“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.”
“We are so happy to have found Geoff, Jenny and family. Snickers was treated like one of the family. She had plenty of friends and activity to keep her engaged. We loved receiving plenty of updates throughout the time away which included pictures and videos. We have found Snickers 2nd home when we are away. It makes us feel so good that we don’t have to worry that she will be taken care of in a loving home.”
“Maisha was an amazing sitter for my pup! She restored my trust in the Rover platform after a couple of not so pleasant experiences…and he smelled amazing at pickup! I received morning and nightly updates with pics. Will definitely book again!!”
“This was our third time using this sitter, and we’ve always felt very comfortable leaving Buddy with them—but this time truly showed how exceptional they are. We had an unexpected emergency with Buddy involving a neurological issue, and they handled it calmly and professionally. They called me immediately, followed my instructions exactly, and kept me updated throughout, which really helped put me at ease during a very stressful situation. They are incredibly responsible, attentive, and reliable. I’m so grateful for the care they gave Buddy and the support they gave me. I highly recommend them and look forward to bringing Buddy back once he’s feeling better.”
“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!”
“Caroline was amazing at keeping me up to date with photos and videos of my dog’s stay. Her family made Harper feel welcomed, loved and super comfortable. I highly recommend her !!”
“Jia took great care of our cat while we were away for a week. She made sure he was comfortable and entertained. He seems to have had a good time! We also got daily updates. We’d highly recommend Jia as a cat sitter.”
“Hsin Yun & Phi were fantastic! They were super responsive and let me check out their place beforehand, which really put my mind at ease. Throughout the trip, they kept sending me updates and photos of my dog, which I really appreciated. When my flight got cancelled because of the government shutdown, they were incredibly flexible and understanding about keeping my dog longer. Honestly, their willingness to help during such a chaotic situation meant so much to me. My dog was clearly happy and well taken care of. Would definitely book with them again!”
“Amanda was incredibly kind, flexible and communicative. This was the very first time I have ever left my elderly dog with anyone outside of close family and I highly recommend Amanda and her family. I was able to take my trip without any stress whatsoever. Thank you Amanda!”
“Diamond was excellent! This was the first time we had someone dogsit our doggie over night. She kept us in the loop of how she was doing through out the day and sent many pictures. She was always quick to respond if we were checking in on her z. And would text with enthusiasm confirming the drop off time to begin sitting. If she had any questions she would simply reach out to us. She was very sweet and so was her husband who played with our dog a lot. I will surely book with her again.”
“I have a sweet but anxious girl and she was very happy staying with Janise- I could tell by the videos she keep me updated with that she was happy and trusted her - I would highly recommend her and would rebook again!”
“We would give 10 stars if we could! Tricia had our Labrador Retriever/Catahoula Leopard mix Lenny for a little over a week and it was the first time we had ever left him anywhere. At our first meeting, it was clear that Tricia has a tremendous amount of experience and know-how when it comes to dogs, and I knew immediately that we were in great hands. She calmed our nerves and assured us that she would keep us updated while we were away. She helped our guy settle into a routine quickly and she did an extraordinary job handling his food issues (we sent pre-made table food for her to give him). While we were away, she was an excellent communicator and sent us various pictures of him during different times of the day. He looked so happy that we were afraid he wouldn't want to come home! When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, clean, and showed obvious affection towards Tricia. We are so incredibly relieved that we found her to watch Lenny if and when we need to travel without our boy. With gratitude, from Laura (Lenny's Mom).”
“Rosemeri took wonderful care of Koffee during her stay. She shared pictures and updates throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Koffee looked happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable with her. I truly appreciate the thoughtful care and would gladly book with Rosemeri again.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Funda. From the moment I contacted her, she was responsive and accommodating. The quality of her work is exceptional, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. Five stars all the way! The service and the overall experience were outstanding. I will definitely be a repeat customer and will recommend her to everyone I know.”
About: Personally, I feel as though what sets me apart from other pet sitters is finding the love for animals and shaping that love into comfort when I need it the most . It pushes me to want to provide care but also having a pet of my own over the years and recently has taught me how to be more gentle and caring. I am a full-time student so pet care will fit into my daily schedule according to my class schedule whether that is early morning nights or even after my classes. I care for my pets as if they are children, so providing the basic necessities, they need to feel loved and care for is what I will apply to my pet sitting job.
“Ivette was amazing with Linnie! I got lots of pictures, and am happy Linnie had a cozy home with new friends while I was away. Definitely booking with them again!”

I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about Yuberkis! She took such wonderful care of my French Bulldog, Meelo, from November 8th through November 14th, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, she made me feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. What really stood out was her communication. She went above and beyond by sending multiple pictures and videos throughout each day, keeping me updated and allowing me to see how Meelo was doing. It was such a relief knowing he was happy, comfortable, and receiving so much love and attention while I was away. It’s never easy leaving your fur baby with someone else, but Yuberkis made the entire experience stress-free. Her attentiveness, thoughtfulness, and genuine care did not go unnoticed. I would absolutely trust her with Meelo again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable who will treat their pet like family. Thank you, Yuberkis, for taking such amazing care of Meelo! We truly appreciate you!
I had such a great experience with Brianna! She was incredibly accommodating to Zara’s needs and made sure she was comfortable and well taken care of throughout her stay. I especially appreciated the updates every couple of hours, with pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her space for the dogs is also very spacious, giving them plenty of room to play, relax, and feel at home. She was attentive, caring, communicative, and clearly loves what she does. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy overnight sitter. I am definitely booking with her again!
Heather and her family took great care of my Beau. My dog loves kids and the pictures showed they treated him just like family. I was sent photos all the time and he seemed so happy. He came home very relaxed. I would recommend Heather to anyone and will definitely use her again!
Caitlin was excellent! She took our dog for multiple walks, made sure he was comfortable at her home, and sent us lots of great pictures and updates during our trip. We felt very secure knowing Caitlin was watching our dog and will definitely be hiring her in the future!
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.
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!

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Montclair. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
