Dog Dude Ranch of Miami

Dog Dude Ranch of Miami is a cage-free dog boarding and daycare facility at 6305 SW 120 Avenue in Miami, FL, open seven days a week. The setup reads more like a small ranch than a kennel building. Dogs spend much of the day outside in supervised group play, then sleep indoors.

What a day looks like

The property has 6 dog parks across 2.5 acres of natural grass, plus 4 shaded outdoor play areas. Dogs get up to 3 hours of supervised outdoor playtime a day, and groups are sorted by size and temperament. Small, medium, and large dogs are accepted. Water and ball sports, sprinklers, misters, and wading pools handle the warm months.

• Cage-free boarding in a bunkhouse with adjoining private rooms
• Climate-controlled indoor play space and cool nap areas with raised beds
• Daily hands-on nose-to-tail check-ups
• Medication administration and special diets
• Around-the-clock supervision on site

What sets the ranch apart

Instead of individual runs, the day is built around open space and time with other dogs, broken up by indoor rest with soothing music playing. Owners who want their dog moving and socializing rather than waiting out the week in a kennel will recognize the approach. Miami New Times named Dog Dude Ranch Best Kennel in 2015.

Rates, hours, and booking

Reservations are handled online. Published rates run from $35 to $90 per night, listed on the ranch's own site. The facility is open 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM daily, and that window covers both drop-off and pickup, so travel plans need to fit inside it. Owners with questions can call (305) 702-0475 or email info@dogduderanchmiami.com before booking a first stay.
