“This was our Zeno’s first time staying anywhere without us. At first, Zeno was a little nervous but adjusted fine after a while. You can tell William is good with dogs. He was patient, kind and reassured us that Zeno would be in good hands. William sent photos of Zeno hanging out in the back yard and updated me on the stay. I’d definitely book with William again.”

“This was the first time I was apart from my dog for more than two days and the first day that I left the dog with a non relative. It was great to have someone as responsive and responsible as Vincent taking care of my dog. It is clear that Vincent loves dogs and does a great job taking care of them. When I picked my dog up it was clear he had a good week, was healthy, well fed and very happy.”

“Maureen and her family were amazing and took such great care of our boy. I received videos And pictures daily and sweet little messages. Will definitely be using her again and referring those who are in need of a sitter they can trust. Thank you Maureen ?”

“So thankful for Nan and her family for their loving care and love for Ichigo! She sent me updates along with photos and videos throughout the stay which gave me a big relief. She was content and calm when I came to pick her up, I can tell that she received plenty love and attention.”

“I’m thrilled with the care Dhruvit provided for my dog. They have a great fenced yard and kept me updated with adorable pictures throughout the week. Their genuine love for animals was clear, and my dog was happy and well-cared-for. Highly recommend them!”

“Excelente servicio! Cuidaron a Buddy por varios días con Natalie y Ilian. Buen trabajo y cuido realizaron son personas responsables amables y cariñosas. Comunicación constante y fotos/videos de cada día.”

“This was the first time since my boys were born in 2018 that they were dogsat by anyone else other than family and it was perfect. Bonnie and her family were fantastic. They kept my boys comfortable while I was away for a week and kept in constant touch to give updates and adorable photos so I could see how they were doing throughout the day. 100% would rebook in the future. Thanks Bonnie and Yee!”

About: Always happy to send updates so you know your pup is doing great. I respect your pet routine. Every visit and walk will be treated with patience, safety and lots of attention. My work schedule allows me time for weekday evening walks between 6 PM and 8 PM, perfect for after-work potty breaks or relaxing evening strolls. I'm available on weekends from 8 AM to 5 PM. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your dog is comfortable and happy. I’m especially gentle and patient with puppies and senior dogs. Your dog will be in good hands.
“Yvette is amazing. She sent lots of pictures and was very attentive to my dogs. Her home is clean and has lots of space for the dogs to roam. Very happy with her service. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I'm Ashlee! 🐾 Thank you for stopping by my profile! I know choosing someone to care for your pet is a big decision because they're so much more than "just a dog", they're family. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for every step of the way. I offer: 🐶 Dog boarding 🏡 House sitting 🚶 Dog walking 🦴 Drop-in visits Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, sticking to a routine, or simply relaxing on the couch, I'll tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. I share my home with my Mini Bernedoodle, Finnley, who has taught me just how unique every dog can be. Caring for him has shown me the importance of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and paying attention to the little things that help a dog feel safe and at home. I'm also comfortable with: 💊 Administering oral medications 🐾 Caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors ❤️ Providing individualized care based on your pet's routine and needs Communication is one of my top priorities. You'll receive regular photo and video updates throughout your booking, along with prompt responses if you ever want to check in. I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether your pet is staying overnight, going for a walk, or just needs a drop-in visit while you're at work, I'll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want someone to give Finnley. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! If you have any questions or would like to schedule a meet and greet, don't hesitate to reach out. I can't wait to meet you both 🐶❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I have my own Mini Bernedoodle, Finnley! My schedule naturally revolves around walks, feeding times, playtime, enrichment, and making sure he gets plenty of attention throughout the day. When caring for your pet, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, providing regular potty breaks, going on walks, or simply spending quality time together, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I carefully plan my schedule around the pets I'm caring for and always make their safety, comfort, and well-being my top priority. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I believe the best care starts with getting to know each pet as an individual, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to make their time with me feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I use positive reinforcement, patience, and gentle handling to help pets feel comfortable and build trust. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and just as you left it. I also know how important communication is, so you can expect regular photo and video updates throughout your pet's stay, along with prompt responses if you have any questions or would like to check in. Whenever possible, I like to schedule a complimentary meet and greet before a first booking. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, discuss your pet's routine and needs, and make sure everyone feels comfortable before their stay. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet and to feel completely confident that they were cared for like family.
“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!”

“We had such a great experience with Lineth! She watched Bruno for a couple of days while we were out of state and took amazing care of him. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, gave us frequent updates, and truly treated him like he was her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Billy is hands down the Dog Whisperer — and that headline is no exaggeration! He’s the best of the best. My 5-month-old Maltipoo puppy, Einstein, was treated like royalty while my family and I were away on holiday. Billy kept us smiling the whole trip with constant pictures and videos of Einstein — whether it was him strutting around the park, enjoying his meals, or just being his playful self. It honestly felt like Einstein was on his own little vacation! Billy even went the extra mile by gently removing some knots from his fur and washing his things before giving him back to us. He was super polite with my whole family, always cheerful, and gave us updates whenever we asked (sometimes a couple of times a day). Einstein got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles — it was obvious he was being cared for as if he were Billy’s own pup. On top of all that, Billy’s rates are very competitive, which makes the level of care he provides feel like an incredible find. We’ll 100% be booking him again as repeat clients. If you want someone who will love your pup like family, look no further — Billy really is the Dog Whisperer! 🐾✨”

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!

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.
