Doggy Day Care • Jun 30, 2026

Molly and Mathew had great rapport from the “git-go”. Mathew is a genuine dog person and Molly knew this immediately. Molly obviously had a good time and came home calm and content. I intend for Mathew to be my regular local go-to care giver for Molly.

Matthew was awesome. He took great care of my two dogs while I was away all weekend and sent me updates pictures which meant a lot to me. I already felt guilty for leaving them and it was the first time ever Junior and I had ever been apart overnight or ever. After I picked them up Sunday night they both came home and zonked out they had a blast with Matthew. I am so thankful we chose Matthew. Bonus points for his immaculate house and very animal friendly environment.

Schedule

I'm retired and caring for pets is absolutely my favorite way to spend all this available time. When I'm not caring for someone's pets directly, I volunteer at shelters and rescues. I am available to care for your pet(s) full time.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large, fenced yard with plenty of shade, and pet beds, blankets, and even cat trees in the house. I don't currently have any pets of my own in my home, and I am able to care for your pet in my home if desired. I am a retired police officer and can be trusted to give your pet(s) the very best care in your home, if desired. I have several years of experience administering medication to pets as well.

A typical day

Depending on what your pet enjoys doing for fun, we can stroll around the neighborhood (and say hi to other pets if desired), hike through the woods or run around and play in the large, fenced yard. I also have cat trees and cat toys as well.

If your pet has any needs regarding behavior, diet, medication, or any other special needs, I will be happy to accommodate them. I have a ramp built on my deck for any pets that have trouble negotiating stairs.
