Thank you for taking care of our fur babies! Jessica was awesome and very reliable. She followed every instruction we left and never really needed extra guidance (which we wouldn’t have minded) but it was nice to enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were in good hands. Thank you so much again, will definitely use you again for any future trips.

We had another perfect experience with Kristen! This is the second time Kristen has taken care of our kitty, and we’re so happy we found her because she makes it so easy and worry-free. She is always reliable, communicative, and so considerate!

Sophia goes above and beyond in her caregiving! We were traveling to Disney for a few days and needed someone to care for our sweet senior dog Rosie. She is basically our baby and Sophia did absolutely everything we asked, plus more. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Rosie!

About: I had my own special cat that I took care of his whole life. I have cared for many others since then. I would be glad to care for your kitty cat whenever the need arise. I am an educator, so Saturdays and Sundays are the best time for me to care for pets but in the summertime, I will have much more availability I’m very comfortable with taking care of animals. I will treat them as my own, and I will respect your home as mine whenever I’m there to care for your pet

Ava went above any expectations I had while caring for my two pomskys one being a baby that is potty training and learning that biting isn’t nice. She picked up and cleaned that I hadn’t even asked of her.

Michelle is absolutely amazing! She was so incredible with our cats and even one of our cats that doesn’t warm up to strangers loves her! This is the first time we have left our cats for so long and we were worried, but after the first visit with Michelle we were so happy and could relax! She went over and above what we expected and could not ask for a better pet sitter! We will be using her a lot!!! If you were ever on the fence about leaving your previous pets in the care of a stranger, you should use Michelle and never worry about your fur babies! Thank you so much Michelle!!

About: Hi! Im Andrea. I moved down to Vero Beach Dec ‘21 from North Dakota and now making my way up to Melbourne! I’m loving the florida life! Beaches are wayy better here. Back in north dakota i had 3 families I would pet set for. Ranging from small to big, lazy to extremely hyper I can handle it all! I’ve had many pets from 4 cats at time, a snake, to 3 cats and a dog, and now two cats. Please let me hangout with your animals before I go rescue every furbaby at the shelter. Open availability in September/October besides weekends. I work 12 hour shifts in east/central melbourne area, can most likely work out a potty break in that time if needed:) I have experience in residential Window Cleaning in high value properties in the Vero Beach area, I always have the upmost respect for another persons home, animals, and property. I can do small cleaning jobs as well for an additional price. I’m not willing to stay in another’s home overnight until a couple meet ups with pets and their owners for personal safety and comfortability reasons.

About: I have over 7 years of experience working with animals through shelters and daycare settings. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, and giving pets the attention and care they need. My experience has also helped me understand different behaviors, so I can handle shy, energetic, or anxious pets calmly and safely. I truly enjoy working with animals and treat every pet like my own. I currently work part-time babysitting from about 9:30 AM to 1 PM, so I am available before and after those hours. I am also in college working toward my zoology degree, which reflects my passion for animals. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I have plenty of time during the day and evenings to give your pets attention, exercise, and proper care. I am flexible, dependable, and committed to being there when needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I have experience handling different behaviors from my time in shelters, which helps me stay calm in any situation. Whether in your home or mine, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident while you’re away.

Amanda is an excellent pet care professional. She’s always on time and was very easy to set up care for my 4 month old puppy. She goes above and beyond, and clearly cares for animals. She was a vet tech and is currently studying to be a vet. Would highly recommend Amanda if you are looking for someone who is friendly, trustworthy, dependable and knowledgeable with pets.

About: Like many others‚ I've been around animals my whole life, and while being a pet owner naturally teaches you about responsibility and how to take care of an animal, what really helped prepare me and build my confidence to provide reliable professional pet care was working in animal care facilities․ I began working as a kennel technician during my senior year of high school, where I was responsible for feeding animals, administering medications, cleaning kennels, and ensuring each pet received the attention and care they needed․ When I started college, I continued working seasonally during breaks, but eventually transitioned into a job that tailored my college needs. Throughout high school though, I continuously pet-sat for some family friends. I am currently a junior at Florida Tech․ I work as a customer service representative and animal care attendant at Dogspot Hotel․ The great thing about working at the Dogspot Hotel is that I get to interact with clients and their dogs‚ and provide the best service for each animal․ I am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications including insulin‚ as well as handling animals with a variety of medical conditions and behavioral issues․ A little extra about me, I have three dogs, three cats, and a Russian tortoise! When school starts up again in August‚ I will be a full-time college student at Florida Tech and working part-time․ My class schedule will be set‚ but my job is very flexible and I will be able to work around my class schedule․ Classes are scheduled mainly four days a week‚ with a mix of morning and afternoon availability. This gives me more flexibility to care for pets, including check-ins throughout the day, or overnight in the case of boarding․ I currently live in Melbourne‚ in the house that I rent with my roommates‚ and while my roommates have no problems with me having pets, our landlord has stated that they do not allow pets in the house. So any pet care would have to take place outside of my home.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a little girl. I have experience with both dogs and cats from working at the animal shelter for several years. I will take my experience and apply it with my clients in all aspects. I’m currently working part time at Buffalo Wild Wings, usually around 20-25 hours a week, but I will have no problem working around my work schedule to fit your pet into my schedule! In my clients home, I will strictly follow instructions given by the pet owner, in regards to feeding, medications, exercise, time spent, etc. Also, I will make sure to send photo updates to the client if requested.

