Pet Sitting Montclair

“Mark went above and beyond when stopping in on my cats, he was very communicative letting me know how they were doing and answering all of my questions. And he even stayed to play with them past the allotted time. He did a great job and would absolutely recommend him to take care of your cats or dogs.”

I really felt comfortable leaving Royal with Jonny he is so calm,cool, and collected I know it made our pup feel secure. Do not have any worries about your pet when they are in Jonny's care.”

About: I have been an animal lover all of my life. I grew up with cats, caring for my beloved Walter until he passed at 20 years old. I have since had the pleasure of my own Lab (now 10) as well as experience in Doggy Day Care where I was playroom manager and responsible for dogs anywhere from 1-20 in one playroom at a time(room combo of an average of 45-55 dogs in the whole building split between rooms and size).I am looking forward to more one on one relationships with families and their pets. I am looking forward to a career as a Vet Technician, and plan to take classes in the Fall. At the moment, I am wide open to spend time with local pets as I prepare to return to school. My plan come Fall will be part time classes and more time animals. Pet care will be my priority in my weekly routine. I always spend time in advance with the fur babies to get to know them and importantly, discuss the pet parents' needs. Do they need special food? Special training at meals for over excited pups? How much do they like to play/walk? Do they like to interact with other pets or prefer to stay one on one with me? I am also extremely responsible in the homes of pet parents, cleaning up after the babies as well as making sure the home is secure.

“So this was a very last minute & first time thing for me! Luckily Stephanie was able to accommodate me and come help with Myka. Stephanie spent some extra time with her and that means so much to us! Thank you again I will definitely be booking another visit!”

“Michael was fantastic! Very responsive and I got lots of great pictures while I was gone. My cats looked like they were having a great time playing. Everything was great when I got back and they were so well cared for! Will definitely book Michael again!”

“Karin did another great job of taking care of my cat Jax while I was away. I can rest a little easier while I’m on vacation knowing she’s stopping by to help out.”

“Thomas is amazing with my dog. He helps me every week going in to walk him while everyone is at work. He’s become one of my dog’s best friends and couldn’t ask for anything more! Reliable and consistent!”

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs at every stage. From energetic puppies who need patience and structure, to adolescent dogs learning good habits, to our sweet senior dogs who benefit from a slower pace and extra attention. I also have experience volunteering with animal shelters, which taught me how to work with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and anxiety levels. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet as an individual. Some dogs want an adventure buddy, some want a cuddle companion, and others just need a calm, reliable presence while their owners are away. I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a high school teacher, I'm patient, responsible, and highly communicative. I'll treat your pet like a member of my own family and am happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I'm a teacher on summer break with flexible hours. I understand our furry friends don't always live by the same schedule we do, and am happy to provide them with the midday walks/socialization they need so you can come home to a happy pet. I'm happy to provide care in your home, secure yard, or neighborhood where your pet is most comfortable. Care in my home involves comfy couch access, walks on streets with sidewalks, and plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I strive to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. Safety is my top priority, so I always use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, closely supervise outdoor time, and make sure pets have a calm, clean, and comfortable environment. Upon request, I am happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

“I recently rescued a dog and decided to try Rover for the first time. I found Kyra, and she was fantastic! She walked and spent time with my dog, sharing plenty of photos along the way. It was a great experience, and I felt confident my dog was in good hands. I would definitely book with Kyra again!!”

“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.”

“Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.”

