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

About: I have a wide range of experience caring for pets, including cats, puppies and elderly dogs with medical needs. In addition to providing day-to-day care like walks and drop-ins, I have experience with long-term housesitting. I prioritize communication with my clients and love sending photos and updates so you can be sure your loved one is well cared for! I’m currently taking classes online and volunteering at a shelter every so often, so I’m fully free anytime with enough notice! I aim to get out and walk as much as possible, I’d be happy to take your puppy along with me. Your pets comfort and safety is my number one priority, I will make sure they are cared for and loved like they were my own.

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!

“Lohan did an amazing job taking care of Tracy and Lola! He stepped in last minute and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. He exceeded my expectations, was kind, dependable, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely book his services again the next time I need someone to care for my pets. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a lifelong dog lover with a background in Animal Science and hands-on experience working with animals. In addition to being a dog owner myself, I’ve volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. These experiences have taught me how to be patient, attentive, and compassionate while ensuring every dog feels safe and comfortable. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, walking style, and preferences. Whether your pup enjoys an energetic adventure, a relaxing stroll, or plenty of time to sniff and explore, I’ll make sure they have a fun and enriching experience. As a pet parent, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I’ll treat your furry family member as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages after every walk so you can have complete peace of mind. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about animal care. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I am currently working full time. My work environment is hybrid, so I’m mostly working from home. My schedule is flexible and I’m available for weekday walks, with availability during late mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and find a schedule that works best for both of us. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always take the time to understand their routine, personality, comfort level, and any specific instructions from their family. During walks, I focus on keeping your dog safe by using proper leash handling, being aware of our surroundings, and following any preferences you have regarding routes, pace, and interactions with other dogs or people. When entering your home, I will always be respectful of your space and follow your instructions carefully. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big responsibility, and I will provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care every time.
“My first time in getting a cat sitter online but was highly recommended to use Rover. No regrets! Radyah was so good and flexible on watching the Miss kitty around the holidays. I would recommend her in a heart beat!”

“Taylor was absolutely amazing with our boys, we have worked with her in the past and look forward to working with her in the future. Thank you so much we highly recommend her services to anyone! 🙏☀️🥹”

“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 🐾😄”


About: I provide dependable, personalized care by treating every pet like family. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and pets with special routines, and I always provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind.

I make sure they receive fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also keep their environment clean, follow any special care instructions, and provide regular updates with photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Kaley was super accommodating and took great care of our cat Billy on short notice. He took to her right away, and she sent lots of great photos/videos as well which we loved seeing!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for years. I have my own dog and have also pet sat overnight for 3-8 days for family friends. I've also had cats and experience caring for those. I'm currently an undergraduate student in DC. I'm available most afternoons and evenings during the week, and very flexible on weekends. I can do overnight stays in the Northern VA area as well. I offer house sitting and drop‑in visits in your home to keep your pet comfortable in their normal environment. In your home, I follow your pet’s usual schedule for meals, walks, and play. I take home safety seriously, keeping doors and gates secure, supervising outdoor time, and treating your space with the same care as my own. Before any stay, I review your written instructions and ask questions, then send regular photo updates so you can relax while you’re away.
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!
“We used Daisy in a pinch for a dropin visit and she gladly accepted. We're lucky to have someone close by that you can easily tell loves her own pups as much as anyone, definitely recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Montclair
Gabby was so kind and truly attentive with my dogs. She listened carefully to everything I shared about them and made me feel at ease right away. She responded quickly, arranged a meet‑up the day before, and was flexible with her time. My dogs took to her immediately, which says a lot. I felt completely comfortable trusting her with them.

We had an amazing experience! She took such wonderful care of our dog, Georgia, and kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Georgia was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She is kind, reliable, and truly loves animals. We are so grateful for everything she did and would absolutely trust her with Georgia again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!

Samantha was awesome! She was kind, attentive and proactively communicated consistently throughout each visit. She went above and beyond and made sure our fur baby was loved on the entire time we were gone. We know we left our pug in capable and kind hands and we will definitely be reaching out to Samantha the next time we need a chaperone for our pug!

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!

Valeria was a godsend! My holidays plans changed and I needed a pet-sitter last minute. She came through and was so good to my pups! She was very patient with their energetic behavior and updated me with notes and pictures during every visit. Highly recommend!

One of the best experiences I've ever had. Bryce is exceptional and clearly a lover of dogs! He was super attentive and caring. The pictures and text during and after each home visit was above and beyond. I'm really thankful Bryce accepted this job because I can't imagine a better experience.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Montclair stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Montclair with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
