Doggy Day Care El Portal

“I had a very pleasant experience with Tiago. I took my two dogs with him for the first time and I was a bit worried. One of my dogs is a stray that is quite wary of the unknown, especially men. Tiago came out while i was unloading the dogs and had an opportunity to interact with them in a more neutral environment. Chato, was tense at the beginning but ended up adjusting just fine. Tiago handled my dogs with confidence and it gilave me peace of mind to know that a professional dog trainer is watching over them. Will use them again in the future.”

About: I live in one of the most beautiful cities in Miami, the Village of Biscayne Park, neighboring Miami Shores and El Portal. I have loved & cared for dogs all my life from many of my own to friends & family pets as well. From puppies to senior care I have owned Great Danes, Sharpeis, Frenchies, Italian Greyhounds, Chihuahuas & many more. I always vibe well with dogs. I have the patience & experience on how to administer all type of medications, exercise, diets & special food. I work from home, which makes me available 24/7 -including holidays- and allows me to do dog boarding and day care. Therefore, you can be assured your pet will get all my love, attention as well as lots of play time. Our pets have access to the whole inside of the house in a very comfortable environment. I also have a fence-secured backyard, where they’re free to roam around with supervision at all times. I normally will let our dogs out in the yard about 3-5 times a day depending on the weather. I live one block away from our city recreational park for those nice long walks. 🐾🐶🦮🐕‍🦺.

“Jonathan is a caring wonderful person to leave our very loved puppy. Jonathan is warm, safe communicative. We really appreciate the way he took care of our puppy. We would definitely feel comfortable with our puppy Havhav spending time again with Jonathan.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for 10 years. I love tending to their special and specific needs. Dogs are very special to me and they deserve the world! I am dedicated full-time to taking care of dogs so I have all the time in the world to give unlimited potty breaks, hugs, cuddles, treats and yummy food for the dogs in my care. I have a one bedroom apartment. I make sure I have my eyes and ears on your pets at all times. I make sure all food is locked up for safety and to avoid accidents and I make sure that your pet's bed is in my living room so that they have plenty of room to play with their toys. I always make sure they are well taken care of and provide plenty of fresh drinking water and food for them to eat. I provide daily updates and pictures with all of my bookings so that the owners always know how their pet is doing.

“Wow Pam and her husband are just amazing!! My husky Barkley was treated like the VIP he is, they walked him and loved him and updated me with so many sweet pictures and vids all day while I was working. I felt so happy to see him so happy with them. Can’t wait to see Pam again! 💙”

“I left my dog, Florinda, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She’s usually a bit grumpy around other dogs, but she surprisingly made friends with Fera, who is incredibly friendly. It was wonderful to see how comfortable and well-cared for she was. Tarik and Isabela were amazing! You can truly see their love and dedication to the animals. Florinda came back home super happy, and we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! 🐶💙”

About: Hi! I truly LOVE being around animals. I feel a deep connection with them, especially dogs and cats, and I’m very intuitive to their needs and emotions. I was raised surrounded by animals, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Our family dog, Sabana, a boxer, gave us years of love, and that bond shaped how I care for every pet. I live in Buena Vista in a spacious, bright home where dogs can move freely. I also have a large, fully fenced yard with trees and grass, completely safe for play and relaxation. I work mostly from home, so your pet will have constant attention, love, and care. You can trust me to treat your furry friend as my own 🐾

“Graciela is awesome! She is very reliable, excellent communicator who goes above and beyond of what is expected. Took care of our scared sweetheart like she was her own. Her care reflects her true love for animals. We definitely will use her again next time we are in the area.”

