About: Hello! I appreciate your checking out my profile and considering me to care for your pets. I know how important it is to find a great sittet, and I am available to give them all of my attention, and lots of love, while I take care of them in your absence. I am retired from a long career as a registered nurse and the compassion and care I have for humans, and the care I gave them, I will be glad to offer your fur babies. I have a life long passion for all animals, as a child I worked on a local farm and have taken care of neighbors and friends pets. I also am proficient in horses as I've been involved in grooming, riding them for the past 25 years. After losing Violet, my beautiful husky, and then my precious kitty Tessa, I am grateful for the opportunity to extend my loving care to your pets. I am retired and my schedule is almost always open. I will be respectful of your space and make sure that all your pets needs are met and your house is kept excatly as you left it. I have no problem picking up after dogs nor cleaning up litter. I am a caretaker by nature. I have a perfect house for boarding; it is spacious and I have a big yard with a sizeable fenced in dog area. I also can crate your dog if needed.

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: Currently, I work full time during the week, but I will be unemployed at 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.

I was going to be longer then expected and didn’t want to leave my new puppy in her crate for so long. I reached out to Emma last minute to see if she was able to take my new puppy out for a walk/potty and she was able. Emma was great and very kind. She sent me pictures and update. She brought peace of mind and I didn’t feel bad leaving Cookie so long. Emma thank you for your help.

About: I Love dogs, since my dog has passed away several years ago I enjoy pet sitting to fill the void. Animals are love. Your animal will be cared for and loved the way you would. We have a fenced in yard which your animal can play in and he will not be ignored or cooped up. We have had many dogs in the past but do not currently have one. Good with large dogs, or all sizes, really, Many people have trusted us with their dogs but now I am trying this service hoping it works well on all ends, it seems like a good idea. Your animal will be in a safe environment and you can get regular updates. Thank you for considering me. I am currently tele commuting working from home. Your dog won't be left alone for hours on end and will not be ignored. Usually home 7 days a week The yard is fenced in, and I have also been using an apple air tag as an extra level of security. Making sure your dog never gets away is the highest priority.

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.

Thank you for making me comfortable for leaving my dogs with someone other than my family for the first time ever. Especially with my one dog that takes meds on a schedule. My young dog and my older dog were in good hands. I appreciated the updates and pictures and updates. I will use Marissa again in the future. I am happy to have found someone to occasionally care for me big furry kids.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was 16 & before then we have always had pets in my family. I love & cherish animals & make sure they get what they need. I am currently working part time so I have a lot of free time to play/walk/feed any animals as needed. I am pretty much free any time as long as I have a days notice I care for my pets at home like they are my children. Make sure they get all the attention they want when they ask for it & make it easier on my older dogs. I’ve just built a ramp for my girlfriends dog to get in & out of bed easier & make sure she eats at a routine that she is used to with her meds included

We were never able to leave for a trip anywhere without fretting about who would be able to care for the cats. I feel like a weight has been taken off my shoulders! We really appreciated the updates and photos Hayley sent throughout the week. It helped to alleviate any concerns. I would definitely use Hayley again and would recommend her very professional services without reservation.

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’ll be the walk of the town! I am a school-based occupational therapist and am off for the summer, so I’m free morning, afternoon, and evening 7 days a week! I’m a lover of all animals domestic and wild. Your dog (or cat) will have my undivided attention and be treated with the care and respect they deserve, just as I have cared for my own pets.

We cannot thank Amber enough for helping out with our pets while we were away. We have a very nervous puppy so we didn’t want to board him outside our home. Amber came over every day to let them out and feed them. She took our pups on walks and even our shy kitty started creating her at the door when she arrived. We will definitely be using Amber again since she’s so patient and kind to our pets!

About: My name is Nestle & I am a certified dog trainer through animal behavior college. I have been a dog trainer for 10 years. I train all breeds even Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepards, Cane corsos etc. For training I always use positive reinforement. I also teach basic obedience as well and work with any dog with any issue. I used to work at Petco for 4 years so I am knowledgeable about nutrition, pet products, pet care etc. I also have experience in grooming. I have experience working at 2 doggie daycares as well. I also used to volunteer at an animal shelter (peaceable kingdom) and walk the dogs there. I currently have 6 pets I have a sun conure, crested gecko, 2 leopard geckos & 2 dogs (Bichon & Maltese). I have been working for rover for over 3 years. I am an animal lover. I have a 3 year old who is also friendly with animals. I have experience with all types of animals all are welcomed! My goal is help others in need and save animal lives. I work part time at a family owned jewelry store and they are all pet lovers as well. I have a flexible schedule and we are usually closed for holidays. When I go to a clients house to walk their dog or just do a drop in I make sure everything is taken care of. Pups come first and I always ask the client if they need anything additional done around the house. I don’t mind cleaning or helping out. I can take care of other animals such as hamsters, Guinea pigs, reptiles, birds, fish, etc. before leaving a clients house I make sure all doors are locked, the pups are good & settled and the home is secure before heading out. For clients to feel comfortable I do take lots of pictures and videos of their pup and if they want to FaceTime their pup I’m fine with that too.

I currently have 1 cat and 1 dog but grew up owning/fostering multiple dogs and cats all my life. My mother worked out of our house as a dog groomer, so I also have a lot of experience with baths, nail trimming, ear cleaning & other routine maintenance with all kinds of dogs and personalities. I have volunteered at my nearby shelter many times as well to offer assistance with walking, feeding, and providing companionship to the animals. I am experienced and eager to help anyone with their pets and if you feel so inclined to have me, I would love to meet all your beautiful babies in the near future!:) I work from home from 8:30-5pm so I am available early mornings, evenings and weekends to assist with anything your beautiful fur babies might need! I don’t have a fenced in yard but I do have a heavy duty stake that holds a 20 foot leash so your dogs will not be getting away! I also have a crate in my home that can be used if requested. And of course I have 2 friendly babies of my own that will keep your pets company!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Northampton on Rover is $17.12 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 1,877 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Northampton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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 .

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 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.

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
  • 94% 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 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.
