About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was around 8, from family pets to friends who needed somewhere for their dog to stay while they went away. I truly love these animals, I don’t think I’ve met a dog I didn’t adore. Elva and I both work from home for round the clock supervision, care and attention for your furry friend. Both of our schedules are completely flexible so your dog will want for nothing! We have a walled garden with room to be free and feel comfortable on a nicely sized detached property with no worry about your dog being cramped (and if they’re noisy, also no worry about disturbing neighbours 😂) We live next to some fields where we like to walk our own dog as much as possible. Weather permitting, we will take your dog for a good walk round there where we will cross paths with other people and dogs, and there will be plenty to sniff! We can also of course stick to street walking if you or your dog have a preference. We have a dog of our own who is chill and friendly and will be incredibly happy to keep yours company or give them space, he’s the chillest dog known to man.

About: I've taken care of dogs since i was a young child. I am happy to deal with all types of dogs and am available for dog walking, sitting and in home visits to feed and let the dogs out. I can also look after cats and have been a cat owner in the past too. I do flexible local delivery so looking after the dog or cat comes first and i can organise deliveries around that. So first of all i would agree which days and times i'm offering my services then stick to it as a priority. I only do care within other peoples homes. I have a dbs for added security. I always use items provided by the pet owner to keep the dog familiar with it's environment.
About: I have a devoted separate double room in my house where animals can feel safe before they are ready to join the household (see pictures). I know rover prices can seem pretty high sometimes, feel free to message me if you want to negotiate . I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with experience caring for dogs, cats, rodents, chickens, ducks, goats, horses, fish, reptiles, amphibians, parrots, birds of prey and some exotic animals. I personally own two dogs, one cat, and two snakes, and I occasionally foster rescued animals. I’m confident handling different routines and temperaments, and I treat every animal as if they were my own—ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work a regular 9–5 schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care for pets before and after work. I’m available for morning and evening walks, feeding, medication, and general care, ensuring pets stick to their normal routines. I’m attentive and reliable, and I plan my day around the animals’ needs so they feel comfortable, settled, and well looked after at all times. My garden is fenced. I have large living room and dining room,plenty of space for dogs to play. When I care for pets they spend time with my family and my dog. They never feel lonley

“Gosia looked after our 2 cats very well. We received photos and daily updates from her. Our cats seem to love her too. She did a great job and we will happily come back to her. ”

“Eve has been a professional from start to finish, punctual and proactive in communication re drop-ins on my two older dogs. Eve's support made my family feel at ease knowing our dogs are in safe hands. Cannot recommend Eve enough and for sure will book further support when will be going away.”

About: I have experience maintaining a pet’s routine to help them feel safe and secure, including regular exercise, playtime, and companionship. I’m attentive to signs of stress or illness and always prioritize a pet’s comfort and safety. I also understand the importance of keeping owners updated and following specific care instructions closely. I am currently mostly at home. Therefore, I have plenty of time to play with your loved furry friend and to prioritise his needs and safety. I always prioritise a pet’s safety, comfort, and routine, I live alone in a one bedroom apartment with a large balcony with hight walls and there are no kids or other dogs. I take time to understand each pet’s specific needs, habits, and any instructions provided so I can create a familiar and stress-free environment.

About: Hi! I’m Pavlína, a self-motivated and proactive pet sitter with years of experience living alongside cats and dogs. I understand that pets aren't just animals—they’re family. Whether I’m out for a long walk or providing calm company at home, I bring a positive, can-do energy to every booking. I spend my free time studying dog training and behavior, so I am well-prepared to handle different temperaments and needs with patience and care. I’m currently using Rover to get my "animal therapy" fix while providing reliable, high-quality care for local owners. I look forward to helping your pet feel safe and happy while you’re away! Both me and my partner are currently on a freelance work routine with flexible schedules, which makes us both ideal dogsitters for variety of walks and dogsitting throughout the week. I am happy to listen to any needs and any requirements you have when it comes to your pet. I am open and caring person and I treat the dog responsibly.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats since my childhood. I’ve had many pets of all ages, adapting care to meet each of their needs attentively ! I can work from home so I am pretty much free and available any time on any day. I work until 4 on weekdays only with a lot of flexibility to provide all the care I need to. It’s not a barrier in caring for your pets at all, so I'm here should you need 24/7 care too. I care for pets safely in their own home, following routines closely to build trust and ensure a comfortable, secure comfort while respecting owners’ instructions

About: I have dog sat for my friends and i have also walked my friends dogs for them quite regularly. I have also looked after family dogs for days in a row. I am currently a primary school assistant, however i work one hour a day usually in the morning every week, i also do event work but this is not consistent and normally work in the evenings finishing around 10-11pm. I also work in a cafe every saturday starting at 9am and finishing at 4pm. I can easily care for your pets as I have had pets of my own, my family is also very pet orientated and have quite a few dogs within my extended family which I am able to look after and make them feel comfortable.

