About: I’ve been a proud dog dad since 2017, with 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My furry family has included German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, and a Shiba Inu, giving me valuable experience with everything from energetic large breeds to senior dogs needing extra patience and attention. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with daily walks, feeding routines, special dietary needs, medication schedules, and caring for dogs with anxiety. I understand that every dog has their own personality, preferences, and comfort level, and I always take the time to make them feel safe and loved. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I prioritize safety, reliability, communication, and following your pet’s established routine. I’ll provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring hands. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a potty break, or some extra companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Pet care has been a natural part of my daily routine since 2017! As a devoted dog dad, I’m accustomed to planning my days around feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure my furry family members receive the attention and care they deserve. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer dog walking and drop-in visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday potty break, or some evening companionship, I’m happy to work with you to accommodate their routine. I intentionally limit the number of visits I accept each day so I can give every pet my full attention without feeling rushed. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. Caring for animals isn’t just something I fit into my schedule. It’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special care requirements. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and playtime based on their personality and energy level. For dog walks, I prioritize safe, enjoyable outings tailored to your dog’s age, health, and activity level, always keeping them securely leashed and being mindful of weather conditions. With nine years of firsthand experience caring for my own dogs, including large breeds, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs, I understand how important patience, consistency, and individualized care can be. I also respect your home and privacy, making sure doors and gates are securely closed and your home is left just as I found it. Most importantly, I believe communication builds trust! I’ll provide updates and photos during each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and receiving the love and attention they deserve.
About: I have two adorable little dogs that I love to spend time with and play with. I also often watch my sister's dog, Luna. I always make sure to take her on long walks, which she loves. I'm available all day from Friday to Sunday, and afternoons on Monday,and wednesday. I am a college student but anytime that I am not in class i'm free for bookings! As a pet-sitter, I make sure to follow instructions closely. Whether that is feeding a pet or going for a walk at a specific time, I make sure that the pet's needs are met. My goal is for pets to feel safe, happy, and well cared for when they're with me.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have taken good care of them. Currently, I have three large dogs of my own and watch my brother’s dog also. I have a German shepherd, pit bull, and lab mix. I have always loved dogs, and I enjoy playing with them and taking them on walks or even car rides. I am able to walk and care for your pets during the day, and I will take very good care of them. I am an active person, so I will be able to provide their daily exercise and ensure they are happy. At home, I feed my dogs, take them on walks, and let them run in the backyard. I also will play fetch with them when they want. At your home, I can feed them, take them on walks, play with their toys, and give them love. I can also provide medications if needed.
“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!”

“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!”

“Erin is truly the best! She always goes above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have found her. She is incredibly patient and wonderful with my Doberman puppy, who has more energy than he knows what to do with! She handles him with so much care, patience, and genuine affection. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and treats every dog as if they were her own. Having someone I can completely trust with my pup means so much, and I couldn’t recommend Erin more highly. We’re lucky to have her!”

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: I have looked after pets for friends and family, and I can assure you that I do it out of love and respect for the pampered members of the household I really enjoy it. I am willing to play with them, treat them with great love as if they were my own, and see to their feeding and basic needs. I have a rabbit at home and give it lots of love; I take it out, it has its own area, and I play with it. Likewise, when I had my dog, I always used to take him to the park and play with him.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Autumn! She took amazing care of our cat Reagan while we were away for a wedding. From the moment we met her, it was clear she truly cares about animals and treats them like her own. Autumn kept us updated with daily photos and little notes about how Reagan was doing, which gave us such peace of mind while we were gone. Reagan can be a bit shy with new people, but she warmed up to Autumn right away—and that says a lot! We came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a clean space, which made the transition back home so smooth. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and clearly experienced with pets, I absolutely recommend Autumn. We’re so grateful for her and will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”

