Happy Paws Mia

Happy Paws Mia is a cage-free dog boarding and daycare home in Miami, FL, caring for small dogs under 30 pounds. Dogs stay in private suites rather than crates, and the household stays small, with room for four dogs at a time.

Services and amenities

Overnight boarding and daytime daycare both run out of the same home at 425 NE 22nd Street. Dogs get two walks a day plus potty breaks, and plush bedding is provided. Owners can send along a familiar bed, blanket, and favorite toys. Special diets can be accommodated.

What sets it apart

The four-dog cap shapes everything else. A small group means a quieter house and more individual attention than a bigger facility can give. The Lux suite adds an anti-stress massage and gourmet treats, and a going-home bubble bath is available on request. Daily photo and text updates and home-cooked breakfasts are offered as add-ons, so owners choose how much extra they want.

Practical details

Published rates run $35 to $43 per night. Booking is handled by phone at 239-516-4342, and proof of vaccination is required before a stay. Happy Paws Mia also takes daycare guests, which fits owners who work long days and want their small dog somewhere cage-free instead of home alone. Because only four dogs are hosted at once, holiday and weekend dates fill the calendar quickly, so calling early helps.