About: Growing up I’ve always been around dogs, from little chihuahua‘s to Great Danes. I frequently dog sit my grandparents yorkie when they go away, and shes old and a little reactive. I can confidently say I can care for any size dog, however if your pup is on the larger side and has reactivity issues Im not the sitter for you as I don’t have the experience or knowledge to safely care for your pup. That’s not to say big dogs are a complete no! As long as they’re friendly I’ll be happy to meet a few fur friend of any size I currently work Friday mornings part time, so plenty of time for your pets needs. Im flexible with how long I can spend with your pet, wether they need to be with me 24/7 (there is an option for them to be able to come to work with me, however it involves a lot of car travel. Please feel free to ask more about this!) or just need some company for an hour whilst your busy I currently have one cat, and shes very low maintenance. I get most of my experience from pet sitting for family members or volunteer work at shelters. I currently am able to pet sit in your own home and drop-ins for any animal, as well as solo walks for dogs (group walks can be discussed if the dogs know each other well or live together!) Your pet will be played with and loved, and above all, cared for

“Rob was fantastic! After a last minute request, Rob came round the same day to perform a meet and greet at such short notice and having been at work the full day! We were so grateful that he agreed to take care of Maverick for an hour the following day! We received some beautiful photos of Maverick during the visit and were kept well informed… it looks like Mav had a great time and trusts Rob already! We will definitely be using your services again Rob, thank you ☺️”


