About: Having experience with several types of animals to rodents to big ol puppies! When I was 16 started volunteering in a animal shelter for a year, many dogs had separation anxiety, depression, or just struggled with being given up, my job and main concern was always to love, support, and be the loving energy and attention the puppies needed. Missing your family is hard as a human, so I make it a priority to make sure your baby won’t feel alone ! Pet care is my life!! I currently am a stay at home mom to 2 fur babies of my own! One of My cats is currently leash training and loves his outside leash time, and That’s about my most time consuming task at the moment!!So I’m pretty much always free to make arrangements for you and your family unless if I’m busy with another !! I will be in your home majority of the day if I’m house sitting !! I have a vehicle if you think your baby might need a dog park or dog beach day! Otherwise I love playing, and long walks! Fetch is a must as well as cuddles!! And I love taking Pictures so you never have to wonder how’s your baby doing!
About: I have 7 years of hands on experience caring for my own dogs. I’ve had a Toy Poodle, Bentley since I was 12 and recently adopted a Sheepadoodle 2 years ago. My experience includes daily feeding, walking, grooming maintenance, bathing, administering basic medications when needed, playtime, potty routines, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. I'm comfortable caring for both small and large breeds and understand the importance of providing a safe, patient, and loving environment. I am currently a part-time receptionist, but my schedule is extremely flexible and I am willing to work around time obstacles if they come up! I have a fenced yard to keep your furry family safe. I also have two dogs; a Toy Poodle name Bentley and a Sheepadoodle named Ace. They are both extremely friendly and playful. I have a large crate for your dog as well if requested.
“Lori was super sweet! She’s very communicative and not afraid to ask questions. Lori went above and beyond, including literally hiding behind a wall to ensure our very shy cat ate dinner haha. She responds to messages quickly and effectively, and I absolutely would book with her again :)”
About: As an overprotective dog mom myself, I completely understand that your dog is your world!! You wouldn’t leave your baby with just anyone. Hi, my name is Debbie and ’m committed to providing a fun, safe, and loving environment for your pup. I believe in quality, not quantity—so I limit boarding to only 1-2 dogs at a time, ensuring your dog gets the attention they deserve. Since I’m home full-time, I can offer plenty of undivided attention, regular walks, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet to see if we can make your dog feel right at home with me! Use code DEBORB63777 to get $20 off your first booking with me on Rover. I work PT from home and have plenty of time to give your pup all the love and attention he/she needs. Overall, I am very accommodating and just happy to have another fur baby in my home that I love as if they were my own. I usually care for dogs in my home with my dog Peanut. I have plenty of parks nearby and space to feed dogs in separate rooms. Dogs are welcome on the couch and to sleep with me or be in a crate if that's what they prefer. Age and size does not matter. Dog must be potty trained and not bite.

I’m working a part time job in the mornings, 6am-1pm or 6am-2pm, I’m also quitting my second job due to poor management and pay, so this would help me save for a car and school! I take care of the pets by making sure they eat, washed if needed, get any sort of attention they want and or being walked!
About: I am a great care giver, I will run with your dog for an exceptionally long time. Your dog will get tired before I do. I'm athletic, very sympathetic, I'm also in love with dogs. I had a Yorkshire who sadly passed away from old age, so I would love to continue passing all of that love and nurturing that he recieved. I took care of my dog for over 14 years now and have given these services for over 6 years, so I'd say I'm pretty skilled in dog sitting and dog walks. You won't regret choosing me. I'm available anytime after 4 from Sunday to Thursday and am available all day on Friday and Saturday. Taking care of dogs is one of the things that I simply just love to do. I feel that a bond can be created just by saying, "You're a Good Boy/Girl!" Thank you for choosing me! I am currently working full time at a substance abuse and mental health rehab center. This means that I work 5, 8 hour shifts out of the week during the morning shift from 7:30a-4p. However, I have another person that assists me at home to care for the dog while I am absent and they are as responsible as I am. I do not have a fenced yard. I have a lake outside my door and I will take your lovely pooch out for walks around that lake. If you do not have a crate, I can provide one.

About: Hi 👋 I'm Michelle, I've had dogs from the time I was in kindergarten. I started with one dog and added more to the family throughout the younger years of my life. At one point I had five dogs and one cat together at once. I am experienced with puppies, dogs, and seniors. I have a flexible schedule and can work with pretty much any routine that is needed for you and your animal. If you let me know what schedule is required for you and your pet I will make sure I am able to accommodate it. I always walk puppies and dogs on a leash so they do not run away or get lost. Watching an animal is necessary at all times even while inside, because you never know what they can get into. It's important that animals have a blast while their parents are gone but safety is always maintained. I will also be glad to take photos and send them to you so you know your pet is doing good.
About: I’ve taken care of animals of every kind since I was 12. I am trustworthy and an honest individual. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I have a strong love for all animals, and I treat them like they are my own. Im currently out of school and into my summer vacation. So as of right now, I have a pretty flexible availability. Any hour of any day! I have two dogs, a golden and a chihuahua. I also have two cats. They all get along very well and if you don't feel comfortable bringing your pet over, just let me know and we will figure the problem out!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Margate
This was our 1st time using Rover, or getting a pet sitter like this for our Havanese dog, and we were nervous. Thankfully Farai was wonderful! He came in and fed and walked our boy mid-day, as agreed, and did a great job. Farai stayed in regular contact and his pictures of Samson were so great to get. He did everything exactly as we had asked and he was wonderful with Samson. I will definitely have Farai help us out with our pet sitting needs in the future.
David was an awesome sitter. He really took the time in every visit to make sure my dog was ok. He was punctual, reliable and very kind. He also communicated every day and let me know how everything was going. I will 10/10 recommend him and will be booking him next time.
Leslie has been wonderful- she's been friendly, responsive, and caring with my puppy. I'm thankful I can depend on her to show up each day to give my pup some much-needed outside time and food. Her daily updates are also appreciated. My Emmie girl has been much more relaxed when I get home since meeting Leslie. I highly recommend her :)
I booked Royiesa through Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the first message, she was so responsive, kind, and absolutely wonderful with my pets. I really appreciated the daily Rover updates and the adorable photo check-ins — it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I came home, everything was spotless and my pets were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief finding someone who treats your pets like family. I’ll definitely be booking with [Pet Sitter’s Name] again and recommending her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter on Rover!
I recently adopted a puppy and today was the first day I left her alone with my other dog for a whole work day. I have a ring camera but still needed that extra assurance that they were okay. I booked a same day (early) drop in and Annelly was available. It was a huge relief and I’m very grateful!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Margate stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Margate choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Margate with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Margate. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
