PACFA Certified Home-Based Boarding

Pet care experience

I have been a dog owner for 20 years and have been in the dog training industry for 5 years now. My wife and I own a local dog training business. We run our business from home and have an amazing personalized dog room and outside play area. Guaranteed great stay for your dog. Our home is certified by the Pet Animal Care and Facilities Act through the Colorado Department of Agriculture. This certification is a must in ensuring your dog is getting the care they deserve. Without this certification, in-home boarding is not regulated and is most likely against the law.

Matt was great. Picked up and delivered Cooper. Provided daily updates on my Springer Spaniel - Aussie mix. I could tell that Cooper enjoyed the care and attention he received. Matt has a large area back yard for romping, and I saw from the pictures from Matt that Cooper enjoyed the trail walks. Recommendation: Yes

Could not have found a better person for our dog to stay with. Matt was awesome and was even able to help our male Corgi overcome his fear of other dogs in just the few short days of his stay. 100% recommend using Matt for your pet sitting needs!!

Information Matt D. would like to know about your pet

We ask that your dog is up to date on all vet recommended shot. We’ll also need to know how they are with other people and other dogs. We do not take in aggressive dogs, dogs that bark excessively, or dogs that have ever bitten anyone. For everyone’s safety, we do have the dogs sleep in crates. We’ll need to know their feedings and daily exercise and any formal training you’ve had with the dog so we can do any upkeep/repetitions. We offer training! Make sure to ask for the info if you are interested

A typical day

Dogs go out for a 30 minute playtime every 2-3 hours. There are always dogs here so your dog will have playmates. We live about a minute from the High Chaparral Open Space and easy access to the Homestead Trail and Old Farm Park, so if your dog is good on walks, they can tag along.
