Pet care experience

Thanks for stopping by! Stephen and Dave here. We are avid lovers of dogs, and we would love to take care of yours! Since we are both writers and creators, we work from home and have a flexible schedule in order to care for extra houseguests on a regular basis. We are pretty easygoing; We’ll customize your dog's boarding experience and walks to suit your needs, whether that includes additional exercise, administering medication, or really most any circumstance that might be considered unique. Let's set up a meet and greet! All dogs are free to roam the space as they please; We have dog beds, though most owners bring their own. If they’re people dogs, they’re in for lots of cuddles and affection. We let the animals tell us what they need. Caring for your four-legged friends fits right into our routine, as working from home creates the freedom to always be at their beck and call. Dogs are fed and walked to their individual owners specifications. All my visiting friends are allowed on the furniture for maximum snuggles. We do not board aggressive or overly anxious dogs, so your pup will be safe. I do regular meet and greets with new K9 clients to assure a good fit.

Up until now, we had only left our boy with family or friends and this felt just as comfortable. We got regular updates with pictures and videos of our little guy on walks, playing, and snoozing that gave us complete peace of mind that he was having a blast and felt safe and cozy. Stephen and David were so kind and friendly and you can tell absolutely love dogs and genuinely enjoy getting to know your pet from their personality to their dislikes and specific needs. 10/10 will absolutely book again.

Title: Outstanding Care for Our Beloved Spike From the very first meeting, it was clear that Stephen and his partner, the dog sitters, were something special. Our 16 months old Spike took to them instantly. Throughout his stay, I was reassured with regular pictures and updates that not only showed me just how comfortable he was, but also how much fun he was having. It's not often you come across sitters who genuinely treat your pet as their own, but this is exactly what they did. Their thoughtful service exceeded all my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any pet parent out there seeking peace of mind while away from their furry friend. Spike is already looking forward to his next visit!

Information Stephen Matzke &. would like to know about your pet

Based on past experience and the space I have to work with, dogs under the age of 1year, overly energetic or aggressive pups, or fur friends with separation anxiety are not usually a good fit. Also, let me know if your dog requires any special care I’ve not addressed here such as administering of medication or any other caveats.

A typical day

We’d start the morning off with walk and a meal, have some down time in the afternoon before walk number two, which might include a trip to the park or dog park. Then more down time before dinner and a before-bed walk.
