“I am a Rover host myself, but needed to find 1 night's accommodations for a long-term boarding. Patti and hubby were great. Kept me updates with pics and narrative, and gave willow plenty of exercise and fetch in their fenced in yard.”
“Karl and his dogs are very welcoming. Karl’s yard is well suited for the dogs with a large space and a fence. Karl communicates timely and goes out of his way to ensure all goes well. All the dogs got along well and our dogs adjusted well on both sends of their stay.”
“Emma was always available, communicative, open to changes, and very sweet with my dog. She sent lots of photos and videos to keep me informed and to reassure me that my pet was happy and well treated, and got lots of attention!!”
“Josie loves dogs and took great care of our Pip. The family made Pip feel good about spending the weekend with them and seemed to love her, even forgiving her for getting food off the counter. 😬 we feel fortunate to have found them.”
“I booked Rachel last minute fully expecting for her to not respond or say she was available and she responded within minutes for my last second request. She and her family took excellent care of Hank and sent me several pictures and updates through out. 10/10. Very happy to have found someone trust worthy i can leave my dog with and have no worries without feeling like i am burdening friends or family.”
“I can't say enough good things about Elissa! I feel so comfortable leaving my dogs with her because she takes better care of them than I do and that says a lot. Elissa treats the dogs extremely well with so much love and knowledge on good care. If you need someone to take care of your baby, Elissa is the one.”
About: In the past I have offered pet sitting services to friends and family, as well as volunteering at local animals shelters (Dakin and JM Animal Training and Rescue) and working for Smith Equestrian. I am currently interning with a service dog trainer from JM Animal Training and Rescue who uses a positive reinforcement based model of training. I find this brings out the best results in animals, and gives humans an opportunity to learn what their dog reacts to and enjoys most. I would like to learn from you – the parents – about your furbabies behaviors, triggers and favorite activities. My goal is to provide you and your kiddos a positive experience in a safe and fun environment. I am available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday for dog walks and drop in visits. I am available most weekends for pet sitting as well! I am looking for regulars who can rely on me throughout the week, and am happy to fill in last minute on weekends. I prefer to walk your dogs on trails, at dog parks, or other areas that are pet friendly. As long as your pup is friendly with others (animals and humans included) we can go on all sorts of adventures! If your furbaby prefers some alone time I'm happy to accommodate that as well. I'm available in the afternoon after 11am on Weekdays so I can drop in to walk and or check in on your furbabies. I also am Available on Weekends especially for house sitting. If you have any particular ways in which your kiddos are taken care of by you the parent, I'm happy to learn what those routines are.
“Sandra was very accommodating and welcoming. This was our first experience with having someone other than family care for Chase. He seemed at ease and well cared for. We will definitely rebook with Sandra and cannot thank her enough for making this process easy.”
About: I've taken care of and watched animals for practically my entire life, but the first time I had ever watched animals by myself was when I was around 10. I frequently watch and let my aunt's dogs out and have a cat of my own. I hope to have many animals someday! I am currently going to school full-time, but most of my schoolwork is online, so everyday except Wednesday's are free to stay with your pet! I currently have a cat, so if your animal has an aversion to cats, I recommend booking someone else! My cat loves other animals - she's grown up around a house full of cats, and will likely be safe around a friendly dog. If your dog is unfriendly around cats, please find another for boarding/doggy daycare!
“Jenna had a excellent stay she was very well taken care of Abigale snd Eric were very friendly and accepting of me being a over protective anxious dog mom they are well equipped to take care of her I will book with them again”
“Karen and family were awesome with Alibi, our 15 months old Australian Shepherd. Lots of personal attention, and a great large fenced yard for the dogs to chase each other around. Karen’s whole family welcomed Alibi into their home and she really connected with their dog Lily. All in all, the stay was great and we will certainly be using Karen’s services again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for our doggie to be more loved and cared for. We just moved from California and were nervous about leaving our pup for the first time since the big move, but Katelyn and her family were absolutely wonderful. They sent photos to keep us posted and he looked perfectly comfy and at home in each. We are so grateful to have found Katelyn and would recommend her to others without hesitation. Our dog came back to us as though he had been on a retreat! Calm, happy, and himself.”
