Dog Boarding

Boarding can feel like a big change from home, especially for pets who are used to familiar routines and faces every day. That is why we design our Livonia dog boarding program to provide each pup with a consistent schedule, supervised activities, outdoor breaks, and plenty of individual attention throughout their stay. 

We also accommodate medication schedules, feeding instructions, and special care requests whenever possible to help maintain familiarity during longer visits.

Cat Boarding

Cats usually feel more comfortable in quieter environments with predictable routines, which is why our feline accommodations are separated from canine activity and designed to reduce unnecessary stress during their stay.

We follow individualized feeding instructions, monitor comfort levels closely, and give cats space to settle in naturally. The quieter setup in our Livonia cat boarding area helps feline guests easily adjust while their families are away.

Dog Daycare

Our Livonia dog daycare program gives dogs a supervised place to play, burn off energy, spend time with familiar playgroups, and stay engaged throughout the day. 

Our approach helps dogs become familiar with our staff, routines, and environment before future boarding visits. Over time, many daycare dogs start recognizing the routine the moment they walk through the door and get excited to see familiar staff and playgroups again.

Live Pet Cam Monitoring

Even when you are hundreds of miles away, our live webcam access lets you watch your pet live from your phone or computer.  Catching a quick glimpse of your dog playing or relaxing makes the time apart feel a little easier, especially during longer boarding stays.

Our New Guest Registration Process

Starting somewhere new can feel like a big adjustment, so we try to keep the registration process straightforward from the beginning.  Before your pet’s first stay, we will walk you through everything you need to know so you feel comfortable and prepared for drop-off day.

Sharing details about feeding routines, medications, or personality quirks ahead of time helps us provide a smoother experience once your pet arrives.

What Metro Detroit Pet Parents Are Saying

“I absolutely love this place and truly would not trust anyone else with my little guy! Benny has been coming to daycare here for several years and I have never had an issue with the facility or the staff. They have always given honest and real reports regarding his play and behavior. My Benny is severely anxious and I always worry about him (is he being nice to others, is he having fun, is he making new friends, is he being respectful to staff members and vice versa). I have been to other daycares/boarding facilities that do not even come close to 4LF and what they offer. I live an hour away and will still make the drive to 4LF because I don’t trust anyone else. I know my Benny is no rockstar or VIP kinda guy, but Jen has always made me feel he is loved and cared for which eases my heart when I’m away. Thank you Jen and all the 4LF staff! 🐾💙🐾”

-Jenny K,

“This is the best place around. They take great care my fur kid. Lola has so much fun.”

-Jenna B.,

“This is the second time we have trusted 4 legged Friends with our loved furbabies. They are consistently wonderful. Babies come home with the same temperament, smelling good and happy. Will continue to use their amazing team to care for our babies when we are away.”

-Sherry S.,

“Webcams are a nice option. My dogs received baths and are very clean and super tired. Came home, ate dinner, and collapsed. Thank you, 4 Legged Friends!!”

-Jon B.

“The staff are outstanding, they noticed a possible problem that I should be aware of it, to keep an eye on it. He looked and acted very happy from his stay at 4 Legged Friends Daycare.”

-David E.

“My dog loves coming to 4 Legged Friends. When we get out of the car, he runs to the door and knows where he has to go to get to his play area. Every staff member remembers his name, and they have a webcam to peek in on how he is doing.”

-Michelle T.
