“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!”
“Angie is my dog, Olive's new bestie! I've never met anyone so intuitive when it comes to caring for dogs and it definitely shows. Olive is typically very anxious but when I get home from work, she's relaxed and happy. Angie also sends comprehensive recaps of each visit and plenty of photos. She took the time to meet Olive before her drop in visit and asked all the right questions to set herself up for success. I'm excited to create a lasting partnership with Angie as I feel that Olive is in the best hands possible while I am away.”
“I feel very fortunate to have found Bonnie. She has cared for my pup twice now, and it’s been a wonderful fit. She’s always punctual (often early), professional, and attentive with my dog. Bonnie stays in constant communication and frequently sends photo updates, which I truly appreciate. I hope she continues to be available, as I’m confident she will quickly become my go-to sitter. Thank you, Bonnie—you’re amazing!”
“Letitia is an awesome catsitter! She took great care of my little girl who sometimes is not too friendly. But Letitia won her over! Lilly was well taken care of and was just as happy to see me when I returned. I couldn't have asked for more. I will definitely request her again. She's great!! Thank you so much!!”
“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 !”
“She was great! Great communication great care provided to my dogs and cats! She was so nice when we met and remained polite the entire time! I def recommend and if she's available next time, she'll be the first I look for to care after my pets!”
“Kellar was fantastic with my animals. I could immediately tell she loved animals and was going to be good with my cat. Kellar sent pics for every visit, was dependable & I came home to a happy cat. Thank you Kellar for taking care of them and for giving me peace of mind while I was gone. I will book with her again if I ever get to take another vacation!!”
About: My family and friends always trust me to take care of their fur babies all the time. I have experience with dogs as big as great Danes and as small as tea cups. I’ve dog sit for my cousin every tuesday for 3 years. It was an amazing experience and I love being around different type of dogs and cats. I have a dog and a cat so i’m well experienced with both type of babies I’m a college student so it gives me a lot of freedom and time to go hangout with your fur babies and give them the love they deserve I will never let a fur baby out of my sight even when they are outside i’ll go play or hangout with them and i love going on walks so i don’t mind a long walk at all
“Very nice and extremely attentive and trustworthy! And a good cat person. It took several days for my cat to warm up to my aunt when she pet sat, but Laura hit it off with her right away.”
“Mia was fantastic with our dog, Jacky. She was right on time, left detailed summaries and seemed to understand our dog’s personality and needs within minutes. She is very trustworthy and we feel like we really lucked out as she was available last minute as our usual dog sitter canceled. Will absolutely reach out to Mia again.”
“I had Beth-Ann take care of my dog when he was just a puppy and I was so happy to see that a few years later she’s still puppy sitting. She took really good care of my dog as if he was her own. Can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I use to pet and babysit a lot throughout the years, sometimes at the same time. Mostly for close friends and family and it's always been very rewarding and fulfilling for me to do. My mission is to look after my clients pets as if they were my own and provide a sense of ease to pet parents while they're in my care. I've recently gone back to college and looking to work part time hours as a dog walker or pet sitter to help me get by. My classes are currently online, and I'm able to which allows for some flexibility in my weekly schedule. I like to ask pet parents to provide me with a written breakdown of everything they would want me to know about they're pet in order to care for them properly. Such as the pets temperament around other pets/animals or if there's any special accomodations needed.
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!!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Montclair on Rover is $22.2 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 14,822 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Montclair. 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 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.
