Your puppy’s second home!
Pet care experience
Pets are family in our home. Even the pets that are just visiting. I keep my daycare and boarding numbers low to guarantee a safe, stress free environment for your pet. I give each puppy a dry shampoo rub in the afternoon so they won’t come back to you smelling like a kennel. I’ll happily give them a full bath on especially muddy days. *To ensure the best care for your dogs, I only keep 4 dogs a day for daycare/ boarding. They have free roam of our dog-friendly home.* I'm breed savvy with decades of experience caring for rescues and special needs pups. I'm excited to meet your dog and love them like family!
Reviews
We’ve used Matthew many times for doggy daycare & a boarding trip. Our dog Lucci still goes sprinting up Matthew’s driveway everytime we drop him off. We are thankful to have found him! =)
My pup always has such a great time and I have peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands. Thank you!
Matt is excellent with communication and sending the best update pictures! He takes great care of Jack!
Matt is amazing with Jack and always so accommodating and polite. I get the best photos of Jack from daycare and updates throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment
Our goal is to provide ‘small batch’, personalized, daycare and boarding. We have a .25 acre fenced yard with large trees for shade and pet-safe landscaping. We also have a large brick patio with plenty of beds and an outdoor fan for lounging. If boarding, we keep pups in crates in our living room, or our bedroom if they need extra love. If your pup is not crate trained, we are happy to set up a bed in our room.

Information Matthew B. would like to know about your pet
I love all dogs. If your dog has any issues (social or medical), let me know beforehand so I can accommodate their needs. I want them to love coming here and to be able to host them for repeat visits.
A typical day
Your dog’s day starts with a nice long walk in the early am. Then, home for breakfast and medicines (if required). The pups can join me outside for yard work and play or nap in the sunroom that looks out over the backyard. Weather permitting, we run the sprinklers for a bit of water play. In the afternoon, we have lunch and another long walk when the weather cools.

I'm a retired PhD now at home full time. My daughter started 5th grade and my wife works a hybrid schedule. I spend my days outside (or in) with our 2 dogs and 2 cats.
