“Ashley was great and she and our dog instantly bonded. She was always early and took great care of Dakota. She finds ways to challenge Dakota's mind each visit keeping it new and refreshing for our boy. We continue to be pleased with the service provided, and it seems both Dakota and Ashley look forward to their time spent together!”
About: I’ve mostly taken care of small creatures on my lifetime. I used to own parakeets and currently I own a leopard gecko whom I absolutely adore! I always wanted to own cats and/or dogs growing up but I’ve never been allowed to do that because my mom is irrationally afraid of both. I used to own a kitten but we had to give it away because my mom thought she could handle it but she was just too scared of it. I’ve taken care of other people’s cats and dogs before and I get along well with all animals! Since I’m unemployed, I am free anytime other than Saturday and Sunday mornings. Saturday I have classes from 10 am to 12 pm and Sundays I have church from 9 am to 11 am. I unfortunately do not CURRENTLY have anything that is specifically catered to dogs or cats in my house or yard, as I do not own either at the moment. I can certainly do my absolute best to cater to your animal’s needs, however!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including overnight stays where I have looked after up to 6 dogs at once! I am responsible, patient, and great at following specific instructions to make sure each dog gets the care they need. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I enjoy spending time with dogs, playing with them, and making sure they are happy and well taken care of while their owners are away. 🐾❤️ I’m currently a college student at George Mason University, and I don’t have a part-time job, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I have plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for pets, whether that includes walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own homes! I’m responsible, respectful of others’ homes, and great at following instructions. I’ll stick to your pet’s normal routine and give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away! 🐾❤️
“Daniella was wonderful! Caring, prompt, enthusiastic, communicative, and great with my pooch. My dog was so excited to see her each visit. I recommend her wholeheartedly!”
“Christina has been a great help for us with our new puppy and older dog who are both challenging in their own way! She is prompt, professional, and both of our dogs love her. If you are looking for a dog walker with impeccable credentials and cares about every dog she sees, please contact Christina!”
About: My name is Patric A. and I come originally from Stockholm, Sweden. I have grown up with pets all my life (mostly dogs) since I was a little baby. I just love being around animals. I have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, birds, horses for friends and family because they know they can trust their pet with me. I am right here in Prince William County to take care of your pet while you are out of town. We will keep you updated while you are gone so you know that your pet is safe and in good hands while you are away. We will take notes on your routines and how you take care of your pet so it will feel that their lives have not changed too much while you are gone. I am walking dogs and pet sitting on a full time basis and have plenty of time to stop by and walk, play or feed your pet I offer pet sitting in your home and take notes of how you would like me to take care of your pet, if it is playing, feeding, giving medication, or any routines that you might have.
“We love Melissa! She is always taking such good care of our two dogs and is so communicative with us through her detailed reports. By far the best dog walker in the region. Will continue to book with her!!!”
About: I have worked with puppies and senior dogs. I can train with basic commands. I am patient. I have experience working with lots of different meds. I am a massage therapist with a flexible schedule. Looking to get a little more work doing something else. I don't mind giving your fur friend a little massage too I do everything for my rabbit and dog at home. Feed them, play, give meds, clean things you name it. I would do what was needed for your pet.
“she was so sweet and kept me informed. when i was sick in bed she was so quiet and Ali was able to get some energy out. she always walked her the whole time and got a mile in.”
About: I had the honor to be chosen by my baby when he was no bigger than my hand. I cared for him as he was my human baby. I babysat his twin sister in many occasions and enjoyed having both of them together. Friends have trusted me with their babies while away on trips. Although my baby is now gone, his memory is very alive in my house. I can provide care for diabetic dogs, glucose checks, insulin injections, nail trimming, eye drops, etc. I do not have a fence yard, but I have a dog park within walking distance from the house, and a very walkable neighborhood. I am able to care for furry babies in the evening, most weekends and most holidays. Unfortunately my schedule keeps me busy during the day. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a community dog park at walking distance. The neighborhood is very walkable. My home is clean and safe. Your baby will not be in a crate unless you specifically ask. I will play and cuddle your baby so that your absence is not on their mind constantly during his visit.
“Brianna was communicative, kind and clearly took wonderful care of our pup! She provided thorough details about her time with our doggo and the pictures were proof of just how happy our little one was in her care. 5/5, 10/10 and any other top ratings we could share 🌟”
“She was easy to communicate with, responsive, and accommodating with scheduling. She was also friendly and approachable, which made coordinating everything a smooth and pleasant experience. We appreciated her availability and flexibility and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker!”
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: 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

“Alexandra was so loving and patient with Scuba. I can totally see why she’s so well reviewed.

Toni was wonderful with Ana and Elsa! She was very patient and caring, especially with Ana, who can sometimes be a little stubborn during her walks. 😊 I really appreciated how attentive and understanding Toni was with both of them. I would definitely recommend her!
I could not have found for a better sitter for my baby girl Ivy. Ivy has a lot of anxiety and Kat jump right In, understood and gave ivy for extra care and love she needed while I was out of town. She is truly a fur baby caregiver. I will use her again for my next trip. I would advise anyone looking for a sitter to reach out to her. She's my first experience with Rover and has truly made me a return customer. Kat you have truly touch my heart with the cure you and your husband gave Ivy. THANK YOU 😊
Stephen did a great job on his first walk with Ana and Elsa! He was punctual, attentive, and made sure they were comfortable right away. It’s always a bit nerve wracking trusting someone new, but he handled everything with care and professionalism. We’re very happy and look forward to more walks with him!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Montclair is $18 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Montclair. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Montclair after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Montclair. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
