“Jonathan has been a great drop-in sitter for my cat Mocha! It’s clear that he genuinely cares about animals, and I’ll definitely be booking him again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Eva was wonderful and took excellent care of my cats. She kept in contact with me, including sending photos. I didn’t worry at all and will definitely use her again in the future. Highly recommend!!”
“Jonny did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats for a few days! There were no issues while we were gone and he kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. Jonny’s calm demeanor provided enough safety for even our shyest cat to come out and interact with him! Would definitely book again!”
About: I have been an animal lover all of my life. I grew up with cats, caring for my beloved Walter until he passed at 20 years old. I have since had the pleasure of my own Lab (now 10) as well as experience in Doggy Day Care where I was playroom manager and responsible for dogs anywhere from 1-20 in one playroom at a time(room combo of an average of 45-55 dogs in the whole building split between rooms and size).I am looking forward to more one on one relationships with families and their pets. I am looking forward to a career as a Vet Technician, and plan to take classes in the Fall. At the moment, I am wide open to spend time with local pets as I prepare to return to school. My plan come Fall will be part time classes and more time animals. Pet care will be my priority in my weekly routine. I always spend time in advance with the fur babies to get to know them and importantly, discuss the pet parents' needs. Do they need special food? Special training at meals for over excited pups? How much do they like to play/walk? Do they like to interact with other pets or prefer to stay one on one with me? I am also extremely responsible in the homes of pet parents, cleaning up after the babies as well as making sure the home is secure.
“My pups ??(and Furby?) and I had a wonderful visit with Stefanie yesterday. We were all really happy! Such a blessing to have this opportunity to work Stefanie again in the future! Thank you so much! :)”
“Katie and Zayn were great! This was a last minute trip and we needed someone to watch our 2 cats, they did it no problem. Excellent communication and came back to two happy cats!”
“Cassie did a wonderful job caring for my two Persian cats for the week I was out of the country. I enjoyed meeting her initially because I could see she was conscientious and friendly. My cats loved her visits since she played with them and let my cat sit on her lap (which is her favorite thing to do). I appreciated that she took the time to check on the upstairs water bowl and keep the litter box clean. Everything was in order when I returned and I was grateful that Cassie brought in a package that was delivered. Cassie is an excellent sitter that you can trust with your pets.”
“Michael was fantastic! Very responsive and I got lots of great pictures while I was gone. My cats looked like they were having a great time playing. Everything was great when I got back and they were so well cared for! Will definitely book Michael again!”
“Nicole is so patient, kind, and friendly. My pets are all older and I could immediately see upon meeting her that she would be the best fit. My apartment was tidy and the dishes she used were washed and on the counter. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I highly recommend Nicole!”
About: 📝 About me: Hi! I’m Caitlin, a full-time educator and experienced dog owner and foster based in downtown Montclair. I’ve spent many years caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments — both personally and through rescue work. I regularly foster and have hands-on experience with: 🐾 Puppies and senior dogs 🐾 Frenchies, Boxers, German Shepherds, Shiba Inus, and more 🐾 Medically fragile dogs (including IVDD, allergies, and gastrointestinal needs) 🐾 Medication administration 🐾 Leash reactivity and behavioral needs I understand that every dog is different, and I take a calm, structured approach to help them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. While I’m new to Rover, I bring over a decade of hands-on experience with dog ownership and fostering, including medically complex and behaviorally sensitive dogs. I maintain relationships with many of my fosters’ adoptive families and often pet sit for them when they travel. I’m happy to provide references upon request. 🏡 Your dog will be treated like part of the family in a clean, safe, and supervised home: -Supervised care (I have cameras in my apartment for added safety when I’m away from home) -Multiple daily walks + enrichment opportunities -Clean, comfortable indoor environment (dogs have access to all furniture and fluffy surfaces) -Consistent routines to reduce stress -Plenty of updates, photos, and communication My dog, Georgia, is friendly, social, and enjoys the company of other dogs. I always prioritize safe, appropriate introductions to ensure a good fit. 💊 Special skills: -Medication administration (oral, topical, etc.) -Experience with IVDD and mobility considerations (I have ramps for furniture) -Allergy-sensitive care (diet/environment awareness, bathing, ear care, etc.) -Handling anxious or leash reactive dogs -Rescue/foster transition support 📅 Availability: -Weekends… boarding, walks, and drop-ins -August… full availability for boarding and extended stays I work full-time outside of the home, but maintain a consistent routine with my dog, Georgia, including hour-long walks each morning and evening. During the day, she is cared for by a long-time, trusted dog walker. On weekends, I love taking her on hikes, beach trips, and other outdoor adventures. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding on weekends and during school holidays. I’m also off for the entire month of August, when I can accommodate longer stays and provide more flexible, full-time care. Safety is always my top priority. I provide a calm, structured environment and closely supervise all dogs in my care. My home is dog-friendly, and I’m mindful about introductions, routines, and each dog’s individual needs. I have extensive experience with a wide range of dogs, including puppies, seniors, medically fragile dogs, and those with leash reactivity or special dietary needs. I’m comfortable administering medications and managing allergies. For boarding, I do not leave dogs unattended for long periods, and I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. I also have cameras in my home for added peace of mind.
