“Great communication and dog sitters. They watched our dog and sent us updates with photos every day. Our dog loves kids and their little one even cuddled with her (aw). Would highly recommend and use them again!”
“My husband and I have been using Will as our personal Rocco sitter. My dog Rocco loves going to Wills, spending time with him when we have to travel for work, or back home to Boston. Will always sends me updates, and pictures of Rocco through out his stay. If you are looking for a reliable sitter. Will is your guy!”
“I 100% recommend Dhruvit and his amazing family! They’re super friendly and incredibly patient with dogs — you can really feel how much they care. From the start, they were happy to set up a meet and greet so we could get to know each other, which made us feel very comfortable right away. Elsa had the best time staying with them — she was happy and well taken care of the whole time! Dhruvit sent us lots of photos and always replied really quickly, which made us feel super reassured. He also paid close attention to Elsa’s habits and followed all our instructions perfectly. Elsa is a super high-energy dog who needs lots of exercise, and Dhruvit made sure she got plenty of walks and playtime every day. We’re so glad we found them! They’re truly wonderful people, and we’d definitely love to book with them again in the future.”
“Vincent was amazing. Very responsive and helpful. Had a meet and greet and a boarding. Puppy had a great time overnight, went on walks and was taken care of well. Provided pictures during the stay. Thanks.”
“Bhavani handles puppies like a pet owner with care and affection. Bhavani took great care of Benny. She regularly sent pics and videos, which was very reassuring. She spent time playing with him and made sure he was well cared for throughout. I especially appreciated how she helped Benny socialize—he was happy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend her as a dogsitter.”
“Paul & Kathryn took great care of Tyson and sent me many pictures, he really enjoyed being with them and their children. I had no concerns leaving him in their care and will continue to reach out them as needed...”
“Honey was very comfortable with Jaimie during his almost 2 week stay. This was his second or third visit here. Jaimie is very responsive and sends regular updates on his food and activities. Honey looked happy making new friends and enjoying his time. I will definitely recommend Jaimie for her dog sitting services.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who understands that your pets aren't just animals—they are family. I know how important it is to have absolute peace of mind when you are away from home, which is why I focus on providing a structured, safe, and loving environment for every dog I care for. Pet care is a true family affair in our household! Because I partner directly with my mother, we are able to offer round-the-clock, highly flexible care that fits seamlessly into any pet's routine. While I manage a structured schedule during the day, my mother has excellent daytime availability to ensure pets are never left lonely, missed a potty break, or skipped a feeding. I am fully available every evening and all weekend long. This tag-team approach means your furry family member gets the absolute best of both worlds: constant companionship and supervision during the day, and dedicated exercise, walks, and playtime in the evenings and weekends. Someone is almost always home, making our schedule incredibly reliable! I have a fenced backyard and an in ground pool to keep your pups cool during the summer. I also have my own 3 dogs who are all friendly and welcoming.
“Harleny was an awesome dog sitter. She took care of Ruby as if she was her own fur baby. Ruby also loved her a lot. She also shared lots of pictures and videos, which made me feel so happy and felt she was in safe hands even if we were miles away from her. Will definitely reach out to her on our next vacation.”
“Bonnie and her wonderful family took great care of our Leo while we were on vacation. They followed his usual routine to ensure he was comfortable in a new setting. It took Leo a few days to adjust but after that he was his usual playful and relaxed self with them. Bonnie also provided timely updates and pictures of Leo so we had no worries while we were away. We would happily have them take care of Leo again!”
“Elvis, our Cavapoo puppy, had a lovely time at Yvette’s! Elvis was well taken care of at her place. She sent us videos and photo updates throughout the stay and even baked cookies doggie for him. He went for a long walk and loved it. He had the best time and he was so happy there thank you so much could not recommend it highly enough. He got so much love and attention ….We will be back soon!!!”
“Natalia and David are amazing! I have an unpredictable rescue pup and he was SO happy staying with them. I was so relieved. My dog had fun running around the back yard, going for long walks, and playing several times a day. Thank you for showering my boy with so much love ❤️”
“Yanina was great! She kept us informed and updated throughout our puppy's stay with her, and was very flexible with our pick up/drop off schedule. Our puppy had a lot of fun and exercise while with Yanina and her dog, Stella. Would definitely be back for future boarding needs!”
“Our Brooke stayed by Radwa while we were off on a family vacation for 7 days. Brooke was very well taken care of and a very happy girl when we got home. She loves Radwa, her family and her pups. It’s nice to be away and not have to worry about your beloved pup. We highly recommend Radwa.”
“Saty took wonderful care of Gemini while I was away on vacation. He kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos and was always quick to respond whenever I reached out. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Gemini was being cared for with the same love and attention as if he were his own dog. I would absolutely book with Saty again.”
“Mohita was really a very compassionate detail oriented sitter. Romeo had the best time as he had coco to play with Mohita family treated him as family. He felt he was at home. We had a worry free vacation as Mohita kept us updated on Romeo with pictures and how he was doing with his diet and other activities. Overall we can’t expect anything more from Mohita and family.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Amboy
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!
Sobia was the first person I had left my dog with in years. She is awesome. She sent me pictures and a recap everyday of what she did with my boy. She cared for him just like he was her own. I felt so comfortable being away and knowing that someone as kind and caring as Sobia was taking care of my dog. I am going to recommend her to everyone and to anyone who uses the rover app. Thank you Sobia for taking care of my baby!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Amboy on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 12,615 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across South Amboy. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of South Amboy sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which South Amboy landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their South 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 South 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.
You and your South 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.
