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.

“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!!”

“Riley is always full of energy when she arrives and completely pooped when we pick her up! LOL If you are looking for someone to love on (and SPOIL!) your baby, you are in the right place!”

About: Hello! My husband & I live in Grand Haven and I work from home. Looking to provide doggy day care or board overnight as needed. Hope you choose us! We are available at any time of day, I work from home most of the time. We can schedule as needed for pick up or drop off. We always follow all instructions from pet owners to ensure safety of pets. We know how precious our dog is to us when we use Rover so we ensure safety and care.

“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!”

About: Experienced with all kinds of dogs. I grew up with an 8lb maltese and went to boarding school where I frequently took care of a golden doodle and a pitbull/boxer puppy. Spent a summer with my brothers dog (pitbull mix), dogsat 2 older dogs for a summer (golden and mini doodle) and also have some experience taking care of cats. I’ve had experience with over hyper dogs and anxious dogs so I know how to adjust their environment to make them most comfortable. I live in a small apartment but I am right next to a park and enjoy exercising/being outside. I am currently working Monday through Friday from 7-4:30 so I am not generally available till 5:30 on a weekday. I’m available on the weekends! I have no pets of my own so your pet will be getting my full attention. I live down the road from a large park and there are many walking paths nearby. For overnights, I do have a smaller apartment so I wouldn’t want to take any dogs larger than ~40lbs as it likely would not be enough room for them.

About: With over 15 years of pet sitting experience, I provide dependable, compassionate care for animals of all kinds. I’ve also fostered puppies through Unleashed Love Pet Rescue here in West Michigan, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. Animals have always been a part of my life—I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember—and I truly understand the comfort, companionship, and emotional support they bring. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether you need drop-in visits, daily walks, or extended stays, you can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and respectful of your pet’s routine. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, experienced hands. I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM, with the flexibility to work remotely when needed. I’m typically in the office Tuesday through Thursday, but my schedule allows me to adjust and be available for your pet’s needs. I care for pets in my home as if they are my own, paying close attention to their body language, routines, and individual needs and preferences. I also provide care in the owner’s home with the same level of attentiveness, respect, and consistency. I treat every home I enter with extreme care, professionalism, and respect.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and apart from having my own, I’ve been lucky to have experience with many others! From puppies to senior dogs who need medicine, I try to do as much as I can to make sure they’re comfortable! I work part time, so I’m very flexible with when I can walk or watch pets! If I know in advance, it’s pretty easy for me to move things around. I don’t have a dog in my current home, but I offer pretty constant attention to pets no matter what I’m doing. I also make sure to play enough to get them tired out for a good sleep!

“I have been using Rover for the past ten years. From walks and drop in visits to vacations and play dates, connecting to sitters through Rover has been an integral part in raising these boys. In all my years with this app I have never met a more attentive, communicative and reliable person than Taylor. Taylor put me at such ease with her thorough updates and ability to administer medication to my sick dog with ease. I can’t recommend her enough, she is exceptional, and goes above-above-above and beyond.”

About: I have a senior golden retriever who requires tedious care and have previous experience pet sitting and dog walking. I love all animals, especially dogs! In the past, I have been an in-house multi day dog sitter and dog walker. I am very active, so if your dog likes to walk long distances or go for runs, they can tag along! I’m currently working part time and have lots of time on my hands! This summer, my job doesn’t necessarily follow the same schedule every week but I am very flexible and available almost every day. Some days I don’t work at all and others I work short shifts so I could be available pretty much whenever you need me! I have a decent sized yard, a super friendly senior golden retriever at home and a crate, dog toys, and extra dog bed if needed!

“Theresa was great! She’s attentive and considerate. Was available in a pinch and it was so helpful. She’s so sweet with Gigi and she sent me pictures and video.. And Gigi can be feisty with big dogs in new situations but Theresa and Cam were so patient with her. They play so well together! Couldn’t recommend more! Will definitely trust her to watch my little one again!!”

“We left our Libby with Lenore for a week. This is our third time boarding her with Lenore. Libby loves Lenore and Lenore her. She is the absolute best!!”

“As always Pamela does a wonderful job not just taking care of Hachi but loving him. She will love your fur baby and make sure they are comfortable! So happy to say, we found a second home for Hachi! ❤️”

Anita V.

“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!”

“Being a medical traveling professional, I need to find sitters all over the country since I work long hours multiple days in a row. Finding Justice and her sweet family was about the best thing that's happened to me in Tacoma. She spent a great deal of time with me introducing her dogs to my Jack on our meet and greet. It was love art first sight for us. Justice knows exactly what she's doing and has so much love in her heart for animals, it's apparent from the moment you meet her. She sent me multiple videos and pictures during his stay and communicated so well. It was the first time Jack was with a sitter here in Tacoma that I wasn't worried about him. I would recommend Justice 1000% and will definitely request her service for future needs. Thank you Justice. I cannot express how much I appreciate you!”

Paulne L.

“Great communication, friendly sitters, and all the pictures made us feel very comfortable while away. Recommended to others & will book again.”

Jessica C.

“We are very happy with the care our two boys received. They stayed for a week and we could tell they had a good time. We received updates and pictures through the stay. Terry even helped with our very picky eater who required more attention. We will be back the next time! Thank you so much ! ❤️”

Linda S.

“Winston always has a great stay with Sheli! She does a good job of sending updates and fun pictures which helps keep me at ease knowing he’s being well taken care of while I’m away.”
