About our home
A calm home for visiting dogs
Smith Family Pet Retreat is a family home in Sterling Heights, Michigan, where visiting dogs settle into everyday life alongside our own.
Family first
Our whole household helps
Everyone in our household takes part in keeping visiting dogs safe, exercised, and settled. From morning walks to evening wind-downs, the routine is shared, so every dog gets familiar faces throughout the day.
We treat each guest as part of the household for the length of their stay, with the same care we give our own dogs.
How a day here flows
A fenced suburban yard, dedicated indoor rest areas, and steady meal routines keep days predictable and calm.
Yard time
A fenced suburban yard gives visiting dogs room to play and stretch in fresh air, shaded by mature trees.
Quiet naps
Dedicated indoor rest areas offer a calm place to nap, away from the busier parts of the house.
Meal routines
Meals are served at consistent times, and small group sizes mean each visiting dog gets individual attention.
