Highlights
Pet care experience
6ac. Dog Retreat Experienced Owners
Welcome to Calusa Kennels and Dog Retreat. We aim to be the last dog boarding service you will ever need in the Fort Myers, Estero, Corkscrew area. Both my wife, Samantha, and I have owned dogs our entire lives. We each have decades of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including our own dogs and other people's. Aside from providing any necessary care, I am experienced with training, including obedience and training bird dogs. Samantha is a nurse in the Trauma ICU and we both have experience providing basic medical care to pets.

Ratings and reviews
Absolutely phenomenal sitters. Our lab did not want tp leave. Dog paradise. And plenty of updates while we were gone. Definitely will be our #1 option going forward
Matt and Sam were great! Easy to contact and they sent tons of photos! Millie had a great time.
Matthew and Samantha take excellent care of Milo, he is exceited when he arrives at their house and is ready to play. Great communication and lots of pictures.
Provided last minute care for my two dogs. Had no issues (or health issues) and loved the pictures I got of them. Will definitely return to them for future boardings, my dogs were in heaven!
Milo came home happy and exhausted. Great communication and lots of pictures. Thank you so much!
Sunny had a wonderful time. He experienced a medical emergency and Matthew and Samantha did a fantastic job of keeping us informed and taking care of Sunny's recovery needs. They were so professional in keeping us up to date and providing the confidence of what was happening so our vacation was not interrupted. We are so happy with our decision to choose Matthew and Samantha for the care of our older dog. Thank you so much!!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a spacious 6 Acre fenced property to provide endless enjoyment, keep your dog safe and two of our own friendly labradors to keep them company. Dogs enjoy access to our home as well as lots of outdoor space(pastures, front yard, fenced pool area) for playing, walks, and relaxing. We have crates available when your dog needs separation for eating, sleeping, or they just need a break from the fun. Due to the cage-free environment we provide, WE CANNOT offer services for violent dog breeds or any dogs who are known to be violent around unknown dogs.
Pets
A typical day
Everything we do is catered to the dogs needs and the type of dog. Each dog is very different so the activities we do range from small dog activities to large dog activities, and from puppy training, to pampering your oldest and most loyal companion. We go for walks around the 6 acre property or on nearby trails. We have a wide variety of durable toys, our dogs love to play all games like fetch, tug of war, exploring, running laps around the pond, or the yard(with ~2 year old Kauia), or often relaxing in the shade/sun (with 11year old Kona) or cooling off inside after playtime. Depending on the dogs or owners preference, we occasionally splash in a dog pool or swim in the pool or more rarely the pond.
