“Rosalina was awesome. I had someone cancel on me and she was able to accept the job very last minute. She sent so many pictures each day. I would definitely recommend and use her services again.”
“Rebeca & Roman are amazing! They take great care of our fur baby and make sure to send lots of photos of her when they have her. I feel so at ease when she’s in their care while we are away.”
“Jessica is so loving to my two Australian Shepherds that it makes me feel comfortable leaving them when I travel. She is in frequent communication with photos and videos. Most importantly my digs get super excited to see her and to go with her! Highly recommend!”
“The boarding went very smoothly! Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and even with my late drop-off (completely my fault), everything was handled with patience and professionalism. I felt confident my two little rascals were in great hands!”
“We rebooked with Katherine and Marc after a good fist stay a couple months ago. Less than a week before her scheduled stay this time, our dog tore her ACL. They cared for her so well and provided me lots of updates.”
“I can't believe how wonderful Sarah K was with Charlie! She is going to be my go to gal for pet sitting. I trusted her and she updated me on his status as the days I was gone went. Will use her again in a heartbeat!”
“This is the first time I used this app. I was very pleased from the “meet and greet” to the time I dropped off my pet for boarding. I received pics every day. This kept me connected with my pet. Nancy took good care of my pet. I will use her again.”
“Our pup stayed at Celina’s for a whole week. We chose her because she has a spacious backyard and she also has Maggie- her black lab that I knew our dog would have so much fun with. We got regular photo and video updates while we were away. I would definitely recommend booking with her 😊”
“We love Mickey! He’s trained my dog continually and kept my dog during the weekend to get him more used to other dogs and everything has gone well! We will continue training for life! Mickey is laid back and explains everything sufficiently for my family to use tactics for our dog.”
“Saroj has been a wonderful caregiver to our cat and made him feel so comfortable and relaxed. She constantly sent us pictures and videos and that allowed us to enjoy our vacation and feel relieved that our precious fur baby was in good hands. Thank you for your graciousness Saroj, we truly appreciate it!”
“I was a little worried leaving my small dog I adopted only 8 months ago with someone she had never met but Edina reassured me quickly that she would make her time away from me enjoyable and fun. She made it that much easier to work away from home, seeing photos of her playing, going for walks and cuddling with Edina’s daughter. Would definitely recommend and will use her services again!”
“My pup’s stay with Cindy was absolutely wonderful! Cindy was communicative, flexible, sent frequent updates and pictures, AND provided special care for my special needs girl. She and her husband are kind, friendly people who clearly love dogs. I can’t thank them enough and would recommend to anybody!”
“Awesome. Just excellent. While you may be on a bargain hunt believe me I was before, our first try we looked for service and a deal. Marina is neither, she is an extention of your family. While on vacation leaving behind our furry child is tough but it's not so bad when it feels like he is staying with another member of the family. Our dog comes back happy and loved.”
“Absolutely wonderful dog sitter and caregiver! Kathleen (Katie) has been my go-to dog boarder for over 15 years, and I was thrilled when she joined Rover so more people could find her. She recently watched my dog for me, and it was just as fantastic as always. From the very first day we met, I knew my pups were in the best hands. Katie truly loves dogs and it shows in everything she does. When we adopted our puppy a while back, Katie was incredibly helpful — offering advice, extra patience, and gentle guidance as we all adjusted to life with a new little one. She has such a calming presence with dogs of all ages and personalities. My dog always comes home happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like their own, look no further. Katie is professional, communicative, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about what she does. I recommend her without hesitation — she’s the real deal! Thank you, Katie, for always taking such great care of my furry family members. ❤️”
“My dog had a great stay with Jessica! She closely follows care instructions and spends time catering to the dog's needs. She also sent pics and updates throughout the stay which is much appreciated. I would definitely recommend her and will book with her again!”
“Anna was amazing with our dog Indy! She had the best time and was so well cared for. We loved getting picture updates while we were away. We came back to a happy, relaxed pup, couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend!”
“Mykayla and her husband were super nice and very professional. They have two dogs both of which are very sweet and friendly. Their dogs played with my dog and seemed VERY patient with him. Overall it was a great experience using Mykayla!”
“We always try to book Traci when we’re leaving town. She is conscientious, flexible, and cheerful, and provides frequent updates with photos. We have no worries at all when we leave our pups with Traci. Our dogs love her, and she seems to really love them, too!”

Without a doubt, I knew I would love to continue helping people and pets in my free time. I love meeting new pets, and my outgoing personality helps your pets feel energized and safe. I am a very well-experienced sitter as I am very detailed with pet behavior and know how to handle animal care, like giving medication.

I have added a well plan schedule below. Monday - after 1:40 pm Tuesday- after 3:00 pm Wednesday - after 5:00 pm Thursday - after 3:00 pm Friday - after 2:00 pm Saturday early morning and evening Sunday evening only In-home care will be safe for your pets as I myself don't have any pets. This will allow me to give your pet my full attention to care for them. I have a fenced backyard, which will give your pet space to roam around.

She was the absolute sweetest! 🥰 She took such great care of my pups and sent me pictures and updates every single day which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear they were in great hands and well cared for. I truly appreciate how sweet, attentive, and communicative she was throughout their stay. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable sitter! ❤️
Rosalina was wonderful with Bruno! She watched him for 5 nights, Oct 29–Nov 3, at her home while we were away, and followed his routine so well. She sent great daily updates, videos, and photos, which made it so easy to relax knowing he was doing well and Bruno was very happy with her! We felt completely at ease leaving him with her, and pickup was easy. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter!
If I could give Teecey 6 stars, I absolutely would! We didn’t have an opportunity to do a meet and greet beforehand due to scheduling, but Gigi felt right at home from the moment we arrived, and I immediately felt comfortable leaving her in Teecey’s care. She treated Gigi like she was her own, even introduced her to some new food! She also kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the stay without me ever having to ask, which I really appreciated. It’s always a little nerve-racking leaving your dog with someone new, but Teecey made the entire experience so easy. Knowing Gigi was comfortable, happy, and genuinely cared for gave me peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with her again
Jamie did a great job watching Henry! She kept me informed and sent pictures daily. Her dog was extremely friendly and accepted Henry immediately. I know Henry had a great time because he slept the entire day we picked him up. Would definitely recommend Jamie to anyone and would book with her again if we need a sitter.
Angeline was the best choice for dog sitting my two pups. She was very communicative, had great knowledge of my dogs needs, and was super accommodating for picking up the dogs after my delayed flight. I will 100% be using Angeline in the future. She is so caring and takes care of the dogs as if they are her own. I greatly appreciate all she did for me and Basil and Dill.
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the very beginning, Gustavo was incredibly kind, communicative, and caring. I felt completely comfortable knowing my pet was in such great hands. They treated my pet like their own and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. My pet was happy, comfortable, and clearly well taken care of when I came back. It’s obvious that Gustavo genuinely loves animals and takes their responsibility seriously. I really appreciated how attentive they were and how easy they made the entire process. I would absolutely recommend Gustavo to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and loving to care for their pets. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!
Bryant and the family were outstanding. They took such great care of my fur baby Chance. They gave constant updates and videos of their interactions and having fun with the doggie! They were by far my he best caregivers we have ever had using Rover. I definitely recommend them and hopefully they will be available for the next time. Thanks again for taking such good care of Chance!!!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Montclair can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Montclair home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Montclair.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Montclair. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
You and your Montclair sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
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 VA 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
