Doggy Day Care in Matlacha

“Friendly and safe spot for your pup. Attentive and communicative hosts who send pics to keep you informed. Highly recommend; we're passing thru on a winter journey and would feel comfortable sending my fur pup there again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4:4)”

“Olga was absolutely wonderful with Ruth and very accommodating to my unpredictable schedule at times. Ruth was newly adopted and had a couple issues, so I wanted to make her transition to her new life as easy as possible. Every time I picked her up, she was very happy and seemed to be coming out of her shell. I’m so grateful I found Olga on Rover and will definitely be a repeat client!”

“My dog was so happy over at Alain's house. I can tell the whole family truly loves dogs and treated him wonderfully. Thank you so much and I would recommend this pet sitter to anyone.”

“This was our first time with Mike and he was amazing between his flexibility and comfort with all different types of dogs! I will definitely be using Mike as another way for Charlie to burn off some energy with Shadow!!”

Svetlana M.

“Krista was amazing! When I was dropping Oliver off at her house, he immediately went right to Krista and proceeded to go inside her home like he had known her forever! It made it so easy to leave Oliver, knowing how comfortable he felt. I would definitely recommend Krista and will reach out to her again while staying here in Cape Coral.”

Colleen H.

“Definitely using Christine again! She took very good care of my pup. My pup had a good time with her dogs. Christine is very much a dog mom and cares for all pups well.”

Luisa G.

“Diana made our 4 month old puppy feel like he was at home. We received videos and pictures during the few hours we dropped him off. Would definitely recommend.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters: My sincere love and affection for animals started at a young age and has guided my life ever since. With 7 years of professional experience as a US Army Military Working Dog handler, certified dog trainer/ student instructor, and kennel master. During this time in my career I also fostered puppies in the 341st MWD Puppy Program at Lackland, Air Force Base. Volunteers foster puppies from 6 weeks to 7 months old, focusing on socialization before they begin formal training at 12 months. Building socialization and obedience foundations through gentle, positive methods. Now in Cape Coral, I offer premium boarding with structured routines, relaxing waterfront walks, and reinforcement of good manners. I'm especially skilled with puppies (nurturing early confidence and training) and seniors (gentle, low-stress care). You get military-honed discipline combined with genuine warmth and lots of love—your pup comes home happy, relaxed, and even better behaved! Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine. I'm retired and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care. I'm usually home most of the day, with time built in for multiple structured walks (often along our beautiful waterfront paths), play sessions, training reinforcement, and plenty of quiet downtime. I treat boarding like a premium retreat: routines include regular potty breaks, meals on schedule, and lots of one-on-one affection to keep your pup relaxed and happy. I'm available for drop-offs/pick-ups that fit your needs, and I can adjust for longer stays or special requests. Since my background is in professional dog handling, I thrive on creating calm, predictable days—your dog gets the structure and love they deserve without ever feeling like an afterthought! Safety and trust are always my top priorities. Your pet's happiness and security come first in my calm, loving Cape Coral home. We have a fenced waterfront yard that's secure, spacious, and escape-proof (with no direct access to the water for extra peace of mind). It's ideal for safe supervised play, potty breaks, and relaxing outdoor time. Indoors, the space is clean, hazard-free, and cozy with plenty of comfy spots and fresh water always available. I maintain structured yet relaxed routines with regular checks, positive reinforcement of manners, and lots of one-on-one affection. Plus, we have my 4-year-old Boxer, Tyson—he's extremely sociable, sweet, loving, and gentle, always eager to make new friends! He thrives on playdates and gentle interactions, so compatible pups often enjoy having a fun, well-mannered buddy around (I do careful, slow introductions to ensure everyone feels safe and happy). I follow your care instructions precisely (feeding, meds, exercise), provide daily photo updates, and create a premium, waterfront retreat where dogs feel loved and secure.

“Our pup, Hallie, loved staying with Lauren, Chris, and their dog, Winston. They are very warm and welcoming, not to mention very flexible, responsive, and accommodating. Winston is a sweet, playful dog that Hallie had a great time becoming friends with. We hope they will watch Hallie for us many times in the future and feel very comfortable and confident that she is being well taken care of when we are away from home.”

About: I have loved dogs since I was a small child growing up with them, and later I worked in an animal shelter in my country. I am available Monday to Friday and weekends. You just have to send a message to my phone and we could talk about your sweet pet. My house has a nice fenced in backyard with a large lai nai. It is a safe and calm environment to care for your pet

“So happy to have found Pamela as our first sitter on Rover. She set up a meet and greet to make sure our dog was compatible with others and to see her space- it's a cute setup complete with a shallow pool that is perfect for hot days. I got updates through the day and Tazzie came home exhausted- we will definitely be requesting future visits for daycare and boarding.”

“Jessica was kind and professional. Was very understanding and accommodating of my unpredictable schedule. Both my boys clicked with her!”

About: I just lost my two pittie babies at 15.5 and 16.5 years and am looking to help other pet parents ❤️ I have rescued a new baby named Bug who is almost 2 years old and she LOVES all dogs! Our yard is 1/2 acre and fenced in so plenty of room to run! I love making sure dogs are spoiled when their parents are away and always look after my friends dogs if they go on vacation! I'm law enforcement certified so you're dogs and house are safe with me! I can run with the dogs, play inside with them, walk with them, bring them to the vet or groomers, help train them simple commands, and give them tons of love while your gone! Whatever your dog needs, I can handle it and do what is best for you and them! I love being around all dogs (and cats, and rabbits, and any animal!) and am happy to help where I can! I work about 3 nights a week and my husband works days so there is always someone at the house to watch the pups and make sure they're comfortable. I have a fenced in yard and a lake for swimming if they like the water! They will always be supervised and cared for as of they were my own!

“I found Michele &Drew to be wonderful mixture of understanding animals enough to initially being careful of how they introduced Maya into their “pack”, and relaxed enough to enjoy and have fun w the pups They were great and sending texts to keep in touch, taking Maya for walks and understanding my dogs quirky behavior I feel fortunate to have met them and hope to continue w many more visits”

“Jessica is AMAZINGGGG! I am so picky with who I select to watch my pup and I had zero worries with my sweet boy in Jessica’s care. She sent me updates throughout the day and my boy was always happy and comfy in every photo. Jess is the best and I highly recommend using her. ◡̈”
