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.

Suge had the best time and they’re so sweet and communicative! Will book again for sure!
Honestly one of the best boarding experiences I’ve had! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with him from day one — he was super personable and friendly, which made drop-off so much easier. Loved getting daily updates, it really put my mind at ease. I actually didn't even worry about my dog's safety the whole trip, which let me actually relax and enjoy my vacation for once lol. Will 100% be booking with them again!
I was traveling and found Stephen Matzke on the web site who lived close to my son's home. It was very easy to pick up and drop off my dog with Stephen. He took charge of my dog right away when meeting her and my dog surprised me when she walked off willingly with Stephen. She must have felt some good vibes with him as I did. I would definitely use him again when I am visiting my son!
5/5 Stars! I cannot recommend them enough. My dog suffers from severe separation anxiety and has a history of depression and not eating when left alone. Because of this, no one else has ever watched her before.They completely changed that. My dog absolutely fell in love with them. I received daily updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind—something I’ve never felt before while away. For the first time in my life, I felt 100% safe leaving her. She came home incredibly relaxed, happy, and in the best mood I have ever seen. They are true pup whisperers AND just very nice people 💛
I found my new boarder for my girls. My former boarder was flaky couldn’t fulfill my dates so I turned to Stephen and David and couldn’t be happier. I went on vacation with not a worry on how they were doing back home. I got many updates and pictures and picked up two very content dogs.
Stephen and David were absolute angels to our boy! We got so many pictures and videos and just could tell how comfortable Finn was! He was parkouring all over their place & not once did I feel a sense of judgement or annoyance from his crazy playing 😂 they loved on him and told us how sweet he was (which we always love!!) and are just so grateful for them! Will ABSOLUTELY be booking with them again if they’ll have him :) thank you guys so so much!!!

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.
