“Jaycee was great to work with! We appreciated her enthusiasm to work with our cats. Jaycee was very flexible and communicative with us which made it a breeze to work with her. She is very experienced with cats which made us more at ease with having her take care of them. She even persisted with attempting to give our grumpy old cat medicine. We would absolutely recommend Jaycee and use her services again in the future.”
“I really appreciated the love and care Lauren provide. I left for 3 days out of town and enjoyed her pictures and had a good peace of mind. Will definitely keep using her services,”
“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.”
“Brian is an absolute godsend and my doggies enjoy every minute they spend with him! Although I miss my doggies very much on every trip, I am always at ease that they are in the best of hands with Brian, who spends more than enough time with my babies during every visit and ensures that they are well fed and happily playing in the backyard. Even when they start digging holes underneath the fence, Brian goes above and beyond and fills in each hole using his own shovel. He takes great care of my doggies and truly treats them like they’re his own while I’m away. I always appreciate his sincerity, reliability and flexibility and look forward to every message and update I receive from Brian. Thank you immensely and looking forward to working with you very soon!”
“Samantha replied to all of my messages immediately. I am very picky with my dogs, so I had a detailed list of instructions, and she followed them precisely. One of my pups has an issue with snapping, but Samantha gave him his space and had no problems. I will definitely use her again.”
“Ella was amazing, I loved how she came and met with my dogs before she started coming. And she was really understanding of one of my doggies being a little scared. But she took the time to let him warm up to her and get comfortable and for that I’m really appreciative. I definitely recommend booking with Ella and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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!”

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.

About: I am currently available Monday - Friday 6pm-11pm. I have always been around dogs. I have one named Rocco and my parents have two, Chloe and Paco, they are pitties. I am currently available Monday - Friday 6 pm-11pm. I currently have a 12 yr old dog. He is an ESA dog. Hope to hear from you! I cannot board at the moment as I live in an apartment. They do not allow boarding. I can only do drop in visits and dog walking.
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: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals, including training service dogs and working professionally as a groomer. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, different breeds, and pets requiring extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I am currently home full time after returning from deployment, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have plenty of flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I offer both in-home pet sitting and boarding in my home. For boarding, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home environment where pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, medication, and daily routines as closely as possible. For in-home visits, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and maintain their usual schedule. With over 10 years of experience, including service dog training and professional grooming, I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments.
“Emily was a fantastic sitter for my dog and my cat! She went above and beyond. I left instructions for taking care of both of them, and she frequently updated me on how they were doing and sent lots of cute pictures. I've never come home to happier pets than when Emily came to visit them and make sure they were taken care of. If you're looking for an attentive, caring, thoughtful person to take care of your pets, Emily should be your first choice.”
“First time on this app she was helpful, punctual and took good care of my puppy. She also came through for me last minute which I definitely appreciated. Ill be rebooking with her in the coming weeks no doubt”
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.
About: My love for animals started early—I actually started my first pet-sitting business in my apartment complex when I was 12, and Pampered Paws turned into one busy summer.! I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have personally cared for two medically needy pets, so I’m comfortable with medications and providing extra care when needed. With my strong background in healthcare, I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely invested in your pet’s wellbeing. I only care for one pet at a time so they receive my full attention, affection, and—of course—plenty of treats. I recently lost my sweet baby calico, Sushi, after many wonderful years together. Caring for animals has always been a meaningful part of my life, and I would be honored to care for your pet with the same patience, love, and devotion I gave my own. I do not work during the weekend and I do not have children so your pet will have my undivided attention. I’m happy to provide plenty of play both indoor and outdoor, based on pet and owner preferences. I live in a quiet neighborhood, no children, and no pets of my own at this time. In your home, I was raised to take off my shoes at the door, respect other people’s homes like my own, and leave everything better than I found it. I am happy to make your time away from home filled with ease knowing your home and your best friend(s) are in great hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Malabar
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.
ABOVE AND BEYOND! Alexander and Dorys are the most reliable, trustworthy, responsible, kind, loving and fun people that I have ever hired to care for my pets or my three children! I highly recommend hiring them if you want zero worries about your fur babies or your home. I could share two weeks' worth of daily examples of their great communication and execution of my list of tasks, but I will share just one: CHRISTMAS EVE. 5:30pm. Jones, our indoor/outdoor cat, wouldn't come home. The entire family was multiple states away, as were most of our friends and neighbors. Alexander and Dorys arrive a bit early to get Jones safely inside for the night, cleaned the box and food and water dishes, and were ready to play and cuddle for 30 minutes. (always sending me pics and updates.) They kept calling for him. Did the nightly routine: selected a good TV program for him, checked thermostat and garbage, and kept calling for him --- on Christmas Eve when they were on the way to their family gathering. They were communicating with me that Jones was not home, and I told them they should leave the cat door open and to go to dinner with their family. It was Christmas Eve! (And, Jones often doesn't come back home immediately when called.) I said the neighbor would keep an eye out. But, Alexander and Dorys didn't feel good about leaving Jones outside and didn't want me to worry. Instead of leaving him outside like I said to do, they tracked Jones' Airtag that I had shared previously. The lovely couple went throughout the neighborhood, calling him and shaking his treats until they found him two blocks away. Then, Jones didn't want to ride in the car. So, Dorys walked and carried Jones all the way back home. And, they still petted him and gave him his nightly catnip party! I will attach a pic of the walk home with Jones looking like he's clawing her arm, but she never said a single word about that. They were just happy to have found him and made sure my fur baby was safely home so I could have a worry-free Christmas Eve. I believe this single example of my experience with Alexander and Dorys is a real testament to the care they would give your pets. In addition, they also cared for my large 'high-maintainence' German Shepherd the week that he had leg surgery for new ACL, and Dorys sat on the couch beside him and read with him the entire night to ease his separation anxiety. Gave medication, treats, and took care of Jones' indoor/outdoor needs... Dr. Dog was the least anxious that I have ever seen him upon our return home. He was so happy and peaceful ... another testament to the connection they have with the animals. You can see it. They are animal people, truly kind, and the pets and I love them - you will, too! :) ( Most of all for me busy working and traveling with family, etc.... I like not worrying about anything, no matter what. They took care of everything that came up without me giving a second thought. Worth every penny for the peace of mind... everything taken care of... everyone is happy!)

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Malabar is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $33 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 October 2026, there are 1,194 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
