Yanina and Eric were truly exceptional caregivers. They went above and beyond in tending to my beloved dog, Scooby, an 11-year-old Labrador mix. They showered him with affection and personalized attention, making sure he felt safe, loved, and cherished during his stay. Scooby also had the wonderful opportunity to forge new friendships with other pets, which significantly alleviated my worries and brought me peace of mind. The couple was highly communicative, sharing adorable and loving photos that warmed my heart. They were extremely flexible and accommodating, even with last-minute requests. I would undoubtedly trust and rely on them again in the future!

Alice and her family were awesome with our beagle, Buster! He had a great time and clearly enjoyed spending the long weekend. We will definitely reach out again in the future when we need a rover for Buster!

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.

Wow! What a wonderful experience for both me and Finn! Lorrie introduced Finn to the other dogs and everything went beautifully. Lorrie is very knowledgeable and experienced with dogs and I absolutely trust her with Finn. Finn is an only dog, 10 yr old Great Dane and I was concerned about him with other dogs. No problems at all! For sure, Finn will board with Lorrie.

I highly recommend Saty for pet care! My precious dog stayed with them while my job took me out of state for a few days. My dog is older and having an option for him to stay in a loving home environment vs a kennel is ideal. I received periodic updates with pictures and videos. Additionally, Saty was very accommodating when my flight coming back was delayed. I will be reaching out to them again when my travels take me out of town and I require loving pet care for my dog.

This is our first time utilizing Rover to board our pug Yoshi, who is 12. Susana ensured that we received pictures and short videos of Yoshi through the day and while/after he had his dinner. She was very responsive when we asked questions such if ate all his food, was drinking water and he was sleeping through the night. We felt very comfortable with Susana and this helped with the stress of leaving our senior dog while we were on vacation. We are so happy to have found Susana to take care of Yoshi. We would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter.

About: I provide attentive, personalized care so pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient and quick to understand each pet’s routine and personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or senior. I can help reinforce basic training, follow detailed care instructions, and give extra gentle care when needed. What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give I treat every pet like my own and keep you updated for peace of mind. For now, I’m primarily available on Saturdays and Sundays. I may have flexibility on other days once I get to know your pet better or can adjust my schedule accordingly. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet. In my home, I have two friendly dogs and a fenced backyard for secure outdoor time and play. I always supervise interactions and make sure each pet feels comfortable and respected.

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!

FAQs for Boarding - South Amboy

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 12,980 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.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.
