“Amazing sitters!! So caring and communicated perfectly! Sent tons of videos and pictures and Joey had a blast! He came home and slept so much from having so much fun with these sitters and the other dogs he played with. Thank you so much highly recommend.”
“Mak had a wonderful time!!! Scott and Angel kept us updated with pics throughout every day. Thank you so much for watching our baby. We will definitely reach out to watch him during our next trip. 💕”
“Denise was great to take my dog in a week before I had to leave. My dog got along great with her dog. I recommend her highly. My dog had to take medicine for allergies and Denise didn’t hesitate to do the job. I will bring my dog to her anytime.”
“Caesar was, without question, the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had! From the moment Minnie and Bunny arrived, it was obvious they were being cared for like they were part of his own crew. His daily “Captain’s Log” updates were absolutely priceless. They weren’t just updates, They were hilarious, creative, and so thoughtfully written that we looked forward to reading each one. They perfectly captured our girls’ unique personalities and made us laugh every single day while giving us complete peace of mind that they were happy, safe, and loved. It’s rare to find someone who not only provides exceptional care but also puts so much heart, humor, and effort into making pet parents feel connected while they’re away. Caesar truly went above and beyond. Minnie and Bunny clearly adored their stay, and so did we. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets like family, keep you smiling with the most entertaining updates, and provide outstanding care, look no further than Caesar. We will absolutely be booking with him again. Five stars aren’t enough!”
“Adrienne and her family were fantastic caregivers for my young dog! She sent me frequent updates, pictures, and videos, and I could tell he was being well-loved and having fun the whole time. It was such a relief to be free from worrying about him while I was away and I truly think he enjoyed his vacation as much as I did mine 😃.”
“Kristen was super professional. Handled our Rocky in a very caring and kind way. He was happy going into her home and when we picked him up. We will definitely use her again.”
“Felicia and Greg did a great job keeping my dachshund happy for the week I was gone. He got plenty of playtime and lots of love. Will definitely use them again, thank you!”
“Lora did an amazing job watching our golden pup, Benjie! She sent lots of pictures everyday and kept in touch very well. Benjie had a great time while he was there. She took awesome care of him and we will definitely be using her services again in the future! Benjie had such a good time, he didn’t want to leave when we picked him up! Thank you Lora for taking such good care of our baby.”
“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.”
“Digna and Joseph took excellent care of our Jack Russell while we were away. They spent a lot of time making sure he had plenty of exercise, love and attention. I would book with them again and highly recommend them as kind , loving pet sitters.”
“So happy and grateful we found Bonnie and Ron on here. Our Salem was SO well cared for during our time away. They provided updates and took care of her as her own. They provided much love and attention. Salem enjoyed going for walks, played fetch, and we could not have asked for more. They are just kind people, I highly recommend them!”
“Mark and his wife were so kind and took care of Ozzy "our senior dog" for 2 days at their home. We really appreciate it. My dog came home happy and healthy . I highly recommend this boarding service to anyone looking for a safe, loving place for their pet!”
“Patricia is the only one we will ever leave Brodie with. She sent pictures daily to us. When he wouldn’t eat she hand fed him. Made him feel at home. Brodie loved it there. When we need a sitter again l, it will be Patricia for sure”
“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!!!!!”
“Olivia saved the day! Had a last minute cancellation by my regular boarding arrangement. She even offered to pick up and drop off my puppy. My dog had a great stay and came home happy.”
“We have left Ruby with Tanya and George several times when we travel out of state. She is happy and safe with them and we are so grateful to know she is in good hands with them. And they have been very flexible with us. We are happy to recommend them.”
“Rebecca was boarding our George for 9 nights in her tidy house, there is a plenty of room for dogs to play in her fenced in yard. it is so much more superior to the overcrowded dog daycare & boarding facilities! Rebecca is a reliable and kind person, and we would highly recommend her.”
“Olivia and family were terrific watching our Sully. Lots of picture updates and overall well being of him while he spent his time with Olivia and her family. Sully got lots of walks and attention. Overall great experience having Sully stay with her.”
“Debra was amazing! She was so easy to communicate and coordinate with. She took such good care of my babies, sent pictures and updates daily, and made sure they felt at home. Will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”

Samantha was absolutely wonderful. She always sent me pictures and updates on Chubby everyday. She was really nice and professional. Chubby had a blast and I will definitely be using her again. Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their furball!
A 2-week trip is hard for me to be away from my darling Laika, but with Caesar taking care of her, I feel completely at ease. I'm so grateful knowing she is with someone who gives her so much love, attention, and care especially for all her medical needs. Caesar shows me this every day with his funny, playful updates and pics. I never have to worry and can truly enjoy my time away until I see her again.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Malabar on Rover is $26.75 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 511 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Malabar sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Malabar landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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.
