“Megan was so easy to work with. She made her schedule work to fit in my care request and remained so communicative throughout. My old lady kitties are particular and don't love everyone so the fact that they both came out to greet her is reassurance she's a true animal gal!”


About: When petsitting, I go beyond basic pet sitting by tailoring care to each pet’s personality and routine. I’m reliable, a good communicator, and can keep you updated via pictures! I also have experience administering medications and handling anxious pets as I have one of my own. My goal is to prioritize your pets safety, and keep them happy and comfortable. I am on the MSU women’s rowing team, and only have practices 6:30-9:30am daily. Aside from that, I have a part-time job with a very free schedule. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment whether pets are in my own home or yours. I don’t like to get them off routine as I know that can be a bit overwhelming for some animals, and love to give lots of attention! I’ll also be attentive to any needs of the pet, and keep you updated with photos/texts so you know your pet is in good hands!
“Jordyn was a terrific cat sitter for us when we were out of town for an extended period of time. She is dedicated, responsible, punctual, and great at communicating any questions or issues that arrive. Our cat loves her! We would hire her again with no hesitation!”
“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.”

“We had a short notice trip and thankfully we're able to find Anthony available. After a meet and greet with our 2 adult dogs and 1 puppy we knew it would go well. Even our puppy who is a little hesitant of new people loved him immediately. Anthony did good with sending pictures, keeping the house clean, and making sure to send updates.”

About: At an early age, I started walking the neighborhood dogs. I’ve always loved animals, and treat them as my own. Friends and family often rely on me to watch their pets and take them out when needed. I’m very attentive and will treat every animal with the kindness they deserve. I work from home three days a week, and have the weekends off. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can take my work with me anywhere I go. Caring for your pets in your home will be my main priority. I will make sure they are well taken care of, loved, and feel safe.
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: Animals have always been important to me, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I have experience helping care for dogs by feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m dependable, calm, and willing to follow any instructions carefully to keep pets safe and happy. I’m currently a student, but I make time in my schedule for pet care throughout the week and on weekends. I’m dependable, organized, and willing to work with pet owners to make sure their pets get consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship. I understand how important trust is when caring for someone’s pet. I’m attentive, responsible, and careful to follow feeding schedules, routines, and safety instructions so pets feel secure and comfortable while in my care.
“Alexander seemed to do a good job with my cat Carlos, sending me photo's etc. However apparently Carlos wasn't fond of Alex and seemed aggressive according to Alex. I am sorry about that. Alex gave me peace of mind that my cat was Oaky.”

“This was our first Rover experience and Amy was great! Communicated throughout the entire time and was not afraid to ask questions to cater to my pups! Pups seemed to have loved her too! Will definitely be using her again!”

“Nicholas was great! He provided all cares and tons of photos of our boys throughout his visit! He followed our instructions/wishes and our doggos seemed to love him. Thank you Nicholas”

About: For years I have been surrounded by animals and taking care of them. I am here to help owners who don’t have the time to give their dogs a walk or even needing pet sitting! Currently this is my only job, I only will be doing sitting or walking during the week. My routine basically depends on the animals and what client's wish me to help with or do during my hours with the animals. I can take care of lizards, dogs, and cats. I always first make sure what allergies or restrictions are needed for the pet at their home. I offer walking and pet sitting. I can come at certain times the owner needs by request to make sure the animal is safe and cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I can remember. I didn’t start taking it seriously until about 14 (which is 10 years ago now!). The very first animal of my own was my cat Oliver who came home in 2014. I sadly lost him this March but he truly fueled my passion for animals! I have two mini Australian Shepherds of my own so I have experience with high energy herding breeds. I’ve done all their training myself! They even have their own Instagram. My dads chosen breed is olde English bulldogges so I have experience caring for brachycephalic breeds as well. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! :) Currently I’m only available on weekends and Mondays but I have open availability on those days to play with your fur babies! I’m hoping to open my schedule up in the evening on weekdays. I never let clients dogs off-leash unless we are in a fenced, safe area. I take all precautions when walking a clients pup as I know how precious my own are to me! I care for your babies as my own because I would want the same for mine.
About: I've been surrounded by pets since I was a teenager, And caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have hands on experience with both dogs and cats and truly love spending time with them. I'm comfortable with different personalities, routines, and temperaments, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it's play time, walks, feeding, or just quiet companionship, I provide attentive and loving care. Animals bring me such joy, and I take pride in making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I have one dog and two cats of my own at home. I work full-time with two work from home days each week align plenty of flexibility for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins before, during, and after work, as well as evenings and weekends. I provide a safe and trusting environment by following each pet's routine, offering positive reinforcement, staying attentive to their needs, and giving them patience, affection, and consistent care.

“Julie went above & beyond when checking in on our anti-social kitties. Her patience paid off and the fuzzy, grumpy one accepted pets and even purred! Thank you for jumping in last minute to care for Kassie & Kilo :)”

About: I have had animals of every kind since I was young, and training and experience in pet sitting, dog walking and First Aid and CPR. I am retired and have a very flexible schedule. I also want to remain active and moving. I really enjoy animals and caring for them. I am a retired paramedic/firefighter, and have had training in pet care and pet CPR. I would care for them as my own family.
About: After loosing my dog, I decided to begin helping others take care of their best friends. I have 6+ yrs of experience working with dogs. 3+ years with reptiles, rabbits, and rodents. I also formally worked at a pet supply store where I got professional pet maintenance training. I am currently a full-time college student, with a very flexible schedule. I am most available for dog walking and pet maintenance services Tuesday-Saturday (ranging in times). I currently do not have any pets due to being in college and still living in the dorms. While I do pet set, this service requires either staying at owners home or just doing check-in’s.
About: I am a mature dependable experienced pet sitter. I pay attention to details and instructions achieving 100 percent client satisfaction! I’m also a pet owner myself and have been a proud cat and dog mom for many years. I have a flexible schedule but could be available overnight if needed in your home. I can also walk or feed your furry family member as needed during the day or evening depending on the days needed. I am very respectful of your space and instructions. I also give clients a quick report and pics as needed or desired ensuring your pet is well cared for.
About: There has not been a time in my life when I haven’t cared for pets. I cared for animals when I was younger and I pet-sit for friends’ cats and dogs when they are on vacation. Currently, I have four dogs and six cats, many of whom have been rescued. My pets are loved and well-cared for and our vet said she wishes she was a pet in our home. I am an expert at giving medicine to both dogs and cats, and especially the challenge that comes with cats! I currently work very part-time and early mornings so I am flexible and have my days free for stop-in visits and walks for your dogs. We have an invisible fence outside the home and inside our home so the cats do not have to be chased by the dogs. We also make sure to never have anything containing xylitol or certain plants in the home due to poisoning of both dogs and cats.
