Our story
Built by dog people, for dog people.
Since 2014, Northville families have trusted us with their best friends. We're still the same small team, just with a bigger yard.
Since 2014
It started with one simple promise.
Owner Dana Whitfield opened Northville Pet Lodge with one goal: build the place she'd trust with her own dogs.
That meant real suites instead of rows of kennels, play groups matched by personality, a groomer who never rushes, and a person on site every single night a dog is staying with us. Today our team of 11 cares for up to 48 boarding guests and 35 daycare pups a day, and we still send every boarding family a photo before dinner.
