“Aneesa was absolutely AMAZING!!! I cannot thank her enough for the hard work my furry children put her through!!! 😅 She chased and wrangled the bunnies around the house who kept finding ways to escape and was extremely patient with my old man pup who was aggressively protective for the first couple of days, and eventually became great friends after a while! I was so stressed about the chaos as I was away but Aneesa kept calm and had everything under control as well as kept coming up with new ideas to keep things under control until the next check in. She’s so sweet she even took my trash bin back from the road and brought in all my packages that arrived at my doorstep. I would 10000000% recommend her for any of your fur baby needs while you’re away!”
“Excellent service, everyday day providing updates with pictures. Actually, we owe her an apology, because we responded to her messages late—or didn't respond at all, so we’re sorry about that 😅 thank you again for everything, taking your time to be with our doggie and playing with her too.”
“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 🐾😄”
“I’ve used Shannon twice now to help me care for my two schnauzers. Once was for feeding and letting out while I recovered from surgery. Once was when I was able to leave for a few days of R and R. I felt perfectly confident both times with Shannon caring for my babies. She loves animals and takes the time to make sure she bonds with each one. I’m not sure that they even missed me.”
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life. Being that I was raised around dogs, I know how to get used to the behavioral differences in different breeds. I love to play with dogs and be able to walk them and give them the attention they deserve. I know how it feels to want your fur babies taken care of and I will make sure that I can do that for you. My weekends are fairly open. On weekdays, I will be able to visit your pet after about 4:30. I have no preference as to what breed I will be walking or looking after. I just ask that you let me know if they can be a little aggressive towards strangers so I know how to approach them. Own dogs and cats? No problem! I can care for both. Note: I am a federal contractor. My weekday availability is subject to change. Feel free to contact me for additional information. I have three pets at home, so I am responsible for taking care of them each day. Because I have dogs of my own, I will be able to care for yours properly. I come in and sit with the pets and assess the pet’s needs. I try to keep things the same as if they were with their owner so that the pet is comfortable and will continue their normal routine.
About: I have had a pet ever since I was six and have assited through two kennels during a teenager, and still training and learning with each dog.

About: I’ve been dog/house sitting since I was about 12 years old. I went on to take Veterinary Medicine courses through my high school, while I interned at a local animal hospital. I then went on to work as a kennel tech at a boarding and daycare facility for a year, then moved to another vet to start putting my knowledge to the test! I am now enrolled and in my second year of online school to get my bachelors in Animal Health and Behavior, and I absolutely love my job as a vet tech assistant! I’m currently only working part time so I have more time for school, but I do have some extra time on my hands. There’s no better way to spend free time than playing with furry friends! I have plenty experience in basic dog/cat health, including handling aggressive, overly energetic, or untrained pets, as well as “breakout artists”, who might be prone to fence-jumping or getting out of kennels. During my experience working as a kennel tech, I learned many different ways to handle an array of behaviors.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up with at least two dogs in our home at all times, and as I got older, caring for them became an important responsibility—from walks and feeding to making sure they got plenty of love, attention, and playtime. For the past five years, I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and other families. I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn off some energy, a little extra playtime, or simply some companionship, I’m happy to help! I recently graduated from the University of Missouri, where I was a Division I gymnast. Being a student-athlete taught me to be dependable, organized, attentive to routines, and responsible. These qualities I bring to every pet I care for. I also love staying active, so spending time outdoors with an energetic pup is right up my alley! Most importantly, I know that your pet is family. I want every dog I care for to feel like they’re getting the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own pets. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup and become someone you can trust to take great care of them! I am currently working part time and have lots of free time to play and walk your pups! Because of this, I would plan my day around when they would need to be walked, fed, and played with! With having three friendly and energetic Labs at home, I am used to lots of play time and long walks. I am great at following directions and I feel confident that I can help provide a safe and loving environment for your amazing pups!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Montclair choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
