“Stefanie recently took care of my 8 cats! Yes, 8! 5 adult cats and three babies (4-5 week olds). I was stressing about leaving them, but then I found Stefanie on Rover and knew that they would be in great hands with her. She was extremely responsive, asked great questions and followed instructions perfectly. She provided updates and feedback after each visit as well as pictures! Because of the babies and the fact that the momma cat needed to eat multiple times a day, I had Stefanie come over 3 times a day to check on them and feed. She was very professional and I would recommend her to anyone that has fur babies that need loving care while you're away. Thank you, Stefanie! Gizmo, Gidget, Murloc, Merlin, Gamora, Pumpkin Cupcake, PBC and Baby Kit all miss you and greatly appreciate the care you gave them! Shannon”
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.
“Melissa took wonderful care of my two dogs and was reliable, communicative, and professional throughout the week while I was traveling. She even handled a few unexpected messes with kindness and without hesitation, which I truly appreciated. I came home to two happy dogs and would absolutely book Melissa again!”
“Amanda did a great job with our old lady cat. Amanda gave her lots of attention and was very communicative with us. She made sure everything was clean and tidy when we got home, which we very much appreciated.”
“Samantha is absolutely amazing; she did much more than the bare minimum and made sure to give my cat some playtime and affection while I was gone. She's very good with communication and sending photos — highly recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Incredible service!!! Our kitty loved having Ashley stop by. He’s typically a scaredy cat, but was purring and would come out to greet her on her visits. Ashley is clearly a kind and loving presence and we are so thankful that she took such great care of our little old man!!”
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!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of my Georgia! She always made sure Georgia was busy playing, getting lots of pets and love, so she wouldn’t miss us too much while we were away. Everything was clean and organized when we came back. We really appreciate all the care she gave Georgia. I definitely recommend her and would book with her again! 🐾❤️”
“Allie did such a great job taking care of our cat while we were away! She went above and beyond to make sure that our cat was well cared for and comfortable. She was very responsive when we had questions, as well. Our cat warmed up to her very quickly and was happy when we returned. We highly recommend Allie!”
“William started weekly stop ins for my dog Dakota and working with him has been fantastic. He’s responsive and professional and very sweet with my dog. Dakota looks forward to her walks.”
“Megan was wonderful! This was our first time using a pet sitter, and she made us feel completely at ease. She took the time to meet our dogs beforehand, was calm and patient with our anxious Miniature Pinscher, and handled him with the perfect balance of gentleness and confidence. During our trip, she was on time, sent great updates and photos, and took excellent care of our pets and our home. We highly recommend Megan and will definitely book her again!”
“Ty was amazing with my two cats! I would highly recommend Ty to anyone who needs a pet sitter. My cats warmed up to Ty so quickly and I could tell Ty really cared for them and it put my mind at ease while I was away!”
“Radyah took really great care of my lil guy and went above and beyond with everything! She gave me so much peace of mind while traveling and I would be happy to work with her again!”
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
“Brenda was fantastic! Not only did she take great care of our cat, make sure litter box was clean and she was well fed, but sent pics and even helped bring in packages and a huge dresser that was delivered when we were gone. Highly recommend Brenda!”
About: Hello! My name is John Paul (JP) for short. I turned 18 a couple months ago and I’m available for pet sitting! I have been doing pet sitting for about 6 years now and I love it. I’ve had 3 dogs, 2 cats, and over 5 baby parrots I’ve raised on own when I was younger and I like to think I had/have a very good relationship with them. I love all sorts of animals and love getting to spend time and interact with them. We’ll because I’m still in school, I stay at home with my parents but I have 2 cats that I feed, clean litter boxes, and spend time and play with daily. In my clients home I would obviously respect their space and not let the pets in anywhere they cannot go. If they have a fenced backyard and allow it, I would let them out and play with them. If they have a cat I would try my best to just spend time with them and play if they want to!
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Montclair is $22
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Montclair
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 🐾😄

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.
