Established in 2000, 4-Legged Friends has the experience, expertise, and passion that pet parents trust. Come see why so many dogs wag their tails at our door!

At 4-Legged Friends Pet Lodging and Daycare, we believe great care starts with great people. That’s why we hire passionate, knowledgeable team members who truly love animals. Our staff is trained to understand both group and individual dog behavior, ensuring a safe, fun, and enriching experience for every pup in our care.

Every team member receives extensive training in canine behavior and group play management, as well as CPR, first aid, and safety certification. Their dedication and expertise are key to creating the secure, nurturing environment that sets us apart.

We’re proud to be one of the most trusted and sought-after pet care facilities in the western Detroit suburbs—a reputation we owe to our compassionate, reliable team.

I never set out to own a business—my journey started with a deep love for animals. In 2005, when I heard a dog daycare was for sale, I didn’t hesitate. I jumped in, not because I had big entrepreneurial dreams, but because I knew I wanted to spend my days surrounded by dogs. Back then, pet care wasn’t the booming industry it is today. I started small—just a 4,000-square-foot facility with an average of 16 dogs per day—but my passion for providing the best possible care fueled everything I did.

Fast forward to today, and 4-Legged Friends has grown into a 17,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility offering dog daycare, dog and cat boarding, and training, with staff on-site 24/7, 365 days a year. I never could have imagined how far we’d come, but through every stage of growth, my mission has remained the same: to make a difference in the lives of pets and their people.

Success, to me, isn’t measured in numbers—it’s measured in wagging tails, happy play sessions, and pets going home excited to come back. It’s knowing that daycare is helping a high-energy pup stay in their home instead of being surrendered, that boarding gives traveling owners peace of mind, and that training helps strengthen the bond between dogs and their humans.

At the end of the day, our job is to be your best friend’s second home—a place where they feel safe, loved, and excited to be. Thank you for trusting us with your pets. It’s an honor to be part of their lives.
