“Brenna did an amazing job caring for our two cats. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and kind. I especially appreciated her patience while we figured out the timing for my cat’s daily medication - she followed instructions perfectly. The daily updates with cute photos gave me total peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares and takes the role seriously. Highly recommend and we are already booking her again!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments my entire life. Currently, I am a proud pet parent to two wonderful dogs: a 9 year old Golden Retriever (turning 10 in December!) and a high-energy 2 year old American Foxhound. Managing these two gives me daily, hands-on experience balancing the needs of a lively young hound with the gentle care required by a senior dog. Beyond my own pets, I have regular experience caring for friends' and family members' animals. I frequently pet-sit for an older American Bulldog (around 10 years old) and three cats (one boy and two girls), which has made me very comfortable administering specialized senior care and managing multi-species households. I’ve also cared for my aunt's Yorkies, giving me confidence with smaller breeds as well. Whether your pet needs a patient companion for their golden years, a high-energy playmate, or attentive care while you're away, I treat every animal as if they were my own! I work at a restaurant and my schedule is flexible. I mostly work evenings so i can do day time visits + after work if need be. In My Home: I provide a safe, secure environment tailored to your pet's needs. For dogs under 50 lbs, I have a comfortable crate available if they are crate-trained or need a quiet space to settle. I ensure harmful items are safely out of reach and that high-energy pets get plenty of supervised playtime and exercise. In Your Home: I strictly follow your routines for feeding, medication, and walking. I keep living spaces secure, ensure doors and gates are carefully monitored, and provide plenty of attention and companionship so your pets feel safe while you're away.
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.
“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.”
“Finally peace of mind when I’m away from home! Maureen did a great job, she paid attention to the details, she is very professional and I noticed my babies were happy and relaxed when I came home 😽😽😽 Thank you Maureen!!!”
“My cats loved Ariadna. Ari seemed to have captivated them both. She was amazing at the meet and greet. She came across like an experienced professional with emotion and conviction to care for Elvis and Sheeba. Obviously, she took great pictures as shown on the Rover card. I will want to use her whenever I go away. Bravo Ariadna!!!!”
“I always call Marianne every time i have a trip, i know she will take good care of my 18y/o kitty. She will also take care of my home with small details! She is amazing”
“Ashley was great with the pups. She was very timely in dropping in and walking the dogs. Gave them lots of attention. I love the updates and adorable photos that she provides which makes me feel at ease.”
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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I can remember I have 3 dogs at home with me and wouldn’t have it any other way. Being around animals always make me happy I’m currently working a part time job serving so I have plenty of extra time to take care of the animals I love to spend my time with I have a fence in my backyard so the animals won’t go anywhere! I also have dogs at home and people to tell you I love animals!
About: I am experienced with both dogs and cats. 8 years of hands-on dog care (Golden Retriever) paired with a lifetime of experience around cats. For larger breeds I know they need a confident, attentive hand for their exercise, feeding, and energy levels. While cats need patience and an understanding of their independent nature. Whichever you have, I treat every pet like my own, so you can travel with total peace of mind knowing they are in capable caring hands. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my schedule. I currently have full flexibility and can accommodate care whenever needed, with no conflicts or restrictions on availability. I follow your instructions exactly, secure your home, maintain feeding and medication schedules, watch for an issues, and send regular updates so you feel at ease.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for many years, especially dogs of all sizes and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to check in, feed, play with, and care for their pets. I also adopted my cat as a kitten two years ago, so I have firsthand experience with daily cat care and understand the importance of patience, attention, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own! I’m used to making time for feeding, playtime, attention, and keeping pets happy and comfortable. I work in the mornings so would love to pet sit in the evenings and weekends! I care for pets with the same patience, attention, and love I would give my own. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and affection

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was in middle school. Years ago, we lost our 14 year old beloved dog that we had since he was 6 weeks old due to cancer. He had 3 legs the last year of his life and we catered to his every need. I have experience with puppies as well as aging and special needs dogs that need a lot of attention or care (medical, etc). I used to have a diabetic cat that required insulin twice per day and was able to manage her needs seamlessly despite working full time and traveling. My family loves animals and are excited to love on another dog in our home. We believe that pets aren’t just fun and sweet animals, they are family members. We treat them as such. We have two kids ages 17 and 15 that also love animals and are excited to have pets in the house again. They are high energy and love to chase them and play with their toys (especially tug a war) with them. We love animals - especially dogs. We watch them as if they are our own by not leaving them outside alone for long periods, play with them and just love on them. Hablo español

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Margate
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.
She did a great job taking care of our cat! She followed all of our instructions carefully, kept us updated, and made sure our kitty was well taken care of. She was reliable, responsible, and easy to communicate with. We really appreciated her help and would definitely book her again. Highly recommend!
As a pet owner over the past 26 years I have worked with many pet sitters, Ariela is by far among the top three ever. This is because she is not only caring but also she is very responsible. I always come back to a home which is calm with a happy cat and everything is clean and orderly. I will definitely work with her again and recommend her highly.
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!
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.
Being my first time away from my pet, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than I did with Aleanna. She was kind and responsive with my initial questions and eased my concerns throughout the process. She followed my instructions perfectly and provided sweet updates with every visit. Will definitely request her services in the future.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Margate is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 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 October 2026, there are 7,524 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Margate. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
