Home full-time - fenced grass yard!

Pet care experience

Fully vaccinated household! I provide a safe and fully supervised environment for your dog (including a large fenced grass yard with lots of dog toys), and they will be treated like my own pet. I am trained on dog body language and behavior to ensure the safety and well being of all dogs under my care. My golden retriever Luna is AKC CGC (canine good citizen) certified and will provide plenty of socialization and companionship. She loves to play if your dog does, but is also happy just relaxing! Before staying with us, we'll meet with you and your dog to ensure they will be a good fit. You can trust that I will take care of your dog in every way possible. I work from home full-time so your dog will never be left alone aside from the occasional errand. Your dog will be staying in a stress-free environment with lots of love, treats, and positive reinforcement! If your dog has any special needs, I am happy to accommodate them. My goal is to always provide the best possible experience for the dog and owner. I provide much more one-on-one attention than a typical boarding kennel does, so your dog will have my full attention 100% of the time. *Will occasionally host more than 1 dog per day/night based on temperament.

Matt was great with Brinkley. She came home more relaxed than when I dropped her off.

Another great stay with Matthew and Luna. Everything is so easy-from communication to drop off and pick up. I feel very comfortable leaving Pemba there and she loves it too!

Pemba loves visiting Matthew and Luna! They play in the yard and go on walks, and we always get photos of our happy dog. Thanks for another great stay!

This review is long overdue. My Lexi is a special girl and she considers Matt and Luna’s home to be her second home. Lexi has visited over a dozen times and I truly believe she is her happiest self when staying there. Matt is the best out there with a perfectly set up yard. Dog heaven for my Lexi. ❤️
