Highlights
Pet care experience
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), and our playful Golden Retriever, Molly (5). 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. 🐾💛

Ratings and reviews
Nicole and her family took such good care of our pup! She checked in frequently and shared photos often. Would absolutely book with them again next time we visit Bend

Nicole took care of our beloved Lottie as if she were family. Thank you!

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

Nicole and her family took such good care of our energetic and playful pup while we were out of town! Will definitely book again

Nicole took great care of my pup while I was out of town! Wonderful communication and photo updates :)

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 :)

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced and turfed yard but also enjoy nightly walks. Depends on the age, weather, and needs of the dog whether or not they join us on our walk.
Pets
A typical day
We will frequent the neighborhood sidewalks, park-trails, or hiking trails. We do not attend dog parks with our guests for safety reasons. We love to play tug-a-rope, fetch, and we LOVE to cuddle your pets when they are with us.
