“First of all Ayni and Alfonsus are such a welcoming, friendly and kind couple. They were so sweet with my dog and treated him like his own child from the moment they met him. He was pampered beyond imagination which I am eternally grateful. Nervous, anxious dog no more after such a wonderful time with them! ❤️ truly appreciate them and the care and consistent communication throughout our time away! I can’t recommend them enough 🙌🏾🥰 I now need to find a way to make my dog understand he has to come back home 🤣❤️ thank you again for everything!!!”
“Mary was great with my dog. He doesn’t like everyone, who does? Lol But he did great with Mary and their dog. I couldn’t have asked for more, really. He’s very active and they let him run 2x a day plus he got to cool off in their pool. If you’re concerned about leaving your dog, choose Mary, it will make you feel good every time you go away:)”
“Rajarshi was fantastic with watching both of our dogs. I could tell when I picked them up they had been well taken care of. When I got them home they were content and happy. Rajarishi kept me informed during the day and was so kind when I first met him. If anyone is wanting a very very good dog sitter I whole hearted endorse Rajarishi.”
“Alice was great! She agreed to meet the dogs ahead of the stay to make sure they got along with the other dogs and handled them all with care. She is very responsive to messages and was understanding with a delay in the drop off. The dogs were tired and happy when we picked them up!”
“Kiyarash really went above and beyond for our dogs when one of them had an issue while in his care. He has such compassion for them. He communicated very well with me and was so good to them. I highly recommend boarding with Kiyarash.”
“Chenaie was amazing with our Bernese Mountain Dog Bliss! She kept us updated over the weekend with photos and videos of him playing and hiking. We were so thankful that she was able to extend his stay, at the last minute, when our flight was delayed. Bliss loved staying with her and we can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Chenaie!”

“Canny took excellent care of our senior dog! She even got our dog to play with others and feel completely comfortable! Such a change in our dog from the last time we used a regular boarding kennel. Thank you Cammy for being so patient and supportive of Abbey’s needs.”
“Roxy had a great stay with Amira! She was so close and cared for. Amira had great communication, and Roxy was pampered and in excellent hands, I know we will rebook!”
“Terra is an amazing sitter and took such great care of Haku! Haku is a more reserved and aloof dog, but he adapted very quickly and was comfortable right away. Terra sent regular updates with pictures, which I really appreciated as they gave me peace of mind throughout out my trip. Thank you so much, Terra! I will definitely book with you again for any future boarding needs. :)”

“Julieth and her family went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were cared for and had a great time. Their dogs got along great with mine and I could tell that had a great time by how tired they were when they got home. I can’t recommend them enough, your pups will be in great hands!”
“I couldn’t have asked for more capable and loving sitters for my little baby! He was happy and well cared for and clean for a long extended stay. Will absolutely use again and have already booked for another stay”

“Lissa was great. She treated our Zippy during his stay of 8 days like her own. The communication was great. I could tell that he was given lots of love from the pictures and texts. Highly recommended!”
“Marley had a great time with Young and her family! Throughout the stay I received updates and photos which is very important to me and I knew my fur baby was in good hands. I highly recommend her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Malibu is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $98 per night. 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.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Malibu can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Malibu home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Malibu.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Malibu sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
