“Diana has been wonderful with Mammoth. She’s dependable, keeps me updated with photos, and genuinely spends time with him during her visits. Knowing he’s getting attention and care while I’m working long shifts gives me a lot of peace of mind.”
“Tiffany was great! Went above and beyond. I just needed someone to let my pups out to pee. Tiffany took the pups out in the sun, let them sunbathe, took a bunch of beautiful photos and offered them yummy treats that she brought for them (not before asking me if it was ok).”
About: Hi! I have 5+ years of experience as a vet technician and currently attending vet school to receive my DVM so you can definitely trust me with your babies! I am experienced with proper care and handling of a variety of species including cats, dogs, reptiles, and birds. I am also proficient at administering meds and caring for senior pets if needed as I had my own senior dog with kidney and heart disease and am aware of what going into caring for pets on medications! On most weekdays I only have about 2 classes that I attend so I am usually free for the day after 1 pm, and I am usually at home in the mornings (until 10 am). I am free most weekends as well. my schedule is pretty flexible so I shouldn’t have much of a problem bending my schedule around to fit your pets’ needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I can provide a structured, low stress environment and closely follow your care instructions to keep routines as close to your own as possible. I supervise all pets carefully, and ensure all outdoor time is secure and safe. I can also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands !
“This is my first time using Rover, and I am so happy that I did. Mia was fantastic! She came over before the scheduled visit to meet Chief and get instructions. She sent me more than 10 pictures and gave a very detailed account of everything they did while she dropped in to visit. Chief was happy and I was relaxed because I didn’t have to worry about his care.”
About: Looking for a pet sitter? Sign up for Rover through my link to get $20 off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/marisl04002 My goal is simple: to give your pet the same level of comfort, attention, and care they get when you’re home. As a sitter, I bring personal attention, reliability, and genuine love to every pet I care for. I don't just watch pets — I bond with them. I take time to understand each animal’s personality, routine, and special needs to ensure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed in your absence. I tailor my care to match your pet’s unique habits — whether that’s extra playtime, medication schedules, special diets, or just quiet companionship. I treat every home and pet as if they were my own, with professionalism, respect, and a high level of communication. Daily updates and photos are always included, so you can travel with peace of mind. As a part-time pet sitter who provides boarding, pet care is central to how I structure my days. When pets stay with me, I treat their needs as my top priority, creating a warm, safe, and engaging environment throughout the weekend. My routine includes regular feeding times, exercise, play sessions, and quiet rest periods, all designed to keep pets comfortable and happy away from home. Communication with pet parents is part of my routine too — I provide regular updates and photos so they feel connected and confident their pets are in good hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stable environment where pets feel secure and cared for, and pet parents can trust their fur baby is safe, whether in my home or theirs.
“Yumi and Cody have been absolutely wonderful pet sitters for my fur babies. They recently watched them for three days and, as always, provided fantastic updates that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciate how attentive they are to my cat who loves to play—they always make sure he gets plenty of engagement and exercise. They’ve been caring for my cats for about a year now whenever I travel, and every experience has been consistently excellent. It’s such a relief knowing my pets are in such capable, thoughtful hands. I always feel at ease leaving home because I trust Yumi and Cody completely. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet sitters!”
“Michelle always takes such great care of our Anakin ! I received updates for each visit and was very responsive . I hope that she can continue to care for him on future trips!”
About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and currently have a pug of my own who I care for every day. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, keeping up with routines, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I’ve also helped care for pets belonging to family and friends, so I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and will always treat your pet with the same care I give my own. I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’m available throughout the week, with the exception of Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1–4 PM. Outside of those hours, I’m flexible for walks, drop ins, and pet care, and I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority. I have a secure, fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time, as well as a crate available if your pet is crate-trained or more comfortable having their own space. I also have two friendly dogs who are easygoing and can provide great company for pets who enjoy being around other dogs. I’ll always follow each owner’s instructions and respect their pet’s individual routine, personality, and boundaries. Whether your pet is in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, they’ll receive plenty of supervision, attention, and care in a safe and welcoming environment.

“Eliza was just a lifesaver!!! I requested drop-ins pretty last minute and she was able to help me out! I also really appreciated that she’s had a bunch of knowledge & experience with kittens, so I trusted her the most with my kitties & she was definitely the right choice!! If you’re looking for someone who has amazing communication, sends great photos, & loves to give attention to your pets, Eliza is definitely who you’re looking for!!! Thank you again so, so much for your help!!! I would 1000% have Eliza back to help in the future!”
