“We only used family in the past to watch Milo, so we were a bit nervous. Cindy was by far excellent. She took good care of him, gave him love as if he was her own. We recommend her highly.”
“Diana is the best to care for my dog! Always keeps me updated and send pics of her and her family showing my dog so much love! She cares for him, like he’s her own. Would use her every time!”
“Cynthia was great! It was our first time using Rover and it was a positive experience. Our dog was Well cared for and Cynthia sent pictures and Videos Showing us how our Dog was doing. Cynthia is caring and knowledgeable and we were very happy she was able to watch our dog this weekend!”
“Julie watched our 4.5 year Poodle for a week while we were away on a family vacation. She was really passionate about caring for Parker. We would contact her to check in and she always responded immediately. Parker came home happy. We would absolutely use her again.”
“Melissa was amazing!!!! She is obsessed with all dogs and really goes out of her way to make sure they are taken care of and LOVED while you’re away. She always kept me updated on how much fun Hamilton was having and how much she enjoyed being with him. She is the ONLY person I will let watch my Hamilton ???”
“Maria was amazing! From day 1, she was attentive and had open communication with us about Stella and Hunters' progress. She facilitated a comfortable and fun environment, and we were pleased with the overall experience. I would highly recommend Maria and would work with her in the future”
“It was our first time leaving Canela with a sitter and the experience couldn't be better... We will definitely be using Carlos and Natalia's service again.”
“Colleen is THE BEST! We left our baby, Tako with her for 15 days and we already had a good feeling after meeting her and visiting her impeccably clean and dog friendly home. We received the MOST wonderful pics every day of our boy playing with the other doggies, enjoying the back yard, the sun room (his favorite I think) and of course cuddling up to Colleen and her husband on the couch and bed. Things we LOVE about Colleen....only small/medium size dogs, great space for doggies to roam and find their favorite spot, great communication and MOST of all, her wonderful manner and love of dogs. We know that she cared for our Tako as if he were her own. Thank YOU Colleen, we will be back again and again and of course recommend you highly to anyone needing your service.”
“Victoria was terrific in taking care of my dog.....she was very responsive in setting things up and was super sweet when I came to drop Loulou off and pick her up....he family was there too, and they couldn't have been nicer.”
“I had a last minute emergency of not having someone to watch kylo while i went away. after constant searching my boyfriend recommended i try Rover and i found Jennifer . She was accommodating, sweet and attentive from the first meet. i was a bit nervous as a first time user for the app and i’ve never had anyone who wasn’t family take care of kylo, but she’s trustworthy and always sent updates on Kylo and how he was doing and he was settling in very easily. her environment was something i loved for kylo to be around, she was always around with kylo and gave him constant attention, cuddles, and her dog Sadie, was just as energetic as him. i’m glad he wasn’t alone and it definitely eased my mind to know he was in a safe environment surrounded by people and other pet friends. my encounter with her was so smooth and last minute but i’m glad she took Kylo in and treated him like her own. if you’re unsure of leaving your pet with someone i 100000% recommend her ! i know kylo had a blast with her and i would definitely love for her to watch kylo for future because of how happy he was and i was knowing he was cared for”
“Gabby took excellent, loving care of my puppy, Emmy, who needed attentive care for a paw injury. Gabby and family provided a warm, welcoming home, and of many caregivers that I have met so far through Rover, were most knowledgeable and experienced in dog care. I received daily updates and pictures, and was confident that Emmy was being cared for as though she were at home. I would highly recommend Gabby and will certainly be back myself.”
About: I’m so excited to be welcoming pups back into my schedule! I offer attentive, personalized dog walking with a focus on making every outing feel safe, happy, and special. I treat each dog like one of my own, with plenty of affection, patience, and individual attention. While I continue recovering from knee surgery, I’m currently accepting small, easy-to-handle dogs for walks. Whether your pup loves a leisurely neighborhood stroll, lots of sniffing, or a little extra TLC, I’m happy to tailor their walk to their personality and routine 🐾💜 I commute from NYC & The Hamptons, so my schedule varies slightly during the week. I encourage bookings and stays to be planned ahead of the week to ensure consistency and dependability. I provide my own pet-safe wipes to clean paws after outdoor walks, helping keep your home clean while maintaining your pet’s comfort. I’m mindful about the products I use and prioritize gentle, pet-safe options. I always ask before giving any treats and make it a priority to respect both your home and your pet’s routine. I aim to provide thoughtful, considerate care in every environment I’m welcomed into.
“Daniel was amazing. He sent us pictures and videos while we were away and was very quick to respond. From our meet and greet to drop off and pick up, you can tell He truly cares for animals. Our dog Finn had such a great time. We highly recommend!”
“Megan and her family did a fantastic job taking care of my senior dog. She sent pictures daily, was honest about when Bailey didn’t finish a meal, and didn’t mind answering any questions I had. She made Bailey feel comfortable and loved which was so important to me. Thank you Megan!”
“John has been caring for my Yorkie for several over night stays. Despite my dog’s anxiety she always settles in to staying at his house. She has made herself at home by taking over his dog’s bed. We will be using him again!”
About: I have cared for my own animals for 20+ years and the older I get the more I love my dog. I currently have a dog named Sage she is a mutt and she is the biggest sweety. She also enjoys other dogs and is the best sister to her 3 cat brothers and sister and Bunny She also is very gentle with our 7 chickens that we let free range. We can keep them in their run if your dog isn’t as comfortable with the birds 😹 I love to take my dog to the beach and get our beach walks in and also chilling in the fenced in backyard. If you would rather your furry to stay home I am also very comfortable house staying. I have been a massage therapist for 25 years and feel very comfortable being in others spaces. Whatever the setting know your pup is safe and cared for like my own. I am currently freelance in my massage business so I have plenty of time and flexibility to spend time and walk your pup. And having a spacious backyard allows for play time too. I have a fenced in yard and also live on a very quiet dead end street in a quiet neighborhood where I enjoy walking the dogs. Where ever I am I always am sure to keep the dogs leashed.
“Lorena Handled my bid Boi very well. She was Pleasant , communicative and sent a lot of video / pics of playtime and feeding so I know my fur baby was good Would definitely recommend”
“Kelly could not have been more communicative and kind. She took such good care of our pup, and he came home exhausted (which is what we hoped for since he’s so high energy). She kept us up to date on all necessary things during our pups stay, and send videos and pictures too. We will definitely consider booking again in the future!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Northampton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northampton. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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 NY 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
