“Caitlin was awesome! She helped us out last minute with a drop-in for Holly and gave her so much love. She is reliable, caring and definitely our go-to sitter. We Highly recommend her! 🐾”
“Willow is amazing, very passionate about animals and it shows with each visit. The pics she sent shows how happy my pets are to see her with every time she drops in! I will certainly have her watch them again!”
About: I've always been a natural caregiver. I've had pets since I was born, took care of my grandmother in her final years, and I take care of patients of all ages everyday as a healthcare worker. My goal is always to look out for the underdog (pun intended). I work at a dental clinic nearby with nights, weekends, and every other Friday off. My 15 minute commute allows me to pop home if I need to let our pup out. I have plenty of time before and after work for walks and snuggles too! I have a fenced in backyard, a super laid back 9 year old lab mix, and two chill cats who pretty much keep to themselves. We have plenty of extra space for crating if need be! And if for some reason your furry friend needs and entirely secluded area, we can provide that as well.
“Brenda was such a wonderful Petsitter! I could not be any happier! She was quick to respond to my last min request (4 weeks of daily drop-ins and care for my cat). We chatted and did a meet and greet shortly after my request. She met my cat, Watson, who warmed up to her immediately. I gave her a run down of the house and Watson’s routine. She did everything I asked, coming in everyday to care for Watson and give him attention. She was easy to reach in case and sent regular updates and photos. I highly recommend her as a Petsitter! I would definitely utilize her services again in the future.”
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! 🐾❤️
“Radyah was great!! Our kitties have a complicated feeding routine because they are naughty and she was awesome about it. Took notes and pictures and gave us really helpful updates while we were away. Highly recommend Radyah’s services for your pets!!”
“Ty was amazing with my two cats! I would highly recommend Ty to anyone who needs a pet sitter. My cats warmed up to Ty so quickly and I could tell Ty really cared for them and it put my mind at ease while I was away!”
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.
About: I think what sets me apart from other people is that I enjoy the cats and dogs company even if they don’t enjoy mine so I give the them a lot of attention and a lot of pets. I also like to make sure that they get an even amount of food because my cats and dog love to eat others food even after eating a lot. Pet care fits into my daily routine by giving my pets food and water in the morning, making sure they have time to exercise and play, and spending time with them throughout the day. Since I only go to school one day a week, I have more time to care for them, keep their environment clean, and give them the attention they need. I also make sure they are fed in the evening and have everything they need before I go to bed. I always give them the love and attention because that’s what a human needs also, I love giving pets, refilling the water bowl because it’s very cute seeing them drink water and I refill their kibble. I also love playing with them with the little toys and brushing their hair because it’s very calming.
“Denisa does such an amazing job and sends the cutest pictures of our cats!! We’re always happy with the job she does and will keep using her when we go out of town!!”
“Laura saved the day and took great care of my fur babies on such short notice. I will definitely be booking with Laura again in the future. Thanks for all the adorable photos!”
“We are grateful to Grace for taking such great care of our cats! She was easy to communicate with and gave us peace of mind while away. We would definitely book again next time!”
“Mohamed watched our pup while we we had dinner at the Erie Yacht Club and was great! Arrived on time, sent photos of our dog during the visit, and was very courteous and pleasant. We will definitely contact him again.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs & cats (literally) my entire life! I’ve taken care of both young and senior pets and I have experience with administering medication orally and through injection as well! I’m a senior in high school, so I have school most weekdays from 9:00-2:10. I also work part time on occasion from 4-9:20 as well as every Sunday 11:30-4:00. I have a big schedule, but I can always find a way around it to take care of your pet 🥰❤️ I have a fenced yard and two german shepards and a domestic shorthair (who stays in my basement.) I have previous experience caring for pets in my home by keeping them in my room that can be locked from the outside (large dog care may be difficult but we can figure something out ☺️.) In your home, I will be sure to leave everything as it was. I will notify you of everything I do in your home. As an anxious person myself with multiple pets, your pets will be safe in my hands 😊
“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.”
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats all my life, they were always a part of our family! Rest assured, your fur babies will be treated as family too! I enjoy being outside so will be sure they get plenty of outdoor time, indoor play time and enrichment, especially for dogs/ cats who need to get that frisky energy out! Any special instructions also will be followed as needed/requested. I have a a lot of flexibility with my schedule and self employed so can make mid day and evening visits easily. My weekends are usually open and can make time as necessary. My cats are family so they are treated with love and respect. Rest assured, your fur babies will be taken care of just as such.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Montclair
Amanda did amazing job with administering subcutaneous fluid to my Yorkie! She took the time to help him feel relaxed before starting the procedure. We found some new ways to make the experience easy on him. I feel more relaxed about the whole procedure as well, seeing how she moves through the process!
Traveling and being away from my cats has always been so hard on me but for the first time ever, I was able to truly relax and enjoy a long trip, and that is all thanks to Mrs. Pamela! She is genuinely one of the best, if not THE best, pet sitters I've ever had. She is incredibly thorough and attentive in her care. She follows and respects every instruction, no matter how detailed or particular. She is quick to respond to messages and not only provides plenty of photos but also the most thoughtful and detailed summaries of each visit. They gave me so much comfort and peace of mind while I was away. My usually shy cats warmed up to her well and it was so reassuring to know they were in such loving and capable hands. Overall, I can't express how grateful I am. She went above and beyond, not just in caring for my cats but in making the entire experience so much easier for me as a pet parent. I truly cannot recommend her enough!!!!
The process with Brenda was very smooth. She was flexible with our relatively last minute booking and the meet and greet went well. She is punctual and followed our exact routine. Most importantly, all 3 of my cats felt very comfortable around her. Will definitely be using her services again in the future!
Lydia dropped in to care for Teddy & Tomi over multiple days, and she was wonderful throughout. She was very communicative and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I truly trust her with my fur babies and appreciate the care, attention, and reliability she showed them. It’s such a comfort knowing Teddy & Tomi are in kind, capable hands with Lydia.
Sandra did a phenomenal job caring for Yema while we were away! She treated her with so much care, kindness, and attention, which gave us great peace of mind during our time away. We especially appreciated the photos she provided with each visit—they allowed us to see how happy and well cared for Yema was. Sandra was dependable, thoughtful, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Montclair is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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.
As of November 2026, there are 13,093 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Montclair. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Montclair. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
