We love dogs and cats! APG Only.
Pet care experience
My wife and I have taken care of dogs and cats for years now. I personally lived in homes with 3+ cats since 2016, so I have learned how to work with multiple cat personalities, litter issues, and basic cat love and care. My wife has had a dog since she was a kid. We have had experience training a puppy and working with newborn and nursing cats. We now currently have two dogs which we consider our babies, love to play with them outside and take them out on long walks. We have successfully trained our puppy loose leash walking, crate relaxing time, multiple commands, and other basic discipline training. Since we have our own dogs we are never gone from the house too long. We have a fenced in backyard where we let the dogs out. Your pet will never be alone because our dogs love to play and are dog and cat friendly. We will ensure your pet is out and about and not left in crate while we have them. We also have two crates, if your pet is crate trained we can accommodate them with one. We will house cats as well. We can check up on your cats if you use an automatic feeder while you are gone to make sure it is working, water is filled, and your cat(s) are healthy. We will even give them some love, playtime, and maybe a little wet food! We only watch APG pets.
Reviews
Matthew and Melissa were great with our two dogs for doggy daycare. They were able to accommodate our bigger, playful dog as well as our smaller, older Yorkie. Both seemed to have a good time, thank you!
Thank you so much for taking care of Ora and Eze! We'll see you again!
Melissa and Matt are absolutely wonderful! They took care of our Australian Shepherd for a few days during me and my husbands wedding. They were very communicative and flexible. They even coordinated with one of our wedding vendors to get our dog too and from our wedding. The process was seamless. They sent us pictures throughout the stay so we were assured Mason was okay. Their dogs seemed great and Mason loved playing with them. We would highly recommend them to anyone! Thanks so much guys!
Highly recommend Matthew and Melissa. Our pups stayed with them for 10 days and had a great experience. They navigated our high energy dog and our senior dog who needs a lot of medications with confidence and ease. They also communicate regularly and provide great updates so we knew how the day went for our guys. We’ll definitely be reaching out to them again in the future!
