Austin is the best pet sitter we have used to date. He was friendly and responsive. He took great care of our pup and even looked after some monarch butterflies we had hatching for our daughter in the backyard ;) He went over the top to clean up after himself and even throw in a load of laundry to clean the linens he had used. HIGHLY recommend! We will definitely use him again :)

About: Hi! I can’t wait to meet your beloved fur babies! I spent the past three years working full time at an animal sanctuary where I cared for horses, dogs, cats, goats, and sheep. My passion is riding horses and hiking with dogs. I've owned & loved 4 of my own horses, 4 dogs, 6 cats and several smaller animals in my life. I am an avid hiker and love being outside on my next adventure - hopefully with your pooch next! It's a true pleasure to enjoy the company of your beloved dog, horse, cat or other beloved family member. I'm a lucky mommy of two daughters ages 11 & 9 years who love animals as much as I do. They often join me in the animal care. I can't wait to help spoil your babies! My schedule is currently fairly open and flexible. I am especially available early in the morning and later in the afternoon/evening. Sat and especially Sunday are usually totally open for me. I would prefer to go to other people's homes to care for there pets however I could take one or possibly two smaller dogs in my own home. I do not have a yard but I go on long walks and have trails all around me.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or sticking to their normal routine, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow any special instructions. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and my goal is to give owners complete peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. As a college student on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day for drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care. I’m also happy to commute to make pet care as convenient as possible for you Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, make sure your pet always has fresh food and water, and maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I’ll also treat your home with respect, keep everything clean, and send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals and genuinely love caring for dogs of all personalities. Friends call me their dog’s favorite “aunt” because pups tend to feel comfortable and attached to me right away. I live in a peaceful Malibu beachside home with ocean breezes, nearby trails, and mountain views. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, fresh air, plenty of rest, and a calm, cozy space with lots of natural light. My home is safe, comfortable, and perfect for dogs who love both gentle adventure and deep relaxation. Having a pet fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and create my own schedule, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day rather than stepping in and out. I’m active and spend a lot of time outdoors, so walks, beach time, and light hikes are already part of my daily rhythm. Your dog would be included in these routines in a way that feels balanced and appropriate for their energy level. Because I’m home most of the day, dogs are rarely left alone, and I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication, and quiet rest time. My week is intentionally structured to allow space for care, movement, and consistency, so pet sitting never feels rushed or secondary. Overall, pet care integrates seamlessly into my lifestyle, allowing me to offer calm, reliable, and hands-on attention every day. I care for every dog as if they were my own. My Malibu home is calm, clean, and intentionally set up to be safe and comfortable for dogs. I keep doors secured, maintain a tidy, pet-friendly space, and always supervise during indoor and outdoor time. My home has lots of natural light, cozy resting areas, and a peaceful atmosphere that helps dogs settle in easily. Daily care is tailored to each dog’s needs, whether that’s trail walks, beach walks, playtime, or plenty of rest. I stick closely to your dog’s routine for feeding, walks, and any special instructions, and I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and comfort at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, follow instructions carefully, and maintain consistency so dogs feel secure in their familiar environment. Communication is important to me, and I’m happy to share updates and photos so you always feel confident and at ease while your dog is in my care.

About: I've taken care of dogs large and small for over a decade from bull mastiffs to anatolian shepherds. As a Behavioral Interventionist/therapist with 6 years of experience, I have developed strong observation skills, patience, attention to detail, and the ability to respond calmly to changing situations. Pet owners can expect someone who is loving, dependable, observant, and committed to treating their pets with the same care and respect that I would give my own. Whether it's dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, administering routines, or providing companionship while owners are away, I take pride in ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m currently working part-time as a school aide and a first time dad, but have plenty of time to play and attend your pet’s needs this summer. I am available for sitting on weekends and week days anytime until the next school year starts on August 14th 2026. I lived on a fenced property while raising our dogs. I can provide pets with consistent care, attention, and supervision based on their individual needs and routines. Whether that’s indoors or out.

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life. I dog-sit very frequently! I absolutely love taking care of dogs and being able to spend my time with animals. I am a student in a masters program and Dogsitting is what I love to do in my free time! I work part time on Mondays, Wednesday’s and Fridays! I go to school three times a week. I am very flexible with time. Normally I have breaks every 4hrs at the latest to check in on the dogs throughout the week. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog. However, I am more interested in watching dogs at their own homes. I am able to take your dogs on multiple walks throughout the day and giving them plenty of love and affection.

FAQs for House Sitting - Malibu

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Malibu on Rover is $64.2 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 House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 11,230 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Malibu. 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 Malibu 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 Malibu 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 Malibu 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 Malibu. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
