About: What sets me apart is the patience, attention, and genuine care I give every pet in my care. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level—especially shy, anxious, or dogs who struggle with separation anxiety. I take the time to build trust and create a calm, safe environment where they can feel comfortable and loved. I’m happy to keep pets on their normal routines, provide plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and enrichment, while also giving them space when they need it. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and pets who need a little extra patience and TLC. My goal isn’t just to “watch” your pet—I want them to feel like they’re staying with someone who truly cares about them. ❤️🐾 Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to structure my day around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I’m flexible with different schedules and routines and will do my best to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. Whether your pup needs a long walk, extra playtime, medication reminders, quiet time, or simply someone nearby for comfort, I’m happy to give them the individualized attention they need. During overnight stays, your pet will be treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable place to sleep and make sure they have everything they need throughout the night. I’m happy to follow their usual bedtime routine, including bathroom breaks, medications, feeding schedules, or extra comfort for dogs who may feel anxious in a new environment. I understand that overnight care is about more than simply being present—it’s about making sure your pet feels secure, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to their behavior, surroundings, and individual needs, especially when caring for shy, anxious, or sensitive pets. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I’m also careful about doors, gates, food, household items, and anything else that could potentially be unsafe for your pet. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I treat your pet and your space with the same care and respect I would want for my own. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable and confident knowing your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️

About: I have 2 cats and love them so much! I’ve never had a dog personally, but don’t fret! I have dog sat and house watched for years! I can give good boys and girls the most excellent care And assure you they will be loved and snuggled while you’re away! I am able to give baths. Your best friend need medicine? I am comfortable with that! No human food? You got it! Need help with getting energy out? Let’s run around! I would love to host your best friend, or visit if that’s what you’re looking for! Dogs are the best thing since sliced bread in my opinion :) they are a blessing that have a unique way of speaking to us. I would love to get to know you and your best friend! I work part time so I’m able to dedicate a lot of time to your best friend! I will ensure they are safe and happy! While I don’t have a fenced in yard, I’m very meticulous when it comes to pet safety so your babies will always have a leash when outside! They can play with my two kitties to get some energy out!

“My puppy and 2 kitties loved the couple of days they had with Maggie visiting, my cat, who is afraid of even being seen by others, was snuggled up next to her in pictures. And I really appreciated seeing pictures, especially because I was in a last-minute need of someone for a new pup and didn't get a chance to meet her ahead of time. Maggie was very helpful and gracious in all our interactions, including offering to call for an introduction because of my short notice for needing her. I will definitely hire her again when needed.”

About: Expert in aquarium animals and cats because of my axolotls, cat and senior cat. I’ve taken a liking to dog care since I was 12 years old. I work Monday-thursday from 6-10, so my availability lies before 5:30 on those days with a little more flexibility on nights and weekends. For those that need help those specific times. I have basic knowledge about dogs: food, house, walks, and handling. Though I’ve never owned a dog you may want to communicate any special instructions to me beforehand.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Norton Shores on Rover is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $22 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 769 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Norton Shores. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Norton Shores. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
