About: I have a 4 year old golden retriever that we’ve had since he was 10 weeks old. I absolutely adore animals of every kind. I know basic training for dogs and am still learning each day. I’m incredibly active with a flexible schedule and would love to help out! I work for myself and create my own schedule. I go on multiple walks a day. I like to be home often and spend most of the time in the Montclair area. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly golden retriever who is 4 years old and trained. It’s mostly me that will be at home though my husband will be around as well who also loves animals.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for over 20 years, from childhood through adulthood, and have personally cared for five dogs over that time. Being around dogs has always been a big part of my life, so I understand the attention, patience, exercise, and love that goes into making sure they’re happy and comfortable. My current dog, Reyna, is a loving 4-year-old Micro Bully/Frenchie mix with plenty of personality. Caring for her has given me even more hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, exercise, and understanding a dog’s individual needs and behaviors. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit, going for a walk, or spending more time with them while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and care I give my own. I work remotely and have a very flexible daily schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my routine. Even on days when I have meetings scheduled, I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with your pets. I do train a couple of evenings during the week, but it shouldn’t interfere with providing consistent and reliable care. Working from home gives me the ability to plan around each pet’s normal routine rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. Whether your pet needs attention during the workday, a midday walk, or care while you’re away, I can be flexible and make sure they’re getting the time and attention they need. My home is already set up with pets in mind. My cats have plenty of comfortable spaces throughout the apartment, including a cat tower, a window perch, and different areas where they can relax or have their own space. My dog also has access to a dog park within my apartment complex, which makes regular exercise, playtime, and outdoor breaks easy and convenient. My dog and cats are all comfortable around each other and live together peacefully. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand how important it is to keep them comfortable by maintaining the routine and environment they’re already familiar with. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and any other routines you have in place. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and get plenty of attention while you’re away.
“I’m so glad to have had Kyra take care of my cat again! Once again, Kyra had great communication and made sure my cat got the love and attention she needed while I was away! I’m very grateful to Kyra and would rebook again in a heartbeat!”

About: I offer calm and attentive in-home pet care, emphasizing routine, cleanliness, and clear communication through photos and video updates to ensure your peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work part-time from home, which allows flexibility for reliable drop-in visits and overnight care. I plan my schedule around bookings to ensure every visit is consistent and unrushed. I treat pets like family while in their own home. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keeping to feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special needs. I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness, while keeping owners updated with messages and photos.
“Angie did a great job of taking care of our cats while my fiancé and I were on vacation. She followed our more in depth instructions with the food to a tee and did a great job making sure all the litter boxes were cleaned daily. Would definitely recommend.”

“Jenette was incredible with our cats on our most recent trip! She made us feel at ease with daily check-ins and pictures of our guys, and took care of all of their needs while we were away. I would definitely book her again!”


“My pups ??(and Furby?) and I had a wonderful visit with Stefanie yesterday. We were all really happy! Such a blessing to have this opportunity to work Stefanie again in the future! Thank you so much! :)”
About: I've grown up with dogs of all ages, giving me a natural understanding of their needs. I'm patient, attentive, and experienced with puppies and senior dogs. My lifelong experience helps me provide tailored care and make every dog feel safe and loved. I've had my dog for 6 years, and caring for her is a natural part of my daily routine. Every day, I make sure she's well-fed, take her on walks, and spend quality time playing in the garden or exploring the forest together. We have fun games like hide-and-seek, which keeps her mentally and physically active. Evenings are often spent cuddling on the couch while watching TV, creating a strong bond of trust and comfort. Pet care isn’t just a task for me—it’s part of my life, filled with love, attention, and a deep understanding of a dog’s needs I prioritize safety and comfort by providing a secure, clean environment where pets feel at ease. I follow each pet's routine, ensuring they feel at home. I’m attentive to their needs, offering regular walks, playtime, and affection. Trust is key—I communicate openly with owners to provide peace of mind and consistent care tailored to their routine and needs.
“This was my first time using this service. I selected Siara because of the amazing reviews I read and she is everything the reviews say she is. I felt at ease knowing my kitty, Oliver, would be well taken care of. I received daily pictures and videos to put my mind and heart at ease. Thank you so much for, Siara!”

About: I’ve taken care of family pets since I was a pre-teen. People have always seen me as being so welcoming caring & warm to both cats and dogs. I have plenty of time in the afternoons for walks and drop in visits. The park is 10 minutes away (walking) and I have a fenced-in yard perfect for zoomies. I have a fenced yard, plenty of toys around my house, and 2 lovely parks within walking distance of my home! I live walking distance to both Nishuane Park and Colgate Park. I also have a beagle that’s 8mo old and she loves walks and loves to play. Junie would be over the moon to have another pup to play/walk with. Additionally, I have a large crate and beds of various sizes if needed. Finally, I have 2 extra leashes, so we are good to go. Your furbabies are in good hands with me. My sister and I are animal lovers, so we treat them as our own. Junie, our beagle, will provide great company as well. Go ahead and book 😌
“Andrew is so caring. My two Siberian boys trusted him right away. I know everything went well not just because of the notes and pictures shared (which were great) but because my sweet boys greeted me joyfully having been well cared for!!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, always having a dog and currently caring for four cats. I’ve raised baby kittens, which taught me patience, responsibility, and gentle care. I’m also interested in pursuing a veterinary career, reflecting my commitment to animal well-being. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine through feeding, cleaning, playtime, and quality time. I’m available for boarding on weekends and after 3 PM on weekdays, and I’m flexible to adjust when needed. In my home, I care for pets with patience and genuine love. I take pet care seriously but always make sure animals feel comfortable, relaxed, and happy through consistent routines, attention, and gentle care.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 18 years old, and over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I also have professional experience in pet grooming, having worked as both a bather and a dog groomer. This gives me an edge in handling pets gently and confidently, especially during bath time or when dealing with nervous or high-energy pets. Whether it’s daily care, grooming needs, or providing extra attention to puppies or senior pets, I bring patience, skill, and genuine love for animals to every job. I am currently working in a Pet Grooming as a dog groomer during the week. My availability is only on weekends but I am open for a conversation. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe and loved. I follow any instructions provided closely—whether it’s feeding routines, medication, or special preferences—and I always take the time to build trust with each animal at their own pace

