About: I provide loving, personalized care for your pets and home while you’re away. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and give them the attention and care they’re used to. I’m happy to care for puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs, including playtime, potty-training support, medication reminders, and lots of extra love. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, young, or elderly, I’ll treat them like family. I’ll also respect your home, keep things tidy, and send regular updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. I currently work full time but with a very flexible schedule that will fit around your pets needs. My normal working hours are Monday-Friday 8am-5pm with a lunch to fit in extra pet snuggles, care and walks. On the weekends, I only regularly attend church either from 8am-11:30am or 9:30am-1pm, it would just depend on your needs. While I’m in your home your pets will be treated with the same amount of care I would provide a child. I’m able to follow your pets normal routine. I’m able to take them on a walk or play with them in the yard, need them to go to a spa day I’m down! If you need many pictures because sometimes we need that reassurance, no problem.

“Kerry was very patient and understanding of our reactive dog while watching our cat as well, and she did a great job with him. Communication and punctuality were excellent and she was receptive to any feedback or suggestions about the dog. She even committed to an additional meet and greet to help make him more comfortable for the pet sitting.”

About: I’m a lifelong pet owner with years of experience caring for animals and homes. I know pets are family, and I take my role as their temporary favorite human pretty seriously! I have experience with special needs pets and am comfortable giving medications, managing special feeding routines, and respecting very strong opinions about where to nap. If your pet needs care that’s new to me, I’m happy to learn and follow your instructions closely. My goal is to help you relax while you’re away, knowing your pets are getting thoughtful care, plenty of affection, and regular reminders that they’re the cutest creatures on the planet. I am currently wide open and looking to help out whenever it is needed. Until further notice I can be available any day, any time. I have three cats, and my senior kitties each have their own needs. One of my girls has asthma, so giving her an inhaler is part of our routine. I’ve also owned dogs and other animals, so my love definitely goes beyond cats! My cats have very different personalities, and they’re a daily reminder that every pet needs their own kind of care and attention. Some want snuggles, some want playtime, and some would appreciate it if you respected their very important personal space. I love meeting new pets and taking the time to earn their trust. When caring for your pets, I’ll follow their usual routines and your instructions for meals, medications, and daily care. I’ll pay attention to what makes them comfortable and let them warm up at their own pace. Whether they want a cuddle buddy or just some quiet company, I’m happy to be their person while you’re away.

About: As a dog sitter, I specialize in personalized care tailored to each dog's needs. Whether it's training puppies, providing specialized care for seniors, or simply offering companionship, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of every furry friend in my care. On weekends, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my routine, considering the needs of my own two dogs alongside those of any additional pets under my care. This involves coordinating activities to ensure each dog receives individualized attention, exercise, and affection. From group walks to supervised playtime and separate feeding schedules, I prioritize harmony and balance to create a positive and enriching environment for all furry companions. In both my home and clients' homes, I offer comprehensive pet care tailored to the specific needs of each furry friend. This includes regular feeding, exercise, playtime, grooming, and administering any necessary medication. Additionally, I maintain a clean and safe environment, provide companionship, and follow any special instructions provided by the pet owner. Whether it's overnight stays, daily visits, or dog walking services, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of every pet entrusted to my care.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats around me for most of my life, from growing-up on a farm in Maryland to working large animal husbandry at the Virginia Tech Veterinary School to sharing a 1-bedroom studio with two cats in Roanoke City, and I’ve always loved all animals. All! Right now, I have one dog and three cats of my own, and they are very much part of my family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. I enjoy walks, playtime, and just hanging out with them and giving them attention. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets when you’re away, and I’ll care for yours just like I care for my own. I’m currently in the process of my Pet-CPR/First Aid certification. I’m working a flexible schedule (as a Referee). When I’m at work, Nalini (my wife), will be there at home with your pet. So, your pet would never be there alone day or night. The most respect, care, compassion, and hugs!! There’s separate pet living spaces in my house for accommodating your pets needs, and we have a friendly and vaccinated dog.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was younger. It began with dog sitting until I convinced my parents to allow us to get our own dog. We now have 3 dogs and I have a cat on my own. I also worked at a doggy day care where I took care of up to 20-30 dogs alone at times. I love animals of all kinds and would love to help people would may not have the most time or availability some days to give their pet optimal care! I just graduated college and am looking for a part-time job in the mean time before I start graduate school in the summer. I have full availability all days as of right now. I live in a small apartment so I cannot offer to take pets into my own home at this time. I will be able to go to owner’s homes and feed, walk, accompany their pets for however long they may need.

About: Growing up with large breeds (Bernese Mountain Dog & German Shepard), I’ve always been a lover of all pets, especially dogs. Since relocating to Blacksburg area for work 8 years ago, I’ve pet sat for a variety of animals in the region, ranging from puppies to senior dogs with specific medical needs. It would be an honor to meet and care for your pets! I work full time at VT with some remote days per week, so it can be a flexible schedule. I am happy to adjust schedules or remote days to meet your pets needs! I don’t have any pets in my current home, so I’m flexible to either board at my townhouse or stay at the pets home! I offer both options to all families and willing to drive up to an hour distance.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Montvale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 615 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Montvale. 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 Montvale. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
