“On my second time bringing my pup, as always she did such an amazing job caring for him & kept me updated on the status of his ongoing food allergy that I needed help monitoring while away. Highly recommend her!”
“Our dog Happy had a great stay with Brianna. It was the first time we ever boarded our dog, so we were nervous at first, but Brianna was very welcoming and our dog warmed up to her quickly. This was our quick test to make sure our dog (and we) could handle the separation for a short period of time, as a bridge to boarding her for a longer stretch of time. Our dog passed due to Brianna's hospitality, so we are much more comfortable boarding her for a longer stay with Brianna very soon! Thanks so much, Brianna and family!”
“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“Teresa is so sweet and kind. You can tell she really loves animals. Kuma had a great time with her and he’s someone that takes a while to warm up other people. It probably helped that her own dogs are so welcoming as well. I highly recommend.”
“Heather and her family were so sweet with my Buzz! I’ve had the same dog sitter for years, so I was nervous when I suddenly needed to find someone new. From the start, they were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive with him, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to truly enjoy my trip. They also have an amazing backyard where Buzz could run around, play, and make himself at home. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Heather and will absolutely be using her again!”
“Roman loves staying with Caitlin and we love when he stays there too! Caitlin always communicates and sends updates and we can tell she truly cares for and loves our dog. Roman always comes back happy and content after playing with the resident dog :) we will continue to book with Caitlin for future needs!”
“I can’t express how amazing my dog’s stay was with Maisha. I literally won’t book with anyone else! She sent photos and video and was incredibly responsive. My dog had a blast during his stay. I will book again and you should too if you’re reading this!”
“This is the second time I have left my baby in the care of Tracy (and Steve). They are amazing with him! And their updates and photos/videos let me see how happy he is! Wonderful caretakers of my precious boy ♥️”
“Laura and Daniel went above and beyond in making sure my kitten had a great stay. I’m a new cat mom and was nervous to leave him behind but I felt at ease and they made sure to send updates throughout his stay. Very accommodating of schedule too. I would highly recommend them!”
“Amanda was so amazing with our scaredy cat who had never stayed away from our house before! She was incredibly patient with our kitty, made her feel safe and comfortable in new surroundings, and kept me updated to ease my mind. So grateful for Amanda treating our kitty like her own!”
“Amanda is awesome! You can tell she really loves and cares for the dogs she looks after. She is always sending pictures and updates about how boogie is doing and we 100% trust her to take amazing care of our dog. We are both so happy we found such a great dog sitter”
“This was the FIRST time I was able to leave my dogs anywhere and actually not worry or stress about how things may be going. Everything from the house space to the family, it’s all just perfect! And I’m extremely picky! So ya just a great experience in every way. I wish all sitters were like this one. Definitely recommend her and I would gladly pay even more than she charges. Totally worth the peace of mind. 10 stars!!”
“Marcy was the best at taking care of my dog when I was out of the state, She is professional and showed love for our dog baby. My Jordan has not been in better hands.. 100 % percent recommend..”
“Christina and Nick provided a calm, loving environment for Ziggy. Christina sent daily updates and pictures, and there was no doubt in my mind that Ziggy was being well taken care of. That peace of mind was so appreciated during our time away.”
“Molly, her husband, and her kids took such good care of my dog Lucy. I’ve genuinely never seen her happier than in the pictures she sent me. Thank you so much and I can’t wait to drop Lucy off with you again next trip!!”
“Suko was very well taken care of during the winter storm while we went on vacation! Val sent pictures and updates daily, leaving us confident Suko was in good hands. He was a super happy pup when we returned, thanks for taking such good care of him!”
“Here's a shorter version: --- I recently booked Angela for two nights, and I'm thrilled with the care my dog received. Angela provided regular updates with photos and videos, ensuring my peace of mind. My shy dog quickly warmed up to them, and all his dietary and exercise needs were perfectly met. I came home to a happy pup and a tidy house. Highly recommend Angela for reliable and loving pet care.”
About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.

Heather and her family were terrific sitters for our mini schnauzer. They provided lots of love and great care. We received pictures and updates daily. As our plans changed unexpectedly, they were very flexible in accommodating us. We would absolutely use Heather again and highly recommend her.
Pooja watched our dog Pepper for the weekend and she was amazing! She was a great communicator, consistently sharing updates and photos which was very much appreciated. She followed all our requests and we can tell Pepper really enjoyed spending time with her. Pepper can't wait for his next visit!
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! 🐾❤️
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!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Montclair can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
