About: I have been surrounded by dogs for my entire life, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior and a genuine passion for providing quality pet care. In addition to my personal experience as a lifelong dog owner, I spent a year working at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. Through this experience, I developed skills in supervising group play, monitoring behavior, maintaining feeding and medication schedules, and ensuring that each dog received individualized attention and care. Working in a professional pet care environment taught me the importance of patience, reliability, and clear communication with pet owners. As a college student with a flexible schedule and a love for animals, I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets and homes are in trustworthy hands. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care while maintaining your pet’s normal routine, creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both you and your pets. I am a full time college student, going into my third year at Florida Tech, with a class schedule I can work around. I have classes four days a week, with a mix of morning and afternoon availability. Aside from being a student, I have a part-time job with flexible hours, so I can work out times around both schedules! For walks, sitting, and overnight stays, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and any specific preferences or routines. During walks, I make sure pets get appropriate exercise while keeping them safe and supervised. For sitting and overnight stays, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I also make sure the home is kept clean and secure and provide regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: On top of pet sitting and dog walking prior, I have volunteered at a humane society, giving me experience with a variety of pets and temperaments. I'm a current college student, so I have plenty of time outside of classes to take care of your beloved pets as needed whenever you may need me. To care for the pets in your home, I feed them, play with them, and keep a close eye on them to keep them out of trouble, as well as anything else that could possibly be needed.

I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, baths, medications, cleaning up after pets, and keeping them company.

“Josh was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter for my cat, Milo. While I was away, Milo was clearly well cared for: he was fed, had plenty of fresh water, and his litter box was clean. What meant the most to me was coming home to a calm, happy cat. Milo can sometimes get anxious when I’m gone, but this time he seemed completely at ease, which really speaks to the level of care and attention Josh provided. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Milo was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter!”

About: You could probably say I enjoy being around dogs more than most people. I consider dogs angels. I love to spoil them. My two girls are very spoiled. I have always had a dog. At one time I had 4 large dogs. I know what distress looks like and I know animal safeguarding. My husband and I have a deep bond with animals. We will care for your dog just as if they were ours. I’m a retired teacher and I love and truly understand dogs. I will love your pet as if he/she were my own. I’ve done all kinds of medications including kidney care involving injections and oral medicine. I have a fenced in yard and a safe place to walk dogs. I have two female Shitzus and they are very very friendly. I have had puppies, teenage dogs, and seniors. We only care for one families’ dog(s) at a time so they receive the care they deserve. We will send lots of pictures of your dog during our time with us and we will always follow your care instructions.

About: Good day. My name is Tyisha, and I am an experienced dog care provider. I have been caring for dogs of various breeds and sizes, including those with high energy levels. As I work from home, I am well-equipped to provide a suitable environment for athletic or active dogs. However, it is essential that your dog is friendly towards children. I have three dogs of my own, so a meet and greet session is necessary to ensure compatibility. My services include playtime, cuddle time, petting, and walks, tailored to meet your pet's individual needs. I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care for your furry friend. I work from home, so I would be able to care for your pet! Daycare drop-off and pick-up hours are between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Any time after 8 p.m. would need to be booked as boarding with pick-up the following morning. I offer extended stays as well. Boarding request drop-offs are anytime before 9:30 a.m. or anytime in the evening by 8 p.m. On the day of pick-up, pets must be picked up anytime in the morning. Any time after that, a daycare fee will be charged. I have a fenced-in two-lot property with three of my own fur babies who will keep your dog entertained. We have a dog door, so they can go in and out as they please. All gates around the fence are always locked, so they are safe to play in the backyard.

“Mary went above and beyond to make sure Charlie (and our fish) were well taken care of during our trip. We never had to worry and she routinely stayed over the thirty minute time slot and gave him long walks to let him get his time outside in. He’s a bigger dog with some reactivity with small animals and she handled him with no issues at all and extreme care. From the pictures we got we could tell that Charlie really loved her! I highly recommend Mary for dog sitting!!”

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 for Dog Sitting in Malabar on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,169 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Malabar. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Malabar stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
