Welcome To Dogs Love Darlene
At Dogs Love Darlene, we believe your pet deserves more than just care — they deserve love, attention, and a home-away-from-home.
Whether you’re looking for nurturing in-our-home boarding for your dog, reliable pet-sitting in your home for dogs, cats, birds and other critters, or expert dog-training to tackle behavior, socialization and walking confidence — we’ve got you covered.
In our cozy Wylie home, we specialize in calm, gentle boarding, where every guest is treated like family and daily routines are followed with love and respect.
For pet-sitting in your space, we bring that same guiding philosophy — full-service care that respects your pet’s world, your home, and your schedule.
And when it’s time for training, our approach focuses on building trust, communication and leadership — whether your dog needs better manners, social confidence, walk clinics or complete behavior transformation.
Let’s partner together to give your beloved companion the safe, caring, vibrant experience they deserve — because at Dogs Love Darlene, we’re passionate about lives changed, tails wagging and the deep bond between you and your pet.

About Darlene
With decades of experience in dog training, fostering, boarding and rescue, Darlene understands what helps dogs feel secure and confident in her care.
Darlene and her husband Steve moved to Plano in 2012. Darlene quickly sought out volunteer work to continue her passion of caring for dogs that she developed over her lifetime in Portland, Oregon. She volunteered at Cody’s Friends Rescue in North Dallas, an all-breed, volunteer-based 501(C)(3) non-profit rescue formed by committed dog lovers.
