Pet care experience

Dog’s best friend! Excited to care!

I only know a life with dogs, as I got my first as a child and haven’t lived without one ever since. Most recently, my wife and I had TWO 17 year old dogs that both lived to almost 18 years old, which we raised since puppies. They each had their own medical challenges over the years, but we both have an extraordinary amount of patience and care for our fur babies and have kept them strong for their ages! We’re always asked what our secret is. We treat every animal like our own and you can have the peace of mind that your pets are receiving top notch, genuine attention. Additionally, I enjoy being outdoors and active, in any weather, and am happy to get those energetic dogs out plenty.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard, but happy to take your pets for walks too. I have Shihtzu, but he sleeps all day and is OK around other dogs. I also have 2 children. Thetefore, a dog staying in my home will need to be good around kids and other dogs.

Matt and Christianna take such great care of Toby when he has stayed with them! He is so happy when we pull up! They send pictures of him throughout his stay and he seems so happy and well taken care of!

Matthew took great care of our dog Ariel. He really cares about her and made sure she ate well and gave her love and attention while we were away. He communicated after each visit to make sure we knew how things were going.

Doggy Day Care • May 24, 2026

Very sweet family, they made me feel really comfortable leaving my little floof with them as this was my first time using Rover. They sent over so many photos and made sure I was up to date on how he was doing. They were supper accommodating to Benji’s needs. Highly recommend, I plan to use them again for any future needs.
