“Gabi was a phenomenal host to our 11 year-old dog. She took her for multiple daily walks, sent photos, and kept us informed of our pet’s well-being. Gabi was very thorough throughout the entire process, from taking time to meet our dog ahead of the three-day stay, to sending communications us throughout the weekend. We were lucky to find Gabi!”
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 my classes only take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I will have plenty of time to hang out with your animal! I currently have a cat, so if your animal has an aversion to cats, I recommend booking someone else! My cat does not like other cats, but he has his own area, so they will not interact if I watch your cat in my home. If I pet sit at your home, I am accommodating to anything you need, whether staying over or just popping in to let them out!
“Heather sent photos every day and videos so I knew my dogs were enjoying themselves. Beautiful fenced in yard made play time fun and safe. Quick communication, easy drop up, and willing to change pick up time. I would recommend her for all dog parents!”
About: I was raised in a very pet-friendly family. We had dogs, cats, hamsters and pets galore. I was the proud pet parent of an 13 year old yellow-lab named Charlie. We went for a 2.5 mile walk twice a day (morning and night). I love animals of all sizes and types. Animals are my true passion. As my headline says, "Don't Be Nervous Pet Service." I will ensure that your animal family member is properly cared for and loved. I am blessed that my full-time position is work from home… this makes me able to work from anywhere. Your pet loved one will be surrounded by love all day long. I care for your pets the same regardless of my house or yours. I will ensure that their daily routines are followed and that they get LOTS of play time. If we rough house play, I always ensure that’s done outside so that all client possessions are not at risk for tail wag hits. :)
“Fora and Amir have taken in Preston several times while I’m unable to care for him. He is always happy to go back as they spoil him rotten! I get several pictures everyday and Preston always looks very happy! Highly recommend!”
“Lindsey was great. She handled changes in scheduling. She kept our dog and another visitor separate when they weren’t getting on that well, but shifted gears when another visitor was a better fit, demonstrating flexibility and good decision-making. Our dog enjoyed her yard and her family’s company. We appreciated that he was in good hands. We’ll definitely have him stay there again.”
“Chris was amazing with our Scruffy! We appreciated her photos and messages…and Scruffy appreciated the walks and the love! We highly recommend booking with her! Thank you, Chris ?❤️”
“Trishul kept us updated on how Moxie was doing throughout our trip and showed great care. We could tell she was having fun. Would highly recommend him for anyone's pet!”
About: I’m a responsible, animal-loving mom with a flexible work-from-home schedule and a big fenced-in yard for your pet to play in. I have had pets (cats and dogs at different times) for my whole adult life, but said goodbye to my sweet elderly dog last year and am now enjoying the adventure of pet-sitting for others. My wife and I have an adorable 1-year-old child (she is in daycare most weekdays but she LOVES animals) and I have a peaceful home and routine that allows me to give lots of attention, love, and care to your pet. I offer a calm, predictable environment and we treat every pet like part of the family, with lots of love, attention, play, walks, and belly rubs. Your pet will enjoy a secure, spacious outdoor play area, comfy indoor areas to relax, a walkable neighborhood with forest trails, and (with your permission) lots of treats. I’m around all day for walks, feedings, and companionship, and I love sending you pictures of your pet having a blast on their vacation. My Schedule: I work full time from home (with some flexibility) on weekdays while my child is in daycare, and am happy to watch your pet on a daily basis or board them overnight. The environment : I have a large fenced in yard and a comfortable, climate controlled home, and have experience caring for dogs and cats, including elderly animals. I host one pet at a time (unless the pets are from the same family) and will lavish your fur baby with attention, play, and plenty of time outdoors. Because I have a young child, I can currently only care for pets 25lbs or under who are comfortable with babies/toddlers.
“Ali provided our dog, Arthur, excellent care. His love of dogs is very apparent the moment he stooped to greet Arthur. His dog, Hasti, is a sweet friendly dog and also welcomed our dog. We feel very fortunate to have found Ali and highly recommend him.”
“Summer was amazing with our dog, Abby. She provided pictures and updates regularly. Abby seemed really comfortable when we took her to meet Summer. We appreciate all of the snuggle time Abby got and will not hesitate to leave her in Summer’s care again! Thank you for everything, Summer.”
“Aemelia was very kind and took great care of our pup. She was good at communicating and sharing photos of Alice and Eko playing together and hanging out. We won’t hesitate to reach out to her again in future.”
“Angie took great care of my Pom Rico. I needed a sitter last minute due to a family emergency. She made the process quick and easy and responded quickly. She followed all of my directions and requirements (senior dog who takes med). Rico had a great time at her place.”
“Caitlin was an amazing sitter for our dog Steve! During our pup’s 10-day stay, Caitlin provided picture and video updates to help us know he was safe and happy. When we picked him up, Steve was so relaxed and happy (way more so than when we used to keep him at the kennel). It was clear that Caitlin truly cared about making sure Steve's stay was comfortable and close to his normal routine. Her young kids were so gentle and kind with the dog, and we never had any concerns. I definitely recommend Caitlin!”
“Kim was so responsive and was a great sitter for our ten month old puppy with medical issues. She had no problem giving him his medication and taking him for a walk in his stroller. Jett made doggie friends, and when I picked him up, he greeted me with his usual vigor and then lay down at her feet. A sign that he trusts her and had fun! She sent updates and photos. I’ve already booked Kim for our next trip!”
“Dobby had an amazing time! She came back so happy. She spent a lot of her time in the kiddie pool, playing with other dogs, chewing bones, and being her energetic, social self. So happy to have booked Nicole again!! Highly recommend!”
“Christian is great! He is patient, chill, and very good with dogs! I loved that our dog wanted to go back inside with him when we had to leave; that is a great sign!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Northampton
It was our first time boarding our dog and we had an amazing experience with Emma. Our dog was immediately comfortable with her and settled in very quickly. I could tell from her photos and videos that he was comfy and happy. Emma put us at ease as two very nervous pet parents but we did not worry at all. We are so thankful to have found Emma and would not hesitate to work with her again.
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!
Evan took great care of Scout. Great communication throughout and Evan went above and beyond in caring for our boy. We were sent pictures and updates regularly. Scout was given so much love, exercise and care. Would def rebook. We are grateful that our pup was so loved while we were away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Northampton on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 418 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Northampton. About 90% of Northampton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
