Dog Daycare, Boarding, Grooming, & Photography
We love animals!
Blue Water Pet Care is an upscale dog daycare and boarding facility that offers an innovative option when caring for your dog. Our focus is on providing a loving, comfortable environment for your animal. We make sure your dog gets the exercise they need through consistent group play or individual playtime with our staff . We take extreme measures to make sure the facility is clean and sanitary during your pet’s stay. We offer luxurious resting quarters with tempered glass and walls instead of chain link kennels.
We like to be thought of as your pet’s second home. We just love animals. Therefore, we not only offer a more relaxed and open environment for your dog, but we give them the love and nurturing they deserve and are used to getting from you. We take pride in being knowledgeable in canine best practices and animal behavior.
I, Christopher Herbert, come from a background of pet care. Having owned and operated a successful dog walking and pet sitting company in Chicago, Illinois my experience is essential to making your pet feel comfortable. Originally from Port Huron, I am thrilled to bring an upscale, urban concept to the Blue Water Area.

Dog Daycare
Blue Water Pet Care offers upscale services including daily daycare for dogs. The clean, safe, and inviting daycare playrooms will delight you and your canine. With three very special rooms, separating puppies/small dogs and large dogs, your pet is sure to enjoy themselves. Not only will they have fun playing with other dogs, they will be getting a ton of exercise. This makes for a much calmer and happier dog while at home.
For a safe and clean environment, high quality material specifically made for such facilities is used. A sealed, nonporous, slip resistant floor is installed over the 3,000 square-foot play area. We have strict cleaning and sanitizing systems, as well as hospital grade air purifying machines to maximize the cleanliness of the facility. This, combined with the loving nature of the owner and staff members, will make your dog never want to leave.
The play rooms are equip with large play structures the dogs can run and play on. Each playroom has dog beds for relaxing and lounging. Animals are supervised by trained staff who are knowledgeable in animal behavior and care.
Dogs will play the majority of the day, with opportunities to rest mid-day in luxurious tempered glass suites. After resting, they will resume play in their designated area. Built into the day, are bathroom breaks and a chance for fresh air outside in our new outdoor play area.
Benefits of proper exercise and socialization include:
Better health
Less excessive barking
Less destructive behavior due to boredom
Less separation anxiety
Dog Daycare - FAQ
What if another dog pees in the indoor play area? I don’t want my dog around that.
With supervision by employees any bathroom accidents that happen will be taken care of immediately. The area will be cleaned and sanitized, making sure the playroom remains free of any hazardous conditions.
How do you make sure there are no aggressive dogs playing with my dog?
Upon interest in using the daycare facility, all dogs must go through a temperament test. This allows dog handlers to see if the dog will be accepted into the group and will get along with the other dogs. While playing, dogs are supervised by trained staff to look for any aggressive behaviors. Thus, intervening in a proactive manor.
Can my dog come if they are not up-to-date on their shots?
Unfortunately, no. To maintain a clean and healthy environment it is our responsibility to make sure each client is up-to-date on all health matters, including vaccines. In addition to vaccines, dogs must be spayed or neutered and be on flea and heartworm medicine.
I don’t know if my dog can play all day, do they get rest times?
Yes, based on each dogs’ needs they will be provided a relaxed resting area during the day.
Can I have my dog fed during daycare hours?
Yes, We can feed your dog during the mid-day resting time.
Can I stop in during daycare to visit and play with my dog?
No, unfortunately we can not have visitors during in the playrooms during daycare hours. This will interrupt the pack and can make a dangerous environment for you, the dogs, and our staff. We create a controlled and safe environment and this could be jeopardized with outsiders.

Doesn't your pet need a vacation too?

Doesn't your pet need a vacation too?
Dog Boarding
Our boarding and resting quarters are designed with the same upscale, clean, and inviting materials as the rest of our building. While your dog enjoys play during the day, they will have a comfortable place to lounge and sleep during the night. Care for dogs will be individualized, based on needs and daily routines.
Your animal will have his or her own tempered glass suite with a sanitized dog bed, providing a comfortable and clean stay. Dogs will be let outside for bathroom and fresh air as needed. Daycare or one-on-one services can be added for your dog's exercise needs.
You can rest easy that your dog will be taken care of with the highest class of facility, with health, safety, exercise, and loving care as our main goals.
Things to Know
Be sure your vaccination records are up-to-date and on file at Blue Water Pet Care.
Do not give ANY food or treats which are not part of your dog’s normal diet before boarding.
Do not bring dog beds, they can get destroyed and are hard to clean if soiled. We do provide our own beds.
Do not bring your dog in if they are sick or exhibiting abnormal behavior (UTI’s, loose or uncontrollable bowel movements, coughing, vomiting, lethargy, appetite depression, etc).
Things to Bring
Food- We do not provide food for our guests. Bring your dog’s current food prepared into individual meals in order to help ensure accurate feeding amounts. Food can be divided up into individual meals using ziplock bags or small tupperware containers. Please provide enough of your dog’s normal food to last for their entire visit plus a couple of extra meals just in case you are delayed in picking up your dog for any reason.
Bedding- We provide cots for comfort; favorite blankets are always welcome.
Toys- No “squeakers”. No plush toys if your dog is a “destroyer”. Toys will remain in your dog’s suite.
Treats- Do not bring any “new/special” treats which are unfamiliar to your dog.
Dog Boarding - FAQ
Can I board my dog if they don't currently attend the daycare?
Yes, we can schedule extra activities for your dog to get exercise outside of the daycare program. This means we can accommodate dogs that are not comfortable in our daycare and would rather be in a smaller group of playing one on one with our staff.
Can my dog come if they are not up-to-date on their shots?
Unfortunately, no. To maintain a clean and healthy environment it is our responsibility to make sure each client is up-to-date on all health matters, including vaccines. In addition to vaccines, dogs must be on flea and heart-worm preventative.
I have had a bad experience with mixing up my dog’s food with another dog. How do you make sure this doesn't happen?
Upon arrival, all dogs will be given a cubby with their name on it that will store all personal dog items. Any bag of food or treats will have to be labeled with your dog’s name on it. We are happy to assist you with this upon arrival.
