About: Pets are family, and I’m passionate about providing the individualized care they deserve. With over 10 years of experience in pet care and dog training, I’ve learned how important it is to truly understand each animal’s unique needs and personality. It’s more than just feeding them or taking them for a walk. For me, it’s about creating a safe, nurturing environment, building relationships founded on trust, and helping every pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy enough to truly thrive. I believe clear communication with pet parents is just as important as the care itself, so you always feel connected and at ease while your pet is with me. I work remotely and part-time for a puppy training company, which gives me the flexibility to be present, attentive, and spend lots of quality time with your fur-babies. I tailor my care to each pet and the specific service you book, whether that’s drop-in visits, dog walking, boarding or daycare. During drop-in visits, I make sure your pet’s basic needs are fully met - fresh water, feeding (if needed), potty breaks, and a clean, comfortable environment. Beyond that, I spend quality time with them through play, enrichment, or simply providing calm companionship, depending on their personality and energy level. For dog walks, I focus on safe, structured walks that match your dog’s pace and training level. I reinforce good leash manners using positive reinforcement and make sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. In your home, I always aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, since that’s what helps them feel most secure. I’m very mindful of your space, follow all care instructions closely, and provide updates so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.
“First time using Ashley for doggy day care and it was an amazing experience! From the moment she opened the door Stitch was so excited to see her. Thank you again for everything!”
“Judy and her family were wonderful with Rosie. She sent many pictures and updates throughout the day. Rosie was well taken care of and appeared very happy when we picked her up.”
About: I had dogs since I’ve been a kid, I worked boarding and walking dogs, always interested in pet training getting knowledge as an autodidact person. For services of walking , sitting, or dog care I am available seven days a week, and the time is upon the requirement of pet owner. As a dog walker I’ll treat the pup in the natural way, so they will make exercise in natural conditions. Otherwise, a dog that use to be indoors need to get free of the stress, using it’s natural senses. It means walking a dog is not only for exercise, but very important, for mental health of the dog.
“Xico can speak, but it looked like he had a good time with Sian and her dog Chulo. He can come and slept throughout the night. Thank you Sian for taking care of my precious fur-son!”

I kindly ask that your fur babies are groomed before staying with me, especially if your dog is an “outside” dog, please make sure they are bathed before their stay. What makes me unique as a pet sitter is my genuine love for dogs and my commitment to providing a safe and nurturing environment for them. My passion and experience in dog sitting, along with my reliability and responsible nature, truly set me apart.

When it comes to caring for pets in my home or my client's home, there are a few key things I make sure to do: 1. Feeding: I ensure that the pets are provided with the right amount of food and water, following any specific dietary instructions given by the owner. 2. Exercise and Playtime: I make sure to give the pets plenty of exercise and playtime to keep them happy and healthy. This can include walks, play sessions, or any other activities they enjoy. 3. Regular Potty Breaks: I take the pets outside for regular potty breaks and clean up any messes promptly to maintain a clean and hygienic environment. 4. Medication and Health Care: If the pets require any medication, I make sure to administer it according to the owner's instructions. I also keep an eye out for any signs of illness or discomfort and notify the owner if needed. 5. Companionship and Attention: I provide lots of love, attention, and companionship to the pets, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. 6. Basic Grooming: I can help with basic grooming tasks such as brushing their fur and keeping them clean and tidy. 7.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I have watched my friends pets when they have gone on vacation. I personally feel that animals are way better than humans, how can you not love an animal? Your animal will be well taken care of with me! I am honest/trustworthy, personable and will treat your pet as if he/she were my own. I work from home M-F during the day. I live across the street from a park and I live in a pet friendly neighborhood. It would be nice to go on walks to break up the monotony of the day if your dog boarded with me. I play volleyball in the neighborhood parks and would be happy to bring the pooch with me to get some fresh air. I also have a large enclosed patio if your dog wants to chill outside. He/she will be safe on my watch. I have a large fenced in outdoor patio. I do have a cat named Denver that knows all the dogs in the neighborhood. He sleeps all day in the master bedroom and then comes and goes via kitty door in the evening. Your pet can easily coexist at my place. And if you prefer that your pet stay at your home so as to not disrupt their routine, I can always make those accommodations since I work remotely and have a lot of autonomy owning my own business. I work full time from home 8-430. Typically after work, I’ll work out at home or go to the park to play volleyball or pickleball for some exercise. I have a large fenced patio in a development that has plenty of grass and small canals with lots of wildlife. Very nature oriented; your dog will get to sniff new smells!
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 13 (now 36) from dog and cats to lizards and snakes. I don't discriminate. When I was younger I only took care of friends and family but now I found rover I am currently on hiatus from my employer so I have ample amount of time to take care of and play with your fur baby. I have a very large fenced in yard for your dog to run and play. I also have my own fur baby to help keep your baby company. I don't crate my small French bulldog but i do have a large crate big enough for a 70 pound dog just in case your dog needs it.
“Joan was awesome to work with! She was available on short notice and was very accommodating. I was impressed by her home setup - it is dedicated entirely to caring for doggos and my pup Frida had a few nice friends to play with. Frida came hope happy, healthy, and sleepy :)”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every dog I watch. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, calm, and very observant — which helps me quickly notice changes in behavior, appetite, or energy. Whether it’s a playful puppy who needs structure and consistency or a senior dog who needs a slower pace and extra TLC, I adjust my care to what’s best for your dog. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always have peace of mind. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the dogs I’m caring for to ensure they receive consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m mindful of routines and make sure dogs aren’t left alone for long periods. Whether it’s daily check-ins, overnight stays, or extended care, I prioritize their comfort and well-being as part of my normal week. When pets stay in my home, they become part of my daily routine in a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow each dog’s usual schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and rest to help them feel comfortable and at ease. I provide plenty of supervision, affection, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. I also have a secure, fenced area where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor playtime, exercise, and fresh air in a safe space. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a slower, more relaxed pace, I tailor care to their age, personality, and needs. My goal is to make your dog feel at home while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Margate
Judy and her daughter were very pleasant, and I received plenty of pictures and updates of my pup throughout the day. I have a trip coming up and was nervous about who I could leave him with, but my anxiety has started to ease after this daycare visit. She is very responsive and understanding of your dog’s individual needs. Thank you!
My dog Obi had a great time at Arianna’s! She was very accommodating and willing to meet beforehand to make sure Obi and I were comfortable, and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay. My dog Obi has separation anxiety and she made sure to accommodate that and stay with him the whole day. Will be using again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Margate on Rover is $37.45 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Margate commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
