“Braelyn was so amazing and we will definitely be booking with her again! Her communication was always timely and kind. I booked incorrectly and ended up paying more and Braelyn reached out to fix the booking so that I could save money which she totally did not need to do. She also accommodated me by coming later than we anticipated which I super appreciate. My dogs looked really happy from the pictures and she did everything we asked and more!”

“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!”
“Michelle always takes such great care of our boy Anakin ! She takes him on walks and plays fetch, and I always know he’s in good hands while we are away. Michelle send daily updates , with photos and videos and immediately lets us know if there are any concerns . I recommend Michelle and hope to rebook with her if she is available !”

“Mia did an excellent job caring for our pup! She was friendly at our meet and greet, patient with our energetic dog, followed our care instructions, and gave a detailed summary of her drop-in visit. We would be happy to have her back to care for our dog again. Thank you, Mia, for a job well done!”

About: I’ve cared for animals, my entire life and understand that every pet has their own personality routine and needs. I treat them like part of my own family. Caring for animals has always been a part of my routine. I can have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, feeding playtime, bathroom breaks, and companionship. When caring for pets, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I respect both the pets routine and the home itself. I provide a safe calm environment monitor pets closely and keep owners updated with messages and photos so that they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

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.
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and currently care for four cats of my own. Because of that, I understand that every cat has a unique personality, whether they’re social and playful or more independent and reserved. What sets me apart is my patience and attention to detail. I’m experienced with daily feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and recognizing when a cat’s behavior seems different than usual. I know how important consistency is for cats, and I work hard to keep them comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I treat every cat as if they were my own and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving loving, reliable care. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine. I currently care for four cats, so my day naturally revolves around feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and making sure each cat is healthy and comfortable. Caring for multiple cats has taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and paying attention to small changes in behavior. Because pet care is something I do every day, I understand the responsibility that comes with looking after someone else’s pet. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule and needs. In a client’s home, I follow feeding instructions carefully, make sure fresh water is always available, clean litter boxes or pick up after pets as needed, and spend quality time with them through play, companionship, and attention. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. As a cat owner myself, I understand the importance of creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I pay attention to a pet’s behavior and personality, respect their boundaries, and make sure they feel secure and cared for. My goal is to treat every pet with the same level of care and patience that I give my own cats.
About: I’ve always loved animals and had many family pets growing up. I have had experience caring for and walking dogs of various ages and temperaments. I can stay kind, patient, and conscientious every step of the way! I have a very flexible schedule and can adapt on the fly! Let me clear my mind and a bit of your to do list with a brisk or slow stroll with your four legged friend. I show respect to all species and will vow to take the safest and healthiest path each step of the way with your four legged family member. Open to suggestions and areas your pet may need extra attention or time on.
About: I am a veterinary nurse with 4 years or small animal experience that ranges from emergency medicine, medication dosing/ administration, subcutaneous/IV/intramuscular injections, fear free practice/restraint, puppy care and end of life care for senior pets. I work full time at a general practice animal hospital so my days are full of the happy moments like meeting a dear clients new puppy or sending home a successful surgery patient but there are also days where we are there to hold a little one whose family couldn’t be there to let go. My work is not routine, it’s a lifestyle. Being able to share compassion, hope and knowledge is what allows me to be able to continue the work that I do everyday. I am a full time vet nurse and I sadly do not have any pets of my own. Im just a young girl that’s career oriented and determined to meet goals so that I can ensure my future pet gets the life it deserves. Until then I’m very happy to love and care for every pet I can.
About: Hi, I'm Sarah! I’ve always loved caring for animals and have experience with pets of all kinds. From helping care for my senior dog in her final weeks to assisting with dog births, raising puppies, training young dogs, and pet sitting for friends and family, I’ve cared for pets through every stage of life. I also have experience with cats, chickens, hamsters, and fish. I know every pet has their own personality, and I’m happy to provide the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I believe the best pet care starts with great communication and understanding each pet’s unique needs. I know pets are family, so I’ll treat yours like my own and do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away! I currently work a part time job late hours on week days so my whole day is pretty much free and weekends i usually work mornings so it’s harder to schedule then. My best way to keep pets safe is having good communication with owners and understanding every pets needs. Knowing how pets are like family it is so important to me that every pet is safe and happy!

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and animals they’ve always been a big part of my life. From the time I was 11 to 17 I helped my aunt with her animal care business, which gave me lots of walking, feeding, bathing, and spending quality time with dogs of all kinds. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets too, and I always treat each one like they’re my own. I truly enjoy giving animals love, attention, and a safe, happy environment. This is my second job! As I am a young adult trying to save up for my future so my schedule is very tight around my other jobs schedule as of right now. When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I stick to their normal routines for feeding, walks, and playtime so they feel secure. I give plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles, and always keep their space clean and cozy. I also follow any special instructions carefully, whether that’s giving medications, handling specific diets, or keeping up with training. My goal is to make each pet feel like they’re part of my family while their owner is away.

About: I am half way done with my schooling to become a veterinarian and have had 7 years working with animals in a professional setting. My experience and skills can come in handy if your pets need more help (medications, fluids, insulin etc). I also have 2 cats with heart issues myself so I am very familiar with handling special needs pets! My schedule right now allows me to have time for walks and drop in appointments if needed up to 3 times a day at your convenience I currently don’t offer care for pets in my home but in emergency cases, I can easily crate your pet if needed and if your pet is crate trained.
About: I am a dog mom of a rambunctious Siberian husky/ German shepherd who I’ve cared for since he was 7 weeks old. I grew up taking care of large dogs, but I am comfortable with pets of all sizes, calm or hyper. I thoroughly enjoy walking on my free time and would love to take your beloved pet for a stroll or look after them while you are away. Evenings & weekend care preferred. Although, My schedule is slightly flexible as I work from home, please reach out to me so we may discuss your needs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Montclair
Our dogs really enjoyed their drop in visit with Kellar. Kellar did a wonderful job of noticing what the dogs were communicating and responding accordingly. They took care of dinner and made sure to administer medication to our pup who needs it. I appreciated all of the photo and video updates throughout the visit. Thanks Kellar!

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!!

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.

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 .

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.
