“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).”
“Megan was great! We were leaving our cat for the longest we ever had and she provided peace of mind that he was ok. Megan was extremely communicative, responsive and kind. Would definitely book again!”
About: I am a current veterinary student at Western University. I have 4+ years of experience in the veterinary field already, and am well versed in a wide range of responsibilities that your pets might need! As a vet student, I have a good amount of time in between classes to take care of your fur babies. I look forward to seeing pets during my days. I can care for your pets and read their body language well. On walks or in the backyard, I will be attentive to your animals needs and wants.
“Veronica is great with both dogs and cats! We had her do several drop-ins to take care of our cat while we were out of town. Our cat is normally really shy, but warmed up to her very fast. She also met our two dogs. One of them typically barks profusely while meeting new people, but Veronica is one of the only people she's ever met that she immediately liked. Veronica was also reliable about stopping by at the agreed times, and was available at short notice. Would recommend her to anyone with dog or cat needs!”

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).

About: I can't say that I am better than other sitters, but what I can say about myself is that I have patience with dogs. I have experience caring for dogs of all weights and sizes. I also have a pretty good knowledge of most breeds and what requirements some dogs have. You can feel comfortable knowing that your companion will be in great care while you are away. I am currently open to new clients and to help ease the tension and stress of planning your next visit. With most sitters and walkers unable to fit you into their schedule, I will do my best to make myself available to you. I will work on building a routine for your companion filing their day with a fun and play. While you are away you can be assured your companion will be in safe hands and your home will be too!

I am also happy to play and provide exercise as often as they like. I cannot currently offer my own home for sitting, but will always be respectful of yours.
“Kellar was very thoughtful and caring for our three cats! From playing with them, bringing another toy, to learning about their specific needs. Kellar also made sure our home was safe and clean for them too. Would highly recommend Kellar's services and care for your future needs!”
“This is my second time having Kat for drop-ins while I was away. It's never easy leaving the dogs behind, but Kat made sure my dogs were well cared for. The first time around, Kat came over before the initial dates to have a meet a greet with the dogs which was absolutely fantastic; no one else had done that before. It also gave me peace of mind as I got to meet her as well. She fed my dogs and played with them during the allotted time. My dogs were always happy and well cared for when I returned from my trip. Also, my dogs have a doggy door so they have access to go potty when they need to. Kat went above and beyond and even cleaned up after the dogs outside. I wouldn't hesitate to book her over and over again as long as she is on Rover!”
About: I have had my yorkie for 10+ yrs. and have dog sat friends fur babies. I love dogs and they are treated better than family. I work full time but only work about 15 min away from my house and I have a dog of my own who gets walks in the morning mid-day and evening. Pets also have free range of my home. Pets in my home have free range to the whole house we have a yard but it is not fenced in but we do take them out on walks and play with them, we also love to cuddle with them and give them all the love they want. My dog eats throughout the day but we stick to other dogs' feeding schedule. If the pet is in their own home I make sure they follow the rules they're used to.
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).

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 pet sit for cats and dogs in my neighborhood from 10-17 that ranged from all sizes and ages. Since being in college, I have walked many of my professors dogs free of charge—I just love dogs! I believe the greatest thing you can feel is the love from a pet. I am punctual, a great communicator, and will prioritize your pets needs. I am a full time student with a flexible schedule that allows me to make time to walk or visit your pets! I have a car which makes it easier to get to your pet:) I am in a dorm but my college has plenty of outdoor space perfect for walks! In your home I will stick to your pets routine as much as possible to limit their anxiety as well as your anxiety. If your pet enjoys dog parks and interacting with other dogs, I feel comfortable bringing them to the park. I do have a cat at home in Washington State but he doesn’t live with me in Claremont (clarifying that it says I have one cat on my profile).

Diana has been so amazing in taking care of all my furbabies. I take care of my elderly grandparents and having her help in making sure my dogs and cats are taken care of as well has been such a huge relieve. Especially on days where I’m gone for a long stretch of time. It’s one less thing I’m worried about and allows me to focus on my grandparents when they are booked all day for multiple appointments.
Christine is a gem! She went above and beyond to care for our cats while my husband and I were on vacation. She kept us informed and sent photos each visit, giving us ease of mind while away. She even took the liberty of grabbing us litter while away. Our fur babies and I highly recommend Christine! She's attentive, reliable, and friendly.
Ursula made sure my girls were taken care of to the highest level. She is a cat whisperer, getting even my most standoffish cat’s affection! It felt like I was entrusting my kitties to a close family friend with how nice and friendly Ursula is. She made sure to clean everything up down to the cat dishes and mats, and made sure the girls had a clean environment. She also made sure to tire out my more social kitty and brushed/played with them until they knocked out! She also sends a lot of photos and updates so you always know what is going on with your kitties. I would 100% recommend booking Ursula for your babies and I will be rebooking again! Thank you soooo much again!
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.
Lily cared for our cat Spirit while we were away on our honeymoon and did a fantastic job, she was able to give her medicine, take care of her food water and littler all while giving her all the attention she needed! We will absolutely have her again in the future. Definitely recommend!
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!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Montclair is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $6 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have 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 are 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 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
