About: Hi there, I am a lifelong dog owner; I am experienced and caring. I love dogs of all breeds and personalities, and I've never met a dog who didn't like me! I'm never bored as long as there's a dog nearby :) I'm also a Stony Brook University student with a flexible schedule and my own reliable transportation. I'll take great care of your dog(s) and your home. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet... My other job is seasonal landscaping, however my boss is very flexible and lenient when it comes to my Rover job. My landscaping will never interfere with my care for your pet. At my client's home your pet's safety and wellbeing is always my priority. If I have any questions I will always ask the pet owner and follow whatever schedule and instructions they have laid out.
“Meghan was amazing. I needed someone last minute and she was in constant communication with me the entire time, very professional super efficient. Took great care of my dogs. 10 out of 10 recommend”
About: Hi there! I’m Adrianna (or Adi for short), and I believe that pets aren't just animals—they are family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your best friend behind, which is why my goal is to provide a nurturing environment filled with belly rubs, long walks, and endless love. Whether we are playing fetch or cuddling up for an afternoon nap, your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. I am always open to discussing any additional support that your pet may need. I am currently employed but mostly work from home, so my schedule is flexible and can work around any pet’s needs—provide an extra walk, an extra cuddle session: you name it! I have a large fenced in yard that provides my animals with safe spaces for exercise. I also have a pet water fountain inside the home to promote hydration especially during the summer months. My pets always get a breakfast and dinner, though each is tailored to their specific dietary needs. Playtime is a must in my household, and my pets always receive interactive stimulation to keep their minds and bodies healthy.

“Jessica was great! She was super responsive to messages and a huge help with my puppy. I definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a dog walker in the Hampton Bays area!”
“Victoria was wonderful! She walked my 2 yo beagle twice a day for two weeks while I worked from home at the end of the summer. He couldn’t contain his excitement when he saw her coming up the driveway! She was on time and kept me updated with any concerns. I’ll definitely be working from home more now that we’ve found her.”

About: Hi! I’m Cara, and I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m reliable, attentive, and will always treat your pet like they’re one of my own. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away, and I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I currently provide care for small to medium-sized dogs over one year old, as well as cats. I’m not accepting puppies under one year or large-breed dogs at this time.

About: Animal lover since the day I was born! I have a 5 year old cat named Lilly who is extremely friendly with other pets so I can bring pets to my house. I worked at New York’s Best Pets on Dyckman 200 Street before it burned down unfortunately and there I took care of feeding, grooming and playing with the pets as well as customer service. I’ve taken care of many dogs in the past, from walking to dog sitting. I have given prescribed medicine to dogs when they needed it and have trimmed their hair when asked to, as well as given them a full shower and a good groom. I live next to Raynor Beach Country Park and I love going out for walks and runs so you know your dogs will always have a good time and stay fit! I’ve been taking care of pets most of my life and I want to give pets the best experience they’ve ever had. I’m athletic so I have plenty of energy to burn. With me, I can guarantee your pets will have a great time and you’ll be satisfied with how they’ve been taken care of!
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life and have over 15 years of personal experience owning and caring for pets. As a lifelong cat owner who has raised four cats, I know exactly what it takes to keep felines happy, healthy, and comfortable. In addition to my own pets, I have years of experience pet-sitting for neighbors, handling everything from daily walks and feeding schedules to playtime and basic cleanup for dogs of various breeds and sizes. I treat every animal with the same level of love and responsibility as my own. My schedule allows me plenty of flexibility to dedicate high-quality time to your pets. I am available for weekend boarding and house sitting, and my weekdays are wide open for afternoon and evening visits, walks, or check-ins. Because I can manage my time effectively, your pet will never have to wait long for a bathroom break, a fresh meal, or some energetic playtime. Safety is my absolute highest priority when watching a pet. I maintain a highly organized, safe, and clean living space where animals can relax without stress. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow all security protocols, ensure doors and gates are fully secured, and strictly adhere to your specific rules regarding crating, feeding, and leash safety during walks. You can expect regular photo updates so you always know your fur baby is safe and thriving.
About: I’ve had dogs since i was five years old, I’ve always been an animal lover. I had three dogs growing up and have now just got my own after moving out on my own. I love being around dogs and helping create the happiest life for them. I know a big part of that is getting them out of the house for them to experience a happy adventurous life and not to be cooped up. I want to help create that life for as many animals/ dogs as I can when owners schedules can become to busy to always do that themselves. I work half remote and half in the office. I’m aware everyone has different schedules and would love to help whenever I can whether that be after or before work or on my lunch breaks. I am very patient and caring towards all dogs. I understand every dogs personality is different and can accommodate their needs based on whatever instructions or care they require.
About: Animals are here to heal our souls therefore I want to do the same for them and give them the best attention and fun time! I am currently home all day and would love some furry company. I can coordinate my time to fit your pets needs and wants. I am determined to provide whatever care needed for our furry friends. I try to listen and understand them watch them and play with them at all times. They have all my attention the whole time they’re with me.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Northampton
TL; DR: Julie is clearly an animal lover, who took excellent care of my pup and helped burn off some of his youthful energy! So grateful to Julie!! 💝 The longer story: I hired Julie to walk my high-energy, youthful cockapoo 1x per day, when I had to unexpectedly go on a work trip. My pup stayed with my mom but as she is older, I needed Julie to handle the morning walks. Julie was fantastic with my dog and definitely helped burn off some of that exuberant energy! She was easy to communicate with, was always very punctual, and was great with my fur baby. I would hire her again without hesitation. The only feedback is: I would have loved more pictures, but certainly not worth removing any stars.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Northampton is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $6 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Northampton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Northampton after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northampton. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
