“Ocean had such a great stay while I was away! I got tons of videos, photos, and updates throughout my trip, and she looked so happy and comfortable the entire time. She ate well, slept well, and clearly had an absolute blast. She came home completely exhausted from all the fun, which is always a great sign! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well taken care of while I was gone. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Oli was able to accommodate my cat last minute while I was moving. My kitty tends to be nervous around new people and places, and Oli definitely helped her feel comfortable and safe (as evidenced by the cute pics she sent throughout her stay!). I’m super grateful to Oli and the care she gave my Josephine, highly highly recommend!! Her dog Benji is also a sweetheart :)”
“Rajarshi is absolutely amazing! He watched our dog like as if he was his own child! He sent us regular updates with pictures and videos of what our dog was doing during the day! Gave him 3-4 walks during the day, played with him and took such great care of him! We will always leave our dog with Rajarshi! Rajarshi’s background and experience in fostering dogs makes him one of the most experienced & well rounded pet sitter who you can trust blindfoldedly! I would say that anyone and everyone can trust him with their pets! I wish I could give him 10 stars ⭐️ but 5 is the maximum we can give so giving him 5 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Maryam was absolutely wonderful with Fiona. She was very accommodating when I needed to change the dates, which I truly appreciated. She also took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand so our dogs could meet, which made me feel even more comfortable. Her dog is very friendly and gets along well with small dogs, and Fiona fit right in. Maryam kept me updated with pictures and clearly took such great care of Fiona. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I would highly recommend Maryam to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Chenaie did a great job watching Koda! She took him on hikes nearly everyday and let him play around in her fenced in yard. She also sent daily videos of him playing which was great - 10/10 would recommend to anyone!”
“Jonathan took such wonderful care of Luxor while I was away. From the very start, he was kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with. He made sure he got plenty of walks, TLC, and updates for us every day, and it truly showed his sweet nature caring for our precious Boy. We joked Luxor wouldn’t want to come back home he was so happy and well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in such loving hands. I’m so grateful to Jonathan and Poppy! and would happily trust him again in the future.”
“Lucinda was exceptional! She was kind, caring and very communicative. She is definitely a fur baby lover who has a substantial amount of experience with all types of dogs! I felt at ease while I was on my vacation due to her sending multiple pictures and updates on the regular. She also has a fenced in yard where all the dogs can play and have an amazing time! I would definitely use her again!”
“Victoria was amazing! She was able to watch my dog on very short notice for a family emergency and was very communicative throughout the whole process. My dog was clearly well cared for and happy during her stay.”
“We were visiting Las Vegas and needed last‑minute care for our two elderly dogs, and Diane truly went above and beyond. Not only did she welcome both of our girls on short notice, she cared for them for four days during a week of extreme heat — something they wouldn’t have tolerated safely. This was our first time using Rover, and Diane made the entire experience feel easy and reassuring. She was wonderfully communicative from start to finish, sending updates and photos throughout their stay. One of our girls, Sherry, had an upset stomach, and Diane was so attentive and comforting, letting us know she was keeping a close eye on her. Her kindness allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our trip, knowing our dogs were in safe, loving hands. We are incredibly grateful for her care and hope to use her babysitting services again. Diane is truly a gem, and we can’t thank her enough.”
“Our dachshund Eva had a wonderful stay with Kiyarash! Spacious backyard, updates/ pictures daily, and extremely responsive with texts. He understands that dogs are considered like family so that gave me lots of comfort. I will be definitely be booking again for any future travels :)”
“Sierra was wonderful with Archie! She was very communicative throughout his stay and sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. You could genuinely tell she cared about him and treated him with so much love and attention. We felt completely comfortable knowing Archie was in such good hands and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Alice was wonderful to work with! She took great care of everything and kept me updated throughout the entire time. She regularly sent photos and updates, which gave me peace of mind and showed how thoughtful and caring she is. She was kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend Alice and would definitely work with her again!”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. I work from home! We have a huge double fenced in yard. Animals are therapy. I had farm animals for years and ready to just give love to dogs and cats. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. In your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect while maintaining a calm, clean, and secure environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, affection, and supervision. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible while you’re away, giving you complete peace of mind.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Malibu on Rover is $37.45 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 Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 7,396 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Malibu. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Malibu sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Malibu landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Malibu home-away-from-home, we recommend 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.
Tip: 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 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 .
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.
