“Edith was fantastic! She has so much passion for animals and I could tell she knew how to take care of them. She was very easy to get ahold of, very accommodating, and she sent lots of videos so we knew our puppy was having fun and enjoying her stay.”
“Leaving Teddy for a few days is never easy, but these angels gave me complete peace of mind. They went above and beyond in every way. Not just caring for him, but truly loving him. Constant updates, thoughtful communication and even taking Teddy out to the beach, park walks and all his daily routines. Knowing Teddy was safe, happy, and genuinely cared for allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away. That kind of peace is priceless. I can’t recommend them enough. Truly not even five stars, but a 100-star experience. Thank you soooo much 🙏🥹❤️”
“Great communication with Ely and Mila, they sent a lot of pictures and videos, which I so appreciated! It was nice to see how comfortable my little guy was immediately and we will make it a permanent boarding anytime we are in town. Thanks again, and thank you for treating Einstein like one of your own!”
“Kristy made the whole experience as easy as could be and I felt my dog was very well cared for. She was very communicative and provided lots of updates and pictures. I will definitely book with Kristy again if she is available.”
“Debi and Tom were the absolute best! I was in a bind with a last minute work trip and I reached out to Debi and she was able to accommodate me for the same day. Coming back from my trip, my flight was delayed and they had no issue with staying an extra day with Fluffy. I received pictures everyday and they were very attentive to my Fluffy, who is a 20 year old poodle. I will be using Debi and Tom again.”
About: I have a true love for animals. I’m an animal rescuer, a vegetarian, and share my home with one elderly dog, three cats, and one outdoor cat. *We have a large/comfortable Catio for our kitties to reside if your pup isn’t cat friendly. I have nearly 30 years of experience caring for animals. After taking a few years off to become a mother to two precious children, I’m ready to begin boarding full time. My children are older now, are gentle and careful around animals, and are eager to help. I believe it’s important to teach them the value of the bond between people and animals. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m fortunate to be home throughout the day, so your pup will never be alone. I’m currently a SAHM so your pup will never be alone, and will feel like part of the family during their stay with us. We have a fenced back and side garden for playtime and bathroom breaks. They are allowed on the couch as we have soft washable blankets upon them. We have a small elderly dog who’s good with other dogs, cats and children. We also have cats however they have a large/comfortable catio to reside if your pup isn’t cat friendly.
“I LITERALLY hit the jackpot when I found Mirleys!!! She is a true gift to all dog parents. I am extremely EXTREMELY particular about who I trust, and far more particular about who I allow to take care of my dog Brody. She is absolutely everything one would want in the person caring for their loved one and I couldn’t be happier that l I found Mirleys when I did. She and her mother have a wonderful, sweet and safe home, they are incredible people and you really could not possibly ask for a better person to take care of your dog. My boy was happy as ever, received great attention, snuggles, and love his entire visit. Mirleys was also kind enough to provide a proactive daily updates with pictures multiple times each day, and was immediately responsive for the entirety of the trip. Absolutely 11 out of 10 across-the-board. The best there is.”
“Jessica was the best! She has great energy and will protect your dogs at all cost! My two girls are not quite trained yet and my anxiety for leaving was sky high but Jessica reassured me they were ok and she made whatever adjustments she needed to for everyone to have a great experience. Highly recommend.”
“Justin was super accommodating and reasonable we needed a last minute sitter and he was able to watch our fur baby for us we are truly grateful and appreciative on his flexibility with his schedule.”
“Ximena is the best most caring and loving dog person ever. This is the fifth or maybe sixth time I’ve had her take care of Luka and she always keeps me updated with videos, photos, and texts about his welfare. Her dog Vida and Luka are best buddies and live hanging out. I found the best home to board Luka I’m away. Thank you.”
“Valerie and her family were extremely accommodating to my dog. First time my dog has been away from us for a while. My dog Hollie enjoyed herself and was well taken care of. Valerie and her family are great because they updated us with pictures and made sure Hollie got plenty full play time. I would recommend them !!”
“Sandy is a great hostess friendly and accommodating, my cat Chi Chi is sociable and friendly and was in good company with her Cats and dogs. She sent daily pictures of the goings which I appreciated. I give her the highest rating Excellent Gold Star!!?”