About: My pets have ranged from lively German shepherds to disabled chihuahuas, wandering hounds, lively Shetland sheepdogs. and even feral cats and their litter of kittens who claimed my home as theirs until they were ready, healthy, and cleared to go to loving homes. I have 30 years experience with puppies through seniors - health needs through special needs. Training for puppies on leash walks through walking seniors in a stroller. I excel at bonding and building trust with pets and look to have a unique connection with each. I am currently working part time (remotely) and fully available to care for your pets, play with them, give them all the attention, care, and love they deserve! Morning, afternoon, evening, late night care is well within my timeframe. Caring for your dog: I will only walk on leash - no unleashed care unless within a fully fenced backyard. If you are training your dog, I will be able to continue with training. I am able to administer medication if needed. If your dog has any allergies or requires special food, please be sure to let me know. Happy to perform brushing or baths if needed. Pets, hugs, playtime, or lounging and relaxing - whatever their preference and makes them feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. As for caring for your cats, I request a full schedule of their feeding times, and recommendations as to what they enjoy playing with. If they like to be brushed, please note. If they are skittish or love attention from people, please let me know so I can provide them with a level of care that will allow them to feel safe.
“Carmela was super nice with my elder dog. My chihuahua suffered violence from a teenager and now his behavior is not the best. Carmela was so comprehensive and knew how to manage him to keep him feel safe in her home. I am so thankful that she received my baby in her home for the time I had to travel.”
“Cannot thank them enough. It was my first time using Rover and on a short notice request- no problem. I got pictures of Alfie playing and cuddling throughout his stay which set me at ease. He also came back smelling nicer and was freshly brushed, he was so happy! I 100% recommend Heather and Norman”

Available for boarding, drop in, and walks I currently work mostly from home so I'm flexible for boarding and daytime visits. Love taking long walks and spending time at home with animals. Happy to take dogs on long walks and nature adventures with permission. I have cats and rabbits at home as well. I also have separate space for boarding or day care. Looking for consistent clients to build lasting relationships between me and your pet(s), as well as any last minute needs from new clients.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Northampton
I had such a wonderful experience with Karen! After our initial meet and greet, I was able to easily book our stay online. In between the meet and greet and my dog’s stay, some of his needs changed due to a recent separation anxiety diagnosis. Karen was incredibly understanding, accommodating, and reassuring. She was able to administer his medication and prepare his homemade food with ease, which gave me so much peace of mind. Her home and backyard are absolutely lovely and provide the perfect environment for a dog. My dog loved having the space to play, and he got along wonderfully with Karen’s dog. Karen communicated throughout his stay with messages and pictures, which I really appreciated. Pick-up and drop-off were also a breeze, and she handled everything so easily. My dog seemed to acclimate very quickly to her home, her family, and her dog, which meant so much to me. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter. She was able to give him individualized attention. I truly feel like she is a rare find and genuinely cares about the pets in her care. I’m so grateful we found her!
Emma was great with our dog Tater Tot!! We were visiting the area from VA for a wedding, and Emma made us feel so comfortable of where our dog was staying! Very responsive, sent cute pictures, and made our anxious little girl very comfortable! Would recommend to anyone!
We are extremely happy with the care and attention Jodi gave our 11-year old terrier mix, Dasher. Jodi offered us a meet and greet before our vacation dates that put us at ease right away. Dasher checked out her home with his nose while reviewed his daily routines, medicines and likes/dislikes. Jodi asked great questions that showed us that she truly loves dogs and gets their individual personality quirks. Dasher took to her quickly and enjoyed ear rubs during our meeting. We received at least one message and photo of Dasher from Jodi each day he was in her care. He clearly looked happy and comfortable, and got lap time with Jodi as well as walks and supervised yard time. We're already booked to have Jodi care for Dasher again soon. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Northampton on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 390 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Northampton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
98% of Northampton sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Northampton landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Northampton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Northampton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Northampton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
