“Elizabeth was great! Very attentive and communicative throughout the stay. She came to spend some time and care for my cat just after we said goodbye to our other cat earlier that weekend. She was very empathetic and kind to our situation. I’ve had so many issues with finding quality care through rover, and it was such a relief to find someone who I can trust in. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thanks, Elizabeth!”
“Taylor is a wonderful pet-sitter!! She genuinely loves animals and my puppy loves her! Peace of mind and my puppy’s safety is what makes Taylor a top choice as a sitter.”
“Laura is awesome! She took the time to meet with us prior to the visit and I knew she would be a perfect match for our two cats, Poppy and Noodle. She played with Poppy who looked to be having fun and was playful with Laura. Laura found the shy Noodle in her hiding spot and snapped a photo. The second day Noodle was out of hiding a little, which gave the chance for another photo but more importantly, showed me that even shy Noodle was comfortable with Laura, which is remarkable! Laura was thorough with her report and a very kind persisted. We appreciate her and will welcome her back!”
“The pups took to Michael right away at the meet and greet which was a great sign and made me at ease with trusting our dogs to Michael’s care. Pics and reports on each visit let us know the pups were getting the care they needed. Michael was great to work with and such a nice person. We are new to Lansing and are very glad to have found a new dog sitter so quickly. Recommend!”
“Was awesome with our cats and did everything to make sure they were taken care of! Our one was hiding and she stayed longer to try to lure her out to feed her and ensure she was okay! Would recommend her and would use again.”
“Hailey was great! Very easy to work with and went above and beyond with the kitties - taking extra care because she knew I was nervous to leave them alone. I would definitely recommend Hailey!”
“Liz is such a sweetheart and took great care of my cat while I was traveling. Was kind enough to water my plants as well. The daily photos and updates put my mind at ease knowing my baby was being well cared for”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 14, both boarding and house sitting. I am always the first to get a call. I’m currently working part time locally so I have lots of morning and afternoons free to fill with furry friends! Whether that’s a walk or a few hours of playing, I would love to spend my free time with cute animals. I have an unfenced yard and a small house. I allow pets on furniture and they will probably be swallowed with pets from my roommates. We love all animals here and will treat them as our own for the time being.
About: Hi there! My name is Sophie, and I am a dedicated animal care professional with over 15 years of experience. Ever since I was young, animals have been my greatest passion, and over the last decade and a half, I have had the privilege of caring for all types of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Because every pet is an individual, I tailor my care to match their exact energy levels and personality. My extensive experience includes: All Ages: From hyperactive puppies needing socialization and high-energy play, to senior pets requiring patience, slow strolls, and gentle affection. Every Breed & Temperament: From tiny toy breeds to giant working dogs, as well as shy, anxious, or reactive animals that need a calm, reassuring presence. Specialized Care: Comfortable with administering medications, managing complex feeding routines, and ensuring 24/7 comfort and safety. Why Choose Me? I know that your pets are beloved members of your family, and I treat them with the exact same love, respect, and vigilance that I would give to my own. You can always expect reliable communication, daily photo/video updates, and complete peace of mind while you are away I am currently working full-time, 8:30am-4:30pm, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets and their needs on the nights and weekends! I have plenty of experience regarding pet sitting. I have been welcomed into many different homes and trusted to care for their fur babies. I am respectful, clean and aware of my surroundings.
“I went on vacation for a week and Olivia took care of my cat Whiskey. She was fantastic with her and checked in often! She sent pictures of her during the drop ins which was something that eased my mind. I highly recommend Olivia!”
“Denni is amazing. They took great care of my cats and dog while I was away. Even my grouchy kitty warmed up eventually, and they handled a potential issue calmly and with extensive care towards my critters.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience with both small and large breeds. As a dedicated dog walker, I’m comfortable handling different energy levels and personalities, from playful pups to more relaxed adult dogs. I make sure every walk is safe, engaging, and suited to your dog’s needs, giving them the exercise and attention they deserve! If caring for your animal, I will give them all the love, patience, and care they need to feel happy, comfortable, and right at home while you are away. I am currently working part time and in school! I take online classes so I would be able to walk your dog any day or time of the week except Saturdays! I prioritize safety and trust on every walk by keeping dogs securely leashed and always aware of our surroundings. I follow any specific instructions you provide, including preferred routes, pace, and any behavioral needs. I make sure your dog gets the right amount of exercise while staying safe, comfortable, and happy at all times.
“This was the first time Cheyenne cat sat for my 4 cats and I will definitely book with her again next time we need cat sitting! We ended up having to extend our trip twice, and Cheyenne was so flexible about adding extra days. It was very appreciated. Our cats seem healthy and happy now that we're home! Cheyenne's updates were great, with pictures and info each visit. Would recommend to others!”
