At The Retriever Inn, I believe dogs deserve more than just a place to stay. They deserve care that feels familiar, space to breathe, and the comfort of a gentle, predictable routine. That belief is what led me to build a boarding experience designed specifically around Golden Retrievers. 

​​

As a lifelong dog lover (and proud Golden Retriever mom) who understand just how much trust it takes to leave your best friend in someone else’s care. Inspired by my own dogs and a very short list of people I’d trust them with, I set out to build the kind of boarding experience I always wished existed: personal, peaceful, and intentionally designed for Goldens.

​

I'm a native Oregonian and longtime Central Oregon resident, proud to care for Golden Retrievers in the place I love most. My heart belongs to the high desert, the open skies, and the Goldens who call it home. 

​

The Inn is small by design. Every Golden guest is cared for by me, from early morning walks past the pastures to nightly room service and tuck-ins. I keep things intentionally simple: one rate, all the care, no upsells. My approach is rooted in transparency, individualized attention, and genuine affection.

​

I'm proud to offer Fear Free handling, enrichment-driven routines, and a stay experience designed to help guests feel safe, loved, and at ease, and to help their humans feel just as confident.

​

I'm so glad you found The Retriever Inn and honored to be considered as caretaker for your Golden. Welcome to a place where Goldens can truly be Goldens.

Cheers & tail wags,
