About: Your fur baby deserves to be treated with love and like family ¡También hablo español! I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats before. I as well have dogs myself that I've cared for ever since I was 12. I done overnight stays and have helped family and friends as well when needed to play, feed, or let their dog out as well as take them on walks. As a devoted animal lover, I completely understand the importance of compassionate pet care. I am a Law student at NSU so I have more than enough time to give your pets the fun and enriching days they deserve before and after my classes. I am normally free all days of the week and weekends. I live with my family and 3 dogs of my own so I would not be able to board dogs at my own home but can definitely accommodate in your home. If you choose me for house sitting accommodations, please know that your pets and home will be happier and just as clean as when you left them

Currently I am working from home. So, I have lots of time to care, love and play with your fur babies during their stay. Looking forward to meeting you & your babies :) I have a fenced backyard. Pesticide free & herbicide free no chemicals at all in our yard! Three fur babies of my own to keep your pup company! I can crate pups comfortably if needed.

About: Over the years I have cared for a variety of animals, including domestic, exotic, and livestock. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their medically needy animals over the past decade and I am now opening that service up to Rover. I'm not a vet tech but I am comfortable and experienced administering a variety of medical treatments like insulin injections, pill regiments, eye drops/skin ointments, and subq fluids. Leaving town with a pet can be stressful, especially one that needs specialized care. I can help. Currently over all I have quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule. I have my own small business that is sporadic gig work on the weekends. Most events last 4 to 6 hours, maximum 8 hours, and not every weekend has events. I prefer to pet sit in the home the pets belong to. I find that with most animals it's incredibly stressful to move them, staying in their home with them minimalizes that stress. It also allows for easier medicine administration. I like to meet the pets and owners ahead of staying with them, this is to again reduce the stress on your pet when I show up without you as well as to observe the quality of care you are administering to your fur babies.
About: For the last 10 years I've boarded dogs at my place of living. I have a 17 year old girl that loves dogs so your fur baby will never be bored or neglected. I also have a bunny that will be in enclosure at all times while boarding any dog in order to ensure safety of both. I'm home all day so pup will have alot of playtime! I'm available full time for dog sitting and doggy day care. I'm happy to board a dog short term or long term. Very flexible with times. Pet meeting will be required before boarding to ensure that both the pup and my children/bunny are comfortable. I live in a pet friendly home and have fenced in yard for daily playtime! 4 bedroom house which I share with my partner & children. Pup will be allowed to sleep in the bedroom on a doggy bed or in my oldest daughters room with her on her bed. 🩷 Boarding pick up time depends on drop off, boarding is a 24 hour service per day. If you drop off at 6am pick up will be at 6am, 8am latest. I like to give 2 hours of wiggle room at no extra cost but anything more will count as an additional daycare charge. Just let me know your situation and I will work with you. Drop offs are at 8pm latest - 6am earliest. I currently work Monday through Friday out of home for 2.5 hours a day. I work with children on the Spectrum providing in home connection based therapy. My work requires me to visit them at their home but the home is occupied by a teenager as well and my partner both willing to help in the 3 hours max that I’m away. I have a fenced yard (metal short) but if your dog is escape savvy please let me know so we can make the proper accommodations and assess if the yard is the correct fit for your fur baby!
“Aria has come through for many of my last minute bookings. I know that won't always be the case but I appreciate her willingness to accommodate my schedule. I travel once a month for work and sometimes pretty last minute. She is very responsive and keeps my baby Blu comfortable while I am away. I will continue to book with Aria!”

