“Very communicative, detailed updates and pictures of my babies! One is a senior and Caitlin was so helpful and patient with her. I’ll be a returning customer. 😊 Thank you for being trust worthy and reliable with our fur babies! It means so much.”

Loved that she updated us with daily with notes and pictures. Extremely flexible with her schedule and was able assist us as first time Rover users ☺️ Thank you soo much!!”

“Samantha was wonderful! We scheduled 3 daily visits for our very social cats and she ket us updated at each visit. Our male Tabby had urinary issues resulting in PU surgery and Samantha made sure Beau drank plenty of water. Our Tuxedo, Poppy, who is notoriously shy even made a couple of appearances while we were gone. Samantha did a great job caring for our babies and we will definitely book her services again!”

“Alyssa is so very sweet and gentle with our furbabies. She’s lovely, uber-reliable (no reminders needed), and absolutely trustworthy! We appreciated communication with feedback about her visits and photos to see that our dogs were OK!”

About: I’m back on Rover for summer break 2026. I’ve taken care of cats and dogs (and fish) since I was a teenager, and had a beloved dog for 13 years who passed away in 2023. I have since adopted a wild little puppy, which is why I can’t do overnights anymore. If drop-ins work for you instead, contact me for a flat daily rate instead of paying for each drop-in. I have volunteered at the humane society and often watch my friends’ pets when they go out of town. I also took care of my dog through multiple knees surgeries and two different types of cancer. I love being able to take care of animals in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable and know their families will be back soon. As a high school counselor, I’m available for drop-ins, walks, crate breaks, and playtime all summer long. If you have a dog or cat who needs a crate break during the day or you just want to have some company or exercise before you get home from work, I’m here for that. I will love on your pets and give them as much attention, play, walks, cuddles, and fun as they want! If your pet is more of a recluse, I can be there for company and to take care of them, while fully respecting their personality. I will follow your directions specifically, because I know how important it is to maintain diet, house rules, meal schedules, bathroom routines, and medication times for a pet’s health and well-being. I prefer to watch pets in their homes because after having a dog, I understand how much less stress it is for them. I’ll take daily pictures (at least) and ask what time of day is best for you to receive them (especially if you’re in a different time zone). I’m happy to watch pets recovering from surgery too, as long as there are clear instructions. This was a challenge I experienced when my dog had surgery and I had to go to work, so I’d be happy to fill that need.
About: Hello, my name is Chase, I am a very active dog lover. I have 2 dogs of my own, one German Shepard & one Lab Mix. I love to play with my dogs every day and they take walks every day as well. I like to be outdoors a lot and can take a short walk or a long walk, whatever the preference the client may want. I work full time but am always off by noon so my schedule is always flexible. I like to keep busy, and what better way then to do so by caring for pets! I hope to be your choice for pet care. Schedule: I have a flexible schedule and can be available after 1pm almost every day for dog walking. Stays: I can be available before and after work to tend to your animal! I currently work full-time. But am always flexible to care for pets any time after 1PM. Whether it be a short or long walk, or a stay over job, I am flexible in these areas. I have a fenced in yard at my house and my dogs also free roam in our front yard and are trained to stay in our front yard. I have watched many dogs in the past and always treat dogs as if they are my own.
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.

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 have taken care of many different dogs in my neighborhood for over 5 years. I have experience with small, medium, and large dogs, as well as multiple dogs at a time. I also live with several pets at home, including a dog and two guinea pigs. I am able to take care of pets any time during the week over the summer. I will be away at university starting in August. I make sure that dogs in my care are given at least two walks a day, as well as exercise and stimulation throughout the day. I also adapt my care to each dog's needs and owner requests.

About: Hi! I’m a responsible dog lover who truly enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also love taking long walks and exploring different trails. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with everything from energetic walks to relaxed companionship at home. I understand how important routines, patience, and attention to detail are—whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, giving medications, or just providing lots of love and playtime. With my background in structured, detail-oriented work, I’m reliable, communicative, and always focused on your dog’s well-being. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure you feel confident and at ease while you’re away. As a full-time school teacher, I’m available for pet care after 4:30 PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. During the workday, there is someone home to let dogs out into the backyard, ensuring they get regular breaks, fresh air, and attention. I prioritize consistency and clear communication, so you’ll always know your pet is being cared for on a reliable schedule. Your dog will be cared for in a safe, loving home with a fully fenced backyard—perfect for supervised outdoor time and play. I also have a friendly 3-year-old pup who loves to play and socialize, making it a great environment for dogs who enjoy companionship. Inside, dogs are treated like family, with plenty of attention, comfort, and a calm, structured environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs, whether they prefer playtime, relaxation, or a mix of both.
“I’ve worked with Megan twice now and absolutely appreciate her help so much! She continues to go above and beyond and I plan on continuing to work with her! Thank you so much!”

“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!”

“Melissa was fantastic. She showed up on time every day and gave my cat lots of love while I was out of town for work. She provided pictures of her and her food, giving me peace of mind while I was away that she was being taken care of. I highly recommend Melissa for watching after your pets.”

Montclair pet parents share their Rover experiences
Pam ws so thoughtful and receptive to changes in ourr itinerary due to a death in the family. She was very caring and observant with regard to our cat. Everything about our interactions was totally professional and affable. I will be requesting her every time I can for future cat sitting.

Stephanie was great with Scout my senior.cat. Her communication was excellent We were traveling and there were many occasions when I did not have cell service. Stephanie was patient with us and responsive to any requests we made. We will definitely call on her again!
Skyler is a pet pro! Our family highly recommends her to anyone seeking care for their kitties. She is a great communicator and took excellent care of our babies while we were out of town. We got lots of pictures of our kitties, and it shows that they adore Skyler. One of our kitties is elderly and requires daily oral injections, which Skyler gave him with ease. We’d love to have Skyler back when we travel again.

Iqra was absolutely amazing with my cats! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and reliable the entire time. She kept me updated, made sure my cats were comfortable, loved, and well taken care of, and truly treated them like her own. She even went out of her way to bring wet food for them, which was such a thoughtful and kind gesture. You can genuinely tell how much she loves animals. I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were in such good hands. I would highly recommend Iqra to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and loving cat sitter! 🐾💕

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 🐾😄
