“This was my first experience and I was very nervous about the process. Nikki came over beforehand and did a meet and greet with my dogs and answered all my questions. She was very patient and reassuring. I would highly recommend her as she was able to handle my 4 dogs without an issue and communicated with me the entire time!! Thank you!!”
“David did wonderful, even with my older cat with her meds. He made sure Scooter took her meds. Communication was great. Pictures every day. The cats ate all their food for David, even better than for me. Thanks David.”
“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! 🐶💕”
“Denise was so easy to work with and fit me in last minute. My dog really took to her and she doesn’t usually warm up very quickly. I would definitely recommend and use her again in the future”
“I am so thankful for finding Nida! She was accommodating on last minute notice and happily walked me through this entire process. She was so personable at our meet & greet and both of my dogs instantly took to her because of her warm and friendly personality. Nida was punctual for all of our scheduled drop-in visits, followed feeding instructions and spent a lot of time with my dogs during their outdoor time. The pictures, videos and detailed notes provided at every visit made my time away from them much less stressful. I will not hesitate to re-book Nida in the future!”
“I can't say enough wonderful compliments about Christine. She was great with our Border Collie Sadie. It was nice receiving the pictures. Sadie looked very happy. I will definitely use her again. She is a lovely lady.”
“I’ve booked Olivia several times for check-in’s and she is very reliable and always comes through for us in a pinch! Great communication and of course Sully loves her - Thanks Olivia!”
“Justina did an excellent job caring for our three cats while we were away. She provided frequent updates and amazing photos that gave us peace of mind and showed that our fur babies were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear she took the time to make sure they received plenty of attention and care during each visit. We came home to three happy cats and felt completely confident that they were in good hands while we were gone. We highly recommend Justina and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! 🐾💕”
About: I have cared for pets of all ages and breeds. I am comfortable handling and walking energetic youngsters and senior dogs that require a little more patience I have a full time job that has flexible hours. Some days I am available all day and other days I have to leave for a few hours but I’m always back home for dinner time or walks around the neighborhood I care for all pets as if they were my own. I appreciate their personalities and quirks. I am excited to add more animals to my pet sitting fam!
“This was our first time booking with her, and I could not be happier with the care she gave my two boys. She was extremely detailed, followed every instruction perfectly, and kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she truly cared about my dogs and treated them very well. I would absolutely book with her again and will definitely trust her with my boys in the future. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time having “a stranger” doggysit. Upon meeting Holly we felt very comfortable with her caring for our dog. She is so sweet and I could tell our dog really liked her. We have no doubts in reaching out to her again. Thanks Holly!”
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’m an animal lover who’s responsible and reliable. I’ve had dogs my whole life, so trust your pets are in good hands. When left with me your pet and I will go for morning runs, afternoon fetch & lots of potty chances. We also have a fenced yard where they can run/play freely. I can bathe/ groom your dog if needed If your pets need any medication I can also give them the medicine I’m experienced in doing so. Currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to play and explore with your fur baby! I'm very energetic, just what your dog needs! I have a fenced yard and friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed as well, I try to keep the environment the same as you would in your home, to cause less anxiety for your pup. I’m all about happy tail wags !
“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.”
“Elizabeth is great. She has walked Dakota several times and is always quick to communicate and very reliable. Dakota loves her. Most recently, Elizabeth helped us out by visiting with Dakota while we were at a family event. I highly recommend Elizabeth.”
“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.”
About: I’ve always been my friends’ and family’s go to pet sitter. When I was 10 I got my first puppy that I raised and trained and we grew up together. I love going for walks and playing ball. I don’t have any pets of my own at this time so your pet will get all my love and attention! I’m available all weekend. During the week I’m home on Mondays and Fridays. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, I’m available after 5:30pm for drop ins or walks. I have a large open spaced playroom that opens up to a mostly fenced yard. There’s a park very close so going outside to play or going on a walk is always welcome.
“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!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,944 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
