“Had a lovely chat with Tracy and Steven before dropping my girls off for the day. In no time at all I was getting pictures of my girls having a great time hanging with their no friends. Wonderful experience from beginning to end. One of my girls didn’t want to leave.”
“Great experience! Our energetic standard poodle pup was treated well and had fun with Manuel. Pick up and drop off was very convenient We look forward to using Manuel’s services again in the future!”
“Amanda is amazing!!!! Our puppy, Mason, loves her! She takes really good care of Mason and has a great set up in her home for pets. She always tells us how Mason is doing throughout the day and is very reliable. We are so glad we found Amanda for Mason!”
“Cinthia was amazing with Koda. She was very communicative and provided regular updates throughout the day. I felt very comfortable with her watching my dog and knowing he was in good hands. Would totally recommend leveraging cinthia if you have the opportunity.”
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.
“Outstanding service! I needed a last-minute backup sitter when our regular sitter wasn't available. Karen responded -and continued to respond throughout our interaction- immediately and thoughtfully. She asked excellent questions at our "meet-n-greet" and our pup immediately warmed to her and her well-kept home. I wasn't able to tell her exactly when I would be back to pick up due to lack of cell service but she took it in stride and replied "No problem" when I was finally able to communicate. Karen is new to this site and I'm confident she will be racking up 5-star reviews in no time. I will definitely use her again and tell my friends.”
“Sheri was awesome with our little Penny. We set up a meet-and-greet beforehand and I felt really comfortable leaving my fur baby in her hands. She sent pictures throughout the day and made me feel comfortable about leaving my puppy for the first time. Thanks Sheri! Will definitely be reaching out again soon!”
“My 75lb hound dog ‘Biggie Smalls’ LOVES Desi & Marilyn. He gets excited every time he arrives for doggy day care, practically runs out the car as he is greeted with a warm welcome by them. Desi & Marilyn are dog lovers, super friendly, professional, attentive, and has transformed their house to provide a safe and fun environment for dogs. Desi & Marilyn also provided me with updates by sending both pictures & videos. I can't thank you them enough for taking such good care of Biggie. Highly recommend them!!!”
About: I love animals in general and have had pets my whole life.

About: I’ve cared for many family pets in the past, mostly smaller dogs. Because of my love for dogs, I enjoy doing research about different or watching videos, so I have a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and care. I’m also very active and would love another reason to get out and run! Hello, my name is Taylor and I’m currently a college student! I’m available pretty much any time of any day, especially in the early afternoon. First, I respect the routine the pet already has and would like to know all details about their current routine. I also find it important to know any injuries, medications, allergies, etc. to make sure they stay as comfortable as possible.
“Thank you! Redd is good and tired. Kate and Kale were easy to work with and took Redd to the dog park to burn off energy. Redd came home very relaxed and loving as usual. We appreciate the extra effort taking him to the dog park because Redd can be very energetic and loves to run.”
“My dogs have been to Sonya's twice and they go with her happily and come home happy and well taken care of. Sonya is super responsive, keeps me updated throughout the day, and gives me a detailed report afterwards, which I appreciate. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of many sizes.

I have a mud room where their beds can be placed in a warm and cozy room as well

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Montclair
Star was great with my two dogs. Treated them like they were her own, sent great updates through the day, and they were in great shape when I picked them up (tuckered out but not a mess). She was flexible and communicative, will be using her services again for sure.
We left our two dogs Lewis and Hank with Heather and her family for a day for the first time, and it was a positive experience in every aspect. Hank is deaf and requires visual cues, instead of voice commands. Heather was very attentive to all of my instructions and explanations, showing nothing but positive attitude and readiness to accommodate. She sent a couple updates and several pictures throughout the day, which reinforced my initial impression that she would take good care of our pups. They looked comfortable and happy, even if they were missing home. We're looking forward to leaving Lewis and Hank with Heather again and trying for overnight and multi-day stays.
Amanda was very nice and sweet. Kashy was so happy when we first arrived and he was excited to spend his day with her. Got some photos and a video of him enjoying her place and he seemed very comfortable there. Thank you for taking great care of our fur baby! We hope to have you watch him again in the future!
I couldn't have asked for a better first Rover experience! We just moved to the area, and my dog, Jinx, began to bark when left alone. I was nervous about leaving her with someone new for the first time (she is 13 and has never been left in a new environment). This was a last-minute booking, and it couldn't have gone better. Jinx was so comfortable from the start, and it was clear she received so much love and attention. The sitter and her son spent time cuddling with her, and she looked genuinely happy and relaxed. Knowing she was so well cared for gave me complete peace of mind. I would absolutely book with them again!
Megan is the best! My dog is definitely not the simplest dog to take care of, but she made sure my dog felt super comfortable and happy. She sent me plenty of photos to keep me updated and made sure to ask all the right questions to make sure my dog was well taken care of. Genuinely the best dog sitting experience I’ve had!
They accepted my last minute booking. Very communicative and just really friendly people. They were accommodating with my senior dog needs. You could tell they have alot of experience caring with pets. Such and pawsome sitter. Thank you and I hope you’ll accept our future requests.
Cinthia was amazing with Koda. She was very communicative and provided regular updates throughout the day. I felt very comfortable with her watching my dog and knowing he was in good hands. Would totally recommend leveraging cinthia if you have the opportunity.
Darien is incredible! Right off the bat when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She will care for your pet like her own. Kind, compassionate and loving toward our dog. Darien is very flexible and reliable, which made our Thanksgiving gathering less stressful for the day. Thank you Darien for making life a bit easier during the Holidays!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Montclair is $44 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $50 per day. 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 11,254 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Montclair. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Montclair commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 11,254 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of NJ. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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 .
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.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter 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.
