I'll care for your dog like family
Pet care experience
I have been caring for dogs for most my life. Years ago, when I lived in Long Beach, CA I worked with Tidy Dogs to foster dogs until a home was found. I also spent time to volunteer and help dogs wherever I could. One of those places was Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah. Doing this part time allowed me to be with dogs, help and that brings me happiness. It wasn't until years later when I boarded my dogs in Las Vegas is when I decided to start dog boarding. I had a bad experience so that made me want to board dogs as a means of helping and combing my volunteer work as a bonus to get paid to do something I love. My home is clean, Dog friendly, and I have 4 crates to house Dogs but dogs are free at my place and I even have a dog park. I use a lot of patio sunbrella cushions for dogs because they are easy to clean, does not collect fur and the dogs love the comfy seating. I also cook for my dogs. I buy a bulk of brown rice, celery, carrots, chicken and sweet potato. I make a delicious bulk meal and portion it once a week for my dogs and I can provide that for dogs that I board with permission. I have a Mastiff and a Jack Russel. They help me train the dogs when I board them. I have attached photos of my adventures with dogs. When your on vacation I want your dogs to feel like they are too so we go on our own adventures like bike rides, walks, fetch, swim and movie nights. Browse through my pictures and see the adventures i've had with all the amazing dogs that has blessed my life. Please contact me with any questions you may have.

Scarlet’s always so happy and tired coming home after a day of playing. We’re so thankful we have a safe place for Scarlet to stay while we’re out of town. Don’t know what we’d do with you!
Darlene and JoJo are absolutely amazing! I got lots of photos and videos of my babies while on a trip and I’ll never choose anyone else to watch my pets again. My dogs came back home happier and better behaved! Wonderful service.
I am so glad I found Darlene and JoJo! They are true animal lovers and will give your fur baby lots of love and attention. Freya had a blast playing endless fetch which is her favorite activity. JoJo sent regular photos and videos so we were always at ease. This is Freya's new 'home away from home' and I will definitely use them again!
We always feel comfortable leaving our dog with Darlene and we never have to worry about anything! She genuinely cares about the pups that are in her care and you can feel it as soon as you meet her. 10 out of 5 stars!

I have a fenced yard and can crate if needed. I'd rather they be free but if crate train is a request I can do that. Brushes, walks and playtime. Clean house and waters routinely changed. New dishes every time dog is fed.
Home
Information Darlene B. would like to know about your pet
Allergies, feeding requirements, temperament, physical problems and special request. The more info the better care. I reccomend written and laminated so every time your dog is boarded that info is always there.
A typical day
Walks, bike rides, brushes, swimming, belly rubs, playtime, fetch and movie nights. The dogs love our carriage bike rides on my bikes. Often people stop us to take a picture or pet the dogs.
