“Caitlin was so great!! She was super quick to respond and attentive to all of my cat’s needs. My cat is timid, but Caitlin was so patient and caring. Caitlin also made sure to send lots of photos and detailed reports. Would definitely recommend!”
“Michael was great! My dog can be kinda crazy but he had no issues at all and made me feel very comfortable that he would be able to handle her. Booking was very smooth and he was very accommodating, kind, and easy to coordinate with, and always quick to respond. We will be booking Michael again!”
“Cassie is a phenomenal pet sitter! She took care of our 2 cats for a week while we were gone and was very kind and in tune with them. She went above and beyond making sure to play with them each day too. Cassie is reliable and very friendly to coordinate with. We feel lucky to have found such a great pet sitter for future trips as well.”
“Kyra is wonderful! She is so patient with my very unsocial cat and she is one of the few people in the world he is truly comfortable around and even goes in for pets. With Kyra your pet is in the best hands possible! 😻”
“Tracy and Steven were awesome—our pets were clearly in great hands. They really took the time to bond with them, playing with our dog and giving lots of attention and cuddles to our cats. They showed up three times a day like clockwork and even grabbed a couple packages from the front door, which we really appreciated. The updates and photos after each visit were thoughtful and reassuring. It made a big difference not having to worry about our animal children while we were away. We’d definitely book them again.”
“Thomas was great! He is an excellent communicator and was great with my cats despite their frosty attitudes in the beginning. Will definitely be rebooking him. Thank you Thomas 🙏🏼”
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.
About: I have owned dogs since I was 6 and have experience with caring for four dogs at one time. I currently own two dogs and have owned five in my lifetime. I have been responsible for their care and training, and I am comfortable with both large and small dogs, puppies and seniors, as well as multiple at a time. I have experience caring for pets of friends and neighbors, and I am good at following instructions, as I know how particular pets can be! I am in college and have the ability to work whatever hours fit your needs- early mornings, late nights, weekends. It can be hard to be with your pet 24/7, and I understand that and am willing to work with whatever you may need. I am in college with an irregular schedule, so I can fit your needs at times others cannot. I am willing to work early mornings, late nights, and weekends, and I am experienced in balancing school and work. I see taking care of dogs as more of a passion, so I will work hard to make sure you get the care you deserve. I have experience caring for pets in others' homes, and I am a quick learner. I love detailed instructions; tell me everything I could ever need to know about your pets, and I will work to accommodate them and respect your space.
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.

“Mary Ann recently cared for our two cats for the second time. Once again, we were thoroughly impressed with her service. She is incredibly attentive to our cats' needs and shows great care during her time with them. In addition to her care for our pets, she is very respectful of our home and consistently responsive in her communication. We truly appreciate her reliability and the peace of mind she provides while we are away.”
About: My love for animals is like no other. I have had many pets since I was born and given them all a wonderful life. I have sorted for family, friends, and strangers who have all trusted me to take the best care of their pets. I enjoy playing, walking, or just hanging out with dogs or cats of all breeds and sizes. My current dog is a rescue who is blind so I also have experience with medicine like pills, drops, etc. I am working part time and doing school online so I am very flexible with my times and availability I can be ready for you whenever you need me.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up around dogs, cats, rabbits, and other animals on my family’s farm in Ecuador. I’m a caring, patient, and responsible pet sitter who loves making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience with feeding, walks, cleaning, playtime, and following each pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I especially love cats, but I’m happy to care for dogs too! I will treat your pets like family and make sure they receive plenty of attention and love while you’re away. 🐾❤️ 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.
“Jennifer checked on my puppies New Year's Eve and New Year’s Day. She took excellent care of the puppies and made sure they were comforted. Jennifer is responsive and punctual. She sent me videos and pics of my puppies ????”

We’ve had the pleasure of Thomas looking after our three cats on multiple occasions over the past few months, and every single time he has been absolutely fantastic. Super friendly, super responsible, super accommodating, and absolutely amazing in every way. Our cats also really vibe with him, which is probably the most important part.
Morgan is awesome! She accepted my request last minute and was so sweet and attentive to my baby. I got a lot of updates and photos. She’s very communicative and gentle. I recommend 100% and I will definitely contact her again for future services. Thank you again for everything Morgan! 🫶🏼
Tracy and Steven were wonderful! They helped me out with a last minute drop-in visit on a busy Saturday. They were kind, communicative, and easy to coordinate with. My pup Rosie really loved being with them! They took extra special care of her as she is new to my home and still adjusting to being out of the shelter. 5 stars for Tracy and Steven - will book again!
Dan was prompt, communicative, and took great care of our fur kids. Both pets seemed very happy with each visit, we absolutely loved the photo check ins, and we were able to enjoy our vacation as a family knowing they were in good hands. I highly recommend him for your pet care needs.
Sabrina was absolutely wonderful! Finding her was a true blessing, especially after a bad experience with a previous pet sitter. She was so caring and paid extraordinary attention to detail during every drop-in visit. We will definitely be rebooking with her for all of our future trips!
Kyra is the BEST! Helped me out with a last minute request for a walk and hangout session with my new rescue pup. Kyra is so kind, warm, welcoming, and loving. My pup Rosie loved her the second they met, and the rest is history. Kyra was so communicative and kept me posted on how she was doing, which was very important to me as a new dog dad. Thank you Kyra for taking such good care of both of us!
Janice was absolutely amazing! It was my first time needing a pet sitter and I was a bit nervous but thanks to Janice I was actually able to enjoy my vacation. She is very kind and you can tell she loves animals, she treated my babies as her own and went above and beyond!! I will definitely be using her again in the future. I cannot stress enough how amazing she is.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Montclair is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $44 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 27,445 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Montclair. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Montclair. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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 sitter.
