At Happy Paws Mia, we’re not a kennel. We’re not a facility. We’re a loving home where your small dog becomes part of the family.

Founder Story

Hi, I’m Judy – founder, caregiver, and full-time dog mom.

I started Happy Paws Mia because I saw a need for truly personal, loving care for small breed dogs in Miami. Not crowded cages. Not cold facilities. Just one-on-one attention, peace of mind, and a warm home where your dog feels safe and cherished.

With only 2 dogs for boarding and 2 for daycare at a time, every pup gets the time, space, and affection they deserve.

Testimonials

Loved by Dogs. Trusted by Pet Parents

Nothing makes us happier than seeing wagging tails and relaxed pups. At Happy Paws Mia, we treat every furry guest like family — offering love, comfort, and care that pet parents truly trust. From playful mornings to cozy naps, your pup’s happiness is always our priority.

Leaving my Toy Poodle with Judy was the best decision ever. Coco is usually shy, but she warmed up immediately. The daily photo updates melted my heart — it’s clear she was pampered and happy the whole time!

Melissa G., Wynwood

My two Dachshunds, Bruno and Nala, stayed at Happy Paws Mia for a long weekend, and they loved it! The home feels safe, clean, and cozy — no cages, just comfort and love. I could tell they were cared for like family.

Daniel P., Biscayne Bay

I have a tiny Maltese named Bella, and finding a place just for small dogs was such a relief. Judy goes above and beyond — she even gave Bella a little massage! You can feel the passion and attention in every detail.
