“Just the most lovely family! They took such good care of my pup while I was away. I highly recommend them! Thanks so much for your patience and kindness with my pup.”
“Brittany has been amazing with my pup who has some separation anxiety. He gets excited when he realizes where we are headed, he practically busts the door down to get in!”
“We are so beyond grateful for April! Our dog Frankie got sick right before our honeymoon, and we were so nervous to leave him. But April went above and beyond—nursing him back to health, making sure he was eating, hydrated, and loved every step of the way. She gave us regular updates, eased our minds, and treated Frankie like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter during such a stressful time. Thank you, April, for taking such amazing care of our boy! 🐾💛”
“Mariia was so pleasant to work with. This was our first experience using Rover and we couldn’t be more satisfied. She sent us updates daily and made us feel comfortable keeping our pets with them the entire time. Highly recommend!!!”
“Ryan was great! He accommodated a last minute need when my sitter fell through and he was wonderful. Kept me updated and very responsive when I reached out. Finn came back to me happy as ever - will absolutely be booking Ryan again!”
“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:)”
“I can not stress enough how amazing Susan was to work with. Her kindness and professionalism was such a pleasant surprise. You always expect someone who is watching your dogs to be kind and professional but she took it to a lvl I never expected and fully appreciated. My girls had a blast with her all day. She basically took them on a doggie play day for the entire day. They were pampered and loved the whole day. We were visiting the area in our RV and spent the day at Universal. We were not stressed at all worrying about our girls because she kept us updated with pictures and videos the whole day. We could tell from the videos that our girls were having a great day. If we were local I would hire her just to take our girls out for doggie fun days. 100% recommend her.”
“It can be so nerve racking leaving a working breed dog with anyone, but Jonathan is amazing. He sent lots of amazing pictures of their adventures and really put my mind at ease. He’s so calm and really seems to just love being around dogs. Couldn’t recommend him more!”
“Jax had another great stay with Vicky! She sent regular photos and updates and made me feel at ease leaving Jax for the 4th of July weekend. I highly recommend Vicky and she will be the first person I reach out to next time I need care for Jax.”
“Siobhan did such an amazing job taking good care of our two puppies! She was great at giving us updates and pictures and our dogs were very happy with her in her home. I highly recommend her!”
“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 :)”
“Mochi was completely at ease with Colin, and settled in immediately—none of his typical loss of appetite in the first day or two, so I guess he just felt right at home from the start! Colin was extremely accommodating with our schedule, and very chill. An obvious dog lover through and through. Highly recommend. We will book him whenever he’s available.”
“Amorn and Adam are great with our dog Leo. Leo seems to be right at home with them, and we really appreciate all the adorable photos they send! We are very grateful to have found people we can our trust with our dog and look forward to his next visit!”
“I truly can’t say enough good things about my experience with Jennifer. She took such incredible care of Pip and treated her like her own. From the start, she was warm, attentive, incredibly accommodating and thoughtful about Pip’s specific needs. She was also so communicative, sending updates and photos throughout the weekend that made me feel completely at ease. It’s never easy leaving your dog, but Jennifer made the entire experience seamless and stress free. Pip was so comfortable and happy, which means everything to me! I would absolutely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter and can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Our pup always has such a great time with Silvana and I can tell how much she’s cherished there as well 💗 it’s been a relief knowing she’s in good hands while we’re away 💛”
“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.”
“We have searched for a family like Nadia’s and are so grateful to have found them. Kona is a loving and energetic lab and loves to cuddle. Nadia is the first sitter to send pictures and updates without me asking. For the first time we can go away and know Kona is happy and loved. A Million Thank Yous to Nadia and her family. 🐾”
“Glenda is wonderful. It's not always easy to find people who are good with large dogs. My very big guy loves going to Glenda's place. She has plenty of space for him to run around and comfortable areas for down time too. I highly recommend her.”
“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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Malibu on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,455 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.
