I don't see a difference or a difficulty. Bootstrapping resamples from a set of observations (cases, records, rows in dataset) and paired values for two variables remain paired.

I'm not aware of a straightforward application of this in Stata. My impulse is to treat the t-test as a special case of regression, and thus use regress with a dummy predictor and bootstrapping of clustered standard errors, where the clustering is on the particular matched pair. > > Is there a reason why this does not make sense in principle or would not work in practice?
