About: With 5 years of experience, I've cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, medication, walking, and giving dogs any extra attention they need! I am currently in college but have a flexible schedule with free time in the early morning middle of the day and evenings. I have plenty of flexibility for walks and playtime. I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. I live in a cozy apartment near the beach, so your pup can enjoy fun beach walks with me. I don't have other pets, and I have a comfy couch your dog will love napping on.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my unwavering commitment to the well-being and happiness of your furry family members. With a genuine passion for animals and years of experience, I provide not just a service, but a bond of trust and love with your pets. I prioritize their comfort, safety, and individual needs, ensuring every walk, playtime, or cuddle session is tailored to their unique personality. Your pets aren't just in capable hands; they're in caring hearts. Your peace of mind and your pet's joy are my top priorities, making me the perfect choice for your beloved companions. I'm in between jobs so I am very available for house-sitting or just daily walks - any type of care you need! (Weekdays and Weekends). I follow the instructions and care guidelines for the pet the way the owner outlines for any dog visit or dog-walking position. (I will not be caring for pets in my home).

“I had such a great experience with this sitter! She was incredibly kind and easy to communicate with from the start, which immediately put me at ease. While I was away, she sent me regular updates and photos, which really reassured me that my dog was happy and in good hands. She stayed at my home and took excellent care of everything ,well-kept space. Most importantly, my dog was clearly well cared for, relaxed, and happy. I truly appreciated her attentiveness, reliability, and the genuine care she showed. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter!”

About: I grew up with dogs in my household since i was 6 years old, as one of them got older they became a diabetic so I learned how to give insulin shots twice a day. I also helped run my aunt's in house pet sitting and walking service growing up back in high school for several years. Some of them needed meds with their food (dogs and cats) so I have experience in that as well. My schedule is very very flexible so please just shoot me a message and we can discuss details! For daily, weekly, monthly, etc. thank you! Checking up on them here and there, giving them tons of love and play time! Making sure they're fed on time, always have water, frequent walks

About: Beginning with a puppy of my own, I've grown up surrounded by animals and been taking care of them, petsitting, day care, and walking. I have always been maternal over animals and have a deep love for them. From working at a zoo to caring for friend's and roommate's critters over the years, I have always enjoyed finding all the ways to make animals feel loved with their unique personalities. I am a full time student at UCLA, so I am able to focus on your furry friend and devote my attention to ensure they get the care most suited for them. I grew up in Los Angeles and feel completely comfortable navigating around the area that is the most safe for your animal, have fun routes for walks, and am always down to clown with an adventure. Let's have some fun, and I would love to be your FBBF! I am a biology and tech student with reliable transportation and a need for speed. It's my priority that your animal is getting the attention they deserve which make my schedule flexible to work around your furry friends. I'm pretty active and like getting my steps in, and I would always love the comfort of your animal so we can go exploring together. Most accidents are caused from carelessness or a lack of attention to an upcoming issue. Luckily, I am a little too observant sometimes which means I focus more on preventative care rather than allowing for carelessness to conquer. Trust is mutual so it is my mission to administer that trust early on in the relationship with your animal with both gentleness and firm stability that they feel taken care of.

About: I have years of experience with dogs of my friends and family. I'm everyone's "go to" because they know I'm good with their animals and their house. Most dogs warm up to me pretty quickly, and I'm good at reading a pet's personality. I'm an avid runner and hiker, and I'm good with dog walking/training commands, and very cautious of other dogs when walking the dogs I sit. I also have experience giving meds, subcutaneous fluids, asthma inhalers and with senior animals. One note: I'm allergic to many breeds of dogs, so if your dog MUST sleep in bed with a sitter and is NOT a doodle, poodle, portie, schnauzer, bichon or other hypo breed, I unfortunately cannot do that. Hanging out with them and loving on them is fine, as I can wash my hands after. I am a freelance Account Executive with a high end architectural stone company, so half the time I am on the laptop, the other half I am visiting job sites or clients. My days are usually flexible, so I can work with reasonable schedules. When I house sit I respect the client's home and privacy the way I would want mine respected. And I leave the home as clean as it was when I arrived. I make sure that the pets are safe from any danger, and that if I'm out, they are inside. And if we agree on a schedule, I stick to it, unless there's an emergency, which I will communicate immediately.

