“Stefanie took great care to see that my cats' needs were met while I was away. The photos in the report card helped me feel at ease as well. Stefanie is a fabulous fur-baby sitter!”
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.
“Melissa was amazing doing a drop-in visit for our four doggies while we were out all day! We have one dog who is pretty shy as she was feral, and I loved seeing a photo where she actually was by Melissa! Shows us Melissa has great vibes and energy, and when the dogs approve, so do us humans! Thank you so much Melissa!!💜”
“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! 🐾”
“Samantha S is a very professional and kind young woman who is very quick to respond back, she did a meet and greet with our dogs first, and provided us all the information we needed to proceed with a 1hr drop in. Our dogs felt so comfortable with Samantha. They definitely got good vibes from her and so did we. We will definitely be booking with Samantha from now on.”
About: What sets me apart is my 15 years of hands-on experience caring for and raising pets. Growing up surrounded by animals taught me how to understand their body language, recognize their needs, and make them feel safe and comfortable. I'm responsible, reliable, and respectful of your home, and I'm committed to keeping it secure while ensuring your pets stay happy, loved, and relaxed in their normal routine while you're away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I currently have a highly flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I have plenty of open time to dedicate to your pets and am very adaptable based on what you and your animal need. I always keep my availability calendar completely updated so you know exactly when I am free! When I'm watching pets, keeping them safe is always my main focus. I always make sure to follow all the owner's rules exactly, double-check that all the doors and gates are locked tight,and maintain a clean, hazard-free environment. I make sure pets are well-supervised, fed on time, and treated with the same love and respect I give my own animals.
“Amanda did a great job with our old lady cat. Amanda gave her lots of attention and was very communicative with us. She made sure everything was clean and tidy when we got home, which we very much appreciated.”
“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!”
“William started weekly stop ins for my dog Dakota and working with him has been fantastic. He’s responsive and professional and very sweet with my dog. Dakota looks forward to her walks.”
“Alexandra was awesome! My kitties looked happy and healthy when we returned. I received regular reports and updates. She even went above and beyond and brought in our mail and packages, some of which were very heavy. I will most definitely be using her services again!”
“Great communication, We asked Ty to drop in on our very skittish cats for a week and they went above and beyond watering our snake as well! By the end of the week one of them was eating out of their hand.”
“We used Daisy in a pinch for a dropin visit and she gladly accepted. We're lucky to have someone close by that you can easily tell loves her own pups as much as anyone, definitely recommend!”
About: I LOVE animals and just want more time with them. I can manage strong dogs as mine are and also am used to high anxiety dogs as I have one of those too. I am eager to live on your fur babies in your absence I work full time but only have my kids 50% of the time which leaves me a lot of free time to help watch your pets. Even if I have my kids, they love animals too I can walk dogs, let them out in the yard, can clean litter boxes and play/pet them. I can give meds if your pet will use pill pockets
“This was my first time using Rover, I also needed a dog sitter really last minute so I was pretty nervous but Brenda put me at absolute ease with clear communication from the start. My dog is kind of a handful because she’s only 9 months old & this was the first time she had been taken care of by a stranger but I don’t think there could have been someone better than Brenda. She understood all the details, asked the right questions during our virtual meet & greet, & provided me with all the useful information I needed to have as a first time user. She took such good care of my pup, we will definitely book her again. Thank you so much Brenda for being so accommodating & kind, we had a wonderful experience.”
“Radyah was responsive, communicative, and flexible when I needed a last minute cat sitter due to a family emergency. She took amazing care of my sweet girl Faith while I was away! Thank you so much! 10/10”

Thank you so much for taking care of my Georgia! She always made sure Georgia was busy playing, getting lots of pets and love, so she wouldn’t miss us too much while we were away. Everything was clean and organized when we came back. We really appreciate all the care she gave Georgia. I definitely recommend her and would book with her again! 🐾❤️
Pamela did a great job taking care of my cat, WiFi. She was responsive, reliable, and sent me really detailed updates while I was away. WiFi is pretty shy with new people, and I gave Pamela a few suggestions for trying to make friends with him. She was happy to humor me and actually managed to win him over by the end of the stay. He was coming out to see her, accepting pets, and generally getting much more comfortable around her. She had no problems giving him his medication or taking care of everything else he needed, and I came home to everything in good shape. She even put up with the less-than-ideal guest parking situation at my building with grace. I’d absolutely book Pamela again and would especially recommend her to anyone with a shy or cautious cat. WiFi can be a tough customer, so the fact that she got him to warm up to her says a lot.
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.
We had an amazing experience! She took such wonderful care of our dog, Georgia, and kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Georgia was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She is kind, reliable, and truly loves animals. We are so grateful for everything she did and would absolutely trust her with Georgia again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!
Melissa took wonderful care of my two dogs and was reliable, communicative, and professional throughout the week while I was traveling. She even handled a few unexpected messes with kindness and without hesitation, which I truly appreciated. I came home to two happy dogs and would absolutely book Melissa again!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Montclair on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 13,254 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Montclair. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Montclair stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
