“Kyle was an excellent choice, to care for our energetic puppy who needed more supervision. He was communicative with us, while away and also interactive with our pup, keeping him busy and safe. I will definitely rebook with Kyle, when needed next.”
“Julie took great care of our cat while we were out of town for Christmas. She was great about keeping us up to date on how things were going. She was also very flexible with scheduling, responded quickly to my messages, and was always very friendly in her communication with me. Highly recommend and we will definitely be using her again.”

They followed our instructions and kept in touch several times a day. They treated our girls like their own pets. Thank you Jen and Cameron for everything.”

“Risa did a wonderful job. We have 2 rambunctious pups and she kept them occupied for the entire drop in. She showed up at the designated time, submitted pics, and let me know how they were doing. I'd recommend her to anyone who is concerned or hesitant about hiring a dog sitter!”

“We are so happy we found Evelyn on Rover! She was a perfect fit with our difficult dachshund puppy. She took her time getting to know our pup and knew exactly how to get herself accustomed. Evelyn is very knowledgeable regarding all aspects of pet care. We rate her ?????!”
About: I have had a dog at home all my life and have been volunteering at animal shelters for the past 4 years where I would walk dogs and socialize cats and dogs. I am a college student and have a completely free schedule over the summer. I can come on same day notice and can stay over night. I can’t offer my home for boarding but I can stay over at your house and am responsible and have lived alone and can clean do laundry and other tasks to keep the home clean for when you return. I can also come over and bring your dog out for walks.
“Hanna did an amazing job taking care of my cat Pepper! She was prompt, checked in with me several times and Pepper seemed very happy when I came home-would definitely recommend her.”
About: Growing up, my parents used caring for our two dogs as a way to teach me responsibility — and I ended up falling in love with the process itself. Animals are a genuine passion of mine, and I adapt my care style to fit each pet, whether they’re a high-energy puppy or a slower-paced senior. I love animals of any age, breed, or size. I am currently working a remote job over the summer that is incredibly flexible. I can fit pet care into any part of my day for any amount of time. I have a fenced yard and no pets of my own, so I can dedicate all my time and attention to your animals. I am adaptable and am ready to listen and adjust to your needs and preferences.
“Paula is professional and an excellent communicator. She went above and beyond and took amazing care of our pup Maya during drop in visits. Maya was such a happy girl and loved playing and spending time with her. I highly recommend booking with Paula!”
“Tracy was incredible watching my two dogs for a week. I had to go away and she stopped by for hourly visits and I can know this when I got home My puppies were happier than if they were left by themselves. She sent me daily photos and a quick update. I highly recommend Tracy for all your small ferry animal needs!”
“Kaitlyn is a wonderful dog sitter. She is on time, conscientious, trustworthy, and most importantly loving to your pets. The pictures she sent me are adorable and showed how much Buffy loved her. Highly recommend! ❤️”
About: I have always worked with animals ever since I was little. I grew up around a farm and took care of various small pets. I also have experience cat sitting and dog sitting from some friends. I have my own elderly dog who needs accommodations, so I’m ready for any task needed! I go to college mostly online, but I do have a class or two in person some days. I’m able to drop in whenever because I’ll be very much free. I can give your pet some comfort and take care of them while you’re gone! I love to go on walks and play with any furry friend!
“I used Tania yesterday for a drop in visit to let the dogs out and feed them because we were going to be gone a long time. She followed my directions beautifully with never meeting us. I would definitely use her again!!”
“Christine is absolutely incredible! My dogs adore having her stop in while I’m working long days. She plays with them until they’re tired, makes sure they go to the bathroom & get some fresh water plus a treat! Cannot possibly recommend her enough.”
“Alicia is a great sitter! She met our pup beforehand to make sure it was the right fit. Our dog loved her and visit we felt great in her hands. Will definitely be working together again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Northampton
Julie is a jewel. Besides being honest and trustworthy it is clear that she is an animal lover. Our (very old) reclusive cat came out to say hello to her each time she visited to care for both her and her (very frisky) younger sister. Both cats were happy when I returned. Especially thoughtful, Julie sent pictures every day while I was away. This is the first time I have left "my girls" in the care of a non-family member and I would not hesitate to ask her to care for them again. I'm so happy that we found her - thank you, Julie.
Julie was absolutely wonderful with our cats, Ronnie and Sushi. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with cats. While we were away, she kept us updated and gave us real peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. Ronnie and Sushi can be a bit particular, and Julie handled them with patience and care. When we got home, they were relaxed, happy, and clearly comfortable with her. It’s such a relief to find someone you can fully trust with your pets and your home. We would 100% recommend Julie and will definitely be using her again.
Julie is an absolute treasure. She treated our kitties as if they were her own fur babies. When we came home, our cats looked healthy and happy. I could tell that Julie really spent some great quality time with them. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs a Cat Sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 654 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 cat, 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.

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 cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
