“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.”
“Jonathan & Rebecca were wonderful dog sitters of my 7 month old puppy. They kept in communication and allowed her to run around and play as well as soothe her when she was anxious. They sent me pictures throughout the day which allowed me to feel relaxed about her well being. I would highly recommend. 🐶”

“There are not enough words to express how thankful I am for Maria and her beautiful family. I felt so comfortable knowing that my Nico was being cared for by Maria. She is AMAZING - so loving, kind, attentive and caring. Maria had to take Nico to the vet in my absence and I truly was not worried one bit. He was so calm and felt safe with Maria. Even when I went to pick him up he didn’t want to leave. He had the best time there. I give her 10 stars and Nico cannot wait to go back!!”
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.

“We had such a wonderful experience with Yvette while she cared for our mini Bernedoodle, Dylan, over the weekend of our daughter’s wedding. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease leaving Dylan in her care. She’s incredibly reliable, communicates clearly and promptly, and most importantly, treated our puppy with so much affection and love. She sent us updates with the cutest pictures too! It was clear that Dylan felt safe and special in her warm, welcoming home. Knowing he was so well cared for gave us real peace of mind during a very important family weekend. We’re so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to leave Dylan with her again in the future!”

Saga received so many cuddles and had an absolutely great time while in her care. Harleny kept us updated throughout, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she was incredibly accommodating when we needed to make some last minute changes. We’re so grateful for her kindness and flexibility she showed Saga. Highly recommend her!”
“Jalisa was the sweetest since before we met in person! This was only the third time Angel has been away from me in 14 years, and I knew she was in good hands.

Samantha was amazing! She was great with communication, sent photos, videos, and updates. She made me feel comfortable about leaving our dog with her. We felt like he was in great, loving hands. She was also flexible with early/late pick up/drop off times, which we appreciated.
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 12,636 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.