About: My pet care journey started when I began dog sitting for my coworker’s two pups. Word quickly spread around the office, and before I knew it, every dog owner in the office was reaching out to me whenever they went on vacation. Over time, I met even more pet parents through work and social events, building a network of families who trust me with their fur babies even those with more challenging schedules. I always go above and beyond to make sure pets are happy, comfortable, and kept on their regular routine. I provide care right in the pet owner’s home to keep their environment familiar, and I’ve also done quick visits, playdates, and walks whenever my regular clients are out of town. As a dog owner myself, I truly enjoy the company of pups of all personalities and I also love caring for cats! Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I currently work part-time, so I’m pretty flexible with pet care. My work schedule changes weekly, but I’m usually available weekday mornings, some afternoons if I have a closing shift, and weekends after 5 PM. I love engaging with pets in a playful and caring way, whether it’s playtime in your backyard or a relaxing walk around the neighborhood, I’m happy to do it all. I follow your home rules closely, including crate time or restricting certain areas, so your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I'm an passionate and excitable person who would love to care for your pet(s), huge or teeny! I'm very experienced working with all sorts of animals, all with different needs and circumstances, as I have been volunteering at animal shelters for around 7 years and pet-sitting for 4! I am a CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) member as well, so if any situation were to arise, I am trained to handle them throughly. Please feel free to send me any information or questions before deciding on if I am the right match for you and your baby. There's no such thing as something being "too much" either, especially when it comes to something as important as your loved ones :) Pet care is my only job as I work on getting my AA degree! Immediately after my classes, I will be free. Please, feel free to reach out to schedule care on Tues/Thurs. My detailed schedule availability: Mondays & Wednesdays- All day availability! Tuesdays & Thursdays- classes from 8am- 6pm Friday-Sunday- all day availability! I am very accustomed to when animals needing extra special care, so there's nothing that could shock me! I love taking walks/playing, so you can rest easy knowing that your baby will be engaged and taken out if allowed. I just hate to see such sweet faces bored! I am a stickler for rules, so whatever is the norm for them will be a new norm for me. I clean throughly and will leave your home as clean as it was when I got there.
About: I’ve been a dog mom for 14 years 🐶 (to my boy Michael Thomasz who is now in doggie heaven 🙏🏼). After his very difficult passing on the family, I volunteered at different animal shelters and rescues bringing awareness to dog adoption and quality care. I decided to create a legacy in Mikey’s name so our love for him may keep on growing in the care for other dogs. I love and care for all dogs deeply as if they were my very own! They are part of the family and they all have a personality of their own! I have experience and expertise caring for special needs and gentle love and patience to give to senior dogs. I focus on a cage-free environment and personalized attention, unlike other dog caretakers. Dogs may not talk but they DO communicate 😃 I am attentive to details to ensure I am providing a safe space full of love and everything they need. I am First Aid and CPR Certified. I am open to get directions on how your loved one behaves, likes, dislikes and anything else I can do to make their stay pleasant and memorable. I provide updates on the actions taken such as feeding, walking and daily activities as well as accommodate pictures and video calls to ensure you have peace of mind. I welcome hearing suggestions and feedback as this is a positive and healthy environment ✨ Check me out with a discount! Promo Code: BETTYV61589 I have a flexible schedule to accommodate your preference in day and times. I prioritize my furry clients and ensure I provide them with uninterrupted quality time during your booking. I am home based for daycare and hotel services. I have a designated exclusive area for your pup and it is cleaned every day to ensure your furry baby is in a comfortable and clean space. I wash and sanitize all the covers, blankets, toys and any other supplies that are used with our dogs. Each dog gets their own clean supplies at the beginning of their stay for daycare and hotel stays. • If I am visiting your home during drop-in visits, I’ll be sure to clean up any doggie messes before I leave. • For walks, I am fully equipped with bags and additional leashes. • I also heavily rely on pet hair rollers to ensure we are hairball free (as much as possible anyway!) • For the safety of our dogs, I ensure all designated doggie areas are free of clutter or other items that may fall on them or cause them any harm.
“Gabby did an amazing job taking care of my Jackson while I had to be out of town for the weekend! She is very thorough. She came over for a meet-and-greet with Jackson and asked me lots of the questions about his habits and personality. I really appreciated that she truly wanted to learn as much about him as possible. During her visits, she sent the absolute best Rover Cards! She is quite the photographer. She sent one slow-motion video of Jackson running with the ever-present tennis ball in his mouth that was so great! I would highly recommend Gabby to take care of your fur baby.”

“Marilyn does it again! She was amazing with our three cats and attentive to their needs. We had a change with one of our cats and Marilyn understood how to take care of him right from the beginning. We love having Marilyn take care of our babies, she treats them like they are her own!”

