“Destiny is the BEST!!! Highly recommend her!!!!!!! Second time she has stayed - I’m 100% confident and comfortable and could not recommend her more - the dogs are happy and well cared for, she’s a fabulous communicator and we are just so incredibly at ease knowing she’s at home when we can’t be. She’s simply the BEST!!!”
“Andrea was great! She was on time, super nice, and flexible with our schedule. She sent me photos and updates throughout the day, so I know my 2 dogs were in good hands. Will book with her again!”
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs but have been dog sitting for several years now. At home my family has two very high-energy dogs so I know what it takes to keep them occupied and exercised. We can have lots of play time if that’s what your dog enjoys or just hangout together around the house if that’s more their speed. You can guarantee on receiving updates and photos of your dog while away if all the fun things we are doing! We will do a long walk or run or playtime in the morning before it’s too hot out. Throughout the day we will have outside time and can do shorter walks or go on adventures together and in the evening another long walk or playtime! My schedule is super flexible. I follow your care instructions so the dog has the same rules and routines while you’re away. I want your dog to be comfortable and have fun while you’re away so you don’t have to worry.
“We really enjoyed having her stay with our dogs! She was so nice and caring, and I really appreciated that she checked on them regularly throughout the day. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were getting plenty of attention while we were away. I also really liked that she’s studying veterinary medicine—it made me feel even more comfortable knowing our dogs were in such caring and knowledgeable hands. We’d definitely have her watch them again!”
“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!!!”
“Aramie was great with my 2 pets. They were well loved amen care of for our 15 days away. I would highly recommend Aramie, she keeps you informed and is trustworthy. I cannot thank her enough for giving me a piece of mind while out of the country.”

“Mindy is awesome ! She agreed to an early 6:30 am house sitting and was even a tad early ! The puppies recognized her immediately and barely noticed when I left and were napping when I returned. We all feel safe with Mindy and appreciate her.”
“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.”
“Matthew was great to our two pups. He was diligent and professional giving me updates of the dogs. He kept our house clean and organized. He took excellent care of my schnauzer that was limping. I will definitely book him again in the future!”
“We were so fortunate that Ruth was available to watch our animals. We were so comfortable with her communication and care of our fur babies. Ruth went above and beyond to make sure that our babies were cared for and sent us numerous pictures while we were away. We are so glad to find a new sitter to trust our home and animals with since our regular sitter had a last-minute issue and was unable to sit for us. Thanks so very much, Ruth, for doing a great job. She even stayed later than we requested, which was appreciated.”
“Hannah was amazing with my pups! She spent the night at my house and kept me informed through photos and text messages. She came out to do a meet and greet beforehand which was also very comforting. If you are looking for a dependable, trustworthy and honest sitter for your fur babies, I would highly recommend Hannah!”
“We are very thankful for Brandy! She is responsive, Trustworthy, friendly, punctual and our dogs love her!!! She also left the house clean and followed instructions. We will definitely be contacting her again next time we go out of town. Thank you again, Brandy!!”
“Kerrie is the absolute best when it comes to watching our sweet little Frenchie, Ramsey. She always checks in with me and keeps me posted with their activities throughout the day. She sends lots of pictures of their activities and upon arrival from my weekend my house is nice and clean. I highly recommend her with your fur babies!”
“Emily did a fantastic job taking care of our two dogs while we were off getting married. She was punctual, communicative, sent pictures of the pups daily, and took great care of the house while we were away. Would highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely book with her again if we ever need a sitter. Thanks Emily!”
“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 :)”
“Kenzi was absolutely amazing! Poppy and Biscuit were definitely loved while I was away and she gave plenty of updates on their activities. She left my house spotless and I will 100% be reaching out again any time I’m away and can’t take the fur babies with me.”
“Very impressed with the care that Sarah took with my dog. I had left my instruction and she followed everything I asked for. My dog was very happy and well taken care of during my 2 week vacation.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I love all of them and would love to give your family a piece of mind while you take a vacation or short trip knowing your fur baby is well taken care of. No problem giving them any medicine they need or special diets. I’ve also fostered some dogs and found them amazing homes. I work part-time, about 5 to 7 hours a day, four days a week, with no late nights, so your pet will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I’m always around to play, cuddle, and take them out as much as they need. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is keeping their routine as normal as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walk times, and any rules you have in place so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I provide plenty of playtime, enrichment, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. I treat every pet like my own, staying attentive to their mood, energy level, and any changes in behavior. If anything seems off, I’ll reach out to you right away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Malabar on Rover is $53.45 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 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 September 2026, there are 694 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
- 100% 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.
