Doggy Day Care in Montclair

“Nancy took such good care of Jasper! My sweet dog is a rescue, and can have pretty severe separation anxiety while I'm away. I was in town for a wedding, and wanted to know that Jasper was well cared for and had someone to hang out with all day. Nancy understood exactly what Jasper needed, and I returned to a happy and relaxed dog. I will definitely book with Nancy again next time we're in town.”

About: Hi! I’m Vanessa — a dedicated pet care professional with hands-on experience in both veterinary and grooming settings. My background has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and comfort, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care for every pup. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments — from playful puppies to gentle seniors — ensuring they feel safe, loved, and right at home while in my care. Geoffrey is my trusted backup who steps in whenever extra help is needed. He assists with feedings, outdoor breaks, and keeping routines consistent. His calm, caring nature helps dogs feel comfortable and secure, ensuring every pup receives the same reliable, loving care. Johanna is our additional backup caregiver, stepping in when both Geoffrey and I are unavailable. She’s gentle, patient, and experienced with small pups and seniors. Johanna helps with feedings, potty breaks, and supervised play, always following our routines to ensure every pup receives the same consistent, loving care. Pet care fits into my routine through a structured day — set feeding times, regular outdoor breaks, and calm play sessions. I keep everything organized so pups stay comfortable and secure. I have a dedicated dog room that is climate-controlled and well-ventilated. I use my best judgment to decide if each pup is comfortable and ready to socialize. Dogs who do well with others enjoy supervised playtime, while those who prefer their own space relax in cozy rest areas with sofas, cushioned mats, and playpens. I’m also gradually adding more crates and gates to create designated gated areas for pups who feel most comfortable in their own private space. I do slow introductions unless a client requests otherwise. Our yard is fully fenced and split into two separate sections so I can separate dogs based on temperament and energy. I’m Pet CPR & First Aid certified, and I always focus on maintaining a calm, safe, and structured environment.

“Jade was absolutely incredible with my 4‑month‑old puppy, Zek. She was patient, on time, flexible, and genuinely loving throughout the entire stay. It’s not easy for a young pup to bond quickly, but Jade and Zek connected in such a short amount of time — and it showed. Her communication was great, her care was thoughtful, and I felt completely at ease knowing Zek was in such good hands. I highly recommend Jade to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond.”

“This was the first time in 12 years I have used a dog sitter, and it will not be the last time because of Rebeca and Roman. They were very responsive from the beginning of the Rover process, and they continued throughout the four days I used their services. Rebeca greeted us every morning and afternoon with a smile. After the first day, Maple could not wait to get to Rebeca, literally jumping from my arms to her arms when we arrived at Rebeca/Roman’s home. I received a daily picture and even a video of Maple during the day. I had no concerns during the four days of daycare because of the pleasant attitude, daily photos, and Maple’s behavior before and after her time with Rebeca and Roman. Overall, a great experience. I will 100% use Rebeca and Roman again!!!”

“Payton loves Tracey and her family. She feels like that is her home away from home. She looks forward to going to Tracey’s everyday I’ve taken her. Although she sometimes misses her kitten brother when they’re playing in the morning. Tracey is consistent and reliable and offers excellent pet care if you need someone to help out with your pet, I would definitely recommend her.”

“Kelly is the best. It was my first time needing someone to help out for a day trip with day care, in the cold and ice... and they not only loved it, but got about 150% of the activity they get at home! 🤣”

“This is our second time booking with Saroj, and I think everything went great. Saroj was very responsive and accommodating, sending us pictures and videos of Chewie throughout the day. We will definitely use Saroj’s services again!”

“As an anxious first time dog momma I was so nervous to leave my pup with anyone. Krystal and her husband made it so easy to leave my sweet boy behind (14 week golden retriever) . I got frequent pictures lots of updates & he loved her dogs! Thank you Krystal for treating my puppy like one of your own!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong love for dogs and hands-on experience in caring for them. Growing up, I always had a dog in my home, and my love for them is truly unconditional. Since childhood, I’ve been responsible for walking, feeding, and looking after my dogs, giving me years of firsthand experience. I’ve cared for four dogs in the past and currently have one, each with their own personality and needs. This experience has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to handle different temperaments. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or simply providing companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own. On weekends, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for your dog. I enjoy spending time playing, going on walks. My flexible schedule allows me to give your dog the attention, exercise, and companionship they need to stay happy and active. I have a spacious backyard where your dog can play and enjoy fresh air. I strictly follow meal time instructions to ensure they stay on their routine and feel at home. Keeping your dog happy and engaged is my priority—I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and affection, so they never feel bored or lonely.I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment tailored to your pet’s needs.

“My dog had a wonderful time with Erin and Guiness! He's apprehensive when meeting new dogs and new people, and Erin was wonderful about being patient with him and letting him warm up to her and to Guiness in his own time. Erin sent lots of photos so I could see how he was doing. I will definitely be choosing Erin for my future dog care needs!”

“We can’t say enough nice things about Michele! In the few months we have had our dog, Michele has visited Kiki on short notice, been flexible enough to move around times and days, picked her up to spend the day at her house and always sends lots of cute pictures! Michele has even helped out with puppies we were fostering and visits our two kitties when we are out of town. Glad we were able to find Michele and really appreciate how well she treats all our animals. Thanks, Michele!!”
