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.

“My doggies needed a check-in at the last minute, and Arden was quick to respond to my request and ready and willing to help. My day could have been super stressful, worrying about my doggies while I was stuck away from home. But Arden, who is super reliable, made my day worry-free. Those kinds of seemingly small things make a big difference, and it's clear that Arden understands that. Highly recommend!”

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.

About: I’m an energetic, young professional who loves animals! I’ll treat your dog with respect and care for it like I would for my own. I have no problems with cats or any breeds. I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs. I currently have a three legged cat. I do have experience with house sitting a Belgian Malinois and a rescue lab (they even had an extra malinois at one time). Overall, I’m looking for a way to exercise more and help others take care of their pets. I also volunteered at the local animal shelter throughout high school and college. I’m reliable and would love to send you photos/videos of your pet to keep you updated and at ease with my care. I work full time in the downtown Lansing area. I typically work 7-3:30 Monday-Friday and can take care of animals before or after. I might be able to adjust my schedule with enough notice. I work most Mondays and Fridays from home and depending on distance, could do lunchtime care. I have two cats that love to dash for the door. I’m very aware of escape artists and how to stop it. I have a catio for my cats to help enrichment. I also love play with the worm on a stick with mine and would do the same for yours. Or I’d just sit and give them company if they are on the shy side. I give one cat a daily pill. I have had a cat with diabetes and can handle giving an injection.

About: I was a primary caretaker for my senior family dog and now a full time caretaker for my lizard and two new dogs. All my life I have gravitated to as well as enjoyed pets and the responsibility that comes with them. Neighbors, family, and family friends, have trusted me with their pets after noticing my attentiveness to the care needed to raise healthy and well-behaved pets. I am a recent college graduate in the midst of applying to medical school so I am regularly doing any type of pet-care. I am very flexible and further discussions on schedules are 100% welcome! I have always genuinely enjoyed the experience involved with taking care of pets, including playing with them, and even some of the more monotonous tasks involved. I am open to certain quirks different pets might have, and I will, more than anything else, make sure their environment and experience is safe and enjoyable. Whether you allow your pets more free reign or require a more secure environment, there will be no obstacles to prevent me from fulfilling your requests! Currently I am on a flexible study schedule for medical school studying, meaning that pet care can fit into any part of my day. I am constantly involved with my parents’s dogs lives and managing playing with them or taking them on walks is no problem for me! In my home, pets are treated equal to us. Whether that be making nutritious, homemade food for all pets in the house or making sure that they are healthy and seeing the doctor regularly, my pets are my family! I will always follow all of the rules and guidelines you give me for your pets to ensure they are living their best lives.

About: I have always had passionate for animals since I was a kid; I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian for as long as I can remember. In order to fulfill this dream, I am majoring in animal science at Michigan State University as a third year student! Additionally, I volunteered at the Humane Society of West Michigan and Second Chance Cats. I would walk dogs, social cats, and clean litter boxes, bowls, and surfaces. As a volunteer, I learned how to understand behavior of pets to prevent a situation from escalating and promote the safety of the pet, myself, and others. I am excited to meet your pets and provide excellent care! I am not currently working right now, so time is flexible here! I am willing to work around your schedule and the best time for you. I am not available anytime on Wednesday and Sunday mornings. As I care for your pets in your home, I will make sure to follow all pet care instructions, whether it's dietary needs or medication regimens. I'll provide food and water when needed. Also, I could never forget to provide enrichment if the animal is comfortable. While I meet the basic needs, I will also be cautious of behavior in order to promote security for myself as well as the pet. Not only will I take care of your pets, but also, if comfortable, I can bring in mail, vacuum, or do laundry while respecting privacy and maintaining appearance of activity at client residence. Most importantly, I will secure locks and entryways to prevent unauthorized access by persons not approved by owners, and respect the boundaries of the home. As it goes for dog walking, I will be cautious of my surrounding environment, such as cars or other dogs, to promote safety for myself as well as the pet. Also, I'll never yank or pull harshly on the leash that could possible harm the pet. I'll always pick up after the animal.

