About: I love all animals and have had dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, hamsters, birds, honey bees, a turtle and fish.... oh my! I am currently a life-coach specializing in health and wellness and because I do this remotely, I have the great opportunity to also be able to help others out by taking care of their home and animals while they are away. I raised a daughter as a single mother and when we went out of town I paid sitters to stay at our home in Aspen and Los Angeles and care for it and my animals while we were out of town, so I thoroughly understand what is expected of a home and animal sitter/walker. I love all animals of all sizes and I would love to help you out caring for your animals and/or home. You can visit my website to learn more about me and my business. My website is KimberlyLynnWilliamsdotcom Because health and wellness is my life, I do not smoke, drink, or do any kind of drugs, or even medication’s for that matter. Because I’m so healthy, I am chemically sensitive. I am only available to sit in homes that use fragrance-free detergent and fabric softener, natural cleaning, products, and do not use any kind of plug-ins, or air fresheners. I don’t have a problem with 100% pure essential oils at all. I do have a little 5 pound toy sized Maltese- Pomeranian dog named Rosie that travels with me. I used to have Rosie and two Newfoundland’s but when I lost my newfies, Rosie needed to be with me 24 seven. She’s 12 years old. She doesn’t care anything about cats and leaves them alone. If you’re interested in connecting, I would be happy to come and meet and see if it feels like a fit. I have my own business and I work from home, which frees me up to health care for your pets in your home. It’s an ideal situation. I only sit in your home as I currently do not offer sitting in my own home. I find that this is more comfortable for the animals to be in their own home anyway.

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.

I felt so comfortable leaving my elderly doggie and puppy in the hands of Anita. She is sweet as pie and took such good care of them. She was so understanding of all the little things we do with the pups and adhered to their strictish schedules and regimens. Would absolutely have her watch the boys again.

About: Hi! I'm Arvanh 😊 Animal companions have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, there was always some kind of animal around: dogs, cats, fish, parakeets, and even chickens, ducks, and cows when I spent time with family in Laos. Being around these companions just been a normal and joyful part of life for me. One of the biggest reasons I'm here on Rover is because of my dog, Avery. Avery was my best friend for many years and taught me so much about patience, loyalty, and unconditional love. Like most pet owners, I talked to her like she was a person, and planned parts of my day around making sure she was happy. Since losing her, I've realized how much I miss having furry kids in my life and how much I genuinely enjoy caring for them. Over the years, I've become the friend people call when they're heading out of town and need someone they trust to watch their fur babies. I've cared for: -energetic dogs who want to play nonstop, -cats that needed cuddle time and WALKS (wild, I know) -and nervous pets who just need a calm presence while their humans are away. When I care for someone's pet, I try to get to know their personality, routines, and preferences so I can give them the unique attention they deserve. That means: attention, sticking to their routine, and making sure you never have to wonder how they're doing. If you're away, I'll send photos and updates throughout the day because I know personally how comforting it is to see your pet happy and relaxed while you're gone. For house sitting, my goal is simple: keep your pet's life feeling as normal as possible (with some fun of course). We'll stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, and whatever routines help them feel comfortable. If needed, I'll also take care of the little things around the house so you can enjoy your trip without worrying. :) For drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, food, water, and care they need during my visit. Whether they want to play fetch, chase a toy, get belly rubs, or even just have someone sit with them for a bit, I'm happy to meet them where they're at. For dog walks, I love letting dogs enjoy the walk at their pace. Some dogs want to power walk the whole neighborhood, while others are on a mission to sniff every tree in sight. Either way, we'll have a good time and you'll get photos afterward so you can see their adventure. At the end of the day, I know that pets aren't "just pets." They're family. I also know how much trust it takes to hand over your keys and leave someone in charge of a furry family member you love. My goal is to make that decision feel easy by giving your companion lots of care, attention, and affection while keeping you updated every step of the way. I'd love to meet you and your furry companion! Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. In my professional life, I've worked as an engineer, but right now I'm taking time off and intentionally spending more time focusing on the people, experiences, and things that bring me joy! Including caring for animals! Whether it's a quick drop-in visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I genuinely enjoy making pets a part of my day. I'm also a big believer in keeping owners updated, so sending photos and little updates throughout the day is something I genuinely enjoy, not something I do out of obligation. At this time, I only provide care in my clients' homes. I find that pets are often happiest and most comfortable in a familiar environment where they can stick to their normal routines. Before caring for a pet, I like to learn about their personality, habits, schedule, favorite activities, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. Every pet is different, and I try to tailor my care to their individual needs. For house sitting, my goal is to make things feel as normal as possible while you're away. I'll follow feeding schedules, provide walks and playtime, give plenty of attention and companionship, administer medications if needed, and keep your home tidy and secure. For drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet has fresh water, food, potty breaks or litter box care, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I'll also keep an eye on their overall well-being and let you know if anything seems unusual. For dog walks, I focus on safety, exercise, and making sure your dog has an enjoyable experience. Some dogs want a brisk walk, while others prefer to stop and sniff every interesting thing they find. I enjoy both! No matter the service, you can expect regular photo updates and communication so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away.

