Staycation for your pup! 🐶

Hi pet parents, I’m Emilie! I offer dog boarding and daycare in Fort Lauderdale with the goal of creating a calm, loving, and structured environment where dogs feel safe, comfortable, and truly part of the family. My husband Jimmie and I are both experienced dog lovers, and we’re very fortunate to spend our time surrounded by pups and all the love they have to give. I’m also a certified dog trainer with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Our home is clean, dog-friendly, and located on a quiet street with a fenced yard, the perfect little staycation for your dog. We primarily welcome small to medium-sized dogs and intentionally keep our boarding environment selective. I carefully match dogs based on personality, temperament, and energy level to help maintain a peaceful and harmonious group dynamic for our regular clients. Typical dog friends at our house include small to medium doodle mixes, dachshunds, miniature poodles, cocker spaniels, Havanese, Bichon Frises, Maltese, Yorkies, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Shih Tzus, and similar breeds. During their stay, your dog will receive plenty of supervision, affection, outdoor time, play, cuddles, and personalized care. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away. I truly care deeply about every dog that stays with us and feel honored to earn the trust of both pets and their parents. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! - Emilie

Doggy Day Care • Jul 14, 2026

Emilie was amazing! Lots of pictures and updates. We had our two pups try her daycare services today for first time and they had a wonderful day making new friends and staying at her very nice place-super clean and spacious backyard. Emilie is also very easy to talk with , careful, patient and especially appreciative of her careful process to make sure all the pups are introduced in a safe and positive manner . We will definitely be back!

We couldn't be happier with the care Emilie and her husband provided during our dog's stay. He was with them for over a week, and we also added several training sessions. From the very beginning, Emilie was incredibly communicative, attentive, and made us feel confident that he was in great hands. She went above and beyond to understand his specific needs, especially his separation anxiety, and tailored his training accordingly. Since coming home, we've already noticed a significant improvement in both his separation anxiety and his leash walking, and we're so grateful for the time and care she put into helping him. It's such a great feeling to know you have someone you can completely trust with your dog. We truly appreciated the updates throughout his stay and the genuine care they showed him. We'll absolutely be booking with Emilie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care and training. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of Ferb!

Schedule

Caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine because I spend most of my days at home and structure my schedule around the dogs staying with us. Their day typically includes supervised outdoor time in our fenced yard, playtime, rest, cuddles, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I keep a calm and consistent routine so each dog feels safe and comfortable, whether they are here for daycare or boarding. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, personalized care, and photo/video updates, making sure every pup feels like part of the family while they’re with us.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. I keep a clean, calm, and dog-friendly home where each pup is supervised, cared for, and treated like part of the family. I’m very intentional about the dogs I welcome and carefully consider each dog’s personality, temperament, and energy level to help maintain a peaceful group dynamic.

A typical day

Each day depends on the mix of dogs staying with us. Some pups come ready to play, while others prefer a more relaxed day with cuddles, naps, and quiet company. I like to offer a good mixture of physical and mental stimulation, along with outdoor time, neighborhood walks when weather allows, and maybe a treat or two along the way. My goal is for every dog to have a fun, safe, and relaxing staycation while they’re with us.

Please share a little about your pup’s personality, energy level, routines, and preferences so I can make sure they are a great fit for my home environment and group dynamic. My goal is to create a calm, balanced, and safe experience for every dog staying with us, so the more I know, the better I can personalize their stay ❤️
