“Jorge and Osvaldo were amazing with my dog Shea! They sent a ton of pictures and I could tell how much fun she was having. Amazing all around experience - thank you!”
“Adrienne and Nick were over the top fantastic sitters for The Doods, Toby + Dexter. They kept them entertained, playing all their favorite games and making sure Dexter didn’t eat any grass. The couch cuddles and TV time was exactly what they were used to and made them feel comfortable. Adrienne knew they liked to dress up and surprised us by creating custom bandannas for them both. All the funny messages and pictures reassured us that they were well taken care of while we were gone. The Doods are already looking forward to their next stay with them.”
“My dog almost loves staying here better than my house LOL 🤣 She gets to run so wild and free (we have an hoa so she’s not really ever running free) and she loves playing with the other dogs and has a blast! I love knowing that someone’s not just “beating her“ while I’m on vacation, but she’s actually getting plenty of exercise and enrichment 🙌 and I really really really love how they keep the “rules“ when she’s at their house so she doesn’t come home losing all of her good training”
“Olivia was amazing! Thank you, Olivia, for taking such sweet care of our spoiled princess, Hilde! I felt so relieved that Hilde was getting the attention and cuddles she's used to. We'll definitely book you again the next time we're visiting family! All the best!”
“I 😘 the family that took care of my Canine companion. They noticed that Scout had itchy ear and notified me and he's been doing great.i would 100% use them again. You will not be regretful in choosing them to care for your furry child/ren.”
“Rody was AMAZING with my fur babies. She spoiled them rotten and sent me lots of updates and videos and pictures which was so appreciated. I have never left my puppies anywhere and was quite nervous about it but Rody went over and above what I was expecting. If anyone has concerns on whether to leave your babies in her care, DON'T, cause she is absolutely the best at being a bonus mommy and I have recommended her to all my friends, plus she is very affordable and her husband and adult son were also very welcoming. Will absolutely use her for any future care for my fur babies!!!!!”
“Tonja & George are great with Benny!! They’ve watched him over 20 times in his 4 years, ranging from overnights to week long stays, and we have never had an issue. They are great with communicating and sending updates of our baby boy! Thank you!”
“Gail was excellent! She kept us posted and up to date routinely. We were happy to work with her. She was friendly and we could feel that she really loves dogs. It was our first time using Rover to find a dog sitter. We had a more peculiar situation with a larger size timid dog. It helped knowing she was okay with just sitting only our dog for a few days since it seemed other sitters sometimes sat multiple dogs at once. A sitter with a fenced in yard was something we wanted to have, since in case walking our timid dog potentially was a challenge, the fenced in yard was an alternative for him doing his business. He warmed up well enough though. She was local to us so we didn’t have to drive too far. It was awesome she accepted a bigger dog since some sitters don’t. She had competitive rates at the time of listing in comparison to other Rover sitters that we were looking at. Overall if needed we could see ourselves requesting future bookings again.”
“Karen made a last minute trip so easy and stress free when our usual sitter was unavailable. Coconut was very spoiled during the stay and came home so happy. We will be booking with her again for sure!”
“Rebecca is so welcoming! Koda felt comfortable during the meet and greet so I knew his first time with Rebecca would go well. She sent me pictures, how he was doing, and a little extra reassurance to make him at ease. 💛 🐕”

“Darcy and Dave were fantastic with our Bailee! We truly appreciate the care and attention they gave to our aging Beagle. They kept us updated on how Bailee was settling in and shared adorable photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Highly recommend them!”
“Joshua is AMAZING! He took such good care of our little baby, and she warmed up to him immediately. So glad to have someone so dependable, caring, and altogether great to watch her!”
“Susan took such wonderful care of our dog, Maia. She and her daughter are so kind and it was obvious they both were invested in seeing Maia was well looked after. We’re usually nervous to leave our dog with someone new, but Maia immediately seemed so comfortable with them, it was easy to relax. We’ve never seen her so happy at a sitter’s house, both in the updates we got and when we came to pick her up. So thankful to have found such a wonderful home away from home for our girl and hope she can stay with them in the future. On top of all that, when we accidentally left an item behind when we picked up Maia, Susan went out of her way to drop it off to us the very next day. Truly so thoughtful and a wonderful, caring dog sitter!”
“Kristine made the whole experience easy and reassuring. We dropped our dogs off at her place, and she kept us updated with plenty of messages and photos while they were in her care. She was friendly, punctual, and fair, and we could tell our dogs were in good hands. We’d happily book with Kristine again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable sitter!”
“Lysi & Seth are fantastic! They accommodated a short notice boarding for our sweetheart pup, Luna. They sent regular updates with pics and have excellent communication while we were out of town. Their most important characteristic is the genuine care for other’s animals they have. Lysi & Seth truly love animals and they treat them as if they were their own. We would recommend them to any looking for top tier animal care.”
“Gail was amazing! She cared for my dog Sasha as if she was her own. She sent me pictures of Sasha playing and resting with her dog every day while I was away. Sasha was visibly happy when I dropped her off and when I picked her up so I knew for sure she was happy being there. Sasha loves to swim and jump in the pool and being that Gail has a pool, it was a big bonus for Sasha being there. Gail's care was way better than any boarding facility I've used in the past. I will definitely be going to her for any future boardings.”
“Great communication and made sure we and our doggy were comfortable with their stay. Very accommodating and sent lots of updates on our 3 night dog boarding. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Tiffany (and family) are so gracious and kind and just an all around great house/family for my human-obsessed springerdoodle. So many updates and pics…it really is a worry free experience!! Thank you soo much!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Malabar
Gretchen and her family are truly the best. They took such wonderful care of Molly, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Molly gets nervous during thunderstorms, and she was staying with them during the terrible flash flooding in Brevard County. Gretchen went above and beyond to make sure our baby felt safe and comforted, giving her extra love and attention during the storms. She also kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us such peace of mind.We absolutely love leaving Molly in their care. Gretchen and her family are trustworthy, compassionate, and genuinely loving pet sitters. We couldn’t ask for anyone better to care for our girl. Highly recommend them! ❤️
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.
Adam and Katie were absolutely wonderful dog sitters! They were easy to communicate with, responded promptly, and sent plenty of photo updates throughout the stay so I knew my dog was in great hands. I would book with them again in a heartbeat and encourage others to do the same.
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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Malabar is $27 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $38 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 November 2026, there are 499 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Malabar. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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, we recommend 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.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Malabar. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
