About: Hi there! I'm Louise, and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember — I grew up with dogs and cats and have never been without a pet by my side. That lifelong experience means I'm genuinely comfortable and confident with animals of every age and stage, from bouncy puppies and curious kittens to gentle, slower-paced seniors who need a little extra care. I understand that handing your pet over to someone new can feel nerve-wracking, so I treat every dog and cat in my care the way I'd want my own treated — with patience, attention, and plenty of affection. I'm experienced in administering medication, so if your pet has ongoing health needs, allergies, or is recovering from something, you can relax knowing they're in capable hands. Whether your pet needs a calm routine, an active play session, or just someone to sit with them and keep them company, I'll take the time to learn their personality and quirks so they feel safe and comfortable. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout our time together, because I know how much peace of mind that brings. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. I'd love to meet you both! I'm a full-time parent, so pet care fits neatly around the school day. I'm available for visits on weekdays during school hours, plus some Saturdays, giving pets a calm, consistent routine. I provide care entirely in your own home, so your pet stays in their familiar environment with their normal routine, bed, and belongings — no stress of travel or a new space. I take time to learn each pet's habits, boundaries, and any specific needs before I start, and I'm comfortable administering medication if required. I always follow the instructions you leave for feeding, walks, or house rules, and I'm attentive to small signs of stress or discomfort so I can respond calmly and appropriately. I keep the home secure while I'm there — locking doors, keeping gates closed, and leaving everything as I found it — and I send photo and text updates throughout the visit so you always know how things are going.
About: I’ve had 2 large dogs, 3 cats, and 2 bunnies my whole life! I’m ready and excited for whatever gets thrown at me! I love playing and caring for your pets probably more than they do haha Because I finished my major at Pepperdine i’m looking for things to fill my time while paying my bills, walking, playing, and caring for your animals brings joy to me I have a pretty flexible schedule with school so we can work together to figure out a plan that will work for both of us!

About: I have a genuine love for animals and treat every pet like family. As a former educator and devoted pet owner, I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, my goal is to make your furry friend feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets, ensuring they receive consistent love and care! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I follow their routines, respect their needs, and provide a loving, attentive, and secure environment for all.

About: Hello, animal parents! I’m Taylor, a 36-year-old long-time professional animal and human caretaker with great references. I’m available for drop-in visits for cats, dogs, horses and other hoofed loved ones, as well as reptiles, amphibians, fish, and any other little critters. Need me to visit your tarantula? I would love nothing more. :) My partner and I have two cats, three dogs, and pond fish. I have many years of experience with senior cats and pups and administering medications. Happy to do some heavy lifting for pets with mobility challenges (up to 80lbs). I’m big on respecting animals’ boundaries, and know all the body language signs for dogs, cats, and horses. Bonus: my own beloved fur children and I have also completed many positive reinforcement dog training courses (so I won’t undo the progress you’ve made with your puppy)! Double bonus: natural horsemanship classes. In my spare time, I like to read, hike, play games, spend time with my human and animal loved ones, and volunteer at the LGBT Center. By day, I am a caregiver (to humans), a pet-sitter, and a social work student. I’m available for early morning and evening animal visits during the week, and morning, midday, and evening visits on the weekends. At this time, I am only available for drop-in visits. I am careful, respectful, and kind. I treat the animals temporarily under my care as I would want someone to care for my own fur children. By hiring me, you’re getting the benefit of the experience of an eldest child of five who cared for her siblings (and pets) in her teens, then dogs, cats, and horses professionally in her early 20s, and elderly patients (and so many more animals) in her 30s.
About: I have had cats since I was a young girl and own two 10 year old cats now, adopted from rescue shelters. I love all animals! I will ensure they have clean food and water, play and cuddle time, clean litter, and lots of love. I have five star ratings because I am caring, reliable, respectful, clean and communicative and truly love cats and the people I meet. I work remotely and have flexible hours so can pop in for a day time visit or stay overnights when I’m not caring for my daughter (have shared custody so a good amount of time on my own and enjoy traveling to care for cats too). I am attentive and communicative and will ask for your preferences but care for cats in their home and comfort zone. I am very familiar with cats and comfortable around animals.
About: I have responsibly cared for animals since childhood and throughout my adulthood. Growing up my family home was always open to new pets - cats, dogs, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, you name it! There I learned the skills required to care for an animal of any temperament, I learned to adapt their unique needs and to help them feel safe and secure in your absence. I have years of experience as a trustworthy pet owner and caretaker of dogs and cats of all ages. I promise to care for your pet reliably, mindfully, and intuitively, pulling from years of developed expertise to ensure your emotional ease and their comfort and wellbeing. I have been building my business app-free but now I’m so happy to offer my services to fellow animal lovers through Rover. I love what I do, I’m flexible to your schedule, and I hope to offer you peace of mind (and lots of pictures upon request) knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for! I work from home and my hours are flexible so I am able to provide your pet with the 24/7 care and attention they need. I live in a one bedroom apartment, if I am caring for your pet in my own space I have plenty of room for your pet to play. I love to be outside and am available for walks at any hour of the day.
About: I’m passionate about caring for pets and creating a safe, happy environment for them. With experience in walking, feeding, and giving lots of love, I make sure every furry friend feels comfortable and cherished. 🐾 I will work depending on your needs. I can work with both puppies and adult dogs. I will be a great company for your friend I will create an active rest for your dog in your home or in safe areas. I will interest your dog in motivating games or performing commands
“Gabby did a perfect job of watching our house and our two kitties who are less than a year old. She regularly sent pictures and updates, and asked questions when appropriate. This was the first sitter I have booked through Rover, so I was a little nervous before I met her, but I never once felt like I had to wonder how the kitties were doing while we were away. We will definitely be returning customers for our next trip.”

