6 natural-grass dog parks on 2.5 private acres, cage-free socialization, and a family that lives on-site — because your dog deserves more than a kennel.
Two homes sit on the property. Someone is always there — no overnight abandonment, no empty facility, ever.
Our 2.5 acres of natural turf stays cool and gentle year-round — protecting paws and keeping play healthy in Miami's heat.
Overnight guests bunk with compatible companions in a cage-free environment — because your dog shouldn't face the night solo.
Unlike most boarding facilities, we never close on Sundays — giving you the scheduling flexibility your life actually requires.
From teacup to giant breed, every dog has a dedicated space and carefully matched play group for safe, joyful fun.
Older dogs and those with medical needs receive personalized attention — including medications administered at any hour of the night.
Forget isolating kennels and crates — we built the experience your dog actually deserves.
Real, living grass stays cool and gentle underfoot — no cement, no artificial turf, no overheated paws. Just the softest, most natural play surface in Miami. Your dog's paws will thank you.
No crates, no kennels, no isolation. Dogs roam open spaces and sleep beside friends — never alone in a box.
Two homes on the ranch mean someone is always present, day and night. Your dog is never left alone after lights out.
Six separate parks let us match dogs by size, age, and temperament — safe play with the right crowd, every time.

Sprinklers, misters, shade trees, and fresh-air ventilation keep dogs healthy even in Miami's summer heat.
Personalized care — including medication administration at any hour of the day or night.
Horses, chickens, cats, and even a pot belly pig. A one-of-a-kind environment no conventional kennel can replicate.
Whether it's a few hours or a full vacation, we tailor every visit to your dog's personality, size, and needs. No cookie-cutter kennels here — just genuine ranch-style hospitality.

Your dog stays the night on the ranch, bunking with compatible friends in a cage-free environment while our on-site family watches over them until morning.
Modified activity levels, dedicated attention, and 24-hour access to medication administration for your older pup — care that most kennels simply cannot provide.
Dogs with medical routines, exercise restrictions, or extra sensitivities receive customized, round-the-clock care from our always-on-site family team.
Dog Dude Ranch wasn't built — it grew. Priscilla Bakes' home in Miami's 'Horse Country' had been a haven for dogs long before it became a business. Friends and family started dropping their pups off for a day of fun or a night's sleepover, and word spread fast. Before long, dog owners from across Miami were reaching out, looking for somewhere safe, joyful, and nothing like a kennel. That demand gave birth to the Dog Dude Ranch.
Today, the same beloved property spans 2.5 fully-fenced private acres less than 20 minutes from Miami International Airport. Six open-air dog parks give every guest room to run, romp, and play alongside others carefully grouped by size, age, and temperament.
This isn't a corporate chain or a warehouse operation. It's a real ranch, with real animals — horses, chickens, cats, and a pot belly pig — run by a real family that never leaves the grounds. When your dog stays at Dog Dude Ranch, they're not a reservation number. They're a guest in someone's home.
Reserve online or give us a call. New guests can learn about what to expect and set up their dog's first visit to the ranch.
Arrive during open hours and we'll introduce your dog to their matched group — grouped by size, age, and personality for a smooth, safe start.
Your dog spends hours in the natural-grass parks, making friends, burning energy, and experiencing the kind of enrichment most dogs never get.
When the day winds down, overnight guests settle in with compatible bunkmates — never alone, never crated, always with our family just steps away.
Come back to a dog who's had the time of their life — socialized, exercised, and ready to tell you all about it.
It means exactly what it sounds like — no kennels, no crates, no isolation. Dogs have access to open indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the day, and overnight guests sleep alongside compatible friends, never alone in a cage.
Every dog is grouped by size, age, and temperament. We have dedicated spaces for small dogs, large dogs, and everyone in between — so playtime is always safe and matched to your dog's specific needs.
Yes. Because our family lives on the property around the clock, we can administer medications at any time of day or night — something most boarding kennels are unable to offer after closing hours.
Yes — we're open 7 days a week from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm, including Sundays. We know your travel plans don't always follow a Monday–Friday schedule.
