“Wonderful and thorough care. I never worried about my boy while gone for a week. She anticipated needs even I did not (full litter box change) and went above and beyond in other ways as well. She sends lots of updates which was a comfort while away. She cared for my boy cat Zissou as if her own. 1000% recommend! She will be who I use for any future needs.”

“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.”

“Hailey was amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving my baby with her and she went above and beyond doing what I asked of her. I would definitely recommend booking your services with her :)”

About: I’ve taken care of pets in all shapes and sizes all my life. This includes pet care for animal therapy organizations, animal shelters, friends, and family. As a previous pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone who can give your pet the best they deserve, and I would love to be that person! I am a current PhD student at MSU so my schedule is pretty flexible outside of my classes, making most of my mornings and evenings available for booking I live right next to one of the entrances to the Northern Tier Trail, so I have easy access to a safe and fun walkable area for your pups!
About: I have a dog of my own named Suzy, who is an 8-year old rescue! She tends to be quite reactive, and has also dealt with neurological issues, so I am very comfortable caring for dogs of all temperaments, abilities and ages. I’ve also had family dogs my entire life, so I have a lot of experience in medication administration, basic care like feeding and walks, and socialization. I’ve also volunteered with my local Humane Society and a non-profit that raises and trains future service dogs for veterans with PTSD. Lastly, I have experience pet-sitting cats and guinea pigs, so I’d be happy to look after your other pets as well! I will be graduating from MSU this spring and sticking around East Lansing throughout the summer before I go to law school. My schedule will be very free and flexible the entirety of May, June and most of July, including holidays! I currently cannot have any pets stay over at my house because my rescue Suzy is reactive, but I would love to care for your pets in their own spaces! For all visits, I will ensure your pets are always well-cared for while adapting to their specific needs. For walking, I will make sure to complete routes and distances appropriate for your specific pet based on your own experience with your pet.
“Lizz came by twice a day to take care of our three cats while we were away. One of our cats needed a daily inhaler, and she handled it wonderfully. The cats loved playing with Lizz, and having her there gave us such peace of mind knowing our fur babies were well cared for. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Ashley was so amazing during my whole trip! She was super flexible and very detailed in her updates plus tons of photos. Definitely will be booking with her again next time I need to go on a trip 💖”

“Denni was great! Exceedingly professional and available on short notice, even to do a meet-and-greet before booking, she was quickly able to charm our rather large, rather anxious dog along with the more easygoing members of the pack.”

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 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!”

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.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and medical needs—from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring daily medications, mobility assistance, and close observation. I am especially comfortable caring for senior and special-needs dogs. Currently, I care for three senior dogs of my own, including a 14-year-old dog with mobility and nerve issues who requires daily assistance, a deaf senior dog who needs patience and consistency, and a blind retired hunting dog who still loves spending time outdoors. Because of my experience, I understand how important it is to notice subtle changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall health. I am highly detail-oriented and take pet care seriously. Whether that means following medication schedules exactly, sticking to feeding routines, monitoring activity levels, or providing updates and photos for owners, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I work hard to provide peace of mind while you're away. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have volunteered as a foster home and have experience helping dogs adjust to new environments, routines, and people. I am comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and medically complex dogs, and I enjoy taking the time to build trust at each dog's pace. My goal is simple: to provide safe, loving, dependable care so your dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. My work schedule offers flexibility, which allows me to accommodate pet visits, walks, and drop-in care throughout the week. Just as importantly, I am honest about my availability. If I cannot provide the level of care and attention your pet deserves on a particular day or for a specific request, I will communicate that upfront rather than overcommit. I believe pets thrive with consistency, patience, and dependable care. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, medication administration, or extra attention due to age or medical needs, I will make sure their routine is followed and they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Clear communication and reliability are priorities for me, and I provide regular updates so owners have peace of mind knowing their pets are being well cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the property with the same respect and attention I would expect for my own. As an owner of short-term rental properties, I understand the importance of being trustworthy, detail-oriented, and respectful while in someone else's space. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, routines, house rules, and any special care needs. I pay close attention to details and enjoy getting to know each pet's personality, habits, and preferences. I am also comfortable monitoring senior pets and those with medical needs, recognizing subtle changes that may require an owner's attention. At this time, I am not accepting pets into my own home, so my services are focused on caring for pets in their familiar environment. I believe many pets are happiest and least stressed when they can remain in their own home and maintain their normal routines.

“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!”

“Cheyenne took excellent care of my dog and cats. She is always on time and quick to respond to any questions. I will definitely use her again in the future and recommend her to others looking for a pet sitter close to Okemos!”

“Lucy is the best! My kitties felt so comfortable with her and she went above and beyond taking care of them. I will definitely be booking with her again, and recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!”

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 :)

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!

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 :)

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!

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.

Megan was fantastic with my sometimes hard to handle brood. She was always in communication which was very nice and reassuring, she took great care of all of my animals and they seemed to enjoy having her there as well. Happy faces every time I got photos! I will definitely book with her again!
