Loving dog care in South Boulder

Pet care experience

I'm a work-from-home writer with a Goldendoodle named royal who loves when other dogs visit our home. I've grown up with dogs, and love seeing them happily running around in our fully-fenced back yard. I aim to show all dogs the same love I have for my sweet pup.

I was nervous leaving Ranger with someone new but Matt made me feel so comfortable by sending lots of pics! Ranger had such a great time he didn’t want to go home 🤣 Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for doggie day care and will use Matt’s services again in the future!!

Matt is fantastic. Took such great care of our family dog and kept us updated to let us know she settled in well. Royal is a sweet pup who played well with ours. Awesome care all around!

Matt was absolutely amazing with my Pippin and made it so easy for me to part with Pippin for the day. I would 100% recommend Matt for anyone who is nervous about leaving your pet for the day.

I've known Matt for over 25 years, since we were in grade school. He is a fantastic and trustworthy guy. He and his partner are in fact the emergency contacts for my children at school, he's the number one person I know that I would trust with my own kids, and certainly with my dog! I have a dog, and have had dogs my whole life, and I know Matt is great with dogs - I've known many of his dogs over the years and seen how good a dog dad he is. Our dogs hang out together all the time, at our houses, on hikes and camping trips. Trust me, Matt is your guy!

A typical day

A typical day at our house begins with breakfast and then ample outdoor time. After an hour or more of play in the backyard, dogs can nap in the office with me while I work. Around mid-day we take a walk in the neighborhood before going out in the backyard for more play. If she’s around, our neighbor Marigold (goldendoodle) often joins in on play time. Dinner is around 6p. Since I work from home, days are able to be structured around the needs of our dog and visiting dogs. Weekends usually involve a hike in the nearby Boulder County open spaces.

I work from home, so it's easy for me to let visiting doggos out for frequent backyard bathroom breaks and playtime with my boy Royal. I usually make time for a mid-day walk around the block, but most of our outdoor time is in the backyard. On weekends my partner and I usually go for at least 1 hike, somewhere in Boulder County.