2nd time that Sarah and Karl have house sat our dogs while we were traveling and I can’t say enough about them. True professionals, super flexible and accommodating where possible, very respectful of the apartment, great communicators, and most importantly - our dogs love them. They’re truly kind and caring and we are lucky to have found them here.

About: I have had rescue dogs my whole life, so I have experience dealing with large dogs that have special needs. I also worked in a pet supply store for 2 years, so I have interacted with a wide variety of behaviors and care requirements. My schedule is currently very flexible, so I can make myself available at any time with enough notice, including periods like nights, weekends, and holidays. I will listen to instructions about a pet’s individual needs, and care for them accordingly. I understand the importance of a consistent routine, and will make sure any pets remain as comfortable as possible.

About: I understand that every animal has a different personality, routine, comfort level, and way of communicating, so I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets who need plenty of exercise and play, as well as older or more relaxed pets who may need extra patience and attention. I’m also very attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications, behavioral cues, and special instructions from owners. My goal is not just to keep pets safe, but to make them feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate consistent time to pet care throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, walks, and overnight stays depending on the pet’s needs. I’m organized, reliable, and committed to making pet care a regular priority in my routine. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow each pet’s established routine, including feeding, walks, medications when applicable, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I prioritize safety by keeping pets supervised, maintaining a clean environment, and being mindful of doors, gates, and other potential hazards. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away.

Madelyn is now our 4-mo-old puppy's favorite person! She gave up her Thanksgiving to stay with Ziggy at our house, but it wasn't just a "stay." Madelyn played with her and give her so much love and attention. It was just what Ziggy needed and we were so happy to trust her with our puppy! We're also very happy that Madelyn will be coming back to stay with Ziggy again in a couple of weeks. Thank you, Madelyn!

Aurelie did a wonderful job taking care of Floyd. As soon as she walked in my door (on time) Floyd jumped in her arms to give kisses and play, I was instantly confident we found a great match in Aurelie. Additionally she was very respectful of my home, arrived on time, had a great demeanor with me. This is my first time using Rover and will definitely be coming back to book Aurelie

Maria kept me updated with the sweetest photos and videos, followed all of my instructions, and made sure Dolly had plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and cuddles. It was so clear that Dolly was having the best time! You can truly see how much Maria loves dogs and how much care she puts into everything she does. Dolly absolutely adored her, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would happily leave Dolly with Maria again and highly, highly recommend her!

Marissa was superb! She is such an animal person. Isis immediately fell in love with her immediately and they had a great time. Plenty of walks, lots of love and Marissa even took her back and forth to daycare three times over the course of a week. Marissa left the house spotless and was kind enough to strip the beds so the housekeeper could launder the sheets and towels. I will definitely hire her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Malibu Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Malibu Beach on Rover is $36.63 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 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 September 2026, there are 11,992 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Malibu Beach. 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 Beach 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 Beach 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 Beach 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 Beach. 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.
