Dog Boarding in Norton Shores

“I was incredibly anxious to leave my also anxious dogs at a “strangers” house for the very first time, but MJ was so kind and assuaged my anxiety by keeping in great communication. My girls had a very fun time at the farm and I know that I have a safe option now to leave my puppies when I go out of town”

“Jason was very professional, friendly and educative. Jason’s space was perfect for our 8 months old Australian shepherd who enjoyed playing with the other dogs and running around. We will definitely use him again when we are in town and in need of boarding.”

“Derek did a wonderful job taking care of our sweet boy! He had so much fun playing with another dog and seemed so happy when I picked him up!”

About: I've raised and taken care of dogs since I was 11, I've had two labs and currently have a 9 yr old lab who loves other dogs. I've potty trained, crate trained, and taught commands over the years and have experience in all levels of care of all ages. I work part time from home and have the availability during the week. Im able to take them for walks and be attentive to their needs. Every pet is unique so understanding their temperament and attitude is important. I've always used positive reinforcement in my training and care for pets. I take care of my family and friends pets when they're out of town and ensure they are fed when needed and taken care of.

“Josh is the most awesome dog sitter ever! Not only did he accommodate my super last minute booking, but he was ridiculously awesome about it! My dogs were absolutely loved their stay w all their new friends! They were tired but happy as can be when I picked them up! Seriously...this guy is the best!”

“We learned about Rover though a relative and are very glad we did. We have used various other boarding services over the past few years for Sophie. They all have their particular strengths and weaknesses but the personal service provided through Rover is the best option right now. This is Sophie's second stay with Patty and we are very happy with her service. Sophie gets along and plays well with Patty's two dogs. This takes care of two things: Sophie gets a playmate and burns off some energy. Another advantage is that it is much more relaxing and less stressful for her to be in a home environment. Patty sends out photos and updates as well which not only show that Sophie is enjoying herself, but making herself right at home. So all around a good fit for us which we will be using again. Sophie is in good hands when she stays with Patty.”

“Cassandra did a fantastic job taking care of Roxy while we were gone. She even sent updates every few days. We will definitely use Cassandra again if she is available. Thank you!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Kelli sent updates and pictures the whole time and really put me at ease. She has the perfect set up for dogs and Hashbrown was treated like one of the family. He’s already booked for another stay!”

“Arisha took good care of our dogs. She took them on long walks and cuddled with them, two of their favorite things.”

“Katie was amazing with my boy Chico, who needs special attention after an autoimmune disease diagnosis. She fully understood his needs and capabilities, and I felt so comfortable leaving him with her! Chico loved her as well and let her do all of his medical routines with no issues. I will definitely be contacting Katie for all of my pet sitting needs in the future!”

“Melissa and Phil are dog sitters extraordinaire!!! Our dog Bennie settled right in with their two dogs, Dixie and Winnie. Bennie got lots o' love from Melissa and Phil too. Lots of pictures, updates and playtime. Thank you so much for the great care while we were gone!”

“Our little puppy had so much fun with Maria! It was so nice to know he was safe and happy while we were away. We were provided with many updates throughout his stay. We definitely recommend Maria!”

“Great communication and lot of pictures of our lovie!”

“Kenzie was amazing with my little Sofia! Every time she shows up to walk her Sofia gets crazy excited to see her! Sometimes I think she likes her more then me lol.”

“Michelle was awesome!! She had my dog for 10 days and consistently kept me updated with texts and pictures. I could tell that he was very comfortable and happy throughout and upon pickup. I’ll definitely work with Michelle again very soon!!”

“Julie was fantastic from drop off to pick up. She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend that were much appreciated. Our puppy came home happy & tired after a great stay with Julie & her family.”

“I was Anna’s roommate in college and we decided to get a cat. Anna was keeping the cat after we moved out because I live on the other side of the country. So Anna was financially responsible for food, toys, vet visits etc. Her cat, Rue, was constantly taken care of. Always had food and water, had plenty of toys, and was always receiving an abundance of love. Anna would always make sure that if she had to leave for a night that I knew exactly what was needed to ensure Rue was well kept for the night. I would trust Anna with any of my pets because she cares so much about them and ensures they are fed and are safe!”

“Emily was so helpful and patience with me and my dogs. On such late notice she was able to take my dogs in for the weekend. She was very responsive and kept me informed. My dogs had a blast and were well taken care of. Will definitely use her and family in the future for dog sitting needs!”

“I first met Rachel through mutual friends, and from the very beginning I recognized Rachel's natural born connection with animals. As I got to know her better I realized it wasn't only her horses and dogs, but even in her care and selection of eggs to incubate! As a professional dog trainer and small farm owner myself, I have major insecurities about leaving home for even one night. When I found out that Rachel "farm sits" AND she was available, all of my prayers were answered!”

“We traveled from out of town to Michigan for a family reunion and were so glad to find Terry to take care of our dog! Terry communicated with us quickly and we were able to go a virtual "meet and greet" since we are out of the area. Our senior dog takes medication twice a day and Terry was able to keep that right on schedule. Our dog, was well loved and cared for - we highly recommend Terry!”
