About Surfside
What pet sitting in Surfside actually looks like
Surfside is the small ocean-side town between Bal Harbour and Mid-Beach, walkable, family-oriented, with a quieter pace than Miami Beach proper. Harding Avenue is the commercial spine with cafes and groceries, 96th Street the cross-street, and the Surfside Beach boardwalk is on-leash dog-friendly.
Surfside sitters skew family-oriented and many work across the wider North Beach corridor. Building rules are slightly looser than Bal Harbour; some buildings allow medium breeds. The breed mix is broader: doodles, Frenchies, Cavaliers, and small mixed-breed dogs.
