About: There’s no better company in this world than that of a good dog! I've been pet-sitting and dog walking for friends and neighbors for over a decade, and have extensive personal pet experience as well (of the mostly furry variety). I would love to spend time with your fur babies, and vow to treat them as if they were my own. I have extensive education under my belt to better care for your pet, including classes in dog CPR and first aid (Academy of Canine Educators), Zoo Science (animal enrichment), as well as Dog Emotion & Cognition (Duke University) and Dog Behavior Solutions (ASU). Your busy schedule does not mean your buddy has to be alone all the time! Let me help you give them the love they deserve :)
“Alec house-sat for us for about a week and took care of our dog and cat. We got lots of updates, and he was very friendly and easy to communicate with. He also gave our dog his daily medicine. Our animals loved him! Highly recommend!! ?”


About: Hello, My name is Ezekiel or Zeke for short! I been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I love almost every animal I come across and would like to think they feel the same about me. I have been pet sitting professionally for about 15 years now. From trembling chihuahuas all the way to loving bumbling pitties. Through the rain or shine, I’ll make sure your pups are loved and cared for. Currently my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m available weekdays (and weekends as needed). All in all I’m pretty flexible with whatever you and your pet may need! I'm always happy to work around you & your pet's routine to make sure they get all the love, care, and attention they deserve while you're away! Currently, I'm not able to host pets in my apartment due to building rules. However I am more than happy to provide in-home sitting, drop-in care, and walking. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority, and I treat your home and pet with the same care I would my own-just elevated to a five-star level.
About: Dedicated and reliable pet sitter with 21 years of hands-on experience in dog sitting, cat sitting, overnight care, and residential house sitting. I will love your fur babies like they are my own! As a passionate pet caregiver, I’ve structured my life to make pet care my top priority. Because I am fully available during days, nights, and weekends, your pet will enjoy a highly consistent and engaging routine that fits seamlessly into their usual habits. I will care for your pets in your home with love and gentleness, treating them exactly like they are my own. As a dedicated pet caregiver, I understand that your pets are beloved family members.

Whether your dog needs an energetic game of fetch, a long neighborhood walk, or your cat prefers quiet cuddle time, I adapt my energy to match your pet's unique personality and needs.
“Khalaya is a very sweet person and took excellent care of my two dogs and cat. This was the first time I've hired someone to come take care of my animals, but she put me at ease when I met her. My dogs were excited to meet her and I felt comfortable leaving them with her for the weekend. She sent me pictures and a video of them while we were gone and they looked relaxed. I'm surprised my cat came out to meet her, but there's photographic evidence that she did! When we returned, our animals were happy and well cared for. They were happy to see us, but there is no doubt in my mind that they enjoyed getting tons of attention while we were away. I would absolutely have her back the next time we travel! Thank you Khalaya!”

About: I provide reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s personality and routine. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, medication reminders, walks, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my schedule, especially since I will be retiring in June of this year. I will have a flexible routine and plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, playtime, feeding schedules, and giving pets the attention and companionship they deserve. I currently have two dogs at home and will also have a privacy fence installed in June to provide a safe outdoor space. At this time, I would prefer caring for pets in their own homes where they are most comfortable and able to maintain their normal routines. I make safety a priority by carefully following feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and household rules. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away.

“Giavanna was amazing! So communicative and had my dogs playing and well cared for. One of my pups is extremely shy and she must be a miracle worker because he was a normal pup with her!”

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.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better house / pet sitter! I was out of state visiting family for the weekend, and having someone so reliable and attentive in my home gave me total peace of mind. Knowing both my babies (cat and dog) were so well cared for allowed me to truly relax and enjoy my trip without a worry. I loved receiving regular updates and photos throughout the weekend—it was nice to see my pets happy and comfortable in their own home while I was away. My home was left in wonderful shape, and both of my pets were clearly loved and spoiled. This is the first time I have used Rover for pet sitting and it worked out well. I will book again if needed and highly recommend her for services anyone looking for caring and trustworthy pet care!”

“Kim was amazing! She stayed in our home for almost two weeks taking care of our two fur babies. From the moment we met her we felt confident that she would be perfect for our family. She has a lovely, gentle but confident demeanor with a holistic approach. Our senior dog was not having regular chore time so Kim went out and bought pumpkin to add to his diet. Worked like a charm. We came home to two very relaxed and happy dogs. We also felt Kim took great care of our home and managed all with ease. We can’t wait to have her back again. She’s the best!”

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: Dog owners will definitely love the fact that I am dog owner myself and equipt to most dogs. I do not have exact experience from someone hiring me to take care of their pet,but I did have three dogs within a decade of my life. My animals ranged from a whole lot of fish to 6 guinea pigs to a bird to 3 dogs. Currently raising two 12 week old puppies. So I am a animal person. I would say that I am home all day to take care of my two small pups Max and Brody. I do have a good amount of time with each dog I am taking care of at the time. I would say my specials skills with animals are I try to talk to them and also try to calm them down. I do have a part time job that work the evenings mon-wednesday, Friday- Saturday schedule so I am limited at night, but during the day I can provide care for any pet here on Rover. I would make sure that everything they are taken outside that if you would have a gate that it would be closed and locked and also help secure a nice play area for the pet.
“Su is the best! She met me on very short notice to meet me and my pup. I felt instantly at ease with her. She was prompt , kept me updated and sent videos throughout the day. Cannot recommend her enough.”

“Wildris is amazing - she send me plenty of pictures & updates throughout the week. She left my house spotless and was so respectful of our home. Would highly recommend for pet/house sitting!”

About: Growing up I wanted a pet so badly but unfortunately, I had a parent that was allergic to cats and fur. I spent years taking care of all the neighbors pets of any size breed or age eventually when I was in the eighth grade my parents got a hyper allergenic dog. I loved her so much and spent so much time with her and taking care of her. Unfortunately, I lost her unexpectedly in 2024 but since then I become a first time cat owner, and I am loving it. I love animals and I love taking care of pets. I hope to connect with you to discuss how best to take care of your pets so that you know they’re getting the best care. During the weekend I have full availability to take care of your pets. During the week, I have a flexible, work schedule with an option of working from home two days a week. Thursday specifically are a more difficult day for me to get out of the office, but my flexible schedule allows me to take the time to take care of your pets. I like a balance of active engagement and rest. I am an active person that loves to be outside and can keep up with the most energetic pets. I am also a bookworm and know the joys of sitting on the couch, reading a book with a snoozing pet.

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.

Alec stayed at our home with our dog Phoebe for a week and did an amazing job. We could not be more pleased with how much he cares for Phoebe - she adores him! We are so very fortunate to be able to go away and know our home and our girl will be in the best of hands!

The average cost of House Sitting in Northampton is $55 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $88 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Northampton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Northampton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 .
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.
