to see them and it's funny bc sometimes I'm not sure if Joey is happier to see me pick her up or if she's happier when she arrives. Lol. Sometimes I have jobs that are out of state or overnight and it often happens last minute. The staff is super understanding and always make sure I know that Joey is safe and well cared for while I'm gone. And with a quick update on where I'm at and when I'll be coming, PAWS VIP staff always hits me with the "no problem, see you tomorrow". It is soooo relieving having folks take care about your dog when you can't especially when you're schedule is erratic. They have also kept me updated if she's acting differently or once her poops were suspicious so we had a text exchange about that and I took her to the vet immediately. I know that if anything was terribly wrong, I'd know about it. Also, grooming is super great! They plan it around your daycare so you get a fresh smelling dog when come get your buddy! You can also follow them on Instagram if you wanna check in on the dog party! I follow them and it feels sweet to be able to see Joey having the time of her life with other dogs. PS Joey knows the word "daycare" now so she does half flips when I say it. Lol. I should teach her PAWS too. Haha. read more

Last December we were in the middle of a very stressful move from Hawaii to Florida. We had to fly our dog Murphy via cargo, which made us very sad that he could not fly with us. An unexpected long lay over for Murphy left us even more worried. That's why I am so grateful to Paws VIP for being available to rescue our dog from the airport at such short notice. Although I'm sure he was pretty stressed, I could tell from the pictures and updates Paws VIP sent us that their caring services helped him re-group for the rest of his journey. It also gave our family peace of mind to know that he was so well cared for. It was well worth the money to have him stop in with Paws VIP. I actually would have scheduled the stop with them had I known in advance it would have benefitted our dog for the break in such a long trip. I know this review is overdue, but thanks Paws VIP. read more

My dog was fearful when I picked him up after grooming, he had cuts all over his body and he was bleeding around the ears. PawVIP charges double than other groomers, I expected much more care. The lobby was dirty and the staff was unprofessional when I dropped off my dog. read more

We were looking for a new daycare / boarding facility for our dog because our last boarding experience was not pleasant. We always give it a shot by having our dog do daycare and boarding for one night before we have him stay for a period of time. The staff here seemed to be kind enough but when we picked our dog up after his one night stay he SMELLED like straight urine. We had about a 45 minute drive home and had to roll the windows down it was so strong. I get it's probably difficult to clean 24/7 and dogs will be dogs when they see a puddle of ANYTHING. When we got home he slept nonstop I'm sure from the separation anxiety and burning off energy but he now has displayed other symptoms such as a hoarse bark, phlegmy, and he's thrown up two times now. Currently waiting to get him to the vet. I think this has just been a common thing I experience in facilities like this that take LOTS of dogs and jam pack them all together. My new goal is going to be looking for a facility that doesn't take on so many dogs at once. read more

Mitra did a great job grooming our Auggie after his 3 days of boarding. He looks great and I know he had a blast during his stay, as usual. The staff is so great and consistent. read more

Great option for a weekend getaway where you need dog boarding. I like that the facility is right by the airport so it's very convenient to pick up/drop off your doggo. I also like how they keep up with their social media, so it's nice to see them play while you're away. The only real downside is that there's not a ton of play time in a day (something you have to pay extra for if you want more), so I do still feel a little bad that my buddy is stuck in his little room for majority of the day. read more

Bought my pup there for a trial day and it was good! She enjoyed herself. She did real well playing with others and when she started running circles in the play area and noticed other dogs didn't like that, they pulled her out for a break, and placed her back into the room with the more calm dogs and she did great! They don't offer hourly rate, as I just want her there just to learn to socialize and play for only a hour or two max as she's an only dog in the household and she LOVES playing with other dogs, but if I ever need to do a half day or a whole day, I'd take her back here to play. It's more controlled than the dog park and helps while we're still working on recall. Super close to our house, very convenient! read more

My puppy Dax is 6 months old now and absolutely LOVES daycare. I started taking him here around 4 months old to get him socialized. When I park the car in front of Paws VIP, he immediately perks up and climbs over me to get out. Once he's inside, his entire body starts wagging out of excitement and he greets the staff like they're fresh bacon. He's essentially like, "Mom, who dat?" I love that I can check in on Instagram to see him playing throughout the day. He's wiped out when I pick him up and I know he's had a full day of enrichment. The staff always give me tips and updates too, like how to get him to be better in baths or how well he played with his buds that day. Dax also gets his grooming done here. He came home with a super cute bandana, with perfectly trimmed nails, and smelled amazing! You can trust your cool pups and kitties are going to be in pawesome hands here, no matter what service(s) you choose. Paws down. read more

They they super friendly. They gave me tour for facility before dropping my dog. I was amazed how clean it is.

All in all, I've come multiple times and the groomers do a good job and my dog comes back fresh and clean. However I had a poor customer experience at the counter today so I'm posting a review to just recommend others to ask for pricing details up front in the future, every single time they get grooming here. After I paid for my dogs grooming today, before I left the desk I asked the staff to break down the pricing for me. Since I had come before and had good experiences, I assumed it would be on the up and up and (this was my fault) I hadn't confirmed specifically the price when I booked this time. But, when I asked, they could not explain to me even at a basic level the price I was paying, only that it was "what I paid last time and they swapped out one service from last time with a different one". The manager eventually came over to help but the whole interaction was still very flustered and left me with some questions. I would expect a professional business to be able to explain to me "base price was this, and then you added on this service for this much". It should be as simple as that. I also checked my account when I got home and actually their explanation of it being the same price doesn't hold up - the price I paid has actually gone up - 85 to 95 and now to 115 over about two years. I double checked the invoices and the service listed the last few times is identical. (I could guess price increase due to inflation... But given that the staff were so flustered by me asking for a breakdown of the price Im beginning to wonder if there's not some arbitrary pricing going on). Less of a big deal, but the groomer was also not aware of the promotions they were running even though they were posted on their door so we ended up paying for nail trimming when nail grinding should have been included. Oh well. Again, they do a good job grooming but I know I'll ask for pricing up front every time going forward and I suggest you do too. read more
