For the Love of Dog!

🐾 Golden Retrievers and Chocolate Labs may be our favorites—but truly, we love ALL of the dogs! 💛 If your pup is friendly with kids and other pets, they’ll fit right into our pack.🐾 With 25+ years of dog experience, your pup is in caring, capable hands. Our family includes, me-Nicole, my husband-Aaron, two dog-loving daughters (ages 8 & 6), our playful Golden Retriever, Molly (5), and our sweet senior Beagle, Crosby (13). Your dog will have built-in companionship, fun, play, and lots of love! 🐶 What your pup’s stay looks like: * Daily neighborhood walks (based on weather & energy level) * Park-trail outings (no dog parks for safety) * Tons of snuggles, playtime, relaxation, and attention at home ☀️ Availability: * Full-time care during summer, holidays, and weekends * Flexible scheduling whenever needed *During the school year, I’m away from 7:15–4:30, but Aaron, my husband, works from home—so your pup will rarely be alone. *On sunny days, dogs can enjoy our fully fenced, turfed backyard with easy in-and-out access. 💊 Extra care & Creature comforts: * Oral medications, if needed * Frequent photo & video updates 📸 * Backup food available (Taste of the Wild—grain-free bison) * extra crate available for **crate-trained pups** under 40 lbs ⏰ Drop-off & Pick-up: *Preferred between 4:00–5:30 PM (or earlier), but we’re happy to be flexible! We're fairly go with the flow. ✔️ A few house guidelines: To keep everyone safe and happy, we ask that pups are: * Potty trained & housebroken * Gentle with the home (no destructive chewing) *loving to all people and pets If any unexpected damage occurs, we’ll communicate and find a fair solution together. We know how much your dog means to you—that’s why *For the Love of Dog*, we treat every pup like one of our own. 🐾💛

Nicole looked after Glory, our 4 year old golden, for four days and she was a delight. We received lots of pup-dates and she got so much love and attention, would highly recommend

Very wonderful and communicative with how my pup was doing at doggy day care. A wonderful test for a longer term boarding stay with them :)

Nicole and her family were so lovely! Poppy had a great time in their home. Nicole communicated well, sent updates, and was so sweet and kind to our Poppy girl - she didn’t want to come home. We had a last minute flight delay and Nicole was very easy to work with to accommodate our travel.

Nicole and her family took great care of our Bear over the Christmas holidays. They sent sweet photos and communication was great. It’s always nice not having to worry about your pet while you’re away and know that they’re getting plenty of attention from the whole family ♥️🐻🐾

***Your pet MUST get along well with other dogs and young children! PLEASE be sure your pet is housebroken and doesn’t have potty or poopy accidents. Your pet will go out 1x every 2-3 hours. ***In summer, fall, and spring, we like to leave the backdoor open for fresh air, so fur babies can come and go as they please.
