“Isabella was so kind to our cats and attentive to all the details of their care. She was on time every time and communicated frequently about any variations in time as well as how the cats were doing. I would definitely recommend her to take good care of your 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!”
“Emily is wonderful! She took great care of my cat and provided regular and detailed updates so I knew my cat was doing well while I was away! She also was kind enough to bring my cat a few gifts, which is so kind and thoughtful. Highly recommended Emily! :)”
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.
“Camrynn made 2 visits to let Molly and Abby out while I was out of town for the day. She was on time and sent a photo of them snuggling on the sofa. The dogs loved her and were very relaxed when I returned. I would highly recommend Camrynn.”
“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!”
“Michael Anthony was wonderful with our dog, Honey Bear. She was very happy and connect when we returned after 7 hours away. Michael stopped by twice which was perfect. We will definitely book another day with Michael Anthony.”
About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs for my entire life. I developed a unique and gentle approach to animal care as both our cats and dogs have had serious health issues. Although I am a full time student and am very busy on campus I still have plenty of free time on my weekdays and weekends. I am able to take care of animals through visits, feeding, walking, etc. I prefer quick care as opposed to sitting and boarding as my schedule does not allow me to perform these care duties.
“Deborah did a wonderful job with a drop in visit with my older dog, Teddy. He warmed up to her right away. I also appreciate Deborah’s quick responses to texts and her communication while she did her visit. I will definitely book with Deborah again.”
About: Not only have I taken care of my own and others pets for many years, but I have also worked at a vet hospital/boarding facility for 2.5 years. I have also trained my own dog to be a therapy dog, and taken him to many service events! I have the knowledge, responsibility, and passion for providing your loved one with the right care! Im currently a full time student, so I am available Tuesday - Thursday after 5pm and weekends (Friday - Monday) all day. Early mornings work as well. I’ll care for your pet in the comfort of their own home, following their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I’ll provide plenty of love and attention while keeping your home clean and respected, with regular updates so you can feel at ease.
“Really appreciated Tennille coming for a meet n greet before accepting our dog’s drop in. She was on time and stayed the whole drop in. Left lots of pictures and great notes in the visit card. Appreciated the note of feeding my dog dinner as confirmation. Since he likes to try and trick a second dinner out of us sometimes if one of us isn’t there when he gets fed. Will book again!”
“Madelyn was AMAZING! We only booked her for 30 minutes, but we will definitely be using her again in the future. In that short time, she was able to take my dog for a walk and help burn off some of his energy while I was at work. She was wonderful with communication, and I loved getting to see the photos she took of him during their visit. She also saved me with such a last-minute booking, and I’m so grateful she was available to help with my pup! I highly recommend Madelyn! 🐾💕 Thank you so much Madelyn”
About: I have years of hands‑on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, and I’m confident handling daily routines like feeding, walks, potty breaks, and basic care. I’m detail‑oriented and make sure your dog’s space stays clean, comfortable, and stress‑free. I’m naturally soft‑spoken with animals and take my time to help them feel safe, relaxed, and understood. I love interactive play, gentle training reinforcement, and giving plenty of affection to pups who enjoy cuddles. My goal is always to create a calm, secure environment where your dog can feel happy and supported while you’re away. Book with me today! I’m available Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM for walks, drop‑ins, feeding, medication, playtime, and comfort care. Whether your pet needs a quick check‑in or a longer visit, I’m happy to work within these hours to keep them safe, relaxed, and happy. I follow your pet’s normal routine and keep things consistent so they feel comfortable in their own space. I handle feeding, walks, litter box care, and clean‑up exactly as instructed, and I pay close attention to any notes you leave about habits or preferences. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure your home stays tidy and your pet stays relaxed until you’re back.
About: Had dogs and cats since I was a kid. Currently have 2 senior cats of my own. Home often and open to frequent walks. Dogs must be relaxed around cats if interested on boarding Im a Full time student, at uni mon-thurs from 10-2, otherwise home to take care of and play w/ pets all day most days Safety oriented. Live in an apartment so outside time will always be leashed. Depending on the dog we will play indoors or, if they can be trusted, at a dog park
About: I volunteer at an animal shelter for volunteer hours, so I have experience with dogs and cats that are unfamiliar with me! I've also owned both dogs and cats in my family throughout my entire life. I would love to help as much as I can but my availability will be slightly constricted due to my class schedule. I can mostly do weekends! I will not be able to take any pets to my own home, however I will be sure to give pets in their own space plenty of attention or space depending on what the animal prefers.
“Justin does great with my dog Rayla! Takes her on a walk every time I have required his assistance with my work schedule. Rayla is just as happy and i come home to a happy and a little tuckered out from her adventures. Couldn't ask for a better more convenient service from Justin! Highly recommend him if you need someone to help out with your pup!”
“Giada was wonderful & took great care of our cat while we were away. Our cat doesn’t tend to do well with new people but warmed up to Giada during our meet & greet almost immediately.”

Isabella was so kind to our cats and attentive to all the details of their care. She was on time every time and communicated frequently about any variations in time as well as how the cats were doing. I would definitely recommend her to take good care of your pets!
I recommend Nicolas very highly. I only asked him to check in on my goldfish pond and make sure there weren't any issues such as the water level getting too low or the predator net shifting out of place. He seemed very conscientious, taking notes while I talked to him about the things to check for with the pond. He went above and beyond to sit and watch the fish for a while and give me a report on their behavior, as well as checking that my garden plants looked like they were doing OK and everything looked secure at my house. His updates were very detailed and fun to read and he sent photos. I was very impressed.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in East Lansing on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 387 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.

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.
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.
