Matthew was so wonderful and took the cutest a photos of Muffins time with him! He was able to accommodate a last minute booking and I’m very grateful. Also went out of his way to meet us at a drop off to help us avoid a lot of traffic. Very grateful to have someone take care of my fur baby while I was a tourist.

Matthew is great! My dog is a big boy with a lot of energy, and Matthew handles him beautifully.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 17, 2026

Matthew was great watching my pup Willa for a last minute doggy day care! He was kind and welcoming during the meet and greet and during her stay, and sent pictures throughout the day to keep me updated. Willa snuggled right up to them for some naps, which is always a sign she feels comfortable, safe, and happy. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future!
