“Christine was just wonderful in caring for our two cats for a week! She took such good care of them and the communication from her was top notch! Great updates with many cute pictures. It was clear that our cats enjoyed her visits; even our shyer cat was interacting and getting lots of pets! Highly recommend Christine!”
“Nida is wonderful. She is reliable, takes really good care of our cat and we know we can trust her. Also provides us with timely reports and pictures- our kitty loves her!!😻”
“Thank you Christine for sitting my kitties and all the pictures you sent with your updates. Christine was quick to respond back when I sent the request. She came over for a meet and greet before I left. Christine was very welcoming very friendly.”
About: Animals have always been a massive part of my life. From lifelong companionship with my own dogs and cats to pet sitting for close friends and family, I know what it takes to keep pets happy and safe at home. I have worked with dogs for a long time, which has taught me strong animal body language skills, patience, and the importance of a strict feeding schedule. I treat every animal I visit with the same dedication I give to my own fur babies. I am available daily, making pet care my top priority. My flexible schedule easily accommodates last minute requests, strict feeding times, and multiple daily drop-ins. I provide dedicated pet care right at your doorstep, ensuring your animals stay safe and relaxed in their own space. I am highly detail oriented and committed to maintaining a secure, familiar routine for your animals. My experience allows me to easily adapt to your pet's specific needs, giving you total peace of mind.
“Amanda was amazing and professional. She sent lots of pictures. Dogs eating, playing, etc... it was fantastic the way she worked and cared for our pups. Her summary of the visits were great to read how they are doing in real time. Thank you so much for your heart and professional. We can't thank her enough.”
About: I am currently unemployed as I was laid off. I have my Bachelor's in Biology and Master's in Biotechnology. I have had many 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 am currently unemployed so I have more than enough time to spend with the furry babies! I am pretty flexible regarding dates and times. 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.
“Emma was great! She sent great updates, always letting me know when she was starting her visit and then pictures and updates for how her visit went. Blaze enjoyed his time with her, and I came home to a happy, cared for cat. I would absolutely recommend Emma to anyone needing a sitter!”
“Alyssa is a fantastic Rover sitter! She has been my primary sitter for about a month now and she is very reliable and has been able to accommodate last minute changes to my work schedule. She is respectful and friendly, and communicates timely and thoroughly via the app. Alyssa is so good with my 5-year old Malinois rescue and I definitely recommend her services and plan to continue to work with her.”
“Absolutely AMAZING! Most of the time she stayed with our dogs longer than the designated time frame and took extremely good care of them. She left detailed notes and pictures EACH and every visit!!!! It was so nice to know my dogs were in great care while we were away on vacation.”
“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: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for most of my adult life, about 20 years. I have a love for all animals and caring for them brings me great joy. I am a veteran of the Army Reserves. Currently trying to find steady work but in the meantime I'm available anytime to dog/cat sit. My hours for pet care are ideally early morning - mid afternoon. Extended overnight sits can be accommodated. Walks and Visits are easily doable for me in the morning and daytime. I’d be willing to follow and adhere to any rules/restrictions for myself and their pets to a standard I hold myself to as a responsible human being for a pet.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds for as long as I can remember! I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. Seniors are my favorite and I love puppy and kitten time too! Meds or special foods….no problem! I work in education and have 2 daughters, one away at college and the other in High School. I am available to walk or hang out with your pet during the week after school and on weekends! I’m very knowledgeable in giving pets meds and living with dogs with epilepsy. I love giving walks, giving snuggles and giving treats! I will always treat your pet like my own💞
“My two shy kitties obviously loved Amanda based on the pictures of them playing! One of them had to get medicine and had to be encouraged to eat and Amanda was successful every day! She seems very knowledgeable about cats. I appreciated her daily photos of the cats (and the empty food bowl!). She was always on time and did a great job. She was also really helpful and responsive about a small snag with Rover’s charges. I would definitely book again with Amanda!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for family, friends, and Rover for years and am excited by every opportunity I get to spend with them! I've been a dog owner myself for over 5 years. I can easily adjust my sitting style for dogs with a lot of energy or ones that are a little more relaxed. I am happy to sit in and give belly rubs or take them out on a long walk with me! My home has a fenced in backyard and there are plenty of places to walk near me. I typically work full time during the week at a non-profit theatre, I'm always happy to meet in person before we make final arrangements. I love taking care of dogs and I'd be happy to spend some time with the dog in your life!
“Theresa was fantastic! Her responses were timely & it's obvious she both loves and has experience with animals. Even while my shy cat was hiding, Theresa was able to get her out to pet her and have her take her nightly pill! Definitely reccomend.”
“Olivia is great! Very responsive and easy to communicate with. We’re happy to have her able to stop in and play with our dog Maile while we’re at work. Maile is so excited every time she sees her! 100% recommend”
“Michael came over to our house 2 times a day to feed our 2 Rottie shepherd mixes and let them out to use the bathroom. Him and his family were so great with the dogs! Our dogs are incredibly happy and looked like they had the best time ever in every pic! Michael came over in advance to meet the puppies and get an idea of what we needed, which I really appreciated! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our babies. If you are on the fence about who to select and reading everyone’s reviews like I did, I can say Michael was great and we will be recurrent customers for sure and plan on rebooking him for future travels we have coming up! Thank you so much again Michael and family! Our puppies are so happy!”

Christine was wonderful with our 5 cats! She sent us an update and pictures every day. I could tell they really loved her! We have one cat that is extremely shy/nervous that would not come out for her but she made sure he was eating all of his food. I would definitely recommend her!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Northampton is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $26 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 1,916 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northampton. On Rover:
- 88% 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.
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.