About: Hi! I’m a friendly, caring and reliable animal lover who has grown up around pets my whole life. I’ve always had dogs and have also cared for cats, hamsters and rabbits, so I’m very comfortable looking after all kinds of pets and understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I’ve regularly dog-sat for neighbours, friends and family, including both day sits and overnight stays. More recently, I’ve also helped care for two new puppies in my family, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with the extra attention, patience and care puppies need. I genuinely love being around animals and would treat your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, as I’m taking some time away from work to study Pilates and focus on building my own business. This gives me plenty of free time and flexibility throughout the week, which makes pet sitting a great fit for my lifestyle. I’m able to dedicate lots of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for, whether that’s daytime visits, longer stays or overnight sitting. I’m also able to be flexible around individual routines and can work around feeding times, walks and any specific care your pet needs. I really enjoy having animals around, so pet sitting is something I’d genuinely love to incorporate into my day-to-day life. I always aim to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible, as I know this helps them feel comfortable and settled. I make sure they have regular toilet breaks, plenty of fresh water and lots of opportunities for play, exercise and stimulation throughout the day. I’m very happy to spend plenty of time keeping pets company, whether that’s playing with them, giving them cuddles or simply being around them so they don’t feel lonely. I’m also comfortable using crates when this is part of their usual routine and would always follow the owner’s instructions around crate time and sleeping arrangements. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality, and I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, sleeping and play routines. Most importantly, I want them to feel safe, happy and cared for while their owners are away.
About: As a dedicated pet lover and proud owner of a lively Maltese named Luca, I understand the joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. Since welcoming Luca, I’ve discovered the true happiness animals add to my day-to-day life, and I often find myself connecting more with pets than people. Caring for Luca has taught me patience, understanding, and the importance of nurturing a pet's unique personality and needs. This deep connection drives my motivation to become a pet sitter, where I can extend the same level of love and care to other pets as I do with my own. I know how important it is for pet owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while they’re away. With me, your pets will not only be in trusted hands but will feel like they are a part of my own family. Pet care is woven seamlessly into my week, making it just as essential (and enjoyable) as my morning coffee! Working from home means Luca is my little “coworker” most days, keeping me company and reminding me to take breaks (which usually means playtime or cuddles). Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my "away days," but I've made sure those are full of extra treats, comfy spots, and toys for Luca to enjoy while I'm onsite. On all other days, I’m here to provide all the attention he could want, from belly rubs to outdoor adventures. For other pets I’d be caring for, I bring the same level of attention and love. I work around their schedules, whether it’s feeding time, walks, or just time to snuggle. My daily routine with pets is as fun and flexible as they need, with Luca as the best assistant anyone could ask for! Living in a cozy one-bedroom home with a fenced garden gives me a perfect setup for pet care! The garden is a safe spot where pets can roam freely and explore without any worry. I love that there are parks nearby, so daily walks and a change of scenery are always on the agenda—great for stretching legs and sniffing new scents. Inside, I make the space as welcoming as possible with comfy spots to lounge, plenty of toys, and some tasty treats for rewards or just to brighten their day. With Luca’s stash of toys and our little routines, pets here can enjoy a mix of indoor comfort and outdoor fun, all with a loving companion to keep them company. Whether they’re looking for playtime or just a quiet spot to relax, they’ll feel right at home!
About: With 15 years of experience, I treat every pet like family. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn or providing extra care for a senior dog or cat, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is the personal touch—I get to know each pet’s unique personality and treat them just like I would my own. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority! If your dog is staying with me, they’ll have an absolute blast! We’ll play exciting games like fetch and tug-of-war, or just zoom around indoors and outdoors. I love teaching fun tricks—like high-fives or rolling over—always with plenty of treats and encouragement. Walks are a daily adventure, complete with sniffing sessions and some relaxed people-watching around the neighborhood. My goal is to keep them active, engaged, and showered with love! For cats, I create a fun and cozy space just for them! We’ll have play sessions with feather wands, laser pointers, or whatever sparks their curiosity. If they love affection, expect plenty of chin scratches and cozy lap time. For independent kitties, I’ll make sure they have a peaceful, comfy retreat where they can lounge and observe in total comfort. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for them to relax and play. Every pet receives personalized attention and supervision to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. For in-home care, I create a calm and welcoming space, sticking to each pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether it’s following specific feeding times or maintaining their exercise schedule, I prioritize trust and safety. My goal is to make every pet feel at ease, whether they’re staying in my home or in theirs!
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 12 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. I’ve looked after family pets, volunteered at a local shelter walking dogs, and even trained my own pup in agility and tricks. I recently cared for my senior dog through kidney disease, so I understand the special attention older dogs need. Pet safety is a top priority, and I treat every dog like my own with love, care, and lots of fuss. I’ll never leave your dog unattended unless you’re comfortable with it, and I always cater to each dog’s unique needs. Let me know if your dog has any special requirements or quirks. I’m here to help them feel safe and happy! 😊 I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays, and I’m also available on weekends so I’m home and fully present to give your pet lots of attention, regular walks, toilet breaks, and playtime. Your dog will be treated like one of my own, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away! I live in a home with a secure, fenced garden so there’s no need to worry about your pup trying to escape. There are plenty of lovely walking spots nearby, and I also have access to a fully enclosed field where dogs can enjoy safe, off-lead playtime—only if you’re comfortable with that, of course!

Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Northampton
Danielle was brilliant! So lovely and so friendly too. We needed a dog walker really last minute due to other people cancelling on us. She's been great with communication and accommodating what we needed. Simba🐶 warmed to her straight away and you can tell she really loves animals like theyre her own. Would be our first choice to use her again, and would definitely recommend! ☺️☺️

Lisa has looked after our dog Margot on several occasions - dropping in to see her when we have been out for long periods. This has sometimes been at short notice, which has been much appreciated. Lisa gives great updates, lots of notes and pictures and communication is always quick and easy. Margot loves Lisa and always has a great time. Would highly recommend Lisa to anyone!

This was my first experience with a pet sitter and I was anxious to leave my pets. Adrienne was amazing since the start she tried to understand their needs and how we would make Boston get used to her. She communicates super well and seriously has put my mind at ease. My pets absolutely loved her. She was gentle, patient, and made my dog feel totally comfortable during my time away. It’s such a relief knowing my pets are happy and relaxed while I’m away. Highly recommend — the whole experience has been smooth, caring, and stress-free. I will definitely book again with Adrienne Thank you so much for all the support to my pets I am forever grateful

Caitlin come to provide company for Albie as he has separation anxiety and struggled to be left alone for any length of time. Albie really seemed to enjoy the time spent with Caitlin, which helped him to relax in the house while I was out. Caitlin was so nice, very professional, reliable and super punctual. I would definitely recommend.

- Check the 'Last Updated' status: On each sitter’s profile, there is a calendar with their availability. Under their calendar is a status update for when they last updated their availability.
<b>Tip:</b> Sitters who specialise in drop-in visits and dog walks may have more flexibility for last-minute visits than sitters who focus only on house sitting or boarding.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leads, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
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 key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've 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're 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'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
