“Stefanie’s service is amazing. I hate leaving my fur babies but I know they are in great hands with her. She’s very punctual, takes lots of pictures and asks questions if she is not sure of something. She’s very reliable! I highly recommend Stefanie for your pet sitting needs!”
About: What sets me apart is my 15 years of hands-on experience caring for and raising pets. Growing up surrounded by animals taught me how to understand their body language, recognize their needs, and make them feel safe and comfortable. I'm responsible, reliable, and respectful of your home, and I'm committed to keeping it secure while ensuring your pets stay happy, loved, and relaxed in their normal routine while you're away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I currently have a highly flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I have plenty of open time to dedicate to your pets and am very adaptable based on what you and your animal need. I always keep my availability calendar completely updated so you know exactly when I am free! When I'm watching pets, keeping them safe is always my main focus. I always make sure to follow all the owner's rules exactly, double-check that all the doors and gates are locked tight,and maintain a clean, hazard-free environment. I make sure pets are well-supervised, fed on time, and treated with the same love and respect I give my own animals.
“Willow is amazing, very passionate about animals and it shows with each visit. The pics she sent shows how happy my pets are to see her with every time she drops in! I will certainly have her watch them again!”
About: I've always been a natural caregiver. I've had pets since I was born, took care of my grandmother in her final years, and I take care of patients of all ages everyday as a healthcare worker. My goal is always to look out for the underdog (pun intended). I work at a dental clinic nearby with nights, weekends, and every other Friday off. My 15 minute commute allows me to pop home if I need to let our pup out. I have plenty of time before and after work for walks and snuggles too! I have a fenced in backyard, a super laid back 9 year old lab mix, and two chill cats who pretty much keep to themselves. We have plenty of extra space for crating if need be! And if for some reason your furry friend needs and entirely secluded area, we can provide that as well.
About: I grew up with lots of animals that always needed extra care and love. I also have taken care of seniors that need extra attention, patience, and medication. I just recently graduated cosmetology school so I’m taking time off in the mean time to explore other areas. I have open availability so my focus can be on your fur babies I keep plenty of toys and litter boxes around the home. I keep evening tidy and clean for my animals. I like to meet the animal first to make sure it’ll be a good fit and to ensure I am capable of taking care of them
“Samantha was wonderful to our 2 cats. Always sent pictures and videos every day and was very good and gaining their trust - they are usually very shy around new people. Would highly recommend her!”
About: I am a 25 year old who has grown up with dogs and cats since childhood, from their young stages to their senior years. I have always had a soft spot for animals and have prior experience dog walking as well as pet sitting for both dogs and cats! As a current pet owner of a 13 year old cat, I am eager to care for your pets as my own!! I am currently working M-F as a Behavioral Technician, so my weekday availability is anytime before 9am and anytime after 6pm. My schedule changes on occasion depending on client needs, so if I am ever available for last minute pet visits during afternoon hours, I will not hesitate to reach out. I have open availability on weekends as well as most holidays. If I am ever going to be unavailable due to traveling, I will let you know at least 1-3 months in advance! I will be sure to always greet your fur baby/babies with a warm, loving welcome and ensure they feel safe and comfortable in my care by attending to their needs!
“Amanda was amazing! She spent time with our girls and was communicative and prompt. She was flexible and helped us modify our booking when we had to cut our trip short due to illness. We absolutely would book again with Amanda for future needs!”
“Melissa was amazing doing a drop-in visit for our four doggies while we were out all day! We have one dog who is pretty shy as she was feral, and I loved seeing a photo where she actually was by Melissa! Shows us Melissa has great vibes and energy, and when the dogs approve, so do us humans! Thank you so much Melissa!!💜”
About: I LOVE animals and just want more time with them. I can manage strong dogs as mine are and also am used to high anxiety dogs as I have one of those too. I am eager to live on your fur babies in your absence I work full time but only have my kids 50% of the time which leaves me a lot of free time to help watch your pets. Even if I have my kids, they love animals too I can walk dogs, let them out in the yard, can clean litter boxes and play/pet them. I can give meds if your pet will use pill pockets
“I’m so glad I met with Tony, she seems very nice and knowledgeable. Chip immediately warmed up to her and they became good friends. I hope she will be able to take care of my boy very soon. I will not leave him with just anyone, so this experience was very nice. So glad someone told me about Rover!”
“Radyah was great!! Our kitties have a complicated feeding routine because they are naughty and she was awesome about it. Took notes and pictures and gave us really helpful updates while we were away. Highly recommend Radyah’s services for your pets!!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, giving me 15 years of hands-on experience across all breeds and sizes. From large, powerful breeds like Rottweilers, Pitbulls, and Great Danes to spirited Schnauzers and my current 4-year-old French Bulldog, I understand how to adjust my care to every dog's unique personality and energy level. Whether your pup needs confident, experienced handling on walks or gentle, focused attention, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Pet care is my top priority! I manage my schedule carefully to ensure every dog gets full attention, frequent bathroom breaks, and daily exercise. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or house sitting, I have flexible availability to match your dog's exact daily routine. Having raised dogs my whole life—from large breeds like Great Danes and Pitbulls to smaller pups like my Frenchie—I prioritize safety above all else. In your home, I keep the environment secure, strictly follow all feeding and leash protocols, and provide frequent updates and photos so you have total peace of mind.
“Great communication, We asked Ty to drop in on our very skittish cats for a week and they went above and beyond watering our snake as well! By the end of the week one of them was eating out of their hand.”
“Love Brenda and so do my cats! Third time I’ve contracted Brenda and she has been professional, friendly and timely on all occasions. Looking forward to working with her again in future!”
“Alyssa is so very sweet and gentle with our furbabies. She’s lovely, uber-reliable (no reminders needed), and absolutely trustworthy! We appreciated communication with feedback about her visits and photos to see that our dogs were OK!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Montclair
Pamela was wonderful with our pets! She took great care of them and made sure everything they needed was taken care of while we were away. She sent us detailed updates after each visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that she spent time with them and gave them plenty of attention and affection. We came home to happy, well cared for pets and would absolutely book with Pamela again.Highly recommend her!
Ashley was great! Both cats seemed to really like her, in fact I think they were waiting by the door yesterday afternoon for her to visit! She also noted that she had poor cell service while visiting the cats in my home, which was a good note to make sure she has the wi-fi information next time!
Skyler is a pet pro! Our family highly recommends her to anyone seeking care for their kitties. She is a great communicator and took excellent care of our babies while we were out of town. We got lots of pictures of our kitties, and it shows that they adore Skyler. One of our kitties is elderly and requires daily oral injections, which Skyler gave him with ease. We’d love to have Skyler back when we travel again.
Iqra was absolutely amazing with my cats! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and reliable the entire time. She kept me updated, made sure my cats were comfortable, loved, and well taken care of, and truly treated them like her own. She even went out of her way to bring wet food for them, which was such a thoughtful and kind gesture. You can genuinely tell how much she loves animals. I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were in such good hands. I would highly recommend Iqra to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and loving cat sitter! 🐾💕
Cathy took wonderful care of my cat, Sky, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very beginning, Sky made a great connection with her and was incredibly affectionate, which says so much about the care and warmth she provides. She truly went above and beyond, giving Sky extra love and attention and making sure he felt comfortable and happy at all times. Cathy was kind, helpful, supportive, and very proactive, always keeping me updated and anticipating anything Sky might need. She was also extremely responsive and easy to reach, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I would absolutely trust Cathy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. If Sky could type, he’d probably give her 5 paws and a head boop 🐾😄

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Montclair on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