“Sonia has been helping with my dog for 2 months now. From last minute visits to 5 day trips she always goes over and above. I never have to worry when she’s looking after him because she still responsible always sending me pictures it makes me feel very comfortable while away. I highly recommend her. I’ve had multiple dog walkers over the years and no one can even come close to comparing to her. Doug V”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets with love and attention. I also have a lovely 10-year-old Shiba Inu of my own, so I understand firsthand the responsibility and joy of being a dedicated dog parent. I’m experienced with everything from playful puppies to senior dogs and always strive to provide calm, attentive, and reliable. I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my routine. I’m available before 8 AM, after 5 PM on weekdays, and anytime on weekends. I follow each pet’s routine and make sure they feel safe and cared for. At my home, pets enjoy a secure, gated neighborhood and access to a private fenced yard.
About: Hi there, my names rose. I have cared and catered towards many animals what feels like the entirety of my life, and I’ve always had a passion for such. I have a dog of my own, he is a pure havanese and is approaching his elderly years. He has been with me since birth and I practically consider him as my child. I also occasionally take care of my mother’s animals when I visit and I’ve definitely grown a relationship with all of her fur babies. She has 6 pomeranians and two domestic shorthair cats. They all individually have their own little routines and quirkes to them which i truly adore. I am very punctual and patient so I assure you that your pet will be given the most attentive, loving care. I strive to become a professional dog/cat groomer within the upcoming year while I am in school for pet grooming and I hope to be able to work for animals if not the entirety, the majority of my lifetime. I am currently dedicating my time towards pet grooming school, as I have a completely flexible schedule as a part time student, I have nearly complete open availability on weekdays and weekends. Each week does vary but due to my flexibility, I can and am absolutely willing to accommodate to your needs. I will assure your wants and needs for your pet are my top priority within your home to keep you and your pet as comfortable and safe as possible. I will make sure to keep your pet occupied with long walks and loving play.
About: I have taken care of dogs for many years. I have also owned dogs my whole life. I am a true dog lover and ready to take care of your dog! I am home all day every day and can accommodate any routine. Great pet care would be my number one priority. Whatever your dog needs, I would be able to provide. I have a German Shepard who is very friendly. I let him in my backyard and walk him. I genuinely love dogs and would give the best care to yours!
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.
About: Since I had memories, always I liked all kind of dogs and cats, birds and some others animals lol, I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10, I love play with them at the same time training some basic skills. My family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, training and bathe their pets. I would like to help you take care and hug your pet. Trust me and my family. My job as a housewife allows me to have time to take care of, play, train and pamper some puppies, I can take care of them during the week and some weekends. I have a huge garden with a fence so that your small or large and furry friend is safe, I have a swimming pool that I also use to play or train with them, I also have three very friendly dogs that help me play with my furry guests (only when their owner allows it) 😄. I also made a space for my guests in my garage with air conditioning when they want to cool off or rest, they have a bed, water and many snacks so they can spend the day well.
About: Taking care of pets, it’s fun! You play with them, give them love and attention. They are very loyal and friendly. Love them a lot. I take care of them everyday. Walk them, feed them, give them water and play a lot with them. It is my dream job. I love it I have a house with a garden outside. I feel comfortable with them around my house. I sleep with dog in bed. And everything is clean in the house for them to be comfy guest

About: I grew up in Central America with my grandmother, who was a huge animal lover. We had all kinds of animals, from dogs to monkeys (yes, monkeys!), so you could say I didn’t exactly grow up as a city girl! Growing up around animals taught me to love and appreciate them, especially dogs. To me, dogs have this special way of making you feel less alone. I truly believe that dog lovers and dogs share their own little language. Sometimes, it feels like they understand exactly how you're feeling without you having to say a word. That's one of the things I love most about spending time with dogs. Whether it's playing, giving them belly rubs, going for walks, or simply sitting together and talking to them (because let's be honest, they're amazing listeners!), I enjoy making them feel loved, safe, and happy. Every dog has their own personality, and I love getting to know them and building that special connection. 🐾❤️

Ariela is our go-to person for our furry babies. She is very responsive to our concerns about their health issues and they actually look forward to seeing her (even though OF COURSE they miss us). The house is perfect when come back despite our assurances she doesn't need to do anything and we are able to enjoy our time away without any concern. She is amazing and we cannot see using anyone else.

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.

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 :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Margate is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,195 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Margate. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
