Doggy Day Care in Matthews

“I highly recommend Elizabeth and Kevin. I really liked how we had a quick meet and greet before Maximus staying there. Great communication throughout the process and the day he was there. Plenty of pictures and for a first time stay, I had no worries, which speaks volumes. 100% he will be coming back. :)”

About: Years of dog and cat caretaking and puppy training. Familiar with pets that have anxiety or trust issues. Equipped with pet first aid necessities and knowledge. Would love to take care of yours too! I am a nurse that works 3-4 days a week with a partner that works from home full time. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats that we prioritize our schedule and decisions around. Our pets enjoy daily walks, a fenced in yard, numerous toys, and multiple scratch pads/towers. We have a fenced in yard and walkable neighborhood within range of a dog park. We have gates, crates, and beds of all sizes as well as room for animals to enjoy their own space. We currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs that socialize together all day long.

“My puppy just had her first daycare visit with Dana. She was wonderful, and I was blown away by her love for the dogs she cares for. She took such great care of Ruby and gave lots of updates throughout the day. Looking forward to many future visits!”

About: Thanks for reaching out! We’re often flooded with dog requests through Rover and beyond, so replies may take a bit. If your booking is 2+ weeks out, please know we haven’t forgotten you—we prioritize upcoming stays to ensure current pups are well cared for. Thanks for your patience and understanding! Waking up every day to the same routine with animals is one of the biggest reasons I get out of bed—it fills me with purpose and joy! Every animal brings something new and special, and I truly look forward to what each day holds with them. Over the past 9 years, I’ve learned to feel what dogs are feeling, and that connection has become my superpower—because let’s be real, they don’t speak English, but they speak with their hearts, and I’ve learned to listen to that! 🐾❤️✨ I have extensive experience in pet care, having owned and operated a successful dog kennel and training business. I specialize in obedience training, socialization, and caring for both puppies and senior dogs. My hands-on experience allows me to handle dogs of all temperaments and provide a safe, loving environment. Whether it’s administering medication, working on behavioral training, or giving them plenty of playtime, I ensure every pet gets personalized care. My passion and dedication set me apart, making sure your furry family members are in the best hands. Safety is and will always be priority! 💕 we’re dedicated to providing a safe, structured, and loving environment for every dog in our care. As a private, home-based service—not a walk-in facility—we kindly ask that pet parents do not enter our home during drop-off or pick-up unless we kindly request. This isn’t about cleanliness—our space is well-kept—but about safety, structure, and respecting our environment. Unplanned visits can increase anxiety for dogs and disrupt carefully managed routines and introductions. For both privacy and religious reasons, we limit access to personal areas. Rest assured, your pup is in experienced, professional hands. Thanks for helping us keep things calm and safe for all! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have experience managing a dog boarding and training business, so my days revolve around providing consistent care, exercise, and attention to pets. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, training, or cuddles, I make sure each pet gets the love and structure they need. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate different routines, ensuring pets feel at home and well cared for. I provide a safe, loving environment with a fenced yard. I accommodate all needs, including crating, medication administration, and supervised playtime. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities!

“Alicia & Don are a sweet and very nice couple. They took care of my sweet boy and he was very happy. They keep me update and sent me pics of my boy. I am so happy o was able to find a nice family to take care of my boy when I need it.”

About: I have 9yrs experience of taking care of a German Shepard mix. I understand no two dogs are the same and each some with their own personalities and needs. I work fully remote at home and have a pretty flexible schedule! That being said, I would be available 24/7 and happy to organize a pick up or drop off time that works best for you. I have a 2,300sq foot house in Cotswold with a huge fenced in backyard. I’m happy to host here or at your house based on your pets needs. I don’t have any pets and just one roommate whose hallway will be blocked off. Otherwise, my home environment is calm and open.

“Dropped our 2 dogs off for day care. They were well cared for and received plenty of attention. Liliana was very responsive to questions and flexible on the schedule change. Will definitely book again!”

“Jennifer and her dog Boomer were amazing!! They made my dog Lenny feel right at home! Boomer and Lenny played all afternoon in Jennifer’s beautiful fenced in back yard and Lenny slept great when he got home from a full day of fun! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for their dog to have a great day!!”

“Tina is a wonderful sitter! Our girl, Ripley, loved her and kept giving her lots of kisses when we picked her up so we know she had a great time. She keeps you updated and sends pics, which we really appreciated. We will def book with her again.”

About: Greetings! I’ve been a devoted animal lover and dog owner since childhood. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of raising and training four dogs from puppyhood—two who lived long, happy lives, one beloved girl I lost to cancer at age 10, and now my current companion, Miss Lumen, a two-year-old chocolate lab full of personality and love. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs, including those requiring daily medication or insulin shots (one of my mom’s dogs had diabetes, so I’m very comfortable with injections and schedules). I’m home full time, so your dog will always be supervised. If I ever need to step out briefly—like for a grocery run—each dog has their own room to relax in safely. I also have two pet cameras that allows me to monitor, speak to, and even toss treats to your pup remotely. So I’m always connected and watching over them. I can easily accommodate dogs who need to eat separately or have specific routines. I truly aim to make your pet feel like part of the family while they’re here. Here’s what your dog can expect during their stay: - Constant supervision and individual attention. - HEPA Air filters in every room for cleaner air. - Four fresh water options, including a ceramic fountain. - A zero-plastic home—only ceramic and stainless steel bowls. - Enrichment activities like a sniff mat, puzzle toys, and open crates (if your dog prefers one) - A variety of healthy treats and toys. We do not offer hard bones for teeth health. - A treat-tossing pet camera for real-time monitoring and interaction—even when I’m briefly away. Daily photo updates uploaded to a private Google Drive folder so you can check in anytime. I used to work in the photography field, so I LOVE to post photos of them for you. You can also download these images to keep furrrever! <3 As a fellow pet parent, I understand how much trust goes into choosing the right sitter. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities—just like I’d expect for my own sweet Lumen if someone were watching her. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or special requests. I'm also very open to meet & greets to ease any anxieties. I’d love to learn about your pup and make their time here as enjoyable and stress-free as possible! I'm currently home full-time, so I have lots of time to devote to play time, walks and cuddles. My schedule is flexible to accommodate any time for drop offs and pickups, so feel free to reach out to me if you have any requests or specifications. I have one dog that is very friendly that can keep your pet company. She loves to play but also recognizes when dogs need a break from play. She is very accommodating for her fur friends. We do not live in a neighborhood so there is a lot of outdoor space and a whole back yard to run in!