“This was my first time ever doing this and Eduardo was very nice to my cat and followed all instructions. Kept in touch and also cleaned the litter box and fed my cat everyday. I was also sent multiple pictures of my cat daily. Would have his services again. 👍👍👍”

“Caleigh was absolutely wonderful. She took great care of our two cats, checking on them every day, feeding them, refreshing their water, playing with them, and making sure everything was perfect before she left. She was incredibly communicative, sent the sweetest photos and updates, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would happily book her again and highly recommend her.”

“It’s very hard to find a reliable pet sitter to watch your fur babies But I finally did. Autumn is the sweetest most reliable person. She always keeps me very informed on what’s going on with our cats. I would definitely highly recommend anyone to use her. 😊”

“Had Hailey care for my dog in my home while we were out of town for 6 days and will definitely be using her again if I need! Was a last minute request and she helped me feel super comfortable being away by sending pictures and updates throughout. Super trustworthy and sweet!”

About: I've had a total of 5 dogs growing up, one of which was professionally trained and had special needs. I have experience with puppy as well as senior care and create a safe, loving environment for your pets. I've cared for multiple pets and neighbors have relied on me to sit in the past. I do only sit for one family at once and I am not boarding at this time. Thank you! I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of availability. My schedule varies weekly, but rest assured I will do my best to accommodate your needs. I'd love to take your pups for walks in the neighborhood, hang out in the yard, and play with them in ways your home allows! I can also provide my own extra amenities like treats or toys.

“Michael came by to introduce himself and meet my dogs and took the time to talk to me and interact with them. They took to him right away, which I was happy to see because one of my dogs are very nervous with new people. He made my day sharing the pictures of the drop in visit. You could tell my fur babies were happy to have him over and interacting with them. He made sure they were all set with food and water when leaving.”


“Emily is so amazing! I can’t reccomend her enough! She was thorough and communicative and took the best care of our girl! Will definitely be repeat clients! Thank you Emily! 🩷🐶”

About: Flexibility with your needs as that’s what I’m here for! A extra hand to ensure your fur family continues to be happy and healthy and stay in routine! I enjoy being outside and find it therapeutic to interact with animals! It’s a perfect fit as they have always been apart of my life from dogs, cats, chickens, fish ! Your space and family are an extension of me while under my care and supervision so nothing short of what I hold for myself and my loved ones.

She's the best and my Samson is always happy to see her. Having such a caring responsible pet sitter is literally life changing for those of us who adore our pets but also have pet care needs. I hope she never stops Rovering and I'll continue booking her as long as she does.

Brenna was great with my 3 dogs! I really appreciated the detailed updates and pictures after each visit. She took the time to let me know how everything went, which gave me such peace of mind. She was always on time, quick to respond to my messages, and followed all of my instructions. Best of all, the dogs absolutely love her! It’s such a relief to find someone you feel comfortable leaving your fur babies with. I’ll definitely be using Brenna again and would highly recommend her!

Ariela dropped in on Copper on short notice while I was stuck late at work. She is responsive, punctual, and takes lots of pictures. She even went out of her way to wipe up dirt off the floor which my dog tracked into the house while she was letting him out after it had rained. Highly recommend!

Aria has come through for many of my last minute bookings. I know that won't always be the case but I appreciate her willingness to accommodate my schedule. I travel once a month for work and sometimes pretty last minute. She is very responsive and keeps my baby Blu comfortable while I am away. I will continue to book with Aria!

I highly recommend Ariel! I absolutely love him and he is always my #1 pick when it comes to both of my dogs. Ariel treated my dogs with care and patience. He is reliable, communicative, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dogs in his hands. I really appreciated the updates and attention to detail. He even brought my packages inside. I will definitely continue to use Ariel's services again & again!

Our two huskies loved Branden and Gabi! They were great with our high energy puppy. You can tell they have lots of experience with big dogs. They asked all the right questions. I was especially happy when they asked what kind of water our pups drink. Branden was very thorough with logistics and loving towards the pups. Gabi was warm and playful. We highly recommend them and will be reaching out to them for future stays.

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.

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 :)

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!
