Airport Cargo Dog Pick-Up & Boarding at SeaTac

Traveling with a dog via airline cargo can be overwhelming. All Barks of Life Hotel simplifies the process by handling your dog’s pickup, transport, and care—so you can focus on your travel with peace of mind.

Pick-Up & Boarding

Our trained staff picks your dog up directly from any airline cargo facility at SeaTac Airport and transports them safely to our lodge. From arrival to departure, your dog is cared for by an experienced team in a calm, secure environment.

This service is ideal for dogs flying via airline cargo, long layovers, or owners who want professional, seamless handling from airport to boarding facility.

Owner Responsibilities (Required)

To ensure a smooth and timely pickup, owners are responsible for providing all required airline paperwork in advance, including:

  • Airway Bill
  • Current Health Certificate.

These documents must be submitted to us ahead of time so we can coordinate properly with the airline cargo office. Without complete paperwork, we may not be able to complete pickup.

What Happens After Pick-Up

Once your dog arrives at the lodge, we focus on comfort and decompression:

  • A calm welcome and time to stretch or enjoy the yard
  • A freshly cleaned and sanitized kennel
  • A bath if needed after travel
  • Photos so you can see your dog is settled and happy

Returning Your Dog to the Airport

If your dog has a connecting flight or is scheduled to return home, we’ll transport them back to airline cargo at SeaTac.

We handle:

  • Coordinating drop-off with the airline
  • Returning your dog to cargo at least three hours before takeoff
  • Ensuring the airway bill provided by the owner is returned with your dog
