Where Your Dog Feels Right at Home

My husband and I make a great team when it comes to your pups . We provide a loving, structured dog boarding and daycare in a calm, home-style environment. Each dog receives attentive care, safe socialization, and a routine that supports their comfort and well-being. For the safety and success of all pups in our care, all dogs must be house trained and crate trained prior to boarding and day care services. They also must be leash and harness trained . Late pickups are subject to a late fee to ensure fairness and proper scheduling for all clients.

My puppy absolutely loved her stay at Matthew's! We received plenty of photos and videos throughout her time there, which kept us reassured. They were also very accommodating with our last-minute change request. Our pup came home happy, relaxed, well-fed, and clean. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring boarding place.

Matthew watched our three dogs for 21 days, he sent updates frequently and communicated concerns with us right away. From the photos they looked comfortable and loved. Upon receiving the dogs we obtained a detailed report on each dog and their daily schedule. Would recommend, would rebook!

These guys were great! Very flexible with time and schedule and had great communication. My fur babies came back home in the same loving condition they were left in. I received pics from the time I dropped them off & home was very neat. I would definitely recommend and rebook with these guys again! Thank you Matthew!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

Pet care is thoughtfully built into my daily and weekly routine. Each day includes scheduled feeding times, potty breaks, enrichment activities, rest periods, and consistent supervision to ensure every dog feels secure and cared for. Throughout the week, I maintain structured routines, monitor behavior and health, communicate updates to pet parents, and keep all spaces clean and safe. This consistency allows me to provide reliable, high-quality care while meeting each dog’s individual needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I do require all pets to go through a meet and greet prior to boarding and day care services . My husband and I care for pets by creating a safe, calm, and structured environment that mirrors the comfort of home. In my home, pets receive consistent feeding schedules, regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of rest. I follow each pet’s routine closely and ensure all dogs are house trained and crate trained for a smooth and stress-free stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their established routines by following provided instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and comfort preferences. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and clear communication, providing updates so pet parents feel confident and connected while they’re away.

Pets

A typical day

. A typical day is structured, engaging, and centered around each dog’s comfort and energy level. The day begins with morning potty breaks and feeding, followed by supervised playtime and enrichment activities. Throughout the day, dogs enjoy structured play, short walks, mental stimulation games, and calm socialization, balanced with scheduled rest and crate time to prevent overstimulation. Fun activities include interactive play, enrichment toys, basic training reinforcement, scent games, outdoor time (weather permitting), and relaxation periods that help dogs feel settled and secure. Each dog’s routine is adjusted to their age, temperament, and needs to ensure a happy, safe, and fulfilling day in my care.

Before providing care, it’s important for me to know key details about each pet to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. This includes feeding schedules, potty routines, crate training status, temperament, social behavior with other dogs, any medical needs or medications, allergies, and emergency contact information. I also ask about triggers, fears, or special comforts so I can tailor care to each pet and maintain a calm, structured environment.
