“Tracy and Steve are amazing hosts and made sure our timid rescue pup felt right at home. They have great energy which helped Bonnie warm up to them quickly, and gave her her space while she got comfortable with her new surroundings. They’re also super communicative and flexible, which made me feel comfortable to have Bonnie in their care. Highly recommend!”
“Geoff & Family took such great care of our dog, sending regular updates throughout the day. They are true animal lovers with a great set up to properly host dogs and make them feel at home!”
“Manuel is awesome! He took great care of Harley and is a great communicator. He is super friendly and you can tell he loves dogs. I look forward to leaving Harley with him next time.”
“Darien’s home is so much more than a dog groomer / boarding. She is a true caretaker. She handles my energetic pup with care, training and patience. She is always accommodating of my hectic schedule and is even cleaner than me - I did not think that was humanly possible! I love the constant updates of her running around and having fun/burning energy so when she comes home she is wiped out! I am so glad I found Darien and her doggy daycare ❤️”
About: I know the specific 'sad eyes' when you pack your bags. My goal is to make my home feel your home and know the exact ways your dog likes their ears scratched, so your dog feels like they’re on a vacation, not just waiting for you to return. I’m home full-time, an early riser, and an active person so I can easily take on your dogs routine and any special needs or requests. I have a fenced yard and a neighborhood with sidewalks. I have three children who love dogs as well and understand safety around meeting new dogs. We are a dog family and love to cuddle!
About: Hi, I’m Jonny! I’ve had a special connection with animals for as long as I can remember. When I was in elementary school, my mother unexpectedly gave away our family dog without telling me, and that experience stayed with me. It gave me an early understanding of just how deep the bond between people and their pets can be. Over the years, I’ve continued learning about dog behavior, training, and responsible pet care, including being inspired by shows like The Dog Whisperer. My goal has always been to better understand animals and provide the kind of patient, attentive, and loving care I would want for my own pets. That passion eventually led me to create our modern Doggy Daycare Suites, where dogs can feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re away from home. I am an entrepreneur working in the health technology and personal development space, along with my wife. I spend plenty of time caring for pets while working toward our business goals. My hours are flexible, including nights and weekends. We now offer Doggy Day Care - Modern Suites for 4-6 hours and even overnight stays! I am very active; I go on walks twice per day, rain or shine, and I am happy to keep your pets active and safe. I am available to watch your pets with drop-in visits or take them out for walks, whatever your pets require to be healthy, happy, and active. We now offer Doggy Day Care - Modern Suites, a beautiful, safe, and spacious home away from home for your dog!
“Yuberkis was amazing! She took care of Simba so well. Kept me updated every little while with pictures and videos. And Simba made a new friend too! Thank you so much for taking such good care of Simba!”
“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.”
“A wonderful experience! Communication was excellent (including photos and videos). Doug has created a calm, well thought out space that can accommodate multiple dogs - including ways to give dogs their own space if needed. Thank you!”
“Andrew is top rated for a reason! Totally worth the cost. He’s got a great space perfect for a dog to free roam and family all committed to the care of your little one. Professional, accommodating, attentive, and great with updates / communication. New to the area and was nervous leaving my little one with a new care giver for an extended period for work travel. Andrew gave me tons of peace of mind. Definitely recommend!”
“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: As a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to my Shiba Inu, Roxy, I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can completely trust. I treat every dog in my care like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’m happy to tailor my care to their needs. I understand the importance of sticking to feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you have peace of mind. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and your furry family member will receive lots of affection, supervision, and personalized care. I know every pet is unique, and my goal is to make them feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Hi! I’m Gisselle, a devoted dog lover and proud dog mom to my friendly Shiba Inu, Roxy. I know that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision, so my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home where your dog feels like part of the family. Every pup in my care receives plenty of affection, exercise, playtime, and individualized attention based on their unique personality and routine. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter pace, I’ll provide the care and attention they need to feel happy and comfortable. I also believe communication is just as important as exceptional care. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and videos throughout your pet’s stay, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re safe, loved, and having a great time. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I would be honored to care for your furry family member. I look forward to welcoming them into our home and giving them a fun, safe, and loving home away from home. Our home features a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, explore, sunbathe, and play under close supervision. Whether your pup enjoys playing fetch, going for walks, lounging in the sun, or simply curling up for a cozy nap, they’ll have a comfortable and secure environment where they can feel relaxed and at home.
“So grateful that I had Star as a sitter! Great communication, plenty of updates and pics. Her pup and mine got along famously, which really sealed the deal for putting Star on my roster of repeat sitters.”
“This is my second time doing business with Jenny and both experiences have been absolutely phenomenal. Jenny takes care of our dog as if it were her own and constantly keeps us up to date with how she’s doing. I recommend Jenny for any pet sitting services!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Montclair
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!
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!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Montclair
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Montclair on Rover is $37.45 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 11,279 sitters in Montclair, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
