Felix took great care of my cat while I was away! He was super reliable, had great communication, and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me peace of mind. My cat seemed happy and well cared for when I got back. Would definitely book with Felix again!

About: I dog sit two pets in my family, and I have since I was 12. I've owned a cat since I was 8 and since then got another one. Animals are very special to me, I love all animals no matter what they are. I work part time and I'm full time in college. However, I can easily make time for your pet. Their care is more important to me than anything. I no longer live with my cats, but visit them often. I'm very gentle with my cats, and try to play with them often. My cats are older, 9 and 10, so there's not much to do but cuddle and engage in simple play.

Laura provided excellent service and communication regarding our cats while we were gone for 9 days. My 2 senior cats need daily medication (oral pills and topical cream) and Laura was comfortable with this situation. When we booked our vacation, months ago, they didn't need any medication, so finding the right sitter leading up to our time away was stressful for me, but Laura was great and helped me feel more at ease while on our big family vacation. It turned out that one of my cats would hide with each visit, which I'm sure was annoying to manage, but Laura stuck with it. We can't thank her enough for caring for our aging cats!

About: i had learned to take good care of pets from my parents. from discipline(training) to health(proper food/exercise) and love(they didn’t teach me that). You don’t need to worry if your pet is in the right hands i have free time. with that being said i have no problem with taking care of cute pets in the mornings, afternoons or evenings. as long as i am notified a couple days before so i can be completely free for who ever needs it. at my house, i have a backyard fenced up. if they come inside(i have AC) then they would only be downstairs (kitchen, dining room, living room) or in my room upstairs. i don’t have pets at my house. At the clients house, i’ll do the instructions given and i’ll be on my way.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. Lots of experience in caring for dog and dog walking. I also have experience in caring for a pet after surgery and administering medication. I understand how important it is for your dog to be comfortable while you are away from home. I work full-time, but I work from home two days a week. Those days I would be available for dog walking or checking in on your pet. Could do in-home sitting, preferably on weekends, but should be able to fit weekdays schedule also. I would be caring for your pet in your home. This would make them the most comfortable being in their own house. I will try to stick to the same routines that the owner does.

About: I provide loving, attentive care and treat every pet as if they were my own. With a background in caregiving, I’m patient, responsible, and always focused on your pet’s comfort and safety. I currently work morning shifts so your pet will have care before and after work, plus a calm space to relax while I’m away. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and comfort levels to make sure every pet feels secure and stress free. I’m CPR certified and take your pet’s well being seriously. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and your pet the love and care they deserve. Pet care is part of my daily routine with morning walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention and make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for during the day. I follow each pet’s routine, make sure they’re fed, comfortable, safe, and given attention, whether in my home or theirs, with patience, consistency, and care.

About: Book with me. To ensure you have the best sitter for your pup, I provide a safe, warming, calm, fun environment when booked for an overnight stay at my place. Constant walks throughout the day. Always keep about two bowls of water around the house and provide daily morning exercise routines (my morning walks/jogs). I do recommend clients/parents to provide food and treats for dogs and keep me aware of any allergies or habits the pup has. I have no problem buying treats or toys as long as it’s okay with the client/parent. This also goes for traveling to clients/parents homes. As of Doggy Day Care, I do not mind dog sitting more than 2 pup as long as they are 22lbs or less and we’ll trained. I do ask clients/parents if it’s okay to have another families dog around before booking. If not, that’s okay. I will respect your request and book another day with the parent and his/her pup. I will be having open availability after September 29th, 2019 which is my last day with my job. I am currently 21 weeks pregnant and will recommend the parents to book for Doggy Day Care Services and Overnight ONLY.

Mike was communicative, adherent to our schedule, and followed all instructions requested of him. He also sent a ton of pictures, which I really appreciated. It was refreshing to just be able to enjoy my trip knowing that my dog was taken care of. I would absolutely recommend him to others (just not during the times I’m away 😉)

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Perth Amboy

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Perth Amboy on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 25,758 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Perth Amboy. 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 Perth Amboy 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 Perth Amboy. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
