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 !
“Diana took care of our elderly dog for 6 days, coming twice a day to cuddle, feed, and walk our dog. She gave us regular updates and sent us photos of our dog. When we got home, we could tell that our dog had been well cared for. Would definitely recommend Diana to care for your pet.”
“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!”
“Bonnie was recommended to us by a friend, and I would also recommend her! She was flexible, communicated well, and made my pet feel special. My shy cat warmed up to her within 3 visits. I would definitely use her services again!”
About: I’ve always loved animals, dogs and cats, and have always wanted my own, so I’d love to help take care of your pet as if they were my own! Some of my previous job responsibilities include teaching and taking care of children, being a Programs and Events Coordinator at a Retirement home in San Francisco, and I have helped take care of a friend and her German Shepherd dog after a surgery. I am resourceful, kind, and family oriented. I currently live in the Ontario, CA area, but am from the Coachella Valley. I’m currently in classes in Redlands during the day, so I am available in the early mornings, and late afternoons and evenings and weekends to walk your dogs. I will make sure your pets are well taken care of with food, walking, play, and attention. I plan to create a relationship built on trust with your pet and your family,
“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: Currently have 2 dogs -Raised my French Bulldog by myself since he was 4 weeks -Been raised with dogs all my life -Experience with Small and Large Dogs, babies- seniors I am currently working part time so schedule may vary. However, I will work with you to make sure your pup gets the care they need! I am available 3 days a week, but again those days vary. I have experience with young-senior dogs so I am familiar with each of their needs. I also have a dog with allergies so I am familiar with special diets, medication, etc.
About: Hi! My name is Valentina, I’ve been walking dogs for three years now in New York City with another app. I recently moved to California for Veterinary School and it will be my first time working with Rover! I’ve volunteered at dog shelters where I was in charge of walking and feeding them and also administered medications when needed. In New York I had the opportunity to walk over 150 dogs as a part time job while I was also working as a vet assistant in a clinic where we were fear free certified so I take it very seriously to establish a fear free and trusted bond with each animal. I’m really patient with animals and always make sure that they’re having a good time during their walks because it’s not just a walk for them. It’s their opportunity to explore and have some enrichment time! I speak English, Spanish and French so I do my best to establish a clear and transparent communication with every owner about their expectations and requirements of each pet! I currently don’t have any pets here in California so I’m always thrilled to get to spend some time with other pets through these job! I hope I can be a good fit for your furry friend! I’m currently in veterinary school so my availability is mostly during the weekends or afternoons after 5pm. But during the summer I’m open to any other day! I always make sure to communicate as much as possible with the owners. I like to provide a clear picture of how the walk/ sitting is going and to make sure they can feel as close as possible to their pets while they are not with them. I like to let owners know when we are about to leave and then during a pause send them a picture during the walk but I would usually put my phone away until we go back just to be fully present during the walk. I always make sure they have clean water before I leave and to leave them with a treat or toy while I’m leaving just for positive reinforcement!
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 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.
“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!”
“We are so happy to have April take care of Lefty because she genuinely loves dogs from what we experienced. She helped us so much when we went on vacation when one of us came down with covid and could not fly until my husbands was not contagious. April was so understanding about this.”
“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!”
“Amanda was the best! She was communicative and so kind! Your animal babies and homes are in great hands with her. This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t recommend Amanda enough! She gave my kitty the best care and love while I was away. She’s amazing.”
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 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!

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.
Diana made our first experience with Rover incredibly smooth. She was kind enough to meet with us and our 2 kitties before booking and it was a perfect match! They absolutely adored her—we will definitely be reaching out again in the future. If you want a trustworthy, warm, professional sitter who goes above and beyond, Diana is your girl!!
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

- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
