“Cherish was great with my dog. I got loads of pictures and was really happy with how well she cared for my dog. Dog boarding can be difficult, but cherish made it easy and it allowed me to enjoy my vacation worry free. I highly recommend cherish.”
“I would highly recommend Vincent as a dog sitter. Daisy had a meet and greet a month ago and I could see then that Vincent was very experienced with dogs, was kind and gentle, and he made Daisy feel comfortable. As Vincent was sitting another dog during Daisy’s stay when we arrived at his house he was waiting in front with the other dog so Daisy could get to know him before going in the house. It gave me a sense of comfort knowing Daisy would be OK. Vincent gave me updates during Daisy’s stay which I appreciated.I would not hesitate using his services again if needed.”
“Bhavani is THE most WONDERFUL pet sitter EVER!!! The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job and her furry clients are just a few shining examples of her superior work ethic. We were gone for four days and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there giving the best of care to Milo. There is a thorough interview before she takes the job and everything is covered to insure the best quality care will be given to your pets. I would definitely consider leaving my pet again with her if we go away on vacation .”
“Joes is a very good care taker for puppies. We appreciate so much he was able to take care our dog for the week while we are not available. Our dog did get along with his own puppies and his family members. We were able to see pictures of our puppy every day, and Joes had scheduled time for the puppy to spend time outside in his private backyard. I would recommend anyone who needs dog boarding services.”
“Ekaterina and her family were amazing with our puppy. Lots of pictures and communication during the stay. She took excellent care of the puppy and puppy clearly enjoyed her visit. We would highly recommend Ekaterina and would love to have to watch our puppy again.”
“Nervana was absolutely incredible!! This was the first time I ever left Chloe who is 11 years old with anyone. I was terrified but she gave the best reassurance . She sent me videos as well as constant text updates . The love that she gave my dog was so endearing. I would definitely recommend her, if I could give 20 stars I would!!! I will definitely choose her again to watch my dog . Nervana is the sweetest ❤️”
“We had a wonderful experience! Cocoa was so well cared for, and it was clear he felt happy, comfortable, and loved. Their whole family, including the kids, was involved in caring for him, which made for such a warm and welcoming environment. We really appreciated the updates and the attention they gave him. We’d absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
About: I am a caring, patient, and responsible person who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I am attentive to details, follow instructions carefully, and can provide reliable feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and basic daily care. I am also comfortable being patient with shy or anxious pets and understand the importance of maintaining their routines. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I can plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and other needs to ensure pets receive consistent care and attention. I am organized, dependable, and committed to making sure every pet feels comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are in a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and any special needs. I always supervise pets, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure they have access to fresh water, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also believe in keeping owners updated with messages and pictures so they can feel confident and at ease knowing their pets are in good hands.
“I highly recommend Primavera without any hesitation. She went over and beyond to ensure that my dogs were comfortable despite their ‘anxious and nervous’ behaviors. She was very patient with them. She also kept me updated with pictures and video. I will surely be a repeat customer.”
“Gio and Starry were absolutely incredible! This was our first time using Rover and they made the entire experience feel so easy, comfortable, and reassuring. They sent so many photos and thoughtful updates, which meant the world to me. I could truly see how loved and cared for Phoenix was the whole time.”
“Last night was my first night away from my 4 month old puppy. Even though my pup did great on our meet and great I was very anxious about leaving her. Bob knew my husband and I were celebrating our 25 year wedding anniversary and made sure we relaxed and enjoyed ourselves but sending periodic updates with pics. When we picked up our puppy today she just woke up from a nap on Bob's lap. She was happy to see us but in no rush to leave. Bob will now be watching her for 10 nights in the summer and I couldn't be happier. I am 100% confident that I found the perfect sitter for my little girl. Thank you again Bob!!!”

“Susana was a Godsend for me. She was able to watch my dog over the Christmas holiday. I don't know what I would have done without her. Her home is just perfect for accommodating a large dog and the house was spotless. Her natural love for dogs was event in our meet and greet and my dog was overly thrilled to return to her home. I was a little nervous having someone watch my Gustav, but she put me at ease, sent pictures and played fetch with my dog. She also walked him and took him to the dog park. Without a doubt, I will be using Susana again in the future. I am so glad that I found her. She is also very conveniently off the GSP, which was another plus. Thank you again, Susana, for all you do.”
“Radwa was the absolute best and super accommodating. We contacted Radwa because my fiance, (now wife) were getting married and our pup was the ring bearer and we needed her to pick him up from the venue after the ceremony. She was great and everything went as planned. Thank you Radwa!!!”
“Mary was excellent with my dog for an overnight stay, she gave constant feed back and photos. I was most impressed was that she took the trouble to come to my house 2 days prior to know the dogs personality and get familiarised. I would definitely try Mary again and highly recommend her.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Perth Amboy
Bill took wonderful care of my dog, Polly, during a recent stay. Polly adored him right away. Throughout her stay, Bill was extremely attentive, kept me updated constantly, and sent photos every day. I truly appreciate his attentiveness and genuine care for Polly, and I would not hesitate to book with him again.
Sharisbel was so patient with my Louis. She even has a dog of her own and they got along so good. Louis did get emotional because he missed us but Sharisbel was very patient, made sure she walked him played with him and showed him love. We will definitely be re-booking in the future. Thank you soooo much. You are the best!
We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! They were reliable, caring, and attentive to our dog’s needs. They kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would definitely recommend them and would happily book with them again!
Our dog sitter was absolutely amazing! She treated my dog like her own baby and gave him so much love and attention. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She even introduced him to her dogs, and they had a great time together. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommend!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Perth Amboy can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Perth Amboy home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Perth Amboy.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Perth Amboy. On Rover:

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.

You and your Perth Amboy sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
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 NJ 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
