“Kayla dropped in for two days- four visits, at my home to watch my doggie while I was away. I felt complete trust and confidence in Kayla when I met her. She took loving care of my Labrador and followed the instructions I left perfectly. She updated me on all details , took amazing pics of my dog and made sure she was happy and safe on her walks and when they returned. I’m so glad we found Kayla to take care of our lab while we were away ! I hope she is able to return for future drop-in’s. I highly recommend her !”


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 cared for dogs of many kinds and have experience dog-sitting for friends and family. I’ve helped with feeding, walks, and playtime. I’m responsible, attentive, and love spending time with animals I am a full time student athlete so I don’t have as much weekday availability but I am usually free on the weekends and would love to help walk or take care of your dog! I cannot offer services in my home, but I have years of housesitting and babysitting experience as a trusted worker. I am very active and am more than happy to help your dog get exercise!

“We were so happy to find Kim! She took great care of our five dogs and two rabbits while we were out of town. We had no worries leaving them in her hands. Such a great feeling to have a pet sitter we trust 100%.”
“Outstanding and reliable, with excellent communication! We have several pets (cat, tortoise, dragon, dogs, fish) and it’s good to know that we can count on Oli to perform our complicated pet routine when we’re away. Thanks!”

“Heather was fantastic!! On-time every time, great with my cat who seemed to have a lot of fun with her, and very communicative with potential issues. Won't hesitate to book her again in the future, and I recommend you do the same!”

About: I have extensive experience in both training puppies and providing compassionate senior care. Whether your furry friend needs basic obedience training or your elderly pet requires extra attention and gentle handling, I ensure a safe and nurturing environment. I am currently a college student who works remote. I have plenty of time for your furry companions and love to hang out with animals. I have a patio in my room and my apartment is located on the first floor. Easy access outside! I will keep up with any training that you need!
“Debora was excellent, friendly, and accommodated me under short time constraints (and great stress for me) when another pre-booked Rover sitter became unresponsive. So glad I found her! Great communication with updates and photos out me at ease when I was traveling! A+++”

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 grown up with animals my whole life. My first puppy was a Yorkie named Lola, who I got when I was 5 — she was my first love! Animals have always been one of the most meaningful parts of my life, and that hasn’t changed. I currently live with two cats and a dog, including my cat Kai, who is truly my pride and joy and the light of my life. I’d do absolutely anything for him, so I know firsthand what it’s like to love and care for your pet like they’re your child. Growing up, a lot of my volunteer work centered around animals, from helping at shelters to walking dogs in my neighborhood. I’d love to be an extra source of love, care, and support for you and your little one, and hopefully become your pet’s new favorite neighborhood friend! I care for the pets in my house everyday normally - as well as my partners cat. I also just finished the project I was on and have a lot of free time to help support you and your pets! I approach every animal I meet with gentleness and patience. Building trust is extremely important and every animal of different. I’m here to learn what your animal needs from me and adjust my approach intuitively.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since my childhood while living at grandma’s village house. A brunch of “pets” from cats, dogs and chickens - to geese, goats, cows, rabbits, turkeys. I’m available for boarding daily mostly 12-5pm. But every case depends, contact ahead to verify . Not doing early morning or late evening visits or walks. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, medications, exercise, and house rules, so pets stay comfortable in their familiar space. Change for fresh water if needed

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’ve been caring for animals for 10+ years through animal shelters and pet sitting. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, including administering medication, reinforcing training, bathing, and taking dogs on long walks or runs. I’m comfortable caring for large breeds, reactive dogs, and pets with special needs. My experience with caring for cats is extensive as well. As a law student, I study from home most days, so your pets will get plenty of attention, companionship, and care. My goal is to make sure you can relax knowing they are safe, happy, and well cared for! As a full-time law student, I spend most of my days studying from home, with only a few hours of class each day. That means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine, and they make great study buddies! I do my best to keep your pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable in the space they know best. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, medications, and even around the house if needed. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own. You’ll also receive daily updates and plenty of photos so you always know how they’re doing!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Malibu stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Malibu. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
