About: I have a lifelong love for animals and currently have both a dog and a kitten of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets! I work in healthcare, which has made me very responsible, attentive, and detail oriented. I have experience administering medications and following specific care instructions, and I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. My goal is always to provide a safe, loving environment while keeping you updated for peace of mind :) Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already care for my own dog and kitten every day. I’m used to maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. Because I work in healthcare, I’m very organized and plan my schedule carefully, which allows me to reliably commit to the pets I’m caring for. I make sure to dedicate quality time for visits, walks, and check-ins so pets aren’t rushed and receive my full attention. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I prioritize consistency, safety, and making sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can keep their environment as consistent and stress free as possible. This includes feeding schedules, fresh water, walks or litter care, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely while giving pets companionship and reassurance while their family is away. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with supervision and structured routines so pets feel secure. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is always to treat every pet like family and give them the same love and care I give my own!

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Norton Shores choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

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 .