My goal is to make both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care!

About: Hello! 🐾 Working with animals has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs and cats, including experience in dog grooming, working in a veterinary clinic, and providing professional pet-sitting services. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and truly dedicated to providing the best care possible for every pet I look after. I love going the extra mile for my clients and making sure their fur babies feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re away. Whether that means taking the pups on fun little field trips and adventures or simply staying home, cuddling, and keeping them company, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. 🐶💕 Your pets are family, and I treat them that way! 🐾🌸🩷 Feel free to send me a message so we can set up a meet-and-greet. I’d absolutely love the opportunity to meet you and your fur baby! ☺️🐶🐾💕 I have a very flexible schedule and am able to work around each client’s individual needs and routine. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules, whether that means daily visits, overnight stays, walks, or simply providing companionship and care while you’re away. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their family is away. When caring for pets, I like to learn as much as possible about their individual routines and needs so I can provide the best care possible. I like to know their feeding schedule, any medications they may be taking, and whether there are any behavioral or special needs I should be aware of. I also take into consideration their age, whether they are a puppy, kitten, adult, or senior, as some pets may need a little extra attention, patience, or care. For every pet-sitting arrangement, I also appreciate having an emergency contact and the information for their regular veterinarian or a nearby emergency vet, just in case something unexpected happens. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for just as they would be at home.

About: I've always embraced the fact that I've always had such an innate sense to relate to animals and being a pet caregiver is the best way to feed our souls I'm a freelance consultant so my schedule is flexible & can pivot to whatever is the priority at the time. My goal is to care for your pet as well as I would care for mine I have been a pet owner for the past 25 years & have an intuitive sense of what my dogs or cats need & want.

“Thankful to have had Susanna look after my cats. She was great at texting back, sent pictures of my kitties, follows all of care instructions and gave them yumm catnip and took care of them. Definitely will use her again and again.”

“Ashley is super responsive and great with our 2 cats. She asks all the right questions when your mind is focused on upcoming trip so nothing is forgotten. She goes above/beyond and takes the best photos which is kind of fun to see while you’re away. Pretty sure our cats didn’t miss us thanks to Ashley being so great. I highly recommend contacting Ashley.”

About: A focal point in my life since day one has been animals. Pets in every home. I went to high school adjacent to the LA Zoo. I interned at a dairy farm at UC Davis. I started cat/dog/housesitting in 2012. I’ve looked after dogs with different energy levels and personalities, as well as cats who need anything from lots of attention to complete independence. I’m especially good at reading cues and adjusting quickly. I’m very routine-oriented and reliable, so feeding schedules, medications, and daily habits are always followed closely. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. Beyond pet care, I’m someone who naturally keeps a home in great shape. I’m tidy, respectful, and attentive to details, happy to water plants, keep things organized, and make sure everything feels calm and well cared for. What really sets me apart is that I treat every sit with intention. Your pet isn’t just being watched, they’re being understood and cared for in a way that helps them feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely at ease. I am working part-time and have the time, energy and unconditional love to provide care for all pets. I live alone and am home most of the day. I abide by your rules and make sure your pets remain taken care of. My goal is to ensure everyone’s safety and wellbeing. I am a big walker and live near parks.

“Sona was absolutely wonderful. She was very responsive, and paid a lot of attention for our elder cat Butters. During his stay, our cat is not feeling well (this wasn't Sona at all, he was an older cat, and the anxiety got to him), Sona kept us up to date with his condition, and found different ways to feed him and comfort him. We are so grateful that Sona went way above and beyond to take care of Butters.”

About: I’ve taken care of 7 dogs of all ages in my 10 years of experience. 4 cats, all ages too, in my 10+ year career. I am working part-time, mostly on-call right now, with my own vehicle. This gives me a very flexible schedule for weekdays and weekends. Reach out! My preference is at the client’s house. My apartment can only have small cats and dogs temporarily. My experience proves I’m trustworthy in your home!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Malibu is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $46 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 November 2026, there are 1,983 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Malibu. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