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. As I child, every birthday and Christmas wish was always the same: a dog or a cat of my own. Since that wasn't possible at the time, I spent my childhood caring for and rescuing animals whenever I could --including dogs, cats, swans, pigeons, porcupines, wolf, piglets and many others in need of help. Animals have always been a huge source of inspiration, peace, comfort and joy in my life. I grew up drawing dogs, writing children's stories about animals, and naturally connecting with them wherever I went. And somehow, that feeling has always seemed mutual. Dogs and cats often approach and choose me even in a crowd, and if you ever meet me on the street, don't be surprise, I'll say hello to your pet, before I say hello to you. Pet care naturally fits very well into my daily routine because I use to work on my schedule and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and creating a calm, loving environment around them. I also hold a Canine and Feline CPR and First Aid certification, which allows me to care for pets with extra attention, responsibility, and preparedness. My work flexibility allows me to dedicate real attention, affection, playtime, walks, and supervision throughout the day, not just quickly check-ins. I've always had a deep love and respect for animals of all of kinds: dogs, cats, fish and even parrots! I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality, energy, and emotional needs, so they can feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable while their owners are away. And YES, if they need to sleep/rest very close to a human, I will be very happy to be that human! Whether it's a walk, daycare, boarding, or drop-in visit, I will do always with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. I'm also comfortable caring for senior pets and following complex medication or care routines with great attention and responsibility. I'm also fully comfortable working in video-monitored environments for additional peace of mind and transparency. I understand how important communication and trust are, especially with this beautiful souls, so I'm always happy to provide regular updates, video and photos, throughout the experience. I live in a comfortable apartment with my husband and no kids around or other pet, with a shaded balcony that has been fully pet-proofed for safety. My furry friends are welcome to choose whether they’d like to spend some time outdoors or simply relax inside, always in a safe and supervised environment. The area where I live is very quiet and dog friendly, with little traffic and a calm, relaxing atmosphere. Just a short walk away, there are two wonderful areas for daily walks and outdoor time: a beautiful waterfront path where pets can enjoy fresh ocean air and peaceful sunset walks, as well as a fully equipped dog park with separate areas based on dog size -perfect for safe play, exercise, and maintaining healthy socialization. I always strive to create a calm, clean, loving and emotionally safe environment where pets can fell relaxed, comfortable, and cared for while away from their owners.

About: As a dedicated pet walker and sitter, I bring years of experience handling dogs of many breeds and sizes. I can tailor each visit to meet your pet's specific needs, ensuring they get the exercise and stimulation required for a happy and healthy life. They can enjoy freedom in my fenced in back yard. Reliability and safety are my top priorities, and I provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed. Your pets will enjoy their time with me, benefiting from both structured walks and plenty of affection. Trust me to provide exceptional care and attention for your furry friends. I am able to work from home allowing me to give your dog nearly 100 percent attention. My schedule can revolve around your pets needs. In my home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your pets, tailored to their specific needs. My yard is securely fenced, providing a spacious and secure area for outdoor play. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walking, and playtime to keep them happy and stress-free. The space is pet-proofed to avoid any hazards, and I provide cozy resting areas. Regular cleaning and sanitizing of pet areas and feeding dishes are part of my routine to ensure a healthy environment. Additionally, I have outdoor cameras to monitor their safety at all times. Pets enjoy supervised interaction and socialization, ensuring they receive plenty of attention and affection. My goal is to create a loving home-away-from-home experience for your pets.

About: Former St. Bernard owner here that loves all dogs big and small. I wfh and have pet sat dogs all over the world. When you book me you can feel at ease knowing your dog is properly cared for. Before confirming booking I like to do meet and greets. This is to ensure both your 4 legged friend and I get along. Also I am allergic to cats so I can only accept bookings from folks without cats. I’m currently working from home so I have the perfect schedule to dog sit all day or take your dog for morning, afternoon, or evening walks. I will follow any instructions left by you on how to properly care for your dog. I want this to be a pleasant and seamless experience for both you and your dog.

About: Pet boarding & house sitting services offered. I require transportation. I love animals. I really enjoy cats of all types, from cuddly to shy. I am very responsible when it comes to dogs, I will walk dogs based on their walk schedules. As of right now, I stay home most of the day while I seek full-time employment. I currently live with my mother, so having her around is an extra set of eyes on your pet. Neither of us are allergic to any animals. My daily routine is very flexible as of right now, I am just looking for a full-time job. I can walk dogs based on their schedules & have all the time in the world for a cat companion. I live in an apartment with a balcony & will not allow your pet on the balcony unless it is okay with you (the owner). Pets are family. Pet care fits perfectly throughout my daily & weekly routine. My schedule is very flexible while I search for full-time employment (I am searching for something that is related to sustainability). I mostly allow pets to roam around as they please, unless the owner requests a different style of caretaking. I stick to their schedules, ensuring that the temporary transition into my home is as enjoyable & stress-free as possible (most of my bookings happen to be boarding in my home, rather than in the owner's). I am always available to house-sit & watch your pet from the comfort of their own home, if that is a better fit for your pet.

“If I’m ever back in Miami, I would 100% book Corina again!! She was so good to my baby boy and she sent me constant updates so I was never worried for a second! You would be doing yourself a dishonor by not allowing her to watch your baby for you!”

I'm big on trust, so I always communicate and send updates.

About: I offer personalized care in a loving home with a large fenced yard. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, and I also provide grooming, daycare, and boarding.
