“I am so happy to have found Jenny and Geoff! They took wonderful care of my 75-lb dog, Sawyer. After checking to make sure that he’d enjoy it, they gave him lots of play time with their kids and other dogs and treated him to multiple trips to the dog park. He started to show signs of an ear infection the day before I had to drop him off, and they were so kind about cleaning his ears twice a day. And they sent me daily photos and videos of him playing and cuddling. I was pretty sure that he wouldn’t want to come home again! Highly recommend!!”
“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!”
“Brianna was great with our dog! She watched him for a week and sent daily photos/updates. Our dog doesn’t get along great with other dogs but Brianna was very accommodating to his needs. Will definitely book again with her in the future.”
“We had to leave Hershey for the memorial long weekend and were fortunate to have found Dee to take care of him. She was AMAZING, super responsive, truly caring for Hershey, treating him like one of her own. I highly recommend Dee to anyone who's looking for a boarding for their dog.”
“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”
“Rochelle was absolutely amazing! She watched after our boy Ham for two weeks while we were in Europe for our wedding/honeymoon and she kept us updated everyday with pics and messages. Truly gave us peace of mind that our boy was well looked after while we were gone. Would 100% recommend!”
“Teresa was fantastic. Gave us updates with photos, has a great environment for the dogs, and most importantly, our dog came back without any behavioral changes. Just the same happy dog we dropped off.”
“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.”
“What a blessing! We had never left our Tumaini (Tutu) for more than a night or two with friends, so we were understandably nervous. From the very start, Manuel put our minds at ease. We first scheduled a meet-and-greet, followed by a full day with Manuel so he and Tu could get to know each other. She had a fantastic time (!!), and we knew right away she was in the best hands. While we were away, Manuel kept us updated with messages and photos, always responding quickly—even to our “we miss Tu so much” texts. He took her on three to four walks a day (which means we officially have no excuse for just three and a backyard romp—lol!). Manuel is not just a sitter; he’s now our go-to for Tu’s care, our first line of defense against worry, and the reason we can travel with complete peace of mind. We couldn’t ask for a better caregiver for our girl!”
“Yuberkis always provides the best care for Elphaba. I never have to worry about her while I am away for work trips. This visit Elphaba made a few new pup friends! I loved seeing the photos and videos of her having a great time. It’s so comforting to have such trust in Yuberkis - she is truly wonderful.”
“Amanda has been really caring and took care of my dog luna very well. She constantly updated me with the status of luna and her pics as well. There were instances where I received photo of luna playing with her and her husband. Overall during my dog boarding with Amanda, my dog luna felt as if she was with another family where she vacationed and had a blast. Thank you.”
“We left our little girl Violet, a very loved 5 yo Lhasa Apso, in the care of Sandra and San this past weekend. From the moment Sandra and I met, I could see how loving and caring she was for her own adorable pup, Penny. We did a meet and greet and Violet and Penny got along beautifully! We knew Violet would be in good hands. Throughout the weekend, we received pictures and we could see just how comfortable and happy Violet was! When it was pickup time, all her belongings were together and packed for home. We felt comfortable, confident and excited to find a place we can trust for Violet when she can’t be with us! We highly recommend Sandra and San! Your pups will thank you for it too!”
“Very positive experience with a 5 night boarding stay with Carolina's family. She's very pleasant to deal with, and she seems to be a very experienced dog owner. My dog seems to have really enjoyed his stay, playing with her Sheepadoodle. They have a very nice enclosed backyard where the dogs can plan outside. It made it very easy to go away on vacation for the week knowing our dog was in good hands. Will definitely rebook in the future and would highly recommend.”
“Darien deserves the award for the world’s best dog sitter! Our two dogs Matcha and Zuma had the time of their lives with Darien and her family! Before we found Darien we would have to leave them with someone who kept them in a pen all day and night, due to Matcha always trying to escape. However, Darien was the first dog sitter we could trust to allow Matcha to roam free, and that’s saying a lot!! Darien was extremely professional, reliable, responsive and overall extremely kind with both Matcha and Zuma. She treated them as her own with endless love and care. The constant pictures and videos she would send, put a smile on our faces and gave us a sense of ease! The amount of time and attention she put towards them touched me! We never had to worry! The only thing we were worried about was if they would ever want to come home! 10000000% would recommend Darien to anyone and everyone!!!”
“Elizabeth and her family took amazing care of my Goldendoodle, Bobo, for ten nights. Elizabeth is reliable and caring! She was very communicative while we were away and sent pictures every day, so we knew never had to worry how Bobo was doing. We’ll definitely book with Elizabeth again!”
“Cannot thank Tracy and Steve enough for taking such good care of our dog, Peppa! It was nice to get regular updates via both photos and videos. You could just tell that Peppa was having a great time and was in good hands! We would definitely recommend Tracy and Steve whose level of excellent care gave us peace of mind. Thanks to them again!”
“Karollyne was great with Bizzle. She was kind and understanding and really managed to build trust with Bizzle in a short period of time. Bizzle is a senior dog and just needs gentle care and understanding which Karollyne did a great job! Highly recommended.”
“Jennifer is so great with Brioche. She is kind and patient and takes the best pictures, letting me know Brioche loves being in her care. Brioche is a tough dog, due to his special needs but Jennifer is someone id trust him with 10x over. Thank you!”

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Caitlin. She took such amazing care of our boy Orso ensuring he got plenty of exercise, attention., play, and ate well! She sent multiple updates throughout the day, including pictures and videos which made us feel so much better. She is responsive and communicates well. Orso had a great time with her and Georgia! I know he’ll look forward to returning!
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 Australian labradoodle, Finn, had a great stay with Manuel. He was well cared for and enjoyed walks, playtime, and snuggles. We received updates everyday, so we could relax on vacation knowing Finn was safe and happy. We feel very comfortable leaving Finn with Manuel and will certainly use him again.
This was our first time leaving our Lucy with someone outside of our home and it was a great experience using Darien. She was very professional, very kind, super communicative with daily videos and Lucy came back to us looking and acting super well cared for. We will definitely plan to use her again in the future.
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!
What a relief. Our 10yr old Guinny has not had overnight boarding/sitting in years. Now that he is visually impaired and diabetic we were extremely nervous to leave him multiple days. Berenice was so attentive and made us feel comfortable from the very start. She maintained his twice-a-day insulin injection schedule and kept him active. At pick up I could immediately tell he felt safe with her as there was no pulling away, no whining, no fuss. We did not enter fully inside the home but still felt it was welcoming and suitable for dog-siiting. We are happy and will definitely book Berenice again.
Karen and her family were absolutely wonderful with Koa! From the moment we met them, I could tell Koa would be in caring, capable hands. They treated her well and it was clear she felt comfortable, happy, and loved during her stay. Karen kept me updated with photos and messages, just the right amount too, consistent and not too much or too little, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Koa came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciated the love, attention, and patience they showed her. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Karen again and in fact already plan too for the next time i am away, I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of my little girl!
I can’t thank Sissi enough for taking such wonderful care of our Sammy! She made him feel welcome and at home while we were away. Sammy is usually anxious without us and we could tell he felt comfortable and happy. We appreciated the daily updates and photos which made us feel at ease. Thanks so much! Until next time.
It was our first time to have our Mochi spend a night with a dogsitter, away from our house. Digdem did a great job giving him time and space to warm up to her and the other dogs she was looking after. She succeeded and our Mochi’s first a sleepover was a huge success, all thanks to Digdem. Highly recommended and will definitely book her again. Thank you Digdem!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Montclair on Rover is $43.6 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 13,948 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.
