“Jace is great. We have booked multiple house sittings with them. Photos and updates are provided regularly. Our dog and home are both well cared for by Jace each time. Highly recommended!”
“Thomas is so wonderful and thoughtful and all of my animals loved him. He gave such great updates and I felt at ease knowing my pets were being treated so well. I have a cat and a dog that are very anxious and he did exceptionally meeting their needs and they really warmed up to him, which is not a thing they do often! I also have a dog with arthritis and he was very cognizant of his status and made sure to take social care of him. 15/10 recommend Thomas!”
“Christina did an amazing job watching Toby! He can definitely be difficult about coming out of his room and going outside to pee, but she was so patient and caring with him. I’d definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to watch their pet!”
“Kaitlyn did amazing with my dog! We just moved to Clovis from Gilroy so my dog has had some anxiety. She was still able to get him to eat with her while I was at work. Thanks so much Kaitlyn!”
“Our pups seemed very content when we got home from our weekend trip. Shauna came early to make sure they were happy and even remade the bed in the room where she stayed.”
“Tiffany was amazing with my girls! She is sweet, prompt, a great communicator and very easy to work with. I’m glad my dogs got to enjoy her company when I was gone!”
“Kendra is amazing!! From our first meet and greet, she let my 90lb dog give her kisses all over her face and they were comfortable together right off the bat. She gave proactive updates and was great at communicating while we were gone. We will definitely be booking with Kendra again!!”
“Wow! What a relief to have found Victoria! She is kind and sweet, loves animals and was so sweet to mine! I was able to go on a last minute trip with my family and relax knowing they were in good hands!”
“Pups and kitty were well taken care of. I also forgot to disarm my house and Jason worked it all out with the alarm company.I will definitely use them again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and really started to help take care of them when I was around 15. I dog sit for family and for friends whenever they need and have always enjoyed it! Pet care for me is whenever I’m available. I do work part time and I’m a full time student but even if I am busy I can make time for your fur baby! I won’t be able to care for dogs in my own home because I am in an apartment. I will take care of the animal however the owner (you) recommends, and will make sure the animal gets a lot of love/attention! :)
“Stephanie did a great job looking after our boys! She kept us in the loop at all times, she was kind and helpful, gave the boys all the exercise and affection they crave, and our dogs adore her. We will definitely rebook :-)”
“Alexis was amazing with my senior cat! Went above and beyond taking Sheba to her regularly scheduled vet tech appointment and had great communication keeping me updated, with some super cute photos of course!”
“Edelyn was an amazing sitter to our furrbabies! This was our first time using the app and getting to know a dog sitter. She made everything great from the start to us coming home from our trip. During the dog sitting weekend while we were away, she made sure to end updates and send texts if she had any questions. We are so happy to have found a caring person for our little furry ones.”
“Kimberly was wonderful! So reliable and attentive the entire time. She sent lots of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with her again! -Beth and Knox”
“After being away for 16 days, I came home to happy healthy animals well cared for plus plants thriving! She keep with updated on the status of my animals on a regular bases and informed me of minor changes so I can take care of it when I returned (dog leash was destroyed again).”
“Eleonora did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and 2 cats in our home. She walked our dog every day and kept us posted throughout the visit with messages and pics of our fur kids. She is very reliable and we would definitely book her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 16 and I’m now 26 . My friends, family members and my boss have trust me with their paw-friends & you can to🐶❤️ I also have experience working with elder dogs and giving them their medication as needed . I’ve dog sat for so many friends and family for the past several years and it’s honestly so rewarding 😊🌸 Pet care is already part of my routine because I enjoy spending time with my two dogs . I make time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and giving pets the attention and care they need to feel happy and comfortable. 🐾 I treat every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home clean, secure, and provide regular updates to pet parents. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment with plenty of exercise, enrichment, and companionship. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. 🐾
The median cost per night for house sitting in Malaga is $49
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Malaga
Juliana is an absolute sweetheart and wonderful sitter! My shy cat warmed up to her quickly and seemed really happy to be taken care of by her while I was out of town. My cat needed ear drops twice daily while she was there and she was able to give them to him effectively. She has prior experience giving cats a variety of medications which was really helpful. Super responsive and checked in with me daily. I would highly recommend Juliana as a sitter for any kitty and I will definitely book her again the next time I need someone to watch my cat :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Malaga
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 560 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Malaga. 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 Malaga 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 Malaga 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 Malaga 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 Malaga. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