About: I guarantee your dog will love us and want to come back! We don't just care for your dog, we play with them and treat them like our own. We have experience with day boarding, play dates, dog walking, overnight boarding, and long term boarding up to 6 weeks in length. Your dog will be in our care the entire time. I stay at home with our kids whom I homeschool. My husband works from home. We have a lovable mini labradoodle that loves to play and will make your pup feel at home instantly! We take time to walk your dog and go for car rides as much as your pup prefers! We have a one acre fenced yard your pup is welcome to explore. Being a family with children, there is plenty of love to be given.

“Jane and her husband are very nice, ! I felt comfortable leaving Benito in their care.”

About: Since I was young, I’ve had a special connection with animals. I grew up in a home with dogs and cats, and over time, I became the go-to person for friends and family whenever they needed someone to care for their pets while they traveled. For over 10 years, I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds and sizes, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring special care. I’ve also cared for cats, learning to respect their unique personalities and needs. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, love, and routine to ensure every pet feels safe and happy under my care. I work from home, so I have plenty of time and a flexible schedule to care for your pets. Whether they need walks, playtime, or just companionship, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I’m passionate about. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddles, your furry friend will receive plenty of attention and a home-like environment where they can feel happy and relaxed.

About: I adore animals, and always want you to trust that your precious dog or cat is comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I’ve been a pet owner most of my life. I grew up with dogs, hamsters, and fish, and have pet-sat dogs and cats since childhood. I care for several friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, both young and elderly, both in and out of my home. I have experience caring for a friend’s older rescue pup, working her way through trauma and trust issues, who has slowly warmed up to me. My family of five humans currently have a beloved dog, Sunny, and sweet little hamster, Poppy. I work part-time from my home, so I have a lot of free time for drop-ins, walks, daycare, and boarding. I enjoy time in my house and yard, playing with my dog, as well as taking walks, so dogs are the perfect companions! I have a fenced-in yard, and let my dog outside throughout the day and evening (although she prefers being inside). I also have gates that can be used to limit access to certain rooms or stairs as needed. I don’t use a crate for my dog or others I’ve watched in the past, but will if needed for the dog’s safety, anxiety, or comfort.

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. I grew up with a variety of dogs and cats, and even considered veterinary school before choosing a career in nursing. Now, I work full-time from home as a triage nurse, which allows me to care for animals throughout the day while being present with my family. Our home is filled with love and furry friends—including our adored German Shepherd, a cuddly orange tabby cat, and two playful guinea pigs. My 6-year-old daughter arguably loves animals even more than I do! She’s been raised to treat all creatures with kindness and enjoys helping care for them every chance she gets. We enjoy going on adventures, daily walks, and weekend outings, but we also love cozy days at home. My husband is off on weekends, and we love including dogs in our family activities. I treat every pet like my own and will spoil them with love, attention, and care. We’re so excited to welcome new dogs into our home and can’t wait to make them part of our extended furry family! I work full-time from home as a triage nurse, working three 12-hour shifts each week, so I am available most days/times of the week! My schedule gives me the flexibility to take breaks throughout the day to let the fur kids outside for fresh air and playtime. My home office is the favorite hangout spot—our pets love to keep me company while I work! My husband is off on weekends, and we love incorporating the dogs into our weekend activities, whether it's going for walks, exploring local parks, or just relaxing at home. On my days off, I’m usually around the house, with the occasional errand or trip to one of my daughter’s activities. I’m also an avid runner and make time for daily walks—sometimes more than one! We’re excited to welcome your pups into our home and can’t wait to include them in our family’s routine and adventures. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a fully enclosed 6-foot privacy-fenced yard—perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Our home is within walking distance to downtown Matthews, so your pup can enjoy daily walks and fun neighborhood adventures. Inside, your pet will feel right at home. Our furniture and beds are open to all furry guests—because in our house, your dog is family. Whether they’re lounging in my home office or snuggled up on the couch, they’ll be treated with love and care. I pride myself on excellent communication and will keep you updated with multiple daily messages and photos. Whether your dog is relaxing in my home office or joining us for weekend outings, you’ll always feel confident and connected knowing your pet is being treated like family every step of the way.

I'm a very active person and am willing to take dogs on long walks, hikes or even runs, but also have a fenced in yard for dogs that prefer to stay close to home. I have a soft spot for older dogs, as I was the primary caregiver for my childhood dog that lived to be 16 years old. I've also gained a ton of experience with shy dogs during covid, as I foster failed with my current dog, who was a completely feral, terrified street dog. She is now a sweet pet who loves when other dogs come to visit! I currently work from home, and can make time throughout the day for cuddles, walks and yard time with the pups in between work meetings. My house is a safe environment for you pet. I make sure to do slow introductions with my dog and any new dogs coming into the house, and the dogs eat in separate rooms (no matter how well they get along). Yard time is always supervised.
