“Jorge and Osvaldo were great and their home seemed to be a perfect fit for my dog, Enzo. They were very accommodative, sent multiple updates throughout his stay, and even provided some advice for me on some ways to help my dog combat the brutal Florida weather in regard to his dry skin condition. Their son also loved Enzo and he likely tired him out each day which was great! Highly recommend!”

“Do yourself a favor and book your pup’s stay with Adrienne & Nicholas. They always take care of our Doods, Toby + Dexter, as if they were their own. We recently had an unexpected death in the family. In a rush to catch a quick flight, we left needed medication at home for Dexter. They personally drove all the way to our place to pick it up for us. We are so thankful we met them.”

“First time using Rover. It’s always stressful leaving your pups with strangers for the first time. This sitting was a meet and greet for the day which I loved that they had. Kristen sent me pictures and kept me up to date on my pups. We really enjoyed the ease and comfort that Kristen provided Joy and Miles. I also loved that she only takes care of 2 pups at a time. This was great as I have 1 dog that is very skittish. We are booked for the end of the month. ♥️”

About: I now have 1 doggie of my own whom I share with my husband, she is a blue healer who loves to play, get pets constantly and also relax. We just recently lost our boy, he was 16 and lived a great life! I have been around pets my whole life so taking care of your pet/pets should be a synch 😁. I do have a bit of experience with senior care, I can give meds if needed, but I am not familiar with giving shots if needed. We did train our dogs with a few tricks as well if that is something you are working on. I work from home and I have a very flexivle schedule, so I have some free time for a little side job, why not make it pet sitting/walking/feeding. I take care of my pet like you would take care of yours. She goes outside and plays, sometimes I sit outside or throw a ball or tug of war. Sometimes we just sit out there relaxing. I feed her twice a day, constant flow of water with plenty of potty breaks. I also walk her around the neighborhood when it isn't super hot so mostly evening times if the temperature is right. We also just hang out inside and just snuggle or just lay around.

Purrfection as always! I think of Caesars house as a puppy resort rather than a boarding place. He really cares for Jersey like he does with his own dogs and we will always sing his praises. All hail Caesar!

I want to sincerely thank her for the excellent care she gave to my dog Deuce. She was always attentive, communicative, and patiently answered all of my questions. She also kept me updated at all times with photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her 100% for the care, dedication, and love she puts into her work. We look forward to booking with you in the future.

Gretchen is an amazing sitter! This was our first time boarding Molly with her, and she immediately made us feel at ease. She has a beautiful home and a very clean, welcoming setup for the pups. Molly came home happy and well cared for, and Gretchen kept us updated with pictures and texts throughout her stay. We couldn’t be happier to have found Gretchen and her sweet family to care for Molly. We’re so grateful for the love and attention they gave her and would absolutely recommend Gretchen to anyone looking for a wonderful, trustworthy sitter!

what could be more important than who takes care of your dogs? Bailey is a wonderfully caring, loving, responsible, responsive professional who took excellent care of my two dogs. She is a pleasure to work with and I will be back again and again - Bailey is the best!

We could not do a meet and greet in advance because we are not local. We had some back and forth conversation to give both of us peace of mind that this was a good fit. I can confirm it was a great fit. Theresa appeared to be attentive to my 3 doodle mixes. She sent frequent pictures and communications. I could tell through the photos that my fur babies felt safe (i.e. sleeping on back). I would absolutely love my fur babies to visit again next time we are in the area.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Malabar

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Malabar is $27 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $36 per night. 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 510 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Malabar. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

96% of sitters in Malabar can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Malabar home-away-from-home, packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Malabar.

<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Malabar sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

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 .

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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
