“Your pup will have a great time at Ms Jessica's! She is a pleasure to work with - clear, communicative, prompt and provides a fun and enriching time for the dogs in her care. My dog has GRRRREAT time when stays with her! He comes home happy and tired each time.”
About: I’ve spent years taking care of pets—from shy seniors to high-energy pups—and I really take the time to get to know what each one needs to feel happy and comfortable. I’m super patient, and I love finding the little things that make each pet light up, whether that’s a favorite toy or a long walk! My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and totally at home while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins, so giving pets consistent care fits really smoothly into my day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening chill time, I make sure each pet gets the attention and structure they’re used to. Even on busy weeks, I carve out dedicated time so every animal I’m caring for gets patience, affection, and a routine that feels familiar to them. I listen to you. In my home, I keep pets on their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. If I’m at a client’s home, I follow their rules and their pet’s normal schedule so everything feels familiar.
About: I took care of all 3 of my Dad's Rottweilers, loved them all until they passed. I have 2 boys 10 & 6 who are eager for a dog, so this will be a good opportunity to acquaint them with a loving breed. I look forward to experiencing the joys and happiness of caring for your dog, with a genuine love of friendship. I call myself the MANny...I work from home, and the primary stay at home caretaker of my boys as my wife runs the day to day of our counseling practice. My schedule is very flexible to walk and play with your dog frequently. I have a fenced yard, and believe in letting manageable pets roam free. However, I have ample space indoors to crate your fur friend as needed.
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, giving me 15 years of hands-on experience across all breeds and sizes. From large, powerful breeds like Rottweilers, Pitbulls, and Great Danes to spirited Schnauzers and my current 4-year-old French Bulldog, I understand how to adjust my care to every dog's unique personality and energy level. Whether your pup needs confident, experienced handling on walks or gentle, focused attention, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Pet care is my top priority! I manage my schedule carefully to ensure every dog gets full attention, frequent bathroom breaks, and daily exercise. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or house sitting, I have flexible availability to match your dog's exact daily routine. Having raised dogs my whole life—from large breeds like Great Danes and Pitbulls to smaller pups like my Frenchie—I prioritize safety above all else. In your home, I keep the environment secure, strictly follow all feeding and leash protocols, and provide frequent updates and photos so you have total peace of mind.
“Rebecca took care of my two fur babies, Melo and Lola for 10 days while we were away on vacation. She sent pictures and videos on a daily basis. Couldn’t ask for better care.”
“Tracey is our life saver! We can always count on her to watch our fur baby, Bix. Bix always looks happy with tail wagging when we pick her up, giving Tracey a few hops and kisses before we take her home. Thank you, Tracey, for taking such good care of our dog.”
“We were SUPER pleased with Saroj as a sitter for our pup! Her house and grounds are BEAUTIFUL and she and her husband were lovely, kind people. If you are looking for a superb and safe place for your pets, book with Saroj! PS: IKEA is very near Saroj's house!”
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.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Montclair commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 4,132 sitters in Montclair, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
