“This was my first time not only using Rover but leaving my dog with someone to watch. I was quite nervous and Gus is still a puppy so he has LOTS of puppy energy. Alex was great and was even willing to meet before the visit to chat about Gus and play with him. I really liked how Alex has a boxer herself and knew how energetic they can be. She took Gus on long walks and played. I loved receiving pictures of him on each of her visits. Alex knew the right questions to ask so she could do a great job. It was a relief to know I was leaving Gus with someone safe. Highly recommend picking Alex for your next sitter!”

About: I’m not just a pet sitter, I’m pet lover. I’ve cared for my own dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and fish growing up. I’ve also cared for the pets of my family, friends, and neighbors. In high school I graduated from a veterinary technician program, and while I changed my career path, I still have the training and experience to care for animals no matter the age, personality, or needs. I can also administer medication, bathe and lightly groom your pets upon request. I work from home and my schedule allows plenty of flexibility to ensure my pets as well as yours will get the care they need. It’s not just about the pets. I understand how important it is for you to return to a tidy, safe, and secure environment after your travels. Rest assured, your house is in good hands with me. I’ll keep things are running smoothly, water your plants, collect your mail, and ensure your home remains a haven of tranquility.

About: I have been a dog owner my whole life, and have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I have experience with puppies, older dogs, special needs (lots of medication) dogs, and working with multiple dogs at one time. My favorite part about working with dogs is being able to run and play with them. I am available early mornings and late nights. I also love trail walking/running, so I'll make sure your dog gets the exercise they need! I follow a rigorous routine of walking/running with my own dogs, and will take the same care with yours! Typically, I work from Tuesday through Saturday in an office. Generally, I can provide morning walks, and afternoon into evening care. Lunch time walks may be dependent of location! Caring for other dogs involves building trust through playtime, walks, and of course, treats! Making sure your dog is comfortable on walks and overnights is the top most priority.

About: Entrusting someone with your pet requires confidence, and I provide a level of care that goes beyond traditional pet sitting. As a Certified Veterinary Technician, I offer a unique combination of professional medical knowledge and personalized, attentive care designed to meet each pet’s individual needs. From routine companionship to specialized support for senior pets, those with medical conditions, or pets requiring medication, I am equipped to provide exceptional care with precision and compassion. My background in veterinary medicine allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health, ensuring your pet’s well-being is always the highest priority. I believe premium care means more than meeting basic needs—it means creating a calm, enriching, and secure experience where pets feel comfortable and valued. My goal is to provide discerning pet owners with complete peace of mind, knowing their beloved companions are receiving expert care in capable hands. For clients seeking professionalism, reliability, and a truly elevated standard of pet care, I am committed to delivering service you and your pet can trust. My schedule allows me to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the week. I work only one Saturday each month for approximately four hours, which gives me a highly flexible availability for pet sitting and boarding. I am home every evening, ensuring pets receive consistent companionship, routine, and care. As I work within a veterinary clinic setting, I also have the unique ability—if absolutely necessary—to bring a pet with me during work hours. In that environment, they would be closely supervised and surrounded by caring professionals, receiving plenty of attention throughout the day. This flexibility allows me to prioritize each pet’s comfort, safety, and well-being while accommodating their individual needs. I provide attentive, personalized care in a calm and welcoming environment. At this time, I do not have pets of my own, which allows me to offer visiting pets a comfortable space without concerns about compatibility with resident animals. I live in an apartment community with ample opportunities for walks, fresh air, and enrichment. There is also an on-site dog park, providing additional space for exercise and play. Beyond meeting daily care needs, I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with pets—whether that means engaging in play, offering companionship, or simply sharing quiet moments and snuggles. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and at ease while in my care.

About: I provide more than just pet sitting—I create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for every dog in my care, whether puppy or senior. I take the time to understand each dog's unique personality, routine, and needs, so they feel comfortable and at home. My schedule is very flexible as I work from home and if you need overnight care I can bring my laptop and work from anywhere while caring for your pet. I don’t have a fenced in yard but am comfortable walking your pet as often as necessary. In my home, they are in a clean and comfortable environment. In your home, with your instructions, your pets will enjoy their natural environment.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. As an adult, I have two dogs of my own and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, as well as dogs with allergies, food sensitivities, and special dietary needs. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual routine, personality, and comfort level, and I’m happy to follow specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications, or other care needs. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’m a stay-at-home mom and full-time online student, so I’m home for the majority of the day and have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I have open availability during both weekdays and weekends and can easily work walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks into my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own who are very different in breed, size, and age, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. My home has a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time and play. For care in your home, I’m generally available on weekdays from 9:00 AM–1:30 PM while my three children are in school. For services provided in my home, my schedule is much more flexible. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding instructions, and any special care needs to help them feel safe and comfortable.

