West Kendall & South Miami

Your dog stays in our home.
Not a kennel.

Kennel-free, in-home boarding where dogs are treated like family.

⭐ 5.0 stars · 26 reviews 🏠 Run from our home 🐾 Limited spots — personal care 📸 Daily photo updates
Not a kennel. A second home.

No crates. No kennels.
No exceptions.

Most boarding places lock dogs in a crate between scheduled "play sessions." Some call that VIP. We call it a kennel with better marketing.

When your dog stays with us, they're inside our actual home — free-roaming, eating on their schedule, walking four times a day, living exactly the way they do with you. Two years in. 26 five-star reviews. Not one kennel in sight.

Who's actually watching your dog

Just the two of us.
Every single time.

No rotating staff. No "someone from our team." Francisco and Lisette are the ones taking care of your dog — today, tomorrow, and every day of the stay.

🎓 Francisco — Balanced Dog Trainer & Vet Tech

Francisco brings two things most boarding places can't offer in the same person: a balanced dog trainer's instincts and a vet tech's medical knowledge. Anxious rescues, rambunctious puppies, dogs on medications, seniors who need a little extra — he's handled all of it professionally. Not because he figured it out along the way, but because he actually trained for it.

🏡 Lisette — The One Who's Actually There

While Francisco is at work during the week, Lisette is home — which means the dogs are never left alone during the day. She's the afternoon presence, the one keeping things calm, the one who notices when someone's a little off and needs extra attention. Those daily photos and videos people mention in almost every review? A lot of that is just Lisette, living alongside them like they've always been here.

🏡 Intentionally limited capacity

We keep our group intentionally small — small enough that every dog still gets real attention, not just supervision. Past a certain point you're running a facility. We're keeping it a home, and that requires knowing when to say we're full.

📸 Daily photos & videos — always

Two updates every day. Photos and videos of your dog actually doing things. Sounds like a small thing. It's mentioned in every single review. It's not a small thing.

What an actual day looks like

Your dog's routine.
Not ours.

Four walks. Real playtime. The same schedule they already have at home.

A day at Pawfect 🐾
  • Morning Wake up, walk & breakfastEvery dog starts with a walk, then eats on their regular schedule — not ours.
  • 12 pm Midday walk & playtimeA real walk — not a quick bathroom break. Then open playtime back inside.
  • 4 pm Afternoon walk & playWalk, play, back to doing whatever happy dogs do when they're settled in.
  • 8 pm Evening walk & wind-downLast walk of the day, then settling in for the night — same as home.
Good to know up front

Honest about
who we're a great fit for.

🐾 We welcome

  • All sizes and most breeds — big dogs, little dogs, everything in between
  • Puppies (extra attention included, no extra charge)
  • Senior dogs, including those on medications or special diets
  • First-timers who are nervous about boarding — honestly, most of our clients started that way

One thing we can't do

Because our dogs share a real home with no separation, we're not able to safely accommodate dogs with a history of aggression — this is to protect every animal in our care. If you're unsure whether your dog is a good fit, just reach out and we'll be happy to talk it through.

Prefer to talk first?

Totally fine — a lot of our best clients started with a quick call. Reach out however feels easiest.
