“Carol has been a wonderful friend to my dog so far. Carol is super sweet and clearly loves dogs a lot. She is experienced enough to make proper decisions without calling but thoughtful enough to give detailed updates. I look forward to continuing to use Carols services.”
About: Raised in a big dog household, comfortable with all shapes and sizes. Always happy to spend time with the most genuine creatures on earth and I'm never afraid of the poop bag. During the week I like to walk early mornings before 8am and after 4pm when I get out of work. On the weekends I'm available all day long! All animals are deserving of genuine care and respect, I will treat yours like my own. While walking I know it's my responsibility to avoid dangerous situation before they happen.
“Hazel is a great pet caregiver. She is extremely kind. And competent. One of our kitties is very shy Hazel won her over immediately. You would be very fortunate to have Hazel look after your pets. I would hire her again in a minute.”
“Aemelia was great. We and our puppies really enjoyed interacting with her. She was able to accommodate our last minute needs and was very cool about it. We will for sure be contacting her again and again.”
“In our first meeting with Stephanie we liked her and felt confident that she would take care of our 6 month old kitten River. She sent us fun pictures and updates of her visits and it was clear that River fell in love with her (and she with him) and had great times playing with her. We would ask Stephanie to look after River any time and recommend her to anyone who needs a responsible, reliable pet sitter.”

About: I'm available for all holidays starting with Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza and New Year's Eve I'm a lifetime pet owner and pet sitter with strong references 🙏 I'm not employed by anyone else, so my time is wide open and I live on a quiet dead end street and close to regular parks and dog parks / trails. I always take the owners preferences seriously, but I do like to spoil with good food and treats. I also am good with grooming calmingly.
About: Animals have been a part of my life starting from a very young age. As a small child my family fostered dogs and I was taught basic animal husbandry skills from an early age. Growing up we always also had 3 dogs of our own that I was dedicated to caring for. As I grew older my love for animals of all shapes and sizes also grew, guiding me to my career in animal science and veterinary medicine. I have been working in veterinary medicine for 6 years now. I am currently working on obtaining my Veterinary Technician license (CVT). Through my hands-on experience at my job, I have gained many skills. I am proficient and confident in administration of medications, administration of subcutaneous injections, ear cleanings, pedicures, anal gland expressions and more. I also have experience caring for small animals such as rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs. Lastly, I have my own flock of chickens and would be happy to care for yours if needed as well! I’m currently working part-time, so I have time in my schedule to play and care for your beloved pets as well. My schedule varies weekly so I would be happy to discuss your needs to see if we would be a good fit for each other! Unfortunately at this time I cannot house any clients pets in my own home, but I am happy to care for your pet in the safety and comfort of your home while you are away. I have various petsitting and housesitting references if needed. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my number one priority.
About: I've taken care of dogs and homes since I was in grade school, and so have 14 years of pet- and house-sitting experience. You can rely on me for numerous daily walks, active play dates, timely medicine provision, prescribed feedings, and even teeth cleaning. I’ve been a proud dog-owner since birth and currently have a sweet and goofy rescue fur baby (Armando). Rover is my only obligation as of now, as I don’t currently work. I’m an early riser as well as a night owl, so I can walk your pup(s) super early or late ~ and any time in between! My partner and I share a rescue dog in our home, so I’m available to house sit or do overnight stays since he can take care of our dog when I’m gone. Our doggo is super sweet, friendly, and loves other pets!! I have a very safe, gated 1,00 sqft house right off of the Deerfield Beach Island strip. we have a backyard with two permanent leashes so your pet(s) can hang out with me outside in close proximity. In my home your dogs will be allowed on all the furniture. In your home, I will respect whatever boundaries you have in place for your pets :)
“Sloane is a wonderful cat sitter. She is attentive and nurturing. My cats became comfortable with her right away. I would recommend her highly and use in the future if available.”

I have also taken care of family and friends dogs while they were away. Walking, feedings, and socialization. I am working part-time right now, so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals.

“Shawna did a wonderful job caring for our 17 year old, blind and ailing old cat as well as caring for our farm. We were able to relax and not worry. We received pictures and updates from each visit, which was a huge comfort. We recommend highly and without reservation!”
About: I have had dogs all my life, all of which were rescues, so they all had their little quirks. I've spent time with them throughout the training process into adulthood so I'm pretty well versed when it comes to all different types of dogs. I love them all. I'm currently a full time student, so I am desperate to get out and spend time doing something other than studying. Both mornings and evenings are the most available for me, but I can always squeeze in some extra time. I'm really great with animals and it takes a lot for them to scare me. I have a dog at home who loves to be as aggressive as possible but I know how to calm him down, and I could with your pet as well if need be! Even easier if they aren't crazy, but I'm used to it
“Hillaree is the absolute BEST! Our pups love her so so much. She is incredibly reliable and professional, and she takes amazing care of the critters. We could not ask for a better sitter!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and passion for pet care. As a pet parent to 4 dogs and 2 cats, I understand that pets are family and treat every pet as if they were my own. I truly love pet sitting and providing a safe, loving, and reliable experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I play soccer, and my practices are typically from 9:30–11:30, but I'm available for visits before practice and anytime afterward. I'm flexible and happy to work with your pet's schedule to make sure they receive the care and attention they need! I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my client's home, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I also make sure to keep owners updated with messages and lots of cute photo updates. I treat every pet as if they were my own and my goal is to always create a safe, caring, and stress-free environment while their family is away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Northampton
Emily was fantastic! She always came at the agreed upon times. She fed and played with our two Labs and stayed even longer than the scheduled times. It is very obvious that Emily loves dogs and is a very kind, caring and intelligent person. We would highly recommend Emily to care for your pet!
Brynn was such a wonderful pet sitter for us while we were away for 4 days. She was so thorough and made sure our dog and cat were happy and safe at home without us. A good pet sitter is such an important person to have and we are beyond thankful for her care.
Sarah was absolutely lovely -- amazingly punctual despite the bad weather and super flexible with timing. Gus was so happy and calm around her sweet and gentle energy, and she came well-prepared with treats and love for my old pup. I would happily recommend her to anyone!

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.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Northampton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