About: I’ve been a dog groomer for 3 years now. I treat every dog like family, not just a booking. My calm, patient energy helps shy or anxious pups settle in fast, and I’m great at reading body language so they always feel safe. What sets me apart: Puppy training support - I’ll keep up with your potty routine, crate training, and basic commands like sit, stay, and leash manners so your young dog stays on track while you’re away. Senior dog care - I’m experienced with slower walks, medication schedules, joint-friendly play, and extra TLC for older dogs who need more comfort and attention. Photo updates + communication - You’ll get regular pics and updates because I know peace of mind matters. Whether you’ve got a playful puppy or a mellow senior, I’ll match their energy and give them the same care I’d give my own dog. Can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐾 I’m a dog groomer, working Tuesday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM. I’m also available after-hours if needed. My days off are Sunday and Monday, and I’m available all day on those days. I provide structured, reliable care in your home by following your dog’s exact routine for feeding, exercise, medication, and rest. I adapt my approach based on age and temperament — reinforcing training for puppies and offering gentle, patient support for senior dogs. I maintain a clean, secure environment and provide daily photo updates with clear communication. I also respect your home and can assist with basic tasks like mail collection and plant care upon request.
“i couldn’t be happier with the care and attention given to my furbaby. analisa went above and beyond to make sure my pet felt loved and comfortable while we were away. thank you so much for your kindness and dedication!”
“Elaine has taken care of our cats twice. She follows feeding instructions perfectly. Cleans the litter box better than I do. When she brought our keys back the next day, my cat Hewey ran to the door to greet her. Can't ask for better than that!”
About: Ive had dogs since I was a little girl. I have a passion in loving and taking care of dogs! Everyone trusts me with their doggies 😊 I genuine love dogs and all my pets are indoors, sleep in my bed and are spoiled daily. I love to volunteer at shelters, play with dogs and walk them! I am currently available for boarding, dog walking, potty breaks. Message me, I am flexible. I have 2 children that love dogs and have been raised with dogs. Dog loving family I have a fenced yard, a loving 40lb German / Australian Shepherd to keep tour doggy company or I can separate them if your dog prefers. I do have a Pool but never leave dogs outside unsupervised. None of dogs sleep outside. Indoor dogs always.
About: Experienced with Dogs, Cats, Reptiles (Lizards, Tortoises, etc), Amphibians (Axolotl, Newts, etc), Birds, Fish, & Young (Puppy/Kitten) & Elderly animals alike! I currently raise, train, bathe/groom and care for my Dogs (1, 7, 16), Tortoises, Adopted Strays (Cats), and a lover of all things animal life. My love runs deeply such that I treat others precious animals/pets/family as my own with every bit of care to detail and attentiveness as a whole. Note, Simba & Nena only visit now as family moved out and took them to the new house but while they do visit, it’s only Yugi whom is my personal dog. Pet care fits perfectly within my own daily routine as I’ve developed a schedule that thanks to my passive income sources I am able to give the appropriate time attention and service to every animal in their respective tasks as requested. I am comfortable in saying available nearly 24/7. I have a fenced (solid lower, thin bar upper around 4 ft) outer area and a pet care focused larger bedroom for my personal dogs that are trained and well-tempered! They are comfortable with crates if needed or can be in a different room to accommodate a dogs needs. Dogs may be caged or separated for feedings. While I’m cage friendly, I prefer free roam and long term most dogs learn to individually use and also follow group requests via talking buttons laid for dogs. Feeding can be done open bowl or on schedule. Attentive and respectful to rules and requests of owners.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Montclair is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Montclair
Sarah was very professional and sent updates each interaction she had with my dogs. My dogs are not necessarily easy to manage and she did phenomenally well with them. Which I am grateful for and also this was my first experience with Rover and for sure feel like I can use the app again. And would definitely ask Sarah next time.
Braelyn was very conscientious and flexible with her time to get to know my dogs and learn about their midday routine prior to the actual drop-in visit. My dogs have taken to her, which is big deal as one of my dogs is quite judgy and wary of certain people. I appreciated her honesty and care for my crew.
Paige took care of our two cats with twice-daily drop-in visits while we were away. She kept us updated with photos during each visit and was patient with our cats and their very different personalities, which helped put our minds at ease. She was easy to work with and made the process very smooth!
Matthew did a great job watching my two senior cats while we were away for 2 weeks. They were not even mad at me this time when we returned. They made little messes here and there and Matt always cleaned it up perfect for us. I highly recommend Matthew as a pet sitter!
Marx watched my dog for a full week, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, they were communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure my dog felt comfortable and safe. I got regular updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I got back, my dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for—which says everything. It’s obvious Marx genuinely loves animals and takes their responsibility seriously. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.
Tiffanny was great with my 6 month old puppy. This was my first time leaving her for such a long period of time but Tiffanny was able to check on her multiple times throughout the day and give her walks and lots of attention. Great communication too. I would highly recommend!!

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 Montclair 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 Montclair. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
