Highlights
Pet care experience
FENCED PLAY AREAS, INDOOR & OUTDOOR
Visiting the national parks in Southern Utah? If you are visiting the national parks, your family can relax and enjoy the area. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I will make sure your dog feels right at home. We also have experience with shy and unconfident dogs and rescues. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! My normal hours are 6 am to 6 pm, 7 days a week. We can care for your pet with confidence when you are visiting Zion National Park and North Rim of the Grand Canyon and other parks around Kanab! We take dogs outside for potty breaks every 1 to 2 hours. During the summer months my house is air-conditioned and there are lots of doggie beds and blankets in various places around my home. We also have heated and air-conditioned indoor dog kennels with windows for natural light. Dogs are taken out and walked around our 20 acre farm with a creek and lots of cool places for the dogs to explore. I take walks on my 20 acre property and I can take your dog with me either leashed or unleashed depending on your dog's recall. Dogs can rest or sleep on the couch or on a doggy bed. We have crates or you can bring your own if you want your dog crated.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Darlene took our dogs on a last minute request and provided a great experience!
Although I am grateful to find someone for doggie daycare convient to where we were, it wasn't at all what I was expecting. From the descriptions, I assumed my dog would be lounging around the house maybe with a couple other dogs only to find out its a full-blown boarding facility with multiple employees whom I know nothing about aside from their first times cause I asked. I dont like the idea of leaving my dog with others aside from who I assume was caring for my dog. I also didnt expect my dog to be placed in an indoor/outdoor kennel very similar to a shelter setup. Which for my timid dog was probably really confusing/scary. Cut our plans short for the day and missed opportunities just cause I wasn't feeling comfortable at all. Other than instructions about how to find the house communication was very minimal. I'm used to photos and check-ins regarding potty and water breaks all of which really help to ease a worried dog moms mind while trying to enjoy vacation. I received nothing. Might not have booked had I known. Just something to consider.
Darlene provided excellent care for my dog Lily. She made sure Lily had company and walks. Lily came home happy and relaxed. Great service.
Darlene was great with our small yorkie. We were in the area for two weeks and she was very flexible.
Darlene did a great job taking care of our 14 year old dog, giving her her medicine and her special food and keeping her comfortable!
Darlene and Steve were very knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior. They were pleasant and friendly. The kennels and surrounding areas were clean. We would definitely use them again.

Schedule
Every dog gets my personal attention and time. I take a limited number of dogs to assure each dog is happy and well cared for.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a dog-safe yard and home. Dogs are in climate-controlled areas if it becomes too hot or cold. Dogs are hand-walked every 2 hours or less along our sandy doggie paths. We make sure your dog enjoys his/her mini-vacation!
A typical day
Lots of toys, couches, carpeted areas, and a small kiddie pool outside for the bigger dogs. Dogs can go for a walk with me through the sandy trails or hang out in the house. I also have a season creek the big dogs like to play in.
