About: Hello my name is Nieves, I have been a devoted animal lover my whole life! I enjoy spending time with animals, and lived with my own beloved dog Roscoe Burgers, until he passed in the fall. I believe every animal is unique and special, and worth getting to know. I am looking to spend time with your furry loved ones, be it going on a walk, or give you complete peace of mind while you are away from home. I am a true animal lover, and can't wait to meet you and your little sweetums. I work from home 3 of the 5 days I work, and enjoy going on walks in the immediate area. I walk before I got to work, on my lunch break, and after work. This is a habit I developed with my beloved pooch, and would be happy to continue with your pup on the leash. I also am happy to provide check-ins, or stays as your pet sitting needs ebb and flow. I am pretty structured, and can stick to the plan, or instructions that you lay out for me. My own dog was sick for almost 2 years near the end of his life, so I am familiar with administering medications, and needing to stick to a stricter timeline as needed. I also enjoy collaging on my phone, and would love to give you picturesque updates of your sweet pal(s).

“Brianna apparently speaks “cat”! I say that because my anxious kitty doesn’t usually warm up so quickly with someone new. The good vibes continued throughout the 5 days under her care. Brianna sent messages on how each visit went, along with wonderful photos. I imagine Bri could work well with any pet!”

“Thomas continues to be the best cat sitter I have ever had. A big winter storm was forecasted after I had already left on my trip and Thomas took extra measures to make sure my house stayed warm and safe for my two cats. It means the world to me to have someone so caring and dependable to look after my cats when I’m away.”

“Lukas was absolutely wonderful with Hazel and KitKat. When I got home, even after a horrific rainstorm, they were happy and purring as if I'd never left. I cannot thank Lukas enough for giving my cats such good care. Not only do I highly recommend Lukas to watch your furry friends, I now have peace of mind to know that I have someone I can count on for future visits. Thank you so much!”

About: Hi, fellow animal lovers. I have years of hands-on experience working with animals of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and temperaments. With a background in veterinary medicine and animal rescue, caring for animals has always been more than a job to me, it’s something I genuinely love. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, including shy, anxious, energetic, and more challenging animals. I also have experience administering medications and understand the importance of following care instructions carefully to keep your pets safe and comfortable. I’m Fear Free Certified, which means I value reducing fear, anxiety, and stress while creating a positive experience for every pet. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your furry companion needs extra patience, medication, playtime, walks, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to provide personalized care and attention. I know pets are family, and I don’t take the trust you place in me lightly. You can expect compassionate care, reliability, and updates to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your companions! Animal care is already a big part of my daily life! As a veterinary tech, caring for animals is something I’m passionate about both professionally and personally. I prioritize making time for each pet’s individual needs, whether that means feeding, playtime, walks, companionship, or administering medications. I’m organized, attentive, and understand the importance of maintaining pets’ normal routines to help them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I strive to provide reliable, compassionate care and treat every pet as if they were my own. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I can assist with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, companionship, and medication administration as needed. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and prioritize patience, safety, and low-stress handling. I also provide updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets’ comfort and well-being are always my priority.

She really went above & beyond by taking time to play and making sure each cat was engaged! Would recommend her to anyone booking, this is someone with a true passion for detail and care with animals!”

About: I have experience with puppy training including friends pups and well as my own. I have worked with shy dogs, bouncing off the wall dogs, big dogs and small ones. I love walks with dogs, snuggles with them, and everything else! Your dog will always be well cared for with me! I’m currently in University, so during the week I have a schedule to work around. However I am available most evenings and I can let dogs out around lunch on Mondays and Wednesdays, and fridays I am available after one. I can do weeknight homestays since I have a car. And my weekends are available for all of the petcare! I can petsit at the clients home. I always keep things clean. I have experience with crate training and I will always follow whatever protocols the pet parent has in place. If the pet sleeps in the bed with them or isn’t allowed on furniture, whatever the pet parent requires I will take into account and follow!

About: When it comes to leaving your pet in trusty hands there’s no one better than someone who has fur babies themselves! I know the feeling all to well of needing to head out of town and allowing someone into your living space. I’m happy to help keep some semblance of routine and normalcy for your furry friend while you’re away! Please feel free to share their routine, and favorite things! I work full time in a medical office so I do not have the flexibility of leaving during the day. However I’m free on weekday evenings and the weekends are far more flexible! I am happy to follow routines typically done in your home for your companion while you’re away. Please share any of their favorite treats, foods, toys and spots for pets or belly rubs. As well as things they may fear or hate!

About: I’ve had cats and dogs and I’ve taken care of them and loved them for forever. I’ve recently adopted two kittens and I love to play with them. I’m a student right now with a flexible schedule so I could check in on pets on pretty much every day and throughout the day. I have energy to play with young cats or dogs and can fulfill all their needs. My services will change depending on the pets personality and what they’re needs are.

I’m happy to have found a great sitter, and one my pets love as well! I also came back to a clean home which is always nice after a vacation :) I will definitely recommend and book with Emily again.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Northampton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Northampton is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit. On Rover, 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 644 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Northampton. 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 .

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.

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. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northampton. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