About: Hello! My name is Jen. I’m a mom, runner, lifelong pet owner, and dedicated caregiver who believes caring for animals truly feeds the soul. My experience spans all life stages—from gentle, patient senior care with strict medical routines to upbeat, athletic walks for energetic dogs. I love learning from every animal I watch, constantly expanding my knowledge of pet behavior to meet each fur baby right where they're at. My flexible remote work schedule allows me to provide attentive, punctual visits while strictly following your care and home security notes. I’m also a big fan of sending frequent, high-quality photos and updates so you always have total peace of mind! 🐕‍🦺🐾😸🐈‍⬛ I work remotely with a highly flexible schedule, which allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care throughout my week. Whether your pet needs an early morning check-in, a mid-day walk, or an evening drop-in, I can be there reliably without feeling rushed. My flexible routine gives me the freedom to spend quality, unhurried time with your pets—giving them the dedicated attention, playtime, and careful routine tracking they deserve every single visit! 🐕‍🦺🐾😸🐈‍⬛ As a long-time Haslett/Okemos/East Lansing resident, I treat every client's home with the highest level of care, respect, and security. Safety is always my top priority: I double-check that all doors, gates, and windows are secure upon entering and leaving, and I am especially mindful of safety details—like opening entry doors slowly in case a curious pet is waiting right behind them. I strictly follow your specific household and feeding instructions, ensuring food bowls, water sources, and other pet areas are kept clean and fresh. Whether we are out exploring local neighborhoods and trails on a tailored walk or having a quiet indoor drop-in visit, I provide close supervision, thoughtful communication, and frequent photo updates so you always have total peace of mind while away. 🐕‍🦺🐾😸🐈‍⬛

“Samantha was great! This was my first time ever leaving my dog alone during the day, and Samantha completely eased my mind by answering all of my questions and sending lots and lots of updates. She went over and beyond by taking my dog for two walks to make sure she went potty before leaving, and was able to spend a lot of time with her. It’s so tough to find someone trustworthy to watch your pups, but Samantha is all that and more. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: My entire life I’ve had the blessing to care for pets. From my Rottweiler Roxie, to my sweet kitty Nala, I’ve learned what to look for to provide the best care to my animals. I’ve also had extensive training in caring for livestock. During my undergrad I spent three years as a pig farmer and I loved every minute of it. I’m hoping to work most days after 3pm but no later than 10pm. I have some flexibility on most weekends. Would prefer mornings during the weekend but I am flexible. I have a fenced in yard that my cat likes to explore in. I also have a laundry room that can be used to separate my cat from any of your animals if needed.

About: I am an MSU alum graduated from MSU College of Veterinary Medicine in 2021, and a huge animal lover! I have had many dogs and cats growing up so i have always had furry friends as a huge part of my life. I began pet sitting for my parents friends when i was in grade school and continued whenever a friend asked throughout college. Throughout veterinary school I was a Rover sitter and pet sit furry friends locally as well as my classmates animals during breaks and holidays. I always make sure to discuss what is going to be most comfortable and convienient for the animal and their dog or cat mom/dad! I am a small animal resident at MSU and I am looking forward to helping take care of my communities' animals at work and in my free time!! From my career, to my beagle buddies at home, animals are my life. I am so excited for the opportunity to get to know other animal lovers in my area while taking care of their babies!! I am a full time veterinarian but looking to help on evenings, weekends, and holidays with drop-in visits, boarding, pet sitting, and walks for fellow animal lovers in the mid-Michigan area Being a veterinarian, I am very comfortable taking care of all animals and have 2 dogs of my own with health conditions that I lovingly care for each day! I will take care of your animals as if they were my own and offer as much love and commitment as I care for my patients!

This is the second year Kasey has taken care of my two kitties. [Last year I failed to review in time.] She did great job with them. I really enjoyed the daily notes, photos, and videos she sent. I felt better knowing and seeing they were well cared for. They are both just two years old and not accustomed to unfamiliar faces. One bonded well and the shier one kept some distance, but he did come around some days. Kasey responded as needed to each personality. I would absolutely recommend Kasey as a reliable, caring, and trusting caregiver for my little sweeties. She's a great videographer as well :) . Thanks, Kasey!

Samantha did a wonderful job looking after our feisty cat, Mipha, who usually does very poorly with sitters and is prone to separation anxiety. Samantha made sure Mipha got plenty of treats and attention, and was very patient with her even when Mipha got defensive. Samantha is clearly very experienced with this kind of behavior and understood immediately that Mipha was setting her boundaries with an unfamiliar person. Samantha communicated with us consistently and gave us detailed updates on her behavior and mood throughout the week. We will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need someone to look after our spicy kitty!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lansing on Rover is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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 815 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lansing. 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 .

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 , 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 Lansing. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