About: Dogs and Cats have been a part of me life for decades. Very experienced with Tripod (3-legged) Dogs, Senior Dogs, Cats with Renewal Failure, and dogs with anxiety issues. Cared for tiny Chihuahuas and Pugs, muscular dogs like Pit Bulls and Cane Corsos, and big old (130lb) love bugs like Tibetan Mastiffs. I am comfortable administering medication in food, crushed up in food, in a "meatball," in a pill pocket, or even applying topical medication. Picky eaters love my food games and after a few days with me, they are excited to eat (always happy to share my tricks with pet owners who are interested) I work remotely and have been providing in home pet care for the past 2 years. Always happy to have a cat cuddle up with me at night or to take a dog on a little weekend car adventure to a nearby walking trail where we can check out squirrels. I treat each home with care: no parties, no drugs, no drinking, no smoking. I'm also mindful to clean up after myself. A clean familiar space allows pets to feel at ease when their owners are away which allows us to connect faster. I am happy to have a pet sit on my lap, sit next to me, or just let them have as much space as they desire.

“Heidi was absolutely wonderful on all levels, with Levi and with our family! She has been so tuned in to instructions and details pertaining to Levi and everything related to our house. From the start, she was very attentive and truly wanted to provide the best experience to Levi, asking about his routine and patterns. She was willing to let him sleep on her bed, despite Levi hogging a big space!!! Heidi sent us photos and updates throughout our long weekend. The best part is that we were not worried for one minute on our trip and that is very precious. This was our first time hiring Heidi but will definitely not be the last!”

About: I've grown up around dogs and have over 20 years of experience caring for them. From tiny Chihuahuas to large, energetic Pit Bulls, I'm comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Over the years, I've learned how important it is to understand each dog's individual temperament, energy level, and daily routine. Whether your dog needs long walks, plenty of playtime, or a little extra patience and attention, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I treat every dog with the same love, respect, and care that I would give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. Having grown up around dogs and cared for my own cats for over seven years, I'm very accustomed to building my schedule around the needs of animals. I enjoy spending time with pets and am happy to accommodate their established routines, whether that means morning walks, scheduled feedings, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially when their owners are away, and I make it a priority to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your pet, especially in your own home, is a big decision, and it's a responsibility I take seriously. My priority is always making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I take the time to learn each animal's personality, routines, and individual needs, and I'm comfortable administering medications or following specialized care instructions. When caring for pets in a client's home, I'm especially mindful of maintaining their familiar environment and respecting the owner's space. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, careful about following instructions, and always happy to provide photos and updates for your peace of mind. Above all, I treat every animal with the same patience and affection I give my own.

About: Caring for animals has been second nature to me since childhood. Over the years, my experience has spanned far beyond standard pet care- I've raised and cared for everything from dogs and cats to ferrets, bunnies, goats, pigs, and chickens. That diverse hands-on background taught me how to read animal body language, manage different temperaments, and handle daily routines with patience and confidence. Today, our home is a true animal-loving environment. We share our space with our sweet rescue dog, Valentina Bella, whom we welcomed into our family nearly two years ago. My two children have grown up sharing that same respect and gentle affection for animals, making our house a warm, nurturing second home. Expect to have a safe, calm environment: Your pet's comfort and routine come first. We prioritize safety, clear boundaries, and saree-free transitions. Attentive Care & Exercise: Whether your dog loves neighborhood walks, active playtime, or just lounging nearby while receiving gentle affection, their daily needs will be met. Consistent Communication: I know how important peace of mind is when you're away. You can count on regular updates, notes, and photos throughout their stay. Comfort with All Personalities: From outgoing social butterflies to rescues that need a little extra time and patience to feel secure, we know how to meet animals where they are. Because we already share our home with our own rescue dog, a steady, dependable pet routine is second nature to our household. My schedule allows for dedicated time before, during, and after work/school hours to give dogs the exercise and care they need. Mornings begin with breakfast and a solid walk to burn off energy before the day starts. During the day, our setup ensures pets are safe, comfortable, and never left unattended for extended periods. Evenings and weekends are completely centered around family and pets - featuring long neighborhood walks, play sessions, and calm downtime. We treat pet care as a priority and make sure visiting guests receive the exact same consistency, affection, and structure as our own dog. Safety is top priority. We start with a mandatory meet-and-greet to ensure compatible temperaments before any stay. Inside our pet-proofed, secure home, visiting pets are closely supervised, and slow, respectful introductions are always practiced. With years of experience managing diverse animals and rescues, I am vigilant about body language and routine boundaries. Your dog will never be left unattended with other pets or children without direct supervision. When walked, pets are always securely leashed. You'll receive prompt daily photos and honest updates so you always know your pet is secure and comfortable.

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 of House Sitting in Malibu Beach is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $80 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 11,917 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work 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:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
