About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12. Neighbors, family and friends relied me to walk, feed, play, and bathe their pets. I mainly grew up with dogs, cats and rabbits so my passions. I am very flexible and can work around any time needed! Whether it is to walk, feed, bathe any care needed for your pet I will be there! I care for pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s routine closely for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and medications. I use gentle, positive reinforcement and pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, while keeping owners updated for peace of mind.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a child, and caring for them has always been something I do with so much love. I currently have four dogs: two Yorkies, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and a French Bulldog, so I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. Living with them every day has taught me how important it is to provide attention, patience, affection, and a safe environment. I am very familiar with feeding routines, walks, playtime, cleaning, and daily care. I also understand that every dog is different and deserves to have their personality, habits, and routines respected. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that I truly love dogs and treat them like part of the family. When a dog is in my care, I want them to feel comfortable, loved, safe, and never alone. I also want their owners to have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. For me, caring for dogs is more than just a job—it is something I genuinely enjoy and something that has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. ❤️🐾 I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to care for pets throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home, so any dogs staying with me will have plenty of company, attention, and affection. I am available both during the week and on weekends, and I can easily adjust my routine to match each dog’s feeding, walking, playtime, and rest schedule. It is very important to me that every dog feels comfortable, loved, and right at home during their stay. 🐶❤️ In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have a spacious house and a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can go outside, play, and enjoy themselves safely. I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home. They are welcome on the furniture and even on the bed if that is part of their usual routine. I always respect each owner’s preferences and instructions so their pet can feel as calm, happy, and comfortable as possible. Since I work from home, I am able to keep a close eye on them throughout the day, supervise their time outside, follow their feeding schedule, make sure they get enough rest, and provide plenty of companionship, attention, and affection. Their safety and well-being are always my top priority. 🐶❤️

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have experience caring for pets with different routines and personalities, and I know how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a slower, cozy day, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. I’m dependable, patient, and will always care for your pets like they’re my own — plus you can expect plenty of photo updates along the way! I’m currently full time as a radiologic technologist with St. Luke’s. I normally work Tuesdays & Wednesdays 8-4p, Mondays & Thursdays 8-8p. If a Thursday or Monday is needed I could rearrange my schedule to accommodate if needed. Fridays I’m off and I’m available Saturday’s and Sundays when given enough notice. ☺️ When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely while making sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their own environment, so I work to create a calm, safe, and positive experience while you’re away. I also make sure your home is treated respectfully and kept clean and secure. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for friends, family, and acquaintances for 20 years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and have also administered daily medication. Myself and my husband have flexible hours and one of us is usually home. We are only not home for about 4 hours total a day. I have some experience in basic training as well. I have a dog park within 5 minutes of my home to be able to run and play. We do not have a fenced in yard, but we will be getting one in the near future. I live in Nazareth so the town is very quiet, but close to everything. Dogs are allowed on all furniture and can even come to bed with us. We want your dog to feel like part of our family.

“Casey was wonderful with our two dogs! She was not just helpful but also extremely caring and respectful. Our older dachshund requires a bit more attention and Casey was so patient with him. She sent us timely updates and lots of photos during her visits and we could tell how comfortable they both were with her. She was great to communicate with and really put our minds at ease while being away from our dogs. We cannot recommend Casey enough and would love to have her come see the boys again soon!”

About: I grew up in the countryside so i have always been around many animals since my childhood years. I've taken care of dogs and cats of many breeds , I grew up in DR so I had a dog whom gave birth 3 times within the same year and I delivered 9 pups each time. I took care and nurtured all of the pups prior to finding them a new home. I also always took care of two dogs my godfathers sisters had whenever she would travel to Florida they would stay with me. I do it because I love animals and rather make sure their in good care than looked at by someone who’s careless. I work at the wind creek , my free days are Sunday through Tuesday and I am available any time. Wednesday through Thursday from 7-5pm are my working hours. However on these days Between 6pm-10pm I can be available. If needed I can also stay the night , Feeding will be done at 5:45am with a quick potty break prior to me leaving at 6:30am. Furry friends can run free at home and outside , i like taking them on walks and playing with them where with my CoCo i give her treats as she does the things I ask of her like Sit , Stay Still , my dog loves these games. This is a safe space we also have a camera outside monitoring everything. At a clients home I always follow their instructions, usually most clients would leave a small instruction pamphlet for me which I always follow.

We absolutely loved having Christine watch our doggies! 🐾 She was so caring, attentive, and treated him like he was her own. She kept us updated with pictures and messages after the visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear how much she genuinely cared about him, and we came home to a very happy pup! ❤️ We couldn’t recommend her enough and will definitely be using her again in the future! 🐶💕

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Northampton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Northampton is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $23 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,853 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Northampton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

To find sitters in Northampton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northampton. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
