“I can’t put into words how wonderful it is to work with Niki, she is so caring, thoughtful, responsive, and responsible. I highly recommend to anyone considering working with Niki to chose her as your pet sitter. I have gone away a few times and she took care of my 2.5 yr old cat, and he absolutely adores her. He is usually distant with people but he is very happy with her.”

“Our 3 kitties absolutely love Ja! She's a true lover of animals and understands how hard it is to leave our babies at home when we leave. She provides stellar communication with photos, has very good attention to detail, asks questions, and spends real quality time with the kitties. We feel incredibly at ease when Ja is looking after our little pack!”

About: Currently, I work full time during the week, but I will be unemployed around the end of August. I have my Bachelor's in Biology and Master's in Biotechnology. I have had animals all my life, and I could not imagine living without them. I currently live with two sassy kitties. I would ultimately love to have a farm of some sort with a wide array of animals like donkeys, cats, dogs, ducks, and much more! I am very easy going and adaptable. I will be unemployed as of the end of August, so I will have more than enough time to spend with the furry babies. I still currently work full time, but my week day nights and weekend days are open! I rigorously follow whatever schedule of the pet's, and make sure that basics are always covered such as full water, clean litter boxes, enough playtime, etc.
“Amanda did a wonderful job taking care of my elderly dog. She is very kind person and a good communicator while I was away. Always let me know how things were going each visit along with pics. I will use her in the future again!”


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 loved and taken care of dogs all my life. I’ve had dogs from puppies to seniors and understand how to care to all their needs. Along with that I take the time to really get to know each dog on their own and establish a connection so that each party is happy. I currently work a full time job. However I work from home so that allows me to be flexible with my time and always there to attend to the dogs. I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own to give your fur baby’s company. The dogs can free roam around the house but I’ll always make sure I can see them. If preferred to be caged that is also possible.
About: I have shared my life and home with dogs for as long as I can remember, and today, I am the proud parent of two rescue dogs of my own. Managing a multi-dog household has given me firsthand experience in balancing different personalities, handling various energy levels, and maintaining consistent daily routines. Over the years, I have translated this lifelong passion into reliable pet sitting for multiple families who trust me to provide the highest level of care for their pets. When your pet is with me, you can expect strict adherence to their specific feeding, medication, and exercise schedules. I pride myself on being detail-oriented and organized, ensuring your home and pets are safe and well-managed. I also prioritize proactive communication, so you can look forward to regular, high-quality updates and photos that offer total peace of mind while you are away. I am currently going to school for my Master's Degree in Information Technology while also working full-time remotely. My current work schedule is Tuesdays-Fridays 8 AM to 6 PM EST. Being a remote worker and student gives me plenty of time to be able to give the exceptional care your pet deserves. I believe that pets aren't just animals—they are full members of the family, and I treat every guest at my client's home with the exact same love, respect, and high standard of care that I give my own two dogs. My primary goal is to maintain the comfort of their familiar routines so they feel safe, secure, and completely at ease. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space as much as I respect your pet, ensuring everything remains clean, secure, and exactly how you left it while sticking strictly to your established household rules. I focus on providing plenty of personalized attention, structured playtime, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your family member is in organized, capable, and loving hands.

About: I have always loved dogs! To be honest I can't pass one when I am out for a walk or a drive without saying hello or waving. Dogs are amazing creatures, providing both loyalty and unconditional love to their humans. While I have a great deal of respect for any person who has made the commitment to give a dog in need a forever home, I understand that not all dog lovers can be present 24/7. With that being said, I hope you and your dog will pick me to be your stand-in human. Whether at work or away for the day, I promise your dog lots of love and fun exercise!

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! 🐶💕

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Northampton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
