“Teresa was absolutely wonderful with Max. She kept us updated regularly and sent plenty of sweet photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. This was our first time ever leaving Max with a sitter, and it wasn’t easy—he’s our sweet 17.5-year-old boy and can’t travel with us anymore. I missed him dearly, but knowing he was in such loving and capable hands made all the difference. We’re so grateful to have found Teresa!”
“Briana took care of our dog Happy for 9 days while we were on vacation. She did an amazing job, and we could tell that she and Happy had formed a nice bond. She was very responsive to our texts. We received photos every day of them playing, going on walks, and relaxing together. We did a video call as well to check in. Happy was very comfortable, and enjoyed her time under Brianna's care. We'll definitely hire Brianna again in the future.”
“John was very tentative to our dog . We loved his positive energy . We can tell he's a true animal lover . He was so easy going and flexible when we had to change our drop off off time last minute . Love how him and his son made our dog feel loved :) Photos were adorable of her he sent ! Thanks so much :)”
“Maisha was EXCELLENT! This was the first time I ever left my dog with someone and she made me feel SO much at ease. She’s so professional and sweet. Maisha is a natural with your fur babies. If you need a dog sitter she is your person. I am already booking her again to stay with my fue baby for my next vacation. Maisha is the best! -Cheryl”
“Ridge had a great time with Tracy and Steve. They truly enjoy hosting dogs and keep them. They sent pictures on a regular basis and stayed in touch. We will definitely be bringing Ridge back.”
“Geoff and Jenny took great care of our dog. They have a great location with fenced yard and are very responsive. Great updates on our dog stay with them. Looked like he was part of their family during the say :)”
About: My loving pet sitting services comes with long walks, access to my fenced in back yard, and endless cuddles and play time with my family (including 3 kids ages 10, 10, 13). I can set up gates to restrict access if needed but I generally give dogs full run of my first floor, including sofas, so I generally limit day care and overnights to fully potty-trained dogs with zero aggression. I don't accept dogs from multiples homes in 1 stay but am open to more than 1 dog from the same home coming together. I work from home and my kids walk themselves to school and sports, so I'm very flexible to take your dog out to the backyard as often as needed, and we can also do several short walks and/or a longer walk, depending on what they like. With play time and cuddles thrown in throughout the day, of course! I have a 6' high fenced in back yard, however we do have the occasional rabbit or ground hog digging under the fence, so we can do a perimeter check before letting small dogs run free, or I can keep them leashed for potty breaks. It's totally up to you if you want them to run around freely or not, but we are always out there supervising.
“Orso had a wonderful time with Caitlin and Georgia! Usually when we pick him up from a sitter he jumps right into our car but this time he tried to go back in with Caitlin. She took exceptional care of him, ensuring he got exercise, was well fed, brushed, played and stayed cool. We feel very comfortable knowing our boy will be in good hands when we go away later this summer!”
“Christina and Nick were great with Ollie. They updated us with photos regularly and felt very comfortable with Ollie being there. They also graciously did a meet and greet beforehand as Ollie can be selective with new people. Definitely will be booking again!”
“As always, Nahla had a great time with her host family Tammy & Tony. She always gets lots of love and attention during her stay. She enjoys the time she spends and I would not leave her with anyone else. Can't Thank ThemEnough, Lenya”
“Moonyoung and Sunhuyung were fantastic! They were very responsive and I was able to set up a meet and greet with them before booking. Communication was great and I received daily updates from them with lots of pictures. Brody was comfortable with them right away and adjusted to his normal routine from the get go. Would definitely recommend them and use them again.”
“Just picked my dog up after his first stay at Val’s house, and I couldn’t be happier. Val sent updates and pictures each day, which clearly demonstrated how happy and comfortable he was with her. I don’t even think he wanted to leave!! She was amazing, and my dog has already requested another stay soon!”
“Lindsey and her family were great. They took amazing care of Rocky and updated my family daily with pictures and how he is doing. Rocky seemed to have enjoyed his staycation with them and appeared sad leaving them. Will definitely rebook with them with further dog sitting needs.”