About: Since 2017, I’ve been providing dependable and consistent care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Each walk or visit is tailored to each dog’s personality, temperament and physical condition, from puppies to senior dogs. I walk one household at a time, which helps reduce stress and keeps the experience calm and focused on your pet. Dogs are family and my goal is to keep them comfortable and happy so that every pet owner has peace of mind when their pet is in my care. I'm available for dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs or cats, Monday through Friday: 8 am to 4 pm; Saturday and Sunday: 8 am to 12 pm. For your dog's safety, dogs are prolific sniffers, inevitably putting things in their mouths that they shouldn't. I pay close attention to and keep a watchful eye on the ground to make sure your dog doesn't put anything in its mouth that can be harmful. In the unlikely event your dog or cat needs medical attention, I’m certified in cat and dog first aid by the American Red Cross.
About: Having grown up on a farm and surrounded by various animals, my pet care experience is extensive and deeply ingrained. From nurturing newborn alpacas to handling our pets everyday needs, I have a wealth of knowledge in tending to their well-being. Additionally, having cherished pets of my own over the years has further honed my understanding of their unique requirements and behaviors. My background instills confidence in providing compassionate and skilled care for any furry or feathered companion that comes my way. As a software engineer with a wonderfully flexible schedule, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. My love for animals makes them an essential part of my life, and I prioritize their well-being with the same dedication I give to coding. Whether it's feeding my pets, taking them for refreshing walks, or engaging in playtime, I ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. It's a win-win situation that keeps me both productive and connected to nature. Living on the second floor of a quiet community with a courtyard just outside my door and nearby woods, I provide attentive pet care both at home and for clients. In my home, I ensure pets have a comfortable and secure space to relax, whether it's a cozy pet bed or their own crate if preferred. Regular walks and adventures in the nearby woods offer them ample exercise and stimulation. With plenty of playtime, love, and a variety of pet toys on hand, I make sure they feel right at home and well-cared for throughout their stay.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was in high school, and I have experience with both cats and dogs. I have taken on sitting jobs that lasted for up to four weeks at a time, and I even have regular clients for some pets. Along with energetic and younger animals, I also have experience with elderly animals, as well as blind and deaf animals, and can provide the extra care needed for them. I work a part time job with a consistent weekly schedule, so it is easy for me to plan times to visit pets before and after work. This also gives me the flexibility to spend more time on them during the days where I have time off each week, which also remain consistent. This way I can keep myself and the pets I care for on a regular schedule, which I find helps them feel less stressed while their owners are away! At my home, I have a fenced in backyard, and I am in a suburban neighborhood that is great for walks. Whether at my home or a clients home, I like to keep a schedule with the animals I am watching. I consistently feed and walk them at the same times throughout each day, making sure they have consistent potty breaks after their meals and during the day. It is great when clients have a specific routine for their animal that they would like me to keep, that way I keep their pets on their usual schedule. I do not have any pets or other people living in my home, and it is a very pet friendly environment.

Had a great experience with Riley! Riley took wonderful care of Nyah and Bohdi over the weekend and kept me updated the whole time. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. Riley is very professional and gave Nyah and Bohdi lots of walks and played with them a lot. Nyah and Bohdi were so happy and well cared for. We will definitely be booking Riley again and we highly recommend him!

Mark took care of Chumpy for over a week while we were away, and he did an amazing job! He was incredibly patient and caring with Chumpy and went above and beyond, even cleaning up after his not-so-little messes 🫣. Knowing Chumpy was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying. Thank you so much, Mark, for taking such great care of our old man! We truly appreciate your patience, kindness, and the care you showed Chumpy. We would absolutely recommend Mark to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their pet!

This is my second booking with Nicole. I was out of town for 5 days and I felt completely relaxed and without a worry because Nicole was watching my pets. I highly recommend hiring Nicole - she is kind, patient, caring, professional, and just an overall great person!

Zoe was great!! I was super nervous about my little guy and she made me feel like he was in good, caring hands. He even got to go on walks with her which I never thought possible!! She took the time to be patient with him and let him get used to a new person in our home. Great energy. Highly recommend!

Tracy and Steve were incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, sent regular updates and videos of Dakota, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. They were so kind, easy to talk to, and genuinely cared about her. They even left her treats and a thoughtful note, which was such a sweet surprise. I would absolutely trust them with Dakota again😊

I’d easily recommend Jonny to anyone. Me and my wife have a fairy large dog who doesn’t love new people. With our wedding coming up we needed to find someone to pop in and check on him, Jonny did just that for us and alleviated a lot of our stress. Jonny was super flexible with his schedule, he took the time to get out dog comfortable with him. At first meeting our dog was on the aggressive side and Jonny didn’t flinch. He’s a true pro. Beyond that he’s a great guy, super calm and friendly, there was never a doubt about his character and leaving him access to our house. We will definitely be using him more in the future. I couldn’t recommend him more.

Kayla is, without a doubt, the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. It’s clear from the moment you meet her that she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She’s reliable, attentive, and treats our dog like her own, which gives us complete peace of mind when we’re away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet.

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 Glen Ridge 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!

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.

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.
