About: Grew up with different dog breeds of different sizes. I currently have a German Shepard mix with Belgian Malinois in my household. Majority of our dogs have been adopted from the shelter. I have attended a beginners dog training for a dog of my own that is a German Shepard mix with Belgian Malinois. I cared in the past for another fur baby (Yorkshire Terrier) who was on the older side and disabled. Our fur babies need exercise, care, love and fun & therefore I am here to help! I will make sure to stay on your preferred routine that way your pup has lots of fun playing, stays well fed and hydrated, & receives extra love during your time apart. I am happy to work with you on your dog’s needs to keep your pup happy, safe and healthy. I’m currently have a flexible schedule and this allows me to have extra time in the day to care for and have fun with your fur babies. I have a private fenced front yard and along with a gated back yard. I also have a friendly and calm dog that will provide your pup with company too. I also have crates and extra dog bowls at home if needed.

“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!”
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 !

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.
“First time using Rover trusting and feeling comfortable having someone watch my pup. Lily is the sweetest and most kind sitter. She was great from initial contact. My dog even liked her enough to give her kisses from the start even though he has massive separation anxiety. She kept updates and communication very well. She took him potty played with him and took him on a short walk. I totally trust her and highly recommend and will be using her again in the future.”
“Laura made every effort possible to get my very shy cat to come out from hybernation until he actually came out! I am happy I placed my trust in her capable hands.”

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.

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.

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.