“Jenny was great, patience, kind and communicative. She sent pictures and replied to our messages. Most importantly she was sweet to our fearful dog Tessa and made her feel safe. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Darrin, Debra, and Emily cared for our most precious treasure Benjamin with much love, attention to detail, and dedication. We are very grateful for their professionalism, and for the good treatment that our English Bulldog received during this stay at their home. We recommend and will request your services again in the future.”
“Amanda was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond in every way. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was immediately obvious that she truly loves dogs and genuinely enjoys spending time with them — this is not just a job for her, but something she clearly does with care and heart. Norman was in great hands, and we felt completely comfortable knowing Amanda was looking after him. She was thoughtful, responsible, warm, and attentive, and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. We would highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog.”

Our Yoshi is a young and social mini schnauzer, and he had a great time making friends under Yuberkis’s care! This was our first time leaving him and we received photos everyday of our happy little guy. Thank you Yuberkis for giving him a safe place to be a little goof!
Leaving our dog for the first time was stressful- but the moment we met Manuel our concerns melted away. He is calm, confident and earned the trust of not only my husband and I, but our dog as well, almost instantly. Manuel was quick to respond to messages, sent photos while our dog was in his care and made us feel at ease. We are so grateful to have found someone who gave our pup love while we were traveling. Our dog didn’t want to leave him! We will def use Manuel again to watch our beloved family member!
This was our second time leaving Nipsey & Rosie with Lindsey, and once again, she was absolutely amazing! Lindsey and her family take such wonderful care of our dogs and treat them with so much love and attention. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands while we’re away. We’re truly so thankful we found Lindsey and couldn’t recommend her enough! Nipsey & Rosie are always so happy and well cared for when they’re with her.
Molly was amazing! She was super communicative before and during our dog’s stay. He got plenty of exercise and play and snuggles. It was such a relief knowing he was getting such great care while we were away. I’d absolutely recommend Molly and will definitely book again in the future!
If I could give 10 stars I would. She was incredibly caring, communicative, and kept me updated throughout the stay with tons of pictures, which gave me such peace of mind as I’ve only ever let Henry stay with my parents. It was clear how much love and attention she gave Henry. I give her my highest recommendation and will absolutely book with her again! 🐾❤️
She took such great care of my boy! ❤️ From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was comfortable and well cared for. She kept me updated throughout his entire stay and sent me pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to truly relax knowing he was in good hands. 🐾💕 It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does and treated him like one of her own. He came home happy, comfortable, and clearly enjoyed his time with her. I’m so grateful and would absolutely trust her with him again. We definitely found our dog’s new bestie! 🐶💗
The best boarding I’ve had thus far! I was super emotional leaving my little guy behind for 9 nights but Darien immediately sent me videos and pictures and made me feel like I could trust her. 10/10 service, Darien and her family went above and beyond when it came to my frenchie baby. The bath before pickup was also amazing, icing on the cake! I will definitely be using her services again.
Bell was wonderful and I appreciate her accepting my last minute request to watch my separation anxiety prone Chihuahua/Yorky mix. She sent me several pictures and kept me updated throughout the stay. She was able to keep my pup calm and happy while I was working. I highly recommend and would use again!
Blanca was a wonderful caretaker for our 2 year old Havanese! We are a bit particular with instructions, and she followed them to make sure Sonny felt at home. She only takes 1 dog at a time (plus her own sweet dog),so her house is orderly and clean. Her backyard play area is fenced in which gives the dogs ample room to play. I highly recommend!
Moonyoung and Sunhyung took such wonderful care of our dog Nova. From the very begining, they were thoughful, kind and caring. They asked all the right questions and really took the time to understand Nova's needs and personality. They provided daily updates on how Nova was doing along with a few pictures! It was clear they genuienly cared about her and treated her like their own. I highly recommend them and will definitely call on them again to care for our girl!
Our family had an amazing experience with Gisselle! From the moment we booked, she went above and beyond to make sure both we and our dogs felt comfortable. She kept us updated throughout their stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. The best part was seeing how genuinely happy our dogs were. They absolutely adored Gisselle, and they had such a great time with her sweet dog too! It was clear they were treated like part of the family, receiving plenty of love, attention, and care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and truly passionate about animals, we can’t recommend Gisselle enough. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Montclair on Rover is $48.88 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 13,906 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Montclair. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Montclair sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Montclair landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Montclair home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Montclair.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Montclair sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