“Tom showed up on time and quickly got acquainted with our doggies. Doggies warmed up to him quickly. He spent some time with them as we will need him for future visits. He seems to be truly caring for furry friends.”
“I recently rescued a dog and decided to try Rover for the first time. I found Kyra, and she was fantastic! She walked and spent time with my dog, sharing plenty of photos along the way. It was a great experience, and I felt confident my dog was in good hands. I would definitely book with Kyra again!!”
“My cat Huckleberry LOVES Jenette. It may sound like a small thing but if you don’t provide compelling playtime, he won’t give you the time of day. Jenette really puts in the work with him and he has a great time with her. Can’t say enough good things. Jenette is the BEST!”
“Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.”
“Elissa was great. She was friendly and asked a lot of questions during the meet and greet. During the drop in, she gave the pups good playtime outdoors and they ate well. Arya and Yoshi had no signs of stress when we arrived home.”
“Angie did a great job of taking care of our cats while my fiancé and I were on vacation. She followed our more in depth instructions with the food to a tee and did a great job making sure all the litter boxes were cleaned daily. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I have always been involved in pet care in my home for over 15 years. I have had experience with elderly dogs and cats of my own. I have pet-sitted in my neighborhood for puppies and for breeds different from my own dogs. I will use my energy to play with your pet and hopefully decrease their energy. I have a very flexible schedule since graduating college and applying to graduate school nearby. I have lots of time and availability for stop-ins during the day or bringing study materials to a client’s home. My yard is fenced in and I can take dogs for a walk in Brookdale Park nearby. I will administer medicine and play with dogs and provide them with a cuddly environment.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Montclair is $25

Jade was exceptional! Her communication and photos the whole time were perfect and she bonded so well with my cat. I would absolutely work with Jade again the next time I need a cat sitter. She asked questions and got to know my cat and her habits during our meet and greet and followed all instructions we left perfectly!
Nicole is so patient, kind, and friendly. My pets are all older and I could immediately see upon meeting her that she would be the best fit. My apartment was tidy and the dishes she used were washed and on the counter. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I highly recommend Nicole!
Melissa took wonderful care of my cat, Tia! She was reliable, communicative, and sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout my trip, which gave me great peace of mind. Tia was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I got home. I highly recommend Melissa and will definitely book with her again!
Tirzah did an exceptional job taking care of my kitties. McLovin connected with her instantly, and she always played with him which he loves. Ms. Vanjie takes more time to get close to new people but Tirzah was patient and gave Vanj the space to come out and play when she was ready. I felt really good on my trip knowing our babies were safe and in good hands
Jamie-Ann was absolutely wonderful! definitely went above and beyond to make my kitties feel comfortable and loved- knowing she is such a kind warm hearted young lady- I felt relieved that I found her! My cats were happy to see us, and I could tell they were well taken care of and loved by Jamie-Ann- She was a perfect fit for our family and I can’t thank her enough for the photos and the sense of calm I felt while on vacation. thank you so very much Jamie-Ann and Rover, highly recommend her! Julie
Tracy and Steven were awesome—our pets were clearly in great hands. They really took the time to bond with them, playing with our dog and giving lots of attention and cuddles to our cats. They showed up three times a day like clockwork and even grabbed a couple packages from the front door, which we really appreciated. The updates and photos after each visit were thoughtful and reassuring. It made a big difference not having to worry about our animal children while we were away. We’d definitely book them again.
I was very happy with Jenny as my cat sitter. She was very thorough with feeding the kitties and took a lot of time to brush Sweetheart and give her lots of attention. Shadow even came out a few times, something she rarely does. Jenny did a great job keeping the litter pan clean and throwing away the garbage. She also brought my mail in. I received a nice note daily as well as several photos. I would recommend her highly.
Jonny did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats for a few days! There were no issues while we were gone and he kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. Jonny’s calm demeanor provided enough safety for even our shyest cat to come out and interact with him! Would definitely book again!

Kaitlin went truly above and beyond for us. During this visit she wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t drive, yet instead of canceling, she arranged for a family member to bring her so our cats would still be cared for. We were incredibly grateful for the extra effort and thoughtfulness she showed. Kaitlin has demonstrated her dedication and commitment time and again, and we feel very lucky to have her caring for our cats. We trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Montclair on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 12,015 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Montclair. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
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
- 92% 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.
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.
