“Claudine is an excellent reliable dog walker and my pup Pebbie is beyond thrilled to see her during her weekly walks!! She is very attentive to my pup and her needs. Her walks are long and just the right amount of time for my pup to burn energy. She even plays fun games to also make the walks more mentally stimulating. I cannot recommend Claudine and her services enough!”
“Jonny is absolutely amazing!! He is so kind, professional, flexible and (most importantly) incredible with our dog. We feel very lucky to have found him and know that our dog is always in the best hands with him!”
“Jenette is a fantastic dog walker! She was super quick to schedule a meet and greet. Was great handling our 6 mo old beagle mix and taught us a few tricks to reduce leash pulling!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals in Portugal, and my family had Serra da Estrela Mountain Dogs, two German Shepherds and a cat. Living with large guardian breeds taught me how to read a dog's mood, respect their space and stay calm when they're alert or excited. I'm comfortable with big, strong dogs, and with cats too. I also spent two years as an au pair in the US and often work with children, so I'm used to patience, routines and things not going to plan. I'm based in Montclair and available for walks, drop-in visits and house sitting. work part time I have free the most of the days from 9am to 4 pm, and after 8 pm so I have flexible hours during the day for walks and playtime. I'm also available on weekends, including overnight stays. Tell me your dog's routine and I'll fit around it adapt to your dog and your home. We'll agree on the schedule, feeding and any special needs beforehand, and I follow your instructions closely. If anything feels off, I'll contact you right away.
“Alison was amazing, hired her last minute as my sitter for our honeymoon cancelled two days before. We didn’t have a chance to do a meet & greet but was communicative throughout. My boy was very happy !!”
About: I have lifelong experience as a pet owner/lover as well as a decade of walking and caretaking experience. I specifically have developed excellent walking etiquette and liken myself to a walk-trainer for younger dogs 🐾 I am self employed which gives me more than ample time to give my utmost attention to your babies. I also take a two (or more) mile walk everyday already so it's always a great joy to have companions/break it up throughout the day! I live in a duplex with access to the fenced in front yard in an extremely safe neighborhood. There is also a crate, pee pads, treats, beds, love abundant in the home.
“Thomas is wonderful and won over my very shy dog quickly, was accommodating and wonderfully pleasant to work with. You’d be very lucky to have him as your dog helper when in need.”
“This was our first time with Kyra. We had an all day event and needed someone to come take out Milo and feed him. Kyra was wonderful to work with from the meet and greet to today. Milo can be reactive towards other dogs and Kyra was very knowledgeable and understanding of the situation. She sent plenty of photos and Milo absolutely loved her! This was my first time using someone to feed Milo, and I felt incredibly comfortable seeing how responsive and caring Kyra was. We will definitely be booking her again!”
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 am starting graduate school and I have a flexible schedule 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.
“Sadi was great. My dog is very nice, but also has a lot of energy and can be tough to get used to in the beginning. Sadi was wonderful with my pup all weekend. Great updates and communication. Won’t hesitate to reach out for future help. Thanks Sadi.”

About: Dogs have been in my life forever, mine always my bestfriend. They simply bring joy to me, I can bathe, walk, feed, entertain, cuddle , and understand your pet! I am available before 5:00 PM every day except Thursday and Sunday. Pet care is already a regular part of my routine, so I can consistently make time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and other pet care needs. For overnight stays, I just ask for at least one week’s notice whenever possible so I can coordinate my schedule and ensure I can give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As the primary caretaker for my dog, Bear, I make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention. My schedule is flexible enough to accommodate pet visits, walks, and overnight care, and I enjoy spending time with animals as part of my week. This makes caring for other pets feel natural and rewarding for me.
“Mary Ann is trustworthy, timely, and responsive. She did a fantastic job with my slightly-anxious dog, and he warmed up to her immediately. Looking forward to continuing to work with her!”
About: I grew up with 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 tortoise, fish, frogs, snails. I’m able to care for any sort of pet, with any sort of personality, and I take great care of the house, plants, and garden! I want to do Rover full time, so I’m open for booking! I’ve been cat and dog sitting off the app for the past 3 years part-time I currently live with my 5 year old Tabby named Bea and my family dog Cooper, a 4 year old golden doodle. I have a reliable means transportation, and am prompt with responses and updates!
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.

Tracy and Steven are amazing. Being able to go away knowing Andi was is great hands was such a weigh lifted off my shoulders. I really appreciated all of the updates and pictures. A great experience all around and without a doubt will use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone to look after their pups!!!
trustworthy and reliant 👍🏼 Melissa took care of my yorkie babies & my daughter’s basenji. I was not sure at the beginning because Basenjis could be difficult to handle if you have no experience with the breed. Melissa gracefully and patiently gave Belle a chance to warm up to her and everything worked out on day 2 She treated the 3 dog babies like they were her own I felt at peace that somebody like her was taking care of the fur babies while I was away Thank you Melissa
Kyra was amazing! She was able to help out last minute and even came twice in one day to walk and feed our pup who absolutely loved her. She is super sweet, a very proactive communicator and took great care of our fur baby. We would highly recommend her for all your pets needs and will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you so much!
Mark answered my request on short notice and really helped me out. He is very friendly and trustworthy. He always showed up exactly on-time and was very careful with my dogs. I needed to ask him to let himself in and feed my dogs in addition to the original request just to walk them and he had no problem doing exactly what I needed his help with. I will definitely be requesting him next time I need dog care. I highly recommend him.
I’m home recovering from surgery and had never used Rover before, so I was really nervous about booking in general. Katie was beyond sweet, patient, and treated Curley so kindly. The first day, she brought her daughter, who was also the sweetest and such a bonus since Curley loves kids! They communicated with me and shared the cutest pictures. I felt really comfortable having them walk Curley and will definitely continue booking with them ☺️

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Montclair. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
