“Ashley is great. She always comes on time, is very friendly with my cat and plays with her, and takes care everything needed, and raises concerns when I'm out of town. I'm glad she lives nearby so that she can take care of my Vana!”
“Alexandrea is very communicative and she's great with my pup. What more could you ask for? I've hired her multiple times, and I would definitely use her help again :)”
“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.”
“Marianne has been absolutely the best pet sitter we could’ve ever asked for. She is loving, attentive and communicative. She’s quick to make the animal comfortable. she watched my cat sushi over the weekend faithfully for months. We kept going back to Marianne because she was truly the best person for the job. when my cat started to get sick, she noticed immediately and notified us so we were able to get her into the vet and cared for quickly. We know Sushi loved her and we would definitely work with her again!! Thank you, Marianne!!”
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 I’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 (1 client family) at a time, to ensure your dog gets the attention they deserve. I love walking and tracking my daily step count so walking with a new furry friend is a bonus. I can handle large dogs, leash pullers & love highly energetic dogs that require lots of daily exercise. 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. This is my passion! I 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.
“Royiesa is always very communicative when taking care of our pets! She’s very friendly and sweet to our cats and they love hanging out with her. We always appreciate her efforts to go above and beyond when visiting! We look forward to booking with her again!”
About: I am a manager in a pet store and I have a very caring, loving, and helping place in my heart for the furry additions of the family. I love all animals and I care for them like they are my own. They soon become my babies after a few short seconds after initially meeting! I am a manager at a pet store so pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine pretty smoothly. I also have two bunnies at home that are practically my sons who I treasure very much. I have a very open neighborhood that is perfect for walks. There are a lot of dogs in my community that are quite friendly. Along with a nice amount of woodsy space for your dog to feel happy and free!
About: My whole life i've been caring for family pets and working animal care since i graduated high school, i'm here to love and care for all pets ! Im currently working part time and will have plenty of free time to care for your pets i also can board pets on the weekends if needed ! i have two of my own friendly dogs who love to play and will keep your pet company , i have a fenced in backyard your pet can run around and enjoy themselves ! i can also take them to parks & etc to have an more eventful day !
About: Ever since I was young I had duties taking care of animals, I've always loved them. My house always had a pet and other relatives as well so I grew up in a pet-friendly environment. I know how to interact with them and how to take care of them, adapting to their needs and personalities. Throughout my life I've had dogs, birds, fishes, bunnies and for a short time a kitten(although I have volunteered for 5mo in a cat shelter). My house-sitting style is built around a consistent, daily routine that works well for independent pets who are comfortable with a standard schedule. Whether it is a weekday or a weekend, I have personal and professional obligations that take me out of the house for several hours during the day. However, I always prioritize quality time in the mornings and evenings for feedings, walks, and play, and I always stay overnight in your home to ensure your pet is safe and settled. Please note that I do not provide 24/7 'constant care,' as I maintain an active schedule throughout the week, but I am dedicated to making sure your pet’s day-to-day needs are fully met! As of now I do not offer daycare in my house. However, if there's a job I'll make sure to talk with you so you can tell me all about your babies and their specific needs!
About: I believe every pet deserves individualized care. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe and comfortable. I provide plenty of love, patience, playtime, and updates, treating every pet as if they were my own family. Pet care fits into my weekly routine because it gives me a flexible working schedule that goes well with my school schedule. I am able to help pet parents with loving the pets and also doing my homework I care for every pet with patience, kindness, and respect for their unique personality. I take the time to earn each pet’s trust so they feel safe and comfortable with me, making the experience as stress-free as possible. I carefully follow their routine and prioritize their safety while treating both your pet and your home with respect.
About: I absolutely love dogs and I’ve taken care of many throughout the years for my neighbors, friends and family members. I am trust worthy to take good care of your dog. I currently work part time down the street from my apartment and I have enough free time to keep your pet company and active as needed. There’s a nice big, clean dog park in my community and I always keep dog owners up to date with pictures, videos and even FaceTime calls as needed.
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: My fiance & I are dog lovers. He has grown up with them of all breeds and sizes. We now have 2 of our own that would love to be friends with yours! We started by watching a friend’s dog and ended up loving the joy and playfulness of a third dog in our home. We love to give our guest pups daily walks and the best care possible. I am a teacher, so if you’re out of town for any holiday weekends and summer dates, I am your girl! Otherwise, my fiance has a more flexible work schedule during the day and I am home by 3:30pm I will only accept dates when we are home to give your baby as much love and attention as possible. We have a crate and a gate for separation if necessary.
About: I have been the designated pet sitter for my family & friends for years! From chihuahuas and yorkies to cane corsos and pitbulls. I love to care for all dogs! (Cats as well!) At the moment I work a full time job. I do work hybrid, so I am remote on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. My work schedule is from 8:30am - 5pm, so I am available for walks outside of that window! Full availability on the weekends, I just need some prior notice to confirm availability. I currently live with my boyfriend and 2 roommates. They have 2 dogs, one small and one medium. We all take care of them equally but that includes: walks, play time, feedings, treats, cuddles and keeping them nice & clean! We have a nice sized backyard but it is open. We will usually take the dogs out on a leash but plenty of room for them to move around back there.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets and was always the neighborhood pet sitter as a kid! I’ve loved animals ever since I could remember and making pets feel loved has grown to be one of the many things that bring me joy and fulfillment. I believe every pet is deserving of love the best possible care throughout their entire life. From fish to hamsters to bearded dragons and dogs, I’ve learned that every pet has different needs. Pet care is subjective and over time, I have come to understand that. I have experience with all age stages when it comes to dogs. I followed my late dog, Pepo, through all of his life stages and learned to take care of him as a senior dog. I also have experience with puppies! When my cousin’s dog welcomed 6 puppies to this world, I helped her family take care of them and accompanied them to their vet visits. In short, I am comfortable with all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. Currently, I’m a college student going to school 3 times a week. Most of my classes end before noon giving me plenty of time for walks and drop ins throughout the day. The same goes for the two days where I do not have classes (Tuesdays and Thursdays). At the moment, I do not offer to take care of pets in my own home. However, with your trust and clear instructions, I am confident in my ability to provide the best care and support for your pet(s)!
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and have grown up caring for and spending time with pets. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy building a trusting bond with each pet while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet sitting is something I truly enjoy and would love to make time for alongside my other responsibilities. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, and general care based on each pet’s individual routine and needs. I also have experience working at a veterinary clinic, where I had the opportunity to interact with and care for many different types of pets. That experience taught me the importance of being attentive to an animal’s behavior, comfort, and individual personality. If a pet needs to stay with me, I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with designated areas for dogs and a nearby park where they can enjoy additional space and exercise as well a fenced backyard. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they’re in my care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Margate
We had such a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! She was on time, friendly, reliable, and clearly very caring with our dog. She followed all of our instructions, kept us updated, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. We would definitely recommend her and will absolutely use her again! 🐾❤️
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.
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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