About: Here’s a polished version of your message that keeps your voice but makes it flow more smoothly and professionally: Hello! My name is Kathleen, and I am Deaf. I have a deep love for dogs and many years of experience caring for them. I’ve cared for several of my own dogs, and my most recent dog, Nika, was with me until she passed away in January 2025. She was very special to me. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs—playing with them, feeding them, taking them on walks or outside for potty breaks, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I respect each dog’s personality and give them the space they need to feel comfortable and relaxed in my home. If you’re looking for someone gentle, patient, and experienced to care for your dog, I would love to help!If you want, dogs are welcome to rest with me, even on my bed if it helps them feel more at home. if your dog needs feeding, potty breaks, or playtime during the day. Just let me know your dog’s schedule, and I’ll follow it closely. I’m calm, gentle, and patient. I give dogs the space to be independent, but I’m always nearby when they need attention or love. House sitting — I would love to watch your pet, but while I work overnight Sunday through Thursday, my boyfriend is willing and happy to help watch your pet during those hours. I always take dogs out on a leash for potty breaks. I stay outside with them until they poop and pee. Sometimes we sit on the patio or relax on the grass for a few minutes. I also watch closely in case a dog has any allergies or needs special care outside. I give dogs the freedom to be themselves and stay comfortable while keeping them safe and cared for.

About: I've grown up in a house with animals constantly. At 1 point, having more than 10 animals in a house. We had cats, pigs, dogs and fish. As well as some reptiles and ferrets. It's genuingly one of the most enjoyable things in the world playing and figuring out what animals love. Especially as they get to know, you and warm up to you. I currently am in full-time school so a good portion of my time is spent studying or working. My schedule right now is flexible because I'm in between jobs. I'm free to go over to anyone's house and I am willing to carry first aid kit and have a vehicle in case of emergencies, like they need to go to an ER. I have a flexible schedule for anyone willing as well as know basic wound care and distribution of medication as well. If I had to take care of quite a bit of sick animals and I know the routine of keeping track of symptoms and documentation.

About: I’ve always loved pets and care for them like my own furry kids. It’s premium service at a value you can trust. I’m “Pet Sitter” certified by Udemy with an official certification. I have had previous experience sitting pets with special needs. Puppies/kittens, senior and anything in between are always welcome. My backyard is huge, fenced and sprayed for fleas and ticks regularly. I only give animals I watch filtered water and follow directions on what you want and when to feed them. That way your pet feels at home. I can make my schedule around yours. Anytime that is best for my customers, is best for me! I don’t even mind if it’s last minute or 1AM, I tailor to you! If you want you can leave something with your scent on it to help with separation anxiety. I play calm relaxing music for them through out the day, and also ‘Animal Planet’ if they like TV. If they feel up to it, we can even go to the nearest dog park if dog Mom or Dad approves of course. I have a fenced yard, gates, crates or beds so your pets are comfortable. I have a first aid kit and Vet nearby in case of any emergencies. I can provide for your dog’s true happiness with lots of hugs and love. They are allowed on the furniture, if that’s what they’re used to, I don’t mind as I put on couch covers. I just want them to feel at ease and comfortable while their parents are away. I also send pictures and updates on how they are adapting and adjusting.

About: I recently worked at the Florida Wildlife Hospital as an animal care technician! There I worked with vet techs and Doctors to rehab and release wildlife! I have experience in medical procedures involving wildlife and daily care of animal patients. I have been caring for Dogs, Cats, and Rodents since I was really young. That combined with my experience at The Florida Wildlife Hospital, I know I am capable of the care your furry friends need! From dogs as small as Teacup Yorkies to as giant as Great Danes, we have owned them and I know their needs! I have helped raise and train puppies, worked with foster dogs, and cared intentionally for senior dogs. I also have experience with many animals in the house at once, we frequented about 6 at a time! Over my travels the last few years, I have been able to help countless families care for their pets while they were away, and it is my passion to give them each the care they need to the best of my abilities. I will sacrifice time, energy, and anything your pet needs to stay healthy and THRIVING! p.s. I also have experience caring for and working with horses if that applies! When I am invited into your home to care for your pets you can rest assured that they will be loved and taken care of. I make sure my schedule fits around when they need to go for walks, to go potty, to eat, etc. And you can expect upon return that your home will be cared for too. I will always clean, collect the mail, water your plants if you desire, put the rubbish bins on the street, wash the bedding and towels I use, etc!

My 3 pups (all over 13 years old) were taken care of as if they were Gretchen’s own babies. Gretchen is one in a million! My pups just loved her and she loves them. Thank you for taking the stress, anxiety and guilt away from us. They are just too old and precious to take to a boarding facility. I will forever hire Gretchen to take care of my babies.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Malabar

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Malabar is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $34 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 1,156 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Malabar. 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Malabar choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Malabar with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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 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.
