Meet the Team Raising the Bar for Pet Care

Every member of our team is trained and mentored in how we care for pets, and our Canine Behavior & Enrichment Specialists receive additional training in behavior, enrichment, and R+ methods.

Get Started

Our Values

What guides how we hire and train our team, and how we care for your pet.

Science-Backed Methods

Every membership walk is an R+ walk, built on positive reinforcement and force-free handling. Our Specialists reward the behavior we want to see more of and give dogs choices and space instead of using corrections. They train under a certified professional trainer.

Team-Based Care

Your pet is cared for by a dedicated team that follows the same approach and shares what they notice. Spending time with a few familiar people is good socialization, which adds enrichment and helps pets grow more confident.

Community-Rooted Care

We've been part of Seattle's pet community since 2007. Each team member works mainly in a few neighborhoods, so the people caring for your pet know your streets, parks, and trails.

How Our Team-Based Model Benefits Your Pet

At The Pet Care Club, your pet is supported by a trained team. Team members follow the same approach, stay in contact with one another, and share what they notice, so you have reliable backup when schedules shift and care stays consistent from visit to visit. Getting to know several familiar people also helps many pets grow more confident and adaptable.