I had to go out of town on short notice and needed someone to take Lotus out in the morning for a walk and give her breakfast. I found Tina and she was awesome! She kept me informed and took great pictures and did a great job. I booked her for a 30 minute drop-in for two days and would definitely do it again. Thank you Tina.

About: Hi there! My names Allison. Im currently living in Vero and Melbourne. I take house sitting jobs in the Vero beach and Melbourne area. I have been taking care of all different types of animals all my life. From taking care of baby kittens to taking care of a new born puppy. Birds and reptiles as well. I love all animals and treat all animals the same. I just moved back to Vero beach but still house sitting in Melbourne and currently belong my mom take care of a household of seven animals. I am now looking to help others take care of their fur babies when needed. I’m free all the time and would love to take care of more animals. I take care of my pets daily from the minute. I wake up so the minute I go to bed. Both of my cats at home follow me everywhere and love their cat room that I made for them. I play with them daily and even make cute little projects for them. My most recent one was a little box for my one cat that wouldn’t let me get rid of a delivery box. I have had to give medication to animals as well. I’m very good at it and know how to administer medication‘s properly. I’ve also taken care of animals that have walking issues that are having issues with going outside. Many years of different types of animal care.

ABOVE AND BEYOND! Alexander and Dorys are the most reliable, trustworthy, responsible, kind, loving and fun people that I have ever hired to care for my pets or my three children! I highly recommend hiring them if you want zero worries about your fur babies or your home. I could share two weeks' worth of daily examples of their great communication and execution of my list of tasks, but I will share just one: CHRISTMAS EVE. 5:30pm. Jones, our indoor/outdoor cat, wouldn't come home. The entire family was multiple states away, as were most of our friends and neighbors. Alexander and Dorys arrive a bit early to get Jones safely inside for the night, cleaned the box and food and water dishes, and were ready to play and cuddle for 30 minutes. (always sending me pics and updates.) They kept calling for him. Did the nightly routine: selected a good TV program for him, checked thermostat and garbage, and kept calling for him --- on Christmas Eve when they were on the way to their family gathering. They were communicating with me that Jones was not home, and I told them they should leave the cat door open and to go to dinner with their family. It was Christmas Eve! (And, Jones often doesn't come back home immediately when called.) I said the neighbor would keep an eye out. But, Alexander and Dorys didn't feel good about leaving Jones outside and didn't want me to worry. Instead of leaving him outside like I said to do, they tracked Jones' Airtag that I had shared previously. The lovely couple went throughout the neighborhood, calling him and shaking his treats until they found him two blocks away. Then, Jones didn't want to ride in the car. So, Dorys walked and carried Jones all the way back home. And, they still petted him and gave him his nightly catnip party! I will attach a pic of the walk home with Jones looking like he's clawing her arm, but she never said a single word about that. They were just happy to have found him and made sure my fur baby was safely home so I could have a worry-free Christmas Eve. I believe this single example of my experience with Alexander and Dorys is a real testament to the care they would give your pets. In addition, they also cared for my large 'high-maintainence' German Shepherd the week that he had leg surgery for new ACL, and Dorys sat on the couch beside him and read with him the entire night to ease his separation anxiety. Gave medication, treats, and took care of Jones' indoor/outdoor needs... Dr. Dog was the least anxious that I have ever seen him upon our return home. He was so happy and peaceful ... another testament to the connection they have with the animals. You can see it. They are animal people, truly kind, and the pets and I love them - you will, too! :) ( Most of all for me busy working and traveling with family, etc.... I like not worrying about anything, no matter what. They took care of everything that came up without me giving a second thought. Worth every penny for the peace of mind... everything taken care of... everyone is happy!)

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Malabar

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Malabar on Rover is $24.05 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 560 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Malabar. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Malabar. On Rover:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% 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.

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.
