“Kathy is amazing. Isabel can be timid when she goes to a new place, but she walked into Kathy's like she lived there. Made it much easier to leave my fur baby for daycare.”
About: PROFESSIONAL PET CARE | 10+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE | CPR & FIRST AID CERTIFIED Hi, I'm Maddy! I'm the owner of Blue Birch Pet Care & Training, providing professional, fully insured pet care backed by over a decade of hands-on experience with domestic, exotic, and farm animals. Pet care is my profession, not a side job. My background includes zoology, animal behavior, veterinary-related education, specialized handling, and experience with animals of all ages, species, and care requirements. MY EXPERIENCE & SPECIALTIES - Behavior & Training: Positive reinforcement and fear free training, behavior management and rehabilitation, enrichment, and individualized training support for all needs. - Medical & Special-Needs Care: Medical rehabilitation, medication administration, neonatal and postnatal care, bottle/syringe feeding, senior care, mobility assistance, emergency care, and wildlife rehabilitation - Emergency Preparedness: Pet CPR and first aid certification, with an emphasis on prevention, safety, and prompt communication. - Comprehensive Pet Care: Walking, drop-ins, boarding, daycare, overnight house sitting, grooming, and pet transportation. - All Species Welcome: Dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, amphibians, birds/fowl, exotic pets, and small or large farm animals. SAFETY, ACCOUNTABILITY & COMMUNICATION I prioritize individualized care, safe handling, established routines, and detailed communication. I utilize GPS tracking and a vehicle dashcam for professional accountability. I also encourage clients to consider exterior security cameras for additional peace of mind. For boarding and daycare, I prioritize appropriate supervision, secure environments, and each animal's individual comfort and safety. I offer private daycare and boarding, or group, with or without socialization with the other animals. SPECIALIZED ANIMAL CARE & PRICING I welcome inquiries for exotic pets, livestock, poultry, and animals requiring specialized medical or behavioral support. Please contact me to discuss your pet's needs, availability, and individualized pricing. Your pet's physical and emotional well-being is my priority. I understand the trust involved in choosing a caregiver and am committed to providing knowledgeable, dependable, compassionate care you can feel confident in. I have a highly flexible schedule and can accommodate last-minute changes as needed. Since my college coursework is asynchronous, I can adapt my work to fit around your schedule seamlessly. As a business owner who manages my own time, I prioritize reliability and responsiveness, ensuring that your pet’s needs are always met with the highest level of care and attention. Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.
“My dogs came home tired and so so happy! Jessica sent plenty of photos and its clear that all the dogs in her care get tons of love and attention. Looking forward to weekly care for my pups🥰”
About: I've had dogs in my house since I was born & have taken care of my own dog(s) for 20 years. I've done end of life care with all of my pets & have done basic training of puppies. I have 8 acres of property which is great for dogs to run and play! I'm currently a stay at home mom of 3 kids, but this year my youngest started school so I am now home every day alone & would love to have a doggie to keep me company. I have an 8 acre yard with a lot of room for dogs to run. I also have a pond that they could swim in if allowed. I currently don't have a dog, but have a caged in area in the yard as well that was used for our old Great Dane that I could use for outside time if your dog tends to wander.
“Jeanne is very patient and helpful in socializing my new puppy. We will be joining her again next week to continue her socialization skills. Maggie was fearful at first but with Jeanne’s gentleness and professionalism, Maggie was in love when I picked her up.”
“Michelle was very accommodating! She came and picked Hank up for me even though it was quite a bit out of her way. I feel confident Hank had a lot of fun at her house by the pictures she sent of him and one of her children playing together!”
“Larisa is so patient with my shy doodle. Maggie enjoys the other dogs but takes a while to warm up to humans. Larisa allows her to explore at her own pace so that she is slowly becoming more comfortable.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Midland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Midland is $32 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $44 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 75 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Midland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Midland commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 75 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MI. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
