Nicole is so patient, kind, and friendly. My pets are all older and I could immediately see upon meeting her that she would be the best fit. My apartment was tidy and the dishes she used were washed and on the counter. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I highly recommend Nicole!

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I grew up with both dogs and cats, cared for my own dog for 15 wonderful years, and currently share my home with my cat. Losing my dog in 2024 after a courageous battle with cancer reminded me just how much our pets mean to us—they're family. That experience deepened my appreciation for providing patient, compassionate care and creating a calm, loving environment for every pet. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I believe every pet deserves individualized care based on their personality and routine. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and safe while giving you complete peace of mind. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and look forward to building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable daytime, evening, and weekend availability for walks and drop-in visits. Because my schedule is flexible, I can often accommodate recurring walks, last-minute requests, and holiday bookings with advance notice. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During every visit, I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications (when applicable), preferred walking routes, and any household routines. I take the time to ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure before and after every walk or visit. I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I also believe communication builds trust. You'll receive prompt updates, photos, and a summary after every visit so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands.

About: I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and patient looking after your pets, and I always try to give them lots of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs. I currently offer drop-in visits, evening house sitting, and walks. I know every pet has their own personality, so I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have a senior dog of my own who has a special diet and is partially blind, so I understand the extra patience and attention some pets may need. During walks, I keep her close to me, help guide her safely up and down stairs, and carry her when needed. I also administer her eye drops daily and make sure she stays comfortable and relaxed. Caring for her has taught me how important gentle, attentive care is, especially for senior pets or pets with special needs. I have a fairly flexible schedule! I’m currently available weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as full availability on weekends for Over night House sitting, drop in visits for both cats and dogs, and dog walking! Visits include feedings, fresh water, potty breaks, walks and playtime! I’m happy to help keep up with your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed in their own home. For walks, I focus on making sure your dog has a safe and fun outing.

Mark is excellent with dogs, doesn't over-push but gradually earns their trust. Mark came through for us when we were running out of options to attend a family gathering out of state, and he turned out being the best option for our shy dog. I could tell she became more relaxed as visits went on. It was such a relief to have her in good hands. We will definitely hope to have Mark care for her again!

About: I grew up working in a farm around nature and animals. I have experience with care, medication, feed and hearding of animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, cows and horses. I just moved to this country. I really love anímales and their well-being. I’m currently looking for a job, and I’d like to start working in a field I’m passionate about, which is animal care. I would care pets in their own home o just walking around the neighborhood, following the owner’s instructions and keeping their normal routine. I would make sure they have fresh food and water, give them attention and playtime, take them for walks if needed, and keep their space clean and safe. I would also pay attention to any changes in their behavior or health and communicate with owner if there are any concerns.

About: I’m a dog mom to 3 sweethearts: Sherlock (15-lb Shih Tzu rescue), Jessie (55-lb American pitbull rescue) and Sasha (40-lb mixed terrier rescue). They all are very reactive to different triggers (people, other dogs, cats, squirrels/wildlife, etc.), and they’ve taught me how to be a better parent. Puppo (18-lb Maltipoo), our 15-year old senior dog, crossed the rainbow bridge in August 2025. Taking care of Puppo for 2 years was a transformative experience - he even taught me how to age with dignity and grace. I work a full-time hybrid job (2 days remote) and Saturday (10:30-1pm), but my calendar will be as up-to-date as possible! I take your pets’ safety very seriously, and will ask questions during our meet-and-greets to ensure their safety under my care. Additionally, I’ll take pictures during walks and cuddles/playtime, and be as communicative as possible. As a dog mom who has used Rover many times, I understand what many parents need!

I was hesitant to use a new dog walker, but my experience with Natalie was very assuring and she was fantastic with my dog King! She was friendly, always on time for the walks, professional and very responsible. I feel so relieved now that I found another great Dog Walker. I highly recommend Natalie and look forward to using her in the future.

About: I am comfortable with animals of all ages and size and love spending time with them. I would welcome any opportunity to help out with caring for the fur babies of fellow pet parents. Currently, I work a 9 to 5 with 3 remote days so pet care can fit easily before, after, or during work when I am at home. In September, I will be working 3 times a week as a Nurse Aide and am able to pick my own schedule. I will have free time to walk or pet sit throughout the rest of the week and am able to adjust my schedule to meet the needs of the family. I am conscious of the importance of understanding the nature of the animals we care for and make an active effort to keep my space as cat friendly as possible for my pets. I make sure all dogs and cats I interact with feel calm and safe in my presence so they can trust me.