About: This Is Not Pet Sitting. This Is Stewardship. Thoughtful, safety-first care for dogs who deserve to be deeply understood. As the owner of Noble Paw Society LLC, care is approached with intention, discernment, and deep respect for the individuality of every dog. As a certified therapy dog handler and aspiring professional dog trainer, I bring both intuitive understanding and a growing technical foundation to my work. My experience spans dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and backgrounds, supported by extensive foster work that has shaped a calm, adaptable, and safety-first approach to care. I am highly attentive to canine behavior, environmental management, and proper introductions, ensuring that every dog in my care feels secure, respected, and well-matched. Safety, structure, and emotional well-being are at the core of every service I provide. Noble Paw Society operates with a selective client model, maintaining a small, well-curated roster to ensure each dog receives elevated, personalized attention. I offer in-home boarding and house sitting, with availability primarily in the evenings and on weekends. Many of my clients are long-standing relationships built on trust, consistency, and thoughtful care. My home is a calm, dog-centered environment with a secure fenced yard and two well-socialized resident dogs, both rescues. Both are certified therapy dogs (Spring 2025 and Spring 2026). Dogs here are treated as family, with comfort, enrichment, and appropriate boundaries thoughtfully balanced. For those who value discretion, reliability, and a higher standard of care, Noble Paw Society offers a refined approach to pet sitting rooted in trust, safety, and genuine connection.
“Alex was great! He was very communicative about my pets and let me know what time he was arriving and leaving each day. He made sure our boy cat got his medicine and was really good about getting our picky cat to eat away from the others. He sent pictures each day, which was very comforting. He also brought in packages from our mail securely in the house, which was extra helpful.”
About: I have over a decade of experience caring for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors. The last two summers, I've worked as a long-term housesitter in Ann Arbor, taking care of two dogs and two cats. I'm comfortable with pets of all ages and exercise needs, and I can administer medications for your pets. I would love to meet your cat or dog and make a new furry friend! I'm a student at MSU, where my class schedule tends to have midday breaks and open evenings. I am occasionally out of town on weekends, but I'm typically in East Lansing and available for drop-ins, walks, and housesitting. I will care for your pets with a calm, attentive energy whether they need someone to chill with them and provide pets, or they want active playtime and a long walk. I treat everyone's home with respect and always clean up after myself and your pets!
“Justin, thank you for coming to meet Ava & I. I appreciate the time you spent getting to know her and her routine. You were very welcoming to us and I look forward to working with you in the future.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - East Lansing
Amanda was amazing with Dave! It was my first time leaving him alone for an extended period of time and she made sure to give him the love and attention he needed, even coming back an extra session to make sure he was eating and using the litter box! I got the cutest pictures while I was away too
Taylor was so amazing and relieved so much of our stress knowing someone so great was taking care of our babies. Our dogs are very high anxiety and can be a handful but she did so well with them. Every animal took meds and she made sure they all got them each day. Her updates were also great with lots of photos :)
Joslyne has been great both times we've booked with her! She went above and beyond, like bringing in packages that needed to be refrigerated and even stopping over an extra time to check on the animals after a bad storm! Most importantly, we came home to happy and healthy pets :)
We had such a wonderful experience with Christine! She cared for our dog, Winston, and our cat for 7 days with twice-daily visits, and we truly couldn’t have asked for better support while we were away. Christine went above and beyond—she sent photos at every visit, gave Winston extra time on his walks on several days, brought in our mail, and even took out our trash. It meant so much to us to know our pets (and home) were being cared for so thoughtfully. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a clean space, and had complete peace of mind the entire time we were gone. We’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend Christine to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring. We will definitely be booking with her again!
An excellent experience from start to finish. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and very responsible with feeding and playtime. We received regular updates - photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely confident that our cat was in good hands. Would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!
Great with my cat! Followed instructions perfectly, very communicative, and respected both my home and my cat. Quick responses and my cat loved her! Went above and beyond! 100% recommend! Very flexible and willing to work with my difficult cat. Will definitely rebook every time!
Had a great experience with Courtney! Her communication was great throughout booking and the entire stay, she’s a very sweet person too and I had no doubt that my cat was in responsible and loving hands while I was gone. I may not be able to ask my cat’s opinion, but for a few days after I came back he would sit at my front door around the time she was coming for the drop in visits and I’m pretty sure he was hoping his new friend would come visit, so she has his seal of approval, too.
Trevor was very responsive which was a great comfort while being so long and far away from both our cats. Our very elusive and fearful cat actually came out of hiding and allowed him to see her--which was very surprising and a testimony to Trevor's reliability, friendliness, and excellent care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in East Lansing on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 15 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across East Lansing. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