“Maria is the best! I was delayed 1 day for my flight and she was very accommodating. She also kept sending me photos and updates through out the day. And her dogs were good company for my dog to have during the stay.”
“Ariadna is wonderful with our baby. She was so careful with all of our instructions for sleeping, snacking, playing, walking, etc. She communicated every day during Parker’s stay. We will see her again and I would recommend anyone to her!”
“Aisaule was amazing with my furry baby! She came home so calm and relaxed, which tells me she was in great hands. I’m so happy with the care she received and will definitely book with Aisaule again!”
“Liubov & Olena are fantastic people who truly love animals. I found them on such short notice with an urgent request for dog sitting. They both were so friendly and took wonderful care of my young Golden Retriever. She sent plenty of pictures/video updates and reassured me throughout the term that my dog was safe and happy. Their home is lovely and they have a big back yard for the dogs to play. When I showed up to retrieve my dog, she was in such great spirits and clearly well taken care of. I recommend these lovely people to anyone who wants to have their dog well cared for when you have to travel.”
“I am so happy I booked a stay for Dobby with Teresa! She took amazing care of him and sent me tons of pictures throughout the day. Dobby barely wanted to leave when I picked him up! It felt so good to be able to know that he was in good hands while I was on a work trip and I would book with her again in a heartbeat.”
“My boy Finn was very happy for his stay with Gheraldine and her boyfriend. She was very attentive, I received pictures and videos twice a day, and she messaged me showing that she cares a lot for her dogs that she sits.”

Kimberly is always great. I’ve used her multiple times and my experience has always been consistently superb. She is very attentive and always keeps me posted on my pup. My flight got super delayed due to bad weather and she was very accommodating. Very reliable sitter I never have any complaints 👍🏾👍🏾
I’m very grateful I found Sandra! My dog was never left with a sitter before and understandably so I was very hesitant. But then I met Sandra and her family, and it was an immediate chemistry. They treated corah amazingly well to the point my dog was sad when I picked her up 😅. I had updates, photos and videos without even asking for them! Definitely I will leave corah on Sandra’s care again!! Thank you soooooooo much!
Sian provided an exceptional pet-sitting experience! She was consistently responsive, shared frequent photos and videos, spoiled Raider with complimentary treats, and most importantly, provided a safe, loving, and attentive environment. Knowing my fur baby was in such wonderful hands gave me complete peace of mind throughout his stay. It’s clear that Sian genuinely cares for the dogs entrusted to her. I’m so grateful for the love and care she showed Raider, and I would absolutely book with her again whenever I’m back in the area. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️
David & His family took absolute amazing care of my Doghter Nola my fur baby was safe and extremely loved the entire time I’m so grateful to have such an amazing care option for my baby.This dog means the world to me and I absolutely felt so at peace leaving her in such a great loving hole
Rosanne is an absolutely fantastic pet sitter. She recently kept our dog Samson for four nights while my husband and I went to my son’s wedding out of state. She had previously stopped in and helped care for him, but this was his first overnight. She truly exceeded all of my expectations. Receiving her photos, videos and updates while we were away was such a comfort. It was obvious that our Samson, who is unfamiliar with staying with pet sitters, was truly comfortable and safe. Despite his fear of thunderstorms, Rosanne did everything she could to make sure he felt safe in our absence, frankly going above & beyond. Our pets are family & it’s so wonderful to find someone who loves & treats them that way too. I will absolutely book her anytime we have pet sitting needs.
Jessica and her entire family were absolutely amazing with Zoe! We had Zoe stay with them for 2 weeks, and from the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. We received daily pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They were also wonderful about giving Zoe the medication she needed and made sure she stayed on her routine. She got daily walks, tons of cuddles, attention, and, clearly, A LOT of love! When we went to pick Zoe up, it honestly looked like she didn’t want to leave! 😂 She seemed like she was having so much fun with the whole family that I think she would have happily stayed a little longer. We book with Jessica and her family whenever we can and will absolutely continue to do so. Zoe gets the best care, attention, and love when she is with them, and we couldn’t feel more comfortable leaving her in their care. They truly treat her like part of their family, and that means everything to us. If you’re looking for someone to love and care for your pet like their own, we highly recommend Jessica and her family. Zoe already can’t wait for her next visit!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Margate can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Margate 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 Margate.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Margate. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Margate 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 FL 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
