“Destiny was amazing with our dogs! We have 3 dogs which can be a handful at times but she took great care of them. Put my mind at ease day 1 of our trip. Highly recommend and will be booking again in future!”
“Emily is a top-notch petsitter, taking special care of my two kitties while I was away on a long vacation. It made the trip so much easier knowing they were in her care. She was also a very thoughtful overnight houseguest, leaving my home spic and span, which also made my return special. I would highly recommend her for any services!”
“Sophia was so great with our Beau. She followed our instructions to a T, sent us updates on him a few times a day, and even let him convince her to take him on more walks than he usually gets 😂 it was so great to be on vacation and not have to worry that Beau was being taken care of with the same amount of love that we would. Beau loves her and so do we! I couldn’t recommend her enough!!!”
“We were so anxious about leaving our 2 younger fur babies because we had never left them before and they are pretty attached to us. When she came for an initial visit all of my babies went to her, even my little one that doesn’t take to people. Zarah put our minds at ease about leaving them. She sent photos daily and reassured us they were doing great. She slept in our bed with them so they could keep up their regular routine. We will be using her for future needs.”
“Mindy is a true blessing ! Mindy was prompt in our initial discussions and trip planning, then stayed with my two old dogs for 5 days and nights. She maintained her cool when the boys wouldn't eat on the 2nd day, staying in contact and patiently worked through some solutions. By the next morning everyone was back on track and brand new. Mindy sent pictures and updates regularly and made me absolutely confident that my pups were being well cared for. Mindy is the absolute best !!!!! Thank you Mindy !”

“Tracy is beyond amazing !! She watched our two nervous rescue girls while we were out of state and did such a great job taking care of them and our home. She was extremely kind and patient with our slow to warm up dogs and won them over quickly. She was so communicative throughout the stay and sent us so many great pictures of our girls having the best time with her. She gave them so much love and quality time throughout the stay I don’t think they even missed us. We cannot recommend Tracy enough and are excited that our girls have such a great sitter that they will look forward to spending time with :)”
“Holly watched our dog for a few days at our home. She was excellent with our pup who sometimes is a little grumpy. We were extremely comfortable with her caring for our dog in our house. Holly provided updates and pictures to us while we were away. If we ever need a sitter again Holly will be our first choice.”

Dunkin loves Katie and her husband Adam! The pictures and videos she sent me every evening show a relaxed and happy dog. Dunkin was treated like a little (senior) king and he had a wonderful staycation while we were out of town. It is so much easier to relax on vacation when we know that Dunkin is happy and well taken care of. She even feeds the fish! This is the second time we have used Katie and Adam and we will definitely use them again.
Jessica was great with our two little dogs! They were fed on time, taken out for plenty of time outside, played with, and crated properly at the end of the night. She was very good with my more "standoffish" dog and bonded well with her. We received plenty of pictures letting us know that they were happy and well cared for. Jessica was also very communicative to us, updating us about our dogs' status every few hours. It gave us a lot of peace of mind to know that there was someone doing such a great job caring for them. We would absolutely book with Jessica again if we need another dog-sitter in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Malabar on Rover is $53.28 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 710 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Malabar. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Malabar walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Malabar maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
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
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
