Sonya Neeb

Pet Care Professional, Owner

Hi. My name is Sonya Neeb, owner of Royal Paws Pet Sitting. Owning my own pet business is one of the greatest joys of my life. Previously I worked for a large national healthcare company. After years of increasing pressure and responsibility, I recognized that I needed to make a major life change. It’s my belief that pets are here to reduce the stress in our busy lives and teach us unconditional love. Working with animals is my dream job -I now have wonderful staff who have been carefully chosen to help with this special work.

I am grateful to do what I love every day! It is my goal to make sure you are 100% satisfied with the care we provide.

*Sonya is certified through National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS). NAPPS members represent the top pet sitting businesses in the country with a reputation for ethical behavior and professionalism. The NAPPS Certification acknowledges that the pet sitter is a serious professional who has obtained a high level of expertise through their study.

Since I was 10 years old, there has always been a critter of some sort in my life: gerbils, hermit crabs, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, and even a couple of cats and a dog.
There is always so much we can learn from being around animals, and I look forward to getting to know your pet.

Michelle  

Hello! I’m Michelle. I’m a life-long pet lover of all kinds (I’ve had hamsters and guinea pigs and turtles and birds and dogs and cats) and I’m currently mom to two catbabies: a tuxedo named Harry (Harry Longfellow Cutebottom) and a white-bellied tabby named Mew (Miss Melody Mew). With my main source of income being web/media/marketing & IT in general, I’m so happy to get away from the computer when I can and get out of the house for some fresh air & dog walking – as well as extra pet cuddles & play, of course! After being home with our pets during the pandemic, they seem more important than ever ~ and it’s harder than ever to leave them unattended for long. I’m so happy to help! I’m honored to be part of the Royal Paws team and be invited to help care for your four-legged family members.

When I was working full time I used a few day care and pet visit services. My main concern was did they show up on time and take care of my pet. I will make sure I do that for your 4 legged family member.

Thanks for your trust.

Mari

Hello! My name is Mariangella (everyone calls me Mari), and I’m so excited to get to know your pets, and I look forward to spending time with your fur babies and giving them the love & care they deserve!

I’ve grown up with pets all my life. At one point, we had a dog, rabbit, guinea pig, hamster, fish, and parakeets – imagine that! I currently have my cat, Edward, whom I treasure every day. I started professionally pet sitting in mid-2024, but I’ve taken care of pets for family/friends for many years.

Scott

I’m an avid pet lover, recognizing the joy, love and emotional warmth that a pet can bring.  I grew up with dogs my entire life, but also enjoyed owning and caring for hamsters, guinea pigs, parakeets and even a rabbit as a youngster.  I’ve owned and cared for dogs as large as German Shepherds but currently own two small rescue dogs (Xavier at 15yrs & 22lbs, and Petunia at 8yrs & 12lbs).

I’ve served my time in the corporate world for some financial stability, but prefer to trade the office “cube” and 100’s of co-workers for the outdoors and a few very appreciative four-legged friends.

Alysa

Alysa’s love for animals traces back to infancy, with her own family pets. Alysa is inspired to add to the lives of our furry friends as much as they add to our own lives, through love, stability and care. She works with students as a reading interventionist and loves spending free time with animals. She and her pup, Snickers, enjoy daily walks – with plenty of sniffs enjoyed by Snickers! Alysa has volunteered with the Indianapolis Animal Care Services, worked as a camp counselor at the Indianapolis Zoo, and enjoys her work with students.

Claudio

Hi, my name is Claudio and I’ve had a love for animals since I was a child. It’s so therapeutic being around the presence of an animal that has infinite love to share. I look forward to giving your pet the care that she or he needs.
