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.
“Alfonsus and Ayni were great, kept us informed about our fur baby’s comfort level throughout the day with photos and videos. So good to know our little girl was having fun and in good hands!”
“Mando was very flexible as we were scheduling. As I have a giant breed puppy, it takes someone strong (physically and mentally) and he was able to handle my giant baby adeptly. He posted lots of photos as well.”
“Mary had a nice home environment that I felt very comfortable leaving my 10 month old puppy at. I really appreciated the communication and photos throughout the half-day drop off!”
“April took wonderful care of Toby during his day with her! She made sure he got plenty of walks and sent tons of adorable photos to keep me updated. She’s incredibly friendly, easy to communicate with, and very responsive. I could tell Toby had a great time. I would definitely trust and recommend April!”
“My (and my dog, Sully's) first time with Susan. Susan's got her act together. She knows all the right questions to ask and even went above and beyond to make sure Sully was ok throughout the day and night. Would definitely recommend Susan.”
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs, so I truly understand how much they mean to a family. I genuinely love caring for animals and always adapt to each pet’s unique personality. I take into account their breed, age, and energy level to make sure they get the right balance of attention, play, and rest. Living in Santa Monica has been amazing—I walk or run by the beach every day, often twice, and it’s even better with a dog by my side. I’m excited to meet you and your fur baby! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work remotely from home. That means your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and love throughout the day. I’m here for walk breaks, playtime, and snuggles—making sure your pup feels safe, cared for, and never alone for long. I care for dogs with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a safe, calm, and nurturing environment. I follow your pet’s routine, give plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles, and always prioritize their comfort, health, and happiness. Every dog is treated like family.
“Jonathan did a fantastic job watching my dog while I attended a work function. He was very kind, clearly knowledgeable about dogs, and took great care to keep my anxious pup happy and comfortable while I was away. I highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Magenka is an amazing sitter, we’re lucky we found her here on Rover. She’s incredibly caring, attentive, and sweet towards Bilbo. I felt at ease knowing my anxious dog was in such good hands. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone who truly loves and cares for pet.”
“Bagel had a great time with Oli and Benji. Oli was very communicative and understanding with a last minute request and couple of changes around timings. Would definitely recommend Oli for anyone looking for a local sitter, Bagel came back happy and relaxed both days.”
“This is our first time leaving Yeti for a day care and was nervous at first but Cammy send pics of Yeti and looks like Yeti was having fun and met new pup friends. I am about to schedule a boarding with Cammy next month to see how he does at her place.”
“Aleesa took care of my Penni as if she was her own. She sent countless updates throughout the day that reassured me Penni was not only in good hands, but blossoming and gaining confidence with both her and her fur babies’ influence. She gave her snuggles and love and took her for a walk to the park by the beach. I couldn’t have asked for more. Penni went from clinging to my side and fighting to leave me when I dropped her off to hardly showing interest in coming home! We will definitely be using Aleesa over and over.”
“Colton loved his time with AnnaDee and Julio. They were easy to work with, sent cute photos and he got lots of playtime, attention, and came home super happy and tired. Just how you want them at the end of the day. Thank you!🙏”
About: As a lifelong pet lover, I make sure every pet is comfortable, happy, and part of the family. Being home full-time means your pets get all the playtime, walks, and cuddles they deserve. I have experience working with a variety of behavioral needs and can also administer medication when necessary. Your pets will receive all the love and attention they need while you’re away! Since I’m home full-time, your pets will receive plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and love. With Palisades Park and the beach a few blocks away, your dog will have plenty to explore! Safety and trust are my top priorities. I provide a secure, pet friendly space with toys and cozy places to relax, and I closely supervise playtime and interactions. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable in my care. I also keep owners updated and respond promptly to any concerns, so you can feel confident your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for.
“Aaron has been so wonderful! 10/10. I was in a pickle and he was able to watch Piper for 7 days. He took such good care of her, walks.. dog park..beach..car rides..around town, she came home every day exhausted. She was excited to see him at every drop off. He kept me in the loop with lots of pics- highlight of my day while I was at work. She had the best time with him- I couldn't recommend him any more! Thank you so much!”
“Ana is the best! She is able to connect with animals and allowed our dog to feel at home and relaxed like he was a family member. She has a gift for taking care of dogs and truly cares for animals. Her communications are clear and concise and we feel relaxed to have our dog Maxx stay with her for doggie daycare or anytime overnight. Maxx our dog looked like he had visited summer camp when we picked him up and wanted to return many times because he was welcomed like he was visiting his family. Ana is truly a gift to many and makes taking of dogs look easy. We know many dogs have been helped by Ana and feel lucky to have located her on Rover. We tried others but Ana is the best!!!! David, Axe, Maxx and Joshua. Thousand Oaks, CA ☆☆☆☆☆”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Malibu Beach commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 6,703 sitters in Malibu Beach, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
