“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 ❤️”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Radwa provided for my Frenchie Ramsay. She was attentive, loving, and kept me updated with quick responses. Ramsay loved her and her children right away. My dog came back happy and did not want to leave. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring sitter. 5 Star all around.”
“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...”
“Lorrie was wonderful with Lola, she treated her like her own dog. It was the first time Lola spent time at someone else’s house without me and she had a great time with Lorrie and the other dogs there. She sent me pictures and videos often. I already booked her for my next trip because Lola had so much fun and I didn’t worry as I knew she was being taken good care of.”
“I was so happy to find Yanina. I have two older dogs (an 11 year old ~50 lb retriever mix and a 12 year old ~80 lb bully mix). Normally folks are intimidated by the size with no inclination to get to know my dogs. Yanina and her hubby were so kind to my babies and treated them so well. I got some fantastic photos and videos and my dogs were smiling and so happy!”
“Kevin was fantastic! We had a need for a last-minute booking, and he accepted. He sent us updates and photos of Buddy throughout the weekend, and clearly Buddy was extremely comfortable with him. We highly recommend Kevin!”
“Kayla kept in touch and never missed a day without photo update. Really loved the way she communicates from day 1 till the very last day. You'll never have to worry about anything with her. My Loki stayed with her for 22 days. She is an amazing person and definitely will book again. Thank you Kayla for taking good care of my Loki he already misses your 2 lovely dogs.”
“Extremely happy with the care provided by Jalisa and her family of my furbaby Mya! She was treated like she was their very own and my Mya reciprocated 😊 Jalisa provided daily reports and photos without me even asking & my girl looked happy! Will definitely book with Jalisa & family again!”

I ensure they have a calm, quiet, and comfortable environment for their achy joints. Puppy: If you have a puppy, I will reinforcing your rules, maintain consistent crate training and stick your potty schedule to ensure they feel confortable and secure.

“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.”
About: I have always owned at least one dog for the last 20 years. I currently have 5, 3 of whom were either rescued out of bad living situations or fostered and then eventually adopted. I have also boarded dogs for friends and family while they have had to go on vacation or handle other affairs. As an extra on walks I also teach dogs and puppies basic obedience training and work with de-escalating dominant and or reactive dogs I’m currently working part time while trying to build my dog walking business and brand so I have a flexible scale that I can work around and rearrange if needed. I have a fenced in yard with lots of dog friendly toys and activities for them to engage in. Inside I have multiple cages of varying sizes to handle small 10 lb dogs up to a big 100 lb dog
“Erick was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! I have a fairly lazy dog, and a very high energy lab who just over a year old and she can be a handful! Erick sent me pictures and videos regularly, assuring me that my babies were fine. The resident dogs were super friendly, even snuggling with my two. When I picked them up they seemed like they had made themselves right at home. Erick is fabulous and wonderful people to work with! We will definitely be back.”
“Mohita was fabulous right from the meet and greet. She made sure My dog was totally comfortable at her place and that included the lovely dog coco. It was so great to see pictures and videos of my dog having fun on his own little vacation at her place. She took great care and was very supportive throughout my dogs stay. So glad to have found Mohita. 💕”
“This is my 4th time using Ekaterina and her family and they are all so wonderful! They are the only people I trust to leave my Loretta with. She constantly sends pictures and updates. My Loretta gets endless love, kisses, and snuggles with her children! If you want the best possible care and love for your pet, please go with Ekaterina!”
“First time using rover or ever leaving Cue with anyone for any amount of time. I reached out to Stacia before even making a full profile. She responded right away and scheduled a meet and greet. As soon as we walked in She was welcoming. Cue was a little overwhelmed at first because it was his first time but he warmed up within 10 mins and seemed happy. The house is super clean and smells good so we were sold right away. We left cue for 4 days with Stacia. She updated us about how he was doing and sent pics ?. I was very nervous about leaving him because he has an extremly sensitive stomach and loves to put stuff in his mouth he shouldn't so he has to be watched carefully. Stacia did a wonderful job making sure he was safe. She responds to texts extremely fast which gave me reassurance while away that he was ok. When we came to pick him up he was sitting with Stacia and didn't even get up to greet us lol we are confident he had a great time and was well taken care of. We will be leaving him a few times in daycare and when we travel. I am so happy we found Stacia ❤️ she is wonderful.”
“This is our second time book with Lucas and Katherine and we will definitely be using them again. They are so sweet, send the cutest pictures and show so much long to my baby girl.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Amboy
William provided exceptional care for our dog during her weeklong stay. He monitored her eating closely, adjusted her meals when needed, and kept us updated with detailed messages. He shared photos of her having fun and socializing with other dogs, and she integrated beautifully into his home. He also shared little stories, like how she became obsessed with one of Whiskey’s squeaky toys and carried it in and out of the house. It was clear she felt safe, happy, and completely at home. One thing that really stood out was how much William genuinely loves our dog. It wasn’t just care — he connected with her, paid attention to her personality, and treated her like she was part of his family. That kind of care is rare and meant the world to us. His flexibility with pickup after our overnight flight was greatly appreciated. We felt completely confident leaving her in his care and will absolutely rebook with him!
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!

There are 12,787 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.

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.
