“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!”
“Jennifer was amazing to work with! We were so worried about leaving our dog with someone new, but he seemed to do great. Jennifer sent pictures or our dog often and kept in contact everyday we were gone. We felt so much peace knowing our pup was in good hands. We will forsure be booking with Jennifer in the future.”
“Second time leaving our 1 year old golden with them. Definitely trust Paul, very accommodating and alleviated our anxiety of leaving our dog for a few nights. Will definitely use again.”
“Kelly was an amazing dog sitter for our 3 pups while we were away for a one week vacation! This was our first time using rover and having our pups stay with someone they had not met before. She took them into her home and cared for them SO WELL. They were so comfortable in her home and she loved on them like they were her own. Kelly updated us every day with pictures and videos which helped keep our minds at ease. She even provided special care for our blind senior dog including her daily eye care routine! We can’t thank you enough, Kelly. You’re AMAZING!!!! Winston, Zooey, and Goldie already miss you ❤️”
“The best ! Mozzy ALWAYS HAS best experiences! Our dog sitter is absolutely amazing — reliable, caring, attentive, and treats Mozzy like family. I always receive updates, photos, and had complete peace of mind while away. Mozzy came home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved every minute. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely great with dogs!”
“Kavya watched our pup Loki for 3 days while we attended a family wedding. Loki is always with us so he is not the best at staying with new people, but when we picked him up and from the pictures and videos she sent, Loki was very happy, which meant we were very happy. Highly, highly recommended Kavya to anyone looking for a responsive and caring sitter for their fuzzy kids.”

We’d absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”

“Nan is a warm and caring person, and one of the best pet sitter I’ve ever met. She not only takes excellent care of the dogs but also provides them with companionship, making them feel completely at home. The nearby park is convenient for playtime, and unlike some dog sitter ，she gives dogs plenty of space to roam freely. Her family also loves dogs and treats them as friends. You can trust Nan wholeheartedly with your dog’s care.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Amboy
First experience with Rover, very impressed. Samantha provided consistent daily updates and provided photographs, which put my kids mind at rest. Rosie did not handle being left in a new environment well, but Samantha used all her experience to settle Rosie, get her to eat and relax. Samantha made it possible for me to enjoy my vacation!
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!

There are 13,008 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in South Amboy. About 88% of South Amboy sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
