“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 :)”
“We were happy to have found Tracy and Steven on Rover. They were good communicators and shared fun updates while they took care of our dog. If your dog is playful and enjoys time with other dogs, this is good choice for your dog.”
“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!”
“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 :)”
“Amanda was very communicative and took great care of my dog for a long weekend! I got regular updates, and he seemed to get along well with Amanda’s dog too. I would happily leave my dog with her again.”
“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.”
“Our dog Sig stayed with Darien for three nights, and we were very impressed! Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated throughout the day with lots of photos of Sig’s activities. On top of that, she is a certified groomer, and as a courtesy for his first stay, she returned Sig freshly bathed and wearing an adorable bandana. Sig seemed very happy and well taken care of during his time with her. We are extremely satisfied and would absolutely recommend her dog sitting services!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Eunice. She took such great care of our dog and made sure he felt safe, comfortable, and loved throughout the stay. It was clear from the updates and photos that our dog was happy and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and we really appreciated the kindness, attention, and genuine affection she showed. It was such a relief to know our dog was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Eunice again and highly recommend them her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“Tammy and Tony took great care of Yuki (Great Pyrenees). She spent 4 nights with them, and came home happy. (I think they even brushed her quite a bit--it is the spring shedding season--she came home looking more tidy when she left!) They understand the dog's needs so well. Fully confident leaving our four-legged family member with them!”
“Diamond took excellent care of Taz. She communicated the entire time, sent me pictures. Taz looked like he enjoyed hisself and he didn’t show any signs of severe anxiety when I picked him up. Thank you so much Diamond!!”
“I can't say enough about how amazing Suely (and her family!) is with my petite golden doodle Ollie. It is so difficult to leave him but Ollie is so happy at Sue's home and now I know I can go away rest assured that my pup is well cared for and loved! Thank you !”
“Helped out in a last minute notice in a whole different state and treated pepperoni like he was their own 🥰 I can honestly say I got super lucky with them! I booked a trip to Nj to see the American Dream mall and take my son to Nickelodeon amusement park for his 2nd bday booked a hotel that accepted dogs but could not accept my dog barking and he barked when he was alone he had a bit of separation anxiety. Which I doubt it was as bad as the hotel made it but thanks god for Hsin & Paul! They were able to take pepperoni on last minute.”
“Amanda sent us lots of photos and had everything packed up and ready when we arrived to pick her up. Our girl seemed happy as can be in the photos and when we picked her up. Thanks Amanda!”
“Highly recommend! Murphy had the best time with Christian! I was super nervous leaving Murphy with someone he didn’t know for a few days, but as soon as I met Christian and his family, I felt instantly comfortable. They were so friendly and welcoming! Christian was awesome with communication — even before I dropped Murphy off, he answered all my questions and made the whole process easy. While I was away, he sent just the right amount of pics and videos of Murphy living his best life, which made me feel so much better. Picking him up was super easy too. Honestly, I can’t recommend Christian enough — will definitely be booking with him again!”
“My dogs were in good hands from the get go. I got videos and pictures, updates throughout the day. All the extra stuff was taken care of, I didn't even worry for a minute. Truly lucky we found such an awesome accomodation, I'm sad we are moving otherwise I'd book again!”
“Rosemeri is amazing! She went above and beyond with our chihuahua Molly. She is definitely an animal lover, our dog warmed up to her immediately. Always quick to respond and sent us lots of pictures, videos and updates. Our dog is a bit needy but I saw from all of the updates that she received so many cuddles and attention. It was such a good feeling to know our dog was so well taken care of while we were away.”
“We had such a great experience with Suzie. She took amazing care of our dog, Buzzy, while we were away. From the start, communication was clear and reassuring. She sent updates and photos about how he was doing, which really put us at ease. We’re so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and caring. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Montclair
Auggie and I had an amazing experience with Heather and her family. This was the first time my pup had stayed with anyone new outside of my own family, so I was a little nervous about him being anxious. We did a meet-and-greet the week before, and Heather (and her very sweet family) made me feel completely comfortable and confident. During the stay, I received many fantastic, detailed updates and photos of Auggie’s long weekend of fun. Heather has great, well fenced yard that Auggie enjoyed many zoomies in - even on the day it rained. Auggie can be challenging to walk in public due to some dog reactivity, but Heather took great care to follow the tips I passed along when I dropped him off and I felt totally at ease. 100/10 would (and absolutely will) be returning again!
I have used Tracy and Steve multiple times and every time Django comes back happy and relaxed. This time they had the unique experience of caring for Nonny… Who is a very “special dog”. They were patient and kind with her and it gave me great confidence in their care! Will book again 🥰
Alex was great with Tahlia. He loved her like his own. Tahlia was well cared for. Tahlia was very comfortable and happy the minute she met him. Alex also sent me pictures of Tahlia while I was on my trip. Alex Also went out of his was to pick up more food for Tahlia when it ran out. Tahlia enjoyed the back yard and walks. She also loved playing with his dog. Such a warm and friendly person and lovely house. Alex tucked Tahlia in bed every night. Tahlia wanted to stay. I would definitely leave Tahlia with him again. His family was also friendly and care. I would highly recommend Alex. I am so happy and relieved I found Alex
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Montclair is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $77 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 13,895 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 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.
94% 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, 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 , 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 .
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.
