A fecal matter collection device for sanitary collection of feces from a pet includes a rod. A tube is slidably positioned around the rod. A first plate is coupled to and extends transversely from a bottom of the rod. Each of a pair of lines is coupled to and extends between the tube and a respective corner of the first plate distal from rod. Each of a plurality of liners is substantially complementary to, positionable on, and selectively couplable to the first plate. Each opposing side of the liner is selectively couplable to a respective line. The first plate is configured to intercept fecal matter that drops from a squatting pet. The liner separates the fecal matter from the first plate. The lines are positioned to compel the liner to separate from the first plate as the tube is motivated from a midpoint toward a top of the rod.
