Pet Boarding Norton Shores

About: Hi! I’m Lindamaria — an experienced, reliable pet caregiver with over 15 years of hands-on animal care. I specialize in providing calm, attentive care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and at ease while their owners are away. I take a personalized approach with every pet, whether that means a gentle routine for seniors, patience for anxious or shy dogs, or structured walks and play for higher-energy pups. I pay close attention to routines, body language, and individual needs so pets feel secure and cared for. I’m currently accepting a limited number of bookings so I can provide focused, consistent care and dependable communication for every pet. I’m great with: -Puppy care & basic training reinforcement -Senior dogs & slower routines -Medication administration (pills, injections, special diets) -Anxious or shy dogs -High-energy dogs who need structure and exercise -Multiple-pet households What you can expect I provide a calm, steady presence and follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, crate time, and play. I believe consistency is key to helping pets feel relaxed and confident. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. Your pet will be treated with patience, kindness, and genuine care — just like one of my own. Pet care is part of my everyday routine. I start and end my days taking care of animals — feeding, walking, playing, and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I naturally build my schedule around the pets I’m caring for so they get consistency and comfort all day long. I’ve always believed pets aren’t “just animals” — they’re family. I care for every pet the same way I’d want someone to care for mine: with patience, gentleness, and total attention to their well-being. Whether I’m in your home or they’re with me, your pet will be loved, safe, and treated like one of my own.

“Vicki took such great care of my dog while I was away. She always gave me updates on how she was doing which was so great. Will definitely use her in the future!”

“My pup looked happier than she has looked in a very long time! Brittany and her family took Echo in like she was family and that made my heart so happy! Even got her to eat when she was boycotting her food! So grateful I have found her- won’t go anywhere else!”

“Riane was great! Very communicative, sent videos/photos and updates. Would recommend!!”

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!

“I am very happy to have found Stephanie! She watched Goldie for 5 days while we traveled out of state. She was very flexible with drop off and pickup times. She sent pics and kept us updated. I’m sure Goldie got all the attention she wanted! I have already booked the next service! I trust Stephanie and would recommend her.”

“Lenore was the best once again. She sent me pictures and texts everyday about my fur baby. She asks questions so she can provide the best care ever for your cat!”

Yalanda H.

“She’s great! She’s very kind and will keep you posted or send pictures of your fur baby. She responds quickly to any questions or concerns you may have. I can tell Hachi had such a great and wonderful time! He was comfortable at her place and she didn’t mind at all and allowed Hachi to roam freely when we first arrived. I definitely recommend Pamela to anyone who is searching for a sitter! Her golden Lexi is so calm and friendly as well. I’m so glad to have found Hachi a new friend. I sure will reach out to Pamela again whether I need a sitter, play date , or boarding for overnight stays!”

“Taylor was so kind and accommodating. She was so understanding when we needed the dogs boarded during our wedding. Taylor helped make our wedding day as stress-free as possible. We love you Taylor!”

“Beth was very sweet and friendly! Super helpful and happy to have my 13 year old girl Sage. Her house is clean and quiet and relaxing for my old girl, which I really appreciated! Very helpful that she has a fenced in yard. I will be definitely be sending Sage to Beth's again!”

“Terry and his wife were excellent and I felt my dog was always in good care. Terry sent daily updates with pictures so I knew how my dog was doing.”

Matt L.

“Henry and Mabel had a great time with Brenda while we were out of town. Communication was great and we got pictures of them playing all week. Brenda even made them homemade treats she sent them home with.”

Julie S.

“Katherine was great with Junie and took care to meet her needs, and communicated well with us beforehand and while we were were away. Thanks so much!”

Alaina D.

“5 well deserved stars! This sweet family just may have spoiled our dogs more than we do! Boarding can be stressful sometimes but our pups just came home relaxed, content and worn out from playing hard. We are returning customers and we’ll be back again!”

About: I have taken care of animas my whole life. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and cats. Comfortable giving medications if they are needed. I am home all day Thursday through Sunday. The days that I do work, there is still time set aside for each pet after I arrive home. During the warmer weather, we typically spend lots of time outside. I have a fenced in yard. I do own 3 medium-large sized dogs that are great with other dogs. I do also have a cat and a toddler. I make sure that the toddler is never left alone with the animals. If I am doing drop by visits for pets, your home will be treated with respect and your pet will be taken care of appropriately.

“Rogue had a blast and felt at home. Katherine and Jacob and family took great care. I’m glad that If we’re in the area again Rogue has a family to hang out with!”

Darianna T.

“Daina and Samuel took such fantastic care of my dogs! Daina is so incredibly sweet, communicative, understanding and flexible. I was kept up to date on all of the fun walks they went on and I got enough photos to keep my dog mom heart so very happy. I highly recommend Daina and Samuel if you are looking for somebody to take care of your pet(s). I will definitely be asking them to watch mine again. :)”

About: I’ve grown up with many dogs and cats in my lifetime. I currently watch my son’s dog when they travel. I have a large home and 2/1/2 acres in a country setting . We are retired and would provide many hours of care towards your pet.we are available anytime throughout the week.Your welcome to visit my home prior to sitting. I live on 2/1/2 aces in a large log cabin in a country sitting. I don’t have any pets as of now and this would fill that void. I’m currently on list to take care of pets for active duty military when they are deployed. I’m also a veteran and active in the American legion.

“Diana was the best dog sitter ever!! She sent us a bunch of pictures and wrote sweet updates on what Ellie was up to for my son to read. She was so thoughtful, took Ellie on a ton of walks and loved her like she was her own dog. I highly recommended Diana and will use her again!”

“Amber was so sweet to our girl, Stella! We got pictures of them cuddled up next to each other and she told us about how she's doing (eating well, sleeping well). I appreciate the good care Amber provided.”