About: I have always been involved in pet care in my home for over 15 years. I have had experience with elderly dogs and cats of my own. I have pet-sitted in my neighborhood for puppies and for breeds different from my own dogs. I will use my energy to play with your pet and hopefully decrease their energy. I have a very flexible schedule since graduating college and applying to graduate school nearby. I have lots of time and availability for stop-ins during the day or bringing study materials to a client’s home. My yard is fenced in and I can take dogs for a walk in Brookdale Park nearby. I will administer medicine and play with dogs and provide them with a cuddly environment.

About: Hello! I'm an experienced dog lover offering personalized, attentive care for your furry friend in a safe and loving home environment. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience to every stay. I currently share my home with a sweet 16-year-old Chorkie, so I am well-versed in the patience and care that senior dogs sometimes require. Your dog will be welcomed into a calm and happy space. For safety and peace of mind, my home features a securely fenced backyard perfect for supervised playtime and bathroom breaks. I specialize in caring for small to medium-sized breeds. When your dog stays with me, they'll be treated like family. I look forward to meeting you both! I currently work from home during the week and home on the weekends enjoying the neighborhood and family. I am flexible and willing to accommodate and do pick up if necessary Maintain Routine: Strictly follow the owner's schedule for feeding times, medication, walks, and potty breaks. Food and Water: Provide the correct amount of food and fresh water, and clean bowls. Exercise: Walk dogs for the specified time/distance, and provide playtime/stimulation for all pets (cats, small animals, etc.). Litter/Waste: Scoop the litter box daily, pick up dog waste from the yard, and clean up any accidents inside. Safety/Comfort: Ensure pets are secured (leash, harness, closed gates/doors) and check on anxious or shy pets.

About: I've been taking care of dogs and animals since I was small, and I've loved every second of it. I have a love for animals, especially dogs, and have always had a soft spot for fuzzy creatures. I have experience taking care of dogs big and small, so I will be able to care for your pup no matter the size. Same with cats! I'm currently working full time as a barista, so I usually have a lot of afternoon flexibility. With two cats of my own, I know how important it is to stay on schedule. I'm usually able to accommodate for anything afternoon-evening. I am able to be very flexible when it comes to pet needs, and am very diligent when it comes to animals in general. If you have any requirements for your pets please let me know :)

Bell was wonderful with my Monty. He is only 9 weeks old and I was super anxious leaving him alone for the first time. Bell came and met Monty a few days before his scheduled walk in time & they hit it off! During the visit, Bell took great care of Monty! They played together and went super smoothly. She even sent photos to ease my mind. Thank you, Bell! Until next time ??

Cassie did a wonderful job caring for my two Persian cats for the week I was out of the country. I enjoyed meeting her initially because I could see she was conscientious and friendly. My cats loved her visits since she played with them and let my cat sit on her lap (which is her favorite thing to do). I appreciated that she took the time to check on the upstairs water bowl and keep the litter box clean. Everything was in order when I returned and I was grateful that Cassie brought in a package that was delivered. Cassie is an excellent sitter that you can trust with your pets.

Having a stranger come over to feed our dogs and let them into the backyard was a slightly scary idea… but then I found Nathalia! Her communication was prompt, warm, and professional, and when she came over for the Meet and Greet, I knew that our dogs would be in great hands. Winnie and Hunter (our pups) instantly took to Nathalia, and she was so kind and patient with them. Later that day, Nathalia came to feed them and let them out, and she sent over a fun and detailed report of her visit with them. I’m so glad we found her, and I’d definitely use her again!

He was incredibly patient and caring with Chumpy and went above and beyond, even cleaning up after his not-so-little messes 🫣. Knowing Chumpy was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying. Thank you so much, Mark, for taking such great care of our old man! We truly appreciate your patience, kindness, and the care you showed Chumpy. We would absolutely recommend Mark to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their pet!

I’d easily recommend Jonny to anyone. Me and my wife have a fairy large dog who doesn’t love new people. With our wedding coming up we needed to find someone to pop in and check on him, Jonny did just that for us and alleviated a lot of our stress. Jonny was super flexible with his schedule, he took the time to get out dog comfortable with him. At first meeting our dog was on the aggressive side and Jonny didn’t flinch. He’s a true pro. Beyond that he’s a great guy, super calm and friendly, there was never a doubt about his character and leaving him access to our house. We will definitely be using him more in the future. I couldn’t recommend him more.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Montclair

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Montclair on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 26,131 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Montclair. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Montclair stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Montclair choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Montclair with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Montclair. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
