“Alison was so amazing with my 2 cats especially my shy boy who never comes out for anyone but made a few special appearances with her. You can tell she has a gentle loving soul”
“Caitlin is wonderful, bright, cheery, and great with my Selina (2 year old, bougie kitty). Selina takes a while to warm up to someone new, so I asked Caitlin to do 30 minute drop-ins while I was away for Labor Day weekend. By the time I returned Selina was giving up the tummy to Caitlin for belly rubs. :) We are ready for my 2 weeks in India now. Caitlin is excellent with the daily communication and pics, and was even concerned to take my trash out worried about the possible smell from the litter scoopings. I was worried about finding a solid replacement for my previous cat sitter. I am worried no more. Thanks, Caitlin!”
About: I’m a dog mom to 3 sweethearts: Sherlock (15-lb Shih Tzu rescue), Jessie (55-lb American pitbull rescue) and Sasha (40-lb mixed terrier rescue). They all are very reactive to different triggers (people, other dogs, cats, squirrels/wildlife, etc.), and they’ve taught me how to be a better parent. Puppo (18-lb Maltipoo), our 15-year old senior dog, crossed the rainbow bridge in August 2025. Taking care of Puppo for 2 years was a transformative experience - he even taught me how to age with dignity and grace. I work a full-time hybrid job (2 days remote) and Saturday (10:30-1pm), but my calendar will be as up-to-date as possible! I take your pets’ safety very seriously, and will ask questions during our meet-and-greets to ensure their safety under my care. Additionally, I’ll take pictures during walks and cuddles/playtime, and be as communicative as possible. As a dog mom who has used Rover many times, I understand what many parents need!
“Michael did an amazing job of taking care of our three cats while we were away. He provided us with pictures daily and also communicated with us each day . Two of our cats are very nervous around new people and within the first couple of days, Michael was able to pet them so I know they felt comfortable with him. I would highly recommend Michael if you are looking for someone to care for your pet while you are away.”
“Cassie was great with our kitty. She made sure she was well taken care of and spent time playing with her while we were away for a few days. I recommend Cassie as a cat sitter. Thanks !!”
“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!!”
“Hira and her husband took wonderful care of our cats Chloe and Athena. You can tell they genuinely care about your pet’s well being. We will definitely be using them again if we need a sitter…”
“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!”
“Thanks Jonathan for looking after our cat Maisie for a week at relatively short notice. She was very content when we returned and am happy to recommend your cat sitting services”
“Jenette was wonderful, my cats loved her. She stayed with them for two weeks while I was in Europe and I couldn’t be happier with her service. I would highly recommend to anyone.”
“Stef, as always did an amazing job caring for our pets. She usually watches our energized pup but this time watched our quiet elusive cat. Stef kept up with food, water, litter box and played with our Harper (when she was willing to come out). We also appreciated that she noticed a lamp running too hot and turning it off, or turning on AC for our cat on a hotter day. We always know we can rest easy when Stef is caring for our pets.”
“My first time using Rover and I was not disappointed. Cole was fabulous! Every morning and evening I received a quick note about each visit and pictures which showed how comfortable my cats were becoming with Cole. Cole quickly learned my cat’s personalities and he took wonderful care of them. Will Definitely book Cole in the future.”
“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!”
“I recently hired Annie to take care of my fur baby while I was away, and I couldn't be happier with the service. Annie was incredibly professional, caring, and attentive to my cat's needs. Not only did she make sure my cat was fed and had a clean litter, but they also spent quality time with him, playing and giving him the affection he needed. I received regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Annie to anyone in need of reliable and loving care for their feline friends. I will definitely rebook Annie next time I go away.”
“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.”

We will work together on any appointments and you will be informed up front if our schedules don’t coincide. I have a very flexible schedule and am sure I will be able to accommodate you.

This was the first time Krystie took care of our two cats and I am so happy we found her. She came for a meet & greet to get to know the cats and their routine before we left. She took great care of our two boys and they seemed to have bonded quickly with her. She engaged them in play and cuddles and left everything very neat and clean. We will definitely book with her again. Thank you 💖
Jonny was a lifesaver and helped with my cat, Bonnie, who’s suffering from terminal cancer. He’s gentle, kind, and highly reliable. As Bonnie deals with her daily hardships, Jonny’s calm and considerate energy helped her stay calm during medicine time, which was really appreciated. Highly recommend him!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ She went above and beyond caring for my two cats! She came to my home twice a day and was incredibly attentive, reliable, and thoughtful. She sent me pictures and updates during every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cats seemed very comfortable and happy with her, and she even cleaned up after them and left everything nice and tidy. I truly appreciated how much care and attention she gave them. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. I will definitely be booking her again! 🐾💕
Another fantastic experience with Thomas! He’s detail oriented, conscientious, and friendly. He spent quality time with our cats, and provided us regular updates about how they were doing. Even our youngest (and most timid) cat is warming up to him. Thanks again Thomas!
Siara did an amazing job looking after our 2 cats for a week. On top of the usual (food, water, litter), she made sure to spend some time with cats and do what they wanted to do, be that brushing, playing, petting, or anything in between. She even got our very shy girl to warm up to her in just a couple of days! She was also super thoughtful and flagged an issue with automatic feeder that we missed and helped us ensure our cats were getting their meals dispensed on time. She also provides detailed reports and tons of pictures, and is great at prompt and timely communication. We hate leaving our cats home alone, but with Siara we felt they were well taken care of and would definitely book Siara again in the future!
My first time using Rover and I was not disappointed. Cole was fabulous! Every morning and evening I received a quick note about each visit and pictures which showed how comfortable my cats were becoming with Cole. Cole quickly learned my cat’s personalities and he took wonderful care of them. Will Definitely book Cole in the future.
Katie did an absolutely amazing job with our three kitties for a seven day trip. She sent us regular updates and followed all of the information we gave her! No issues when we returned home, and we would absolutely book her again when we take a trip out of town!
This is my second booking with Nicole. I was out of town for 5 days and I felt completely relaxed and without a worry because Nicole was watching my pets. I highly recommend hiring Nicole - she is kind, patient, caring, professional, and just an overall great person!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Montclair on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 12,534 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

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.