About: 📝 About me: Hi! I’m Caitlin, a full-time educator and experienced dog owner and foster based in downtown Montclair. I’ve spent many years caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments — both personally and through rescue work. I regularly foster and have hands-on experience with: 🐾 Puppies and senior dogs 🐾 Frenchies, Boxers, German Shepherds, Shiba Inus, and more 🐾 Medically fragile dogs (including IVDD, allergies, and gastrointestinal needs) 🐾 Medication administration 🐾 Leash reactivity and behavioral needs I understand that every dog is different, and I take a calm, structured approach to help them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. While I’m new to Rover, I bring over a decade of hands-on experience with dog ownership and fostering, including medically complex and behaviorally sensitive dogs. I maintain relationships with many of my fosters’ adoptive families and often pet sit for them when they travel. I’m happy to provide references upon request. 🏡 Your dog will be treated like part of the family in a clean, safe, and supervised home: -Supervised care (I have cameras in my apartment for added safety when I’m away from home) -Multiple daily walks + enrichment opportunities -Clean, comfortable indoor environment (dogs have access to all furniture and fluffy surfaces) -Consistent routines to reduce stress -Plenty of updates, photos, and communication My dog, Georgia, is friendly, social, and enjoys the company of other dogs. I always prioritize safe, appropriate introductions to ensure a good fit. 💊 Special skills: -Medication administration (oral, topical, etc.) -Experience with IVDD and mobility considerations (I have ramps for furniture) -Allergy-sensitive care (diet/environment awareness, bathing, ear care, etc.) -Handling anxious or leash reactive dogs -Rescue/foster transition support 📅 Availability: -Weekends… boarding, walks, and drop-ins -August… full availability for boarding and extended stays I work full-time outside of the home, but maintain a consistent routine with my dog, Georgia, including hour-long walks each morning and evening. During the day, she is cared for by a long-time, trusted dog walker. On weekends, I love taking her on hikes, beach trips, and other outdoor adventures. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding on weekends and during school holidays. I’m also off for the entire month of August, when I can accommodate longer stays and provide more flexible, full-time care. Safety is always my top priority. I provide a calm, structured environment and closely supervise all dogs in my care. My home is dog-friendly, and I’m mindful about introductions, routines, and each dog’s individual needs. I have extensive experience with a wide range of dogs, including puppies, seniors, medically fragile dogs, and those with leash reactivity or special dietary needs. I’m comfortable administering medications and managing allergies. For boarding, I do not leave dogs unattended for long periods, and I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. I also have cameras in my home for added peace of mind.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been something I truly love. I’ve had fish, hamsters, cats, and have spent many years around dogs of all ages and personalities. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of both dog and cat behavior, learning how to recognize their body language, personalities, and individual needs. Every pet is different, and I believe they deserve care that’s tailored to who they are. One of the biggest reasons I wanted to become a pet sitter is because I know pets aren’t “just animals”—they’re family. Growing up, I had a cat named Bugsy who was with us until he reached old age. Caring for him through every stage of his life taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and making sure both his physical and emotional needs were met. Those experiences shaped the way I care for every animal today. Now I have my own cat, Gumbo, who is absolutely my baby. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet behind, whether you’re working long hours or traveling. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. Whether that’s an energetic walk, playtime to burn off extra energy, enrichment activities, cuddles on the couch, or simply respecting a shy pet’s boundaries, I’ll care for them the way I would want someone to care for my own. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family, and I look forward to giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, dependable hands. I work full-time in a hybrid role, which gives me a consistent schedule while still allowing flexibility to care for pets. I’m available every morning and evening for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship, and on many work-from-home days I can also provide midday visits and attention. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I do my best to maintain their normal schedule and ensure they receive the care, exercise, and affection they need throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and secure in their familiar environment. Before each booking, I like to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, favorite activities, and any behavioral quirks so I can provide care that’s tailored specifically to them. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and house rules, and I always respect my clients’ homes as if they were my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, well cared for, and in good hands while they’re away.

“Angie did a great job of taking care of our cats while my fiancé and I were on vacation. She followed our more in depth instructions with the food to a tee and did a great job making sure all the litter boxes were cleaned daily. Would definitely recommend.”

“Marc has been great since he started checking in and walking the boys. Super nice and asks plenty of questions to make sure they’re well taken care of when he stops by. I highly recommend using Marc!”

About: Hello! As a school social worker, a mom, and a lifelong animal lover, I know firsthand that pets are not just animals—they are cherished family members who bring endless joy to our lives.

Leaving them can be tough, but my goal is to give you total peace of mind by providing the same patience, safety, and nurturing care. I have completely open availability this summer! From now until August, I am available daily for walks, drop-ins, or daycare anytime up until 7:00 PM. I look forward to keeping your pup active and happy during the sunny months!
