“Brenna took such good care of my little cat that I would choose her every time I have the chance. Thanks Brenna for the clear communication and for keeping me posted every time you checked in on Cadu 🐈 I 100% recommend Brenna!”
About: With over 7 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I have developed strong skills in understanding animals’ needs, behaviors, and routines. I am patient, responsible, and truly passionate about ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I have flexible availability and plenty of free time in my schedule, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care without strict time limits or scheduling restrictions. In my home, I create a calm and safe environment where pets can easily adapt. In the client’s home, I respect their rules and maintain the pet’s routine
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter for our cat, Yodi. At 18 years old, she needs medication and a little extra care, and Ariela handled everything wonderfully. Yodi usually doesn’t warm up to strangers, so it meant so much to see how relaxed, happy, and comfortable she looked in the photos and videos we received while we were away. It was clear she was getting plenty of love, attention, and excellent care. The updates gave us tremendous peace of mind, and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty. We would absolutely trust Ariela with Yodi again! 🐾💕”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since my childhood! Ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I also have some experience training my own dogs and caring for multiple dogs at the same time. I’m currently a school psychologist, so, I’m available during the afternoon on weekdays and I’m free most weekends! My schedule is very flexible and I can fit walking and care into my daily and weekly routine easily. I also love walking and it’s nice to go with a furry friend lol! I have a spacious apartment and many walking trails near by to walk your pups through. I can also keep your pets entertained with toys and treats.
About: I'm a mom to Lola, my 2-year-old American Staffordshire/Chihuahua rescue, and I've had dogs most of my life. I'd love the opportunity to care for your baby while you're away — I can assure you they'll be in great hands. I work from home Monday through Friday, which gives me flexibility for walks and playtime throughout the day. Your fur baby will have a built-in play-buddy in Lola, who also enjoys lounging on the couch, sunbathing, and chewing her favorite bone. Whether your pet is high-energy or prefers a relaxed pace, I'm happy to accommodate their needs and make sure they feel right at home. My home is a one-story, fenced property, so there are no stairs to navigate — great for pets with mobility challenges. I also have a pool, and your fur baby will be supervised at all times when they're in the yard.
About: Hi 👋 I'm Michelle, I've had dogs from the time I was in kindergarten. I started with one dog and added more to the family throughout the younger years of my life. At one point I had five dogs and one cat together at once. I am experienced with puppies, dogs, and seniors. I have a flexible schedule and can work with pretty much any routine that is needed for you and your animal. If you let me know what schedule is required for you and your pet I will make sure I am able to accommodate it. I always walk puppies and dogs on a leash so they do not run away or get lost. Watching an animal is necessary at all times even while inside, because you never know what they can get into. It's important that animals have a blast while their parents are gone but safety is always maintained. I will also be glad to take photos and send them to you so you know your pet is doing good.

“Kimberly and Carter loved each other they got along right away. She is so warm and friendly. She also has great availability. I love seeing the pictures of them on walks together.

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.

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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Margate
Jessica was awesome!! She is very detailed oriented, friendly and you can tell she cares very much about every fur-baby she takes care of 😊 she took such good care of our kitties. she checked in every day with updates and pictures of all four kitties while I was away, which was great! I would highly recommend her if you’re looking for an amazing pet sitter!
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.
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!
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. 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet 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 7,396 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Margate. On Rover:
- 89% 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
